| After the nightmare of Lee High Road (what a shite hole) I was glad to find this charming old fashioned pub, pity a pint of Spitfire cost £3. Miles007 - 8 Jun 2009 09:27 |
| D'oh. That noise you hear is my head banging against the wall in frustration. For 2 1/2 years I lived in walking distance but for some bizarre reason never made it to the Dacre. After having our ears assaulted to the point of bleeding at the Duke of Edinburgh's St. Paddy's karaoke we wandered up to the Dacre. It was like stepping out of a tardis and into a pub that time forgot. Quiet, clean, pleasant, everything a local should be. The Harvey's was in perfect shape. The locals were friendly and relaxed. No chavs, no hard plastic gangstas, just down to earth people enjoying each others company. Zaphod - 19 Mar 2009 11:53 |
| A gem... this place feels like stepping back in time and out of London to a small Derbyshire inn circa 1965. A real pub: no juke, pool table nor fruitie. A place to kick back and enjoy bonhomie with friends who like to chat and drink real ale, Guinness or spirits (though I can't vouch for their wines, the lager leaves a little to be desired) though with good quality ales on, why would you drink anything else? When pubs talk of refurb, this is where I'd want to bring landlords to show them the potential of a possible defurb - a classic. GuinnessGenius - 1 Feb 2009 21:45 |
| This pub is the nearest decent one if living in Lee. Friendly bar staff and a good range of well kept ales whenever I have visited. The atmosphere is pretty convivial and the seating encourages a certain coziness. Have been away from the area for about 9 years and pleasently surprised to find the pub as good as when I left it!

| Sandwiched between upmarket Blackheath Village and more down at heel Lee, the Dacre is a fairly small but cosy, welcoming and rather tranquil oasis in a fairly comfortable residential area. A good assortment of Ales is generally available although on my recent visit only the Courage Best and Green King IPA were left on leaving the Deuchers, Landlord and Harveys forlornly indisposed. From the out of action lager pumps I can assume they had a pretty busy session that took them by surprise. The interior is quite old fashioned but eminates a sedate and cosy atmosphere with little chance of experiencing anything by way of scandoulous or raucous behaviour (unless you owned the Blue Volvo that blocked in the barmaid’s car). There is a mass of hops draped around the bar frame and a variety of vases, urns, jugs, pictures, photos and all kinds of nick nacks that are balanced precariously on the shelves, mantelpieces, screen tops and anywhere else where space is to be found. Not a place for waltzing your partner whilst wearing a large rucksack. Don’t apply for any jobs as the duster either. Entertainment (apart from the playful scraggy old dog) comes from a basic TV perched in one corner and a healthy selection of books. This is as far away from Old Skool DJ’s, pool tables and Karaoke evenings as you could wish and all the better for it. The Dacre is certainly not a place you would come across by accident but well worth the effort to find if you are in the area and need a relaxing place to while away a few hours.
