| Mock-Tudor style gastro pub located on Nunhead Green. Seems a bit out of place with surroundings but a safe haven from what looks like some dodgy pubs nearby. Interior is wood pannelled with a modern look - prints, sofas and chill-out music playing etc. Early evening mid-week it was very quiet but lots of activities advertised for other times including an Autumn Beer Festival. Good selection of beers, lagers, wines etc. Quantock Brewery Sunraker was very good if a bit on the expensive side - £3.30. Food menu extensive but pricey. However, ingredients appear to be of top quality with produce sourced from Borough Market and direct from farms. Couldn't judge quality of meals as dididn't eat or see any food coming out of kitchen. Looked like somewhere you could spend an hour or two relaxing and would certainly visit again if in the area. davewat - 29 Sep 2010 22:21 |
| Slightly upmarket pub attracting middle class couples and families. Football was showing on the TV in the corner. Ambient music was being played. The walls are wood panelled. Beers available were Hopback Summer Lightning, TT Landlord and a World Cup themed beer called Football Fever. The Aspalls cider pump was misleading, as the draught cider was in fact Strongbow. Aspalls was however available in bottles. The pub has a good selection of spirits. blue_scrumpy - 21 Jun 2010 19:01 |
| "There is another pub across the green called the Man of Kent which does not feature on this site - that one I would steer well clear of as it seems to be home the SE London pikey element." As an ocasional user of the Man of Kent I strongly object to this description. I have many criticisms of the licensee but the customers are somewhat above "pikey". If you only go to watch football you can expect the violent subspecies that football attracts. Otherwise they are standard working class drinkers in an old fashioned working class pub. Regarding the Nun's Head, it used to look like a pub but some yearsago went down the gastro route with the trendy minimalist deco, bad acoustics and high prices like a clone of Lordship Lane. sandmanne - 17 Jan 2010 13:42 |
| "There is another pub across the green called the Man of Kent which does not feature on this site - that one I would steer well clear of as it seems to be home the SE London pikey element." ===================================================================== You are quite correct. Mostly Irish-wannabe-Celtic supporting pikeys to boot. Pat_Bateman - 11 Jan 2010 11:33 |
| A pub in a part of London that is normally well off my beaten track but was in here for a football match last week. A single U shaped bar with chairs and tables scattered around and some of the despised sofas off to the left which also appeared to be the main footy watching area. Clientele and pub itself were perfectly acceptable and the food that was being served looked very good (although I didn't eat). It's fine for the area but not worth making a special effort for. There is another pub across the green called the Man of Kent which does not feature on this site - that one I would steer well clear of as it seems to be home the SE London pikey element. murgatroyd - 18 Oct 2009 11:30 |
