| I love this pub! Theres a great Nunhead Community feel about it. No Yummy mummys kids running around getting on your nerves, nice decent, well brought up children who know how to behave. Huge big function room at the back. Dogs welcome and tend to get a treat from the chef occasionally. Can't wait for the cold winter evenings snuggled around the fire if it's true what Pat Bateman Says. Try it, you'll love it. mario_2 - 9 Nov 2011 10:44 |
| I think this pub is really starting to take off. It's attracting a very nice friendly clientele. Most Sunday afternoons there's an excellent Irish singer with a guitar. But throughout November, on Sunday afternoons, there's gonna be jazz / Big Bands performing on stage. Also the food is fantastic and brilliant value for money. The pizzas are all made fresh with fresh dough that hasn't been pre frozen and are superb. For a mere 7 quid, they simply must be tried. The rotating 2 ales on offer vary from Butcombe / Caledonian 80 shilling / Otter Ale / St Austell Tribute / Old Hooky. Lovely cold pints of Addlestones cider also. Hopefully there's also gonna be real fires in the Winter. Pat_Bateman - 8 Nov 2011 12:00 |
| Really pleased it is open again, enjoyed a good night there on Sat for the Wizz Jones gig. However take exception with one of the comments made by Pat. It is precisely because it remains a traditional boozer that I like it, unlike the ubiquitous gastro pubs where interiors have been trashed such as the Clock, Herne and Forest Hill Tavern (aka the Rose). Why are we throwing all this away? The Butcombe and 80 shillings weren't to my liking, but this is me being fussy. Prices were sensible. baggydave - 19 Sep 2011 13:13 |
| The new people in charge seem like a decent bunch of blokes. I tried the pizza which was very good and the burger which was one of the best I've ever had. Both were a lot cheaper than most pubs these days. I really hope this pub becomes a success, but there's a lot of little unchangeable things going against it: It's a lovely building inside, but it doesn't get a lot of light and it's the kind of place where it might be difficult to generate any kind of atmosphere. It's competing against the nearby and already established Herne Tavern, Clockhouse and The Rye ... all of which have the added advantage of large outside seating areas. There are a couple benches at the front of the Ivy House, but there's not much to look at on Stuart Road. It's early days and I hope it succeeds, but they're gonna have a tough job, pulling customers away from those other pubs. I'll certainly be returning for more of those burgers.

| Wooohoooo - it's back! www.ivyhouselondon.com Under the same management as the Joiners Arms in Camberwell, the Ivy House is seriously reviving its entertainment reputation - and this time with some great food to match. They're lining up something for each night of the week - Monday is cult film night - with free popcorn. It's free and you get a home-made stone-baked pizza and a drink for £8.00 Tuesday sees Acoustic night , and Wednesday hosts the Carl 2Bob quiz night. Thursday rolls out some funk/soul/50s Rock and Roll, and Friday night's live music line up can be checked out on the website. The home maded burgers, hand cut wedges and stunning pizzas will feed you during the week, and William Rose in E Dulwich provides the beef, chicken and roast belly pork for the Sunday roasts. The IvyHouse has the potential to be a funky music venue, a cool local and a great eatery. and with Numhead station and the 383 and 484 around the corner, we're a doddle to get to! Come and say hi - you know you want to. Oh yes - great ales coming too!!! Do I sound biased? Sorry :-) but it really is good! There's only one way to prove me wrong..... homeboy - 18 Jul 2011 20:08 |
