Surprised by some of the reviews below, although most are pretty out of date. I've always found landlord Steve and his staff here very friendly and helpful and the beer selection impressive and well kept. It is a little bit gastro I guess (although far less so than many others in this area) which isn't really my thing either but it's easy to avoid that if you just want a pint or 2 by staying in the main front bar and avoiding the (separate) dining room. Very dog friendly too (just down the road from the heath) plus the music's some of the best you'll hear in any London pub, always a top notch selection - I heard everything from Bob Dylan to Northern soul via Studio 1 and Herman Dune on my last visit. Top notch beer and fine tunes in a smart but not too un-pub-like local.

This place is really bad - would avoid it. Having order our roast beef Sunday lunches, 45 minutes later we were told that it was 10 minutes to go until the Yorkshire puddings would be ready. We thought that meant 10 minutes until the food, which would have been fine, but apparently it meant "we'll bring you your meals without all the advertised components". The food itself was under-par - stringy beef, over-cooked cabbage, undercooked cabbage, average potatoes. No Yorkshires - apparently, the chef burnt the second lot. They might have just about got away with all this, but I hate being lied to, which is what the staff did. No apology, a begrudging free bottle of wine (apparently, I didn't check), and no sense of customer service at all. I have grown up in North London - this is a place I would never go back to. They get a two because they have a nice location.

Visited this pub today after a hiatus of around six months. We were after an early Sunday lunch. Matter of factly the food was good, but I really can't get my head around paying £15 for a roast dinner. I guess its par for the course in the area, but ultimately, Lord Palmerston, you're not that good. 6/10 it is.

Understand the comments about this epitomising a gastropub. It's set up mainly for diners with a bare boarded bar area at the front and further seating areas to the rear, upstairs and outside to the rear. As drinkers only, we opted to sit ourselves on the patio at the front of the pub. Three real ales were on over the 4 handpumps - Purity Pure Gold, Youngs Waggle Dance and Adnams Bitter. The cider was Aspalls. We popped in the Dartmouth Arms afterwards, which unfortunately was not how I remember it. So the Lord Palmerston is definitely recommended over that one. But with a little more effort, you'll soon be at the Southampton Arms which is far more satisfactory.

Had an excellent pint of Redemption IPA here but the place is a little too 'gastro' for my liking. Even though no one was eating in the downstairs area it had what is almost becoming a standardised layout and feel which seems to epitomise the gastropub.
