| Mmmmmm... Difficult one this. Charlie chaplin has a bad reputation "apparently", On my visit I found the locals very friendly the beer not too bad although I do prefer a good ale. The local lad i spoke to was into football in a big way which i had to decline as I did not take to him very much but his friend thought I was a policeman.If you wanted a good local bar with "the lads" its there if you want a good quiet chat with your friends in suits it,s not so good.By and by however a good place if you live in the area!

| When I don't like someone and they've suggested a drink after work to catch up about 'the meeting' or 'the forecast for 2008'), I'd ask them to meet me here first and we'll find somewhere else nearer the centre. When I really don't like someone I fail to respond to their voice mails left on my phone asking me why I've sent them to this sh1t-tip. NOw....before the local Peckham brigade come and find me and sort me out, I would add that I have no real issues with the place. It serves beer. The clientelle are local but not intimidating unless - like so many things - you choose to be intimidated. Obviously asking for the wine list wouldn't be a great idea in here, but it's not really the point. Spit and sawdust says it all....a good old fashioned boozer which serves nice beer, a rough decor, but hey at least it's honest and reasonably cheap. It's not going to score highly with me on the grounds that it's beer selection is still poor and that occasionally I do like to go to a pub where my friends can go too and not feel I've either been possessed by the pikey monster, or have been sectioned, by sending them there. BTW - It's unlikely you'll see many suits in there, which suits me down to the ground. rampantwurzel - 10 Jan 2008 15:30 |

| I went here years ago and have never been as scared in my life. I don't think the juke box stopped as we walked in but it might as well as done. The worse thing was that one of our group was completely oblivious to the growing threat of violence building around us and we had some trouble in getting him to leave while we could still walk... Maybe I'll give it another go...... NOT.. anonymous - 29 Mar 2007 18:09 |
| A proper local for locals who are down to earth and sociable. This bar took over from the Elephant & Castle when they got rid of their pool table. Winner stays on! A mostly international make-up of pool players who pop in for a sociable drink and chat. Chat to the bar staff and locals RogerB DH_PARKY - 21 Mar 2007 15:21 |
