| Not sure when this place re-opened, but it was certainly open on Tuesday evening. South Norwood appeared to be a slightly edgy area. The pub itself is in a residential area and seemed a relative haven from the rest of South Norwood. Neverthless, it was nothing special with only Greene King beers on and a fairly bland modernised interior. Greene King IPA & Hardy & Hansons Rocking Rudolph were the 2 ales on offer, with a Ruddles best clip turned around and a fourth handpull unused. Doubt I would come back even if I was unlucky enough to be in the area again. blue_scrumpy - 18 Dec 2011 13:21 |

| Before moving to Weymouth in 2000 t'Bert was my local. I'd been using it since about a year after it reopened in 1966 (I was 16!)and I'd played for one of the two cricket clubs. In the days of Binnie and Don (Binnie now has the Harp in Covent Garden) it was an excellent boozer and I wouldn't hesitate to rate it 9 if not 10. When 11am till 11pm opening came in Binnie said "I'm not shortening my hours for anyone"! Since Binnie left the pub has had many landlords, some good, some bad and some appalling. It has also had many refurbishments. Since I moved I've been back to South Norwood to visit friends (and, sadly, to attend funerals) and I've dropped in to t'Bert on most visits. The beer (GK IPA and Old Speckled Hen) is reasonable but not exceptional. The staff are friendly and the surroundings comfortable. It must be doing something right when you consider the number of other pubs in the area which have closed since I moved away. Steveexpopes - 29 Apr 2010 11:14 |
| have seen this pub have 3 different owners now in the last 5 years or so - the latest owners have improved the food menu, size of portions and quality of the food which i would recommend. nice space with pool table and friendly staff in general. however recently the owner has not been cleaning the garden area after her dog which is not very nice when going outside. fair prices and fair selection of drinks, overall, 7 out of 10. nicci_bee - 4 Jan 2010 12:09 |
