| I went here for the first time yesterday having been "dragged" out to the wilds of southeast London for a Sunday roast by one of my best friends. All my grumbling about the fuss and buses stopped the instant I walked through the door though. The interior has to be seen to be believed. A marvellous mix of seafaring paraphernalia, tools, taxidermy, and other assorted fittings made for one of the most interesting inns I’ve ever been in. London Pride, Speckled Hen, and Black Sheep were the ales on and several pints of the latter were had with a great value Sunday roast. Not really a place for vegetarians, apart from the assorted mammals adorning the walls, but there were two dishes for those who don’t eat meat. We were also regaled with some most excellent renditions of "The Wheels on the Bus", "Run Rabbit Run", and "Norwegian Wood" on a keyboard. The_Puzzler - 14 Jan 2008 11:10 |
| Great gaff, been going in here when I can for the last 10 years or more now. Great on Sunday lunch time with Peter London warbling away and also some cracking stuff on entertainment wise during the week. I think it's only Wednesday night when the Monty is actually shut these days. Organic larger and a stuffed zebra in a carrage what more do you need in life? Sump Puppy night on every 2nd Thursday is the best night. Hats off to Stan and family for keeping this place so welcoming for so long. Long live the Monty! MingtheMong - 1 Mar 2007 19:26 |
| The monty is the best. I see from the reviews that we've been worrying about its popularity ruining it for 30 years, since the old standup comedy albums were recorded and the Saturday band were young. I've been going for 5 years & just noticed the glass-fronted coffin by the bar. My absolute favourite and rivalled for clutter only by the Canny Man's in Edinburgh. I'm quite sure it will remain unchanged as the "in-crowd" can't take the walk from the station. If you visit one pub in London before you die, make it the Monty. cablebasher - 30 Sep 2006 12:47 |
| It's brilliant here! Lovely staff (who know their music despite being a bit 'mature'); cool live music, etc. Go and get your picture taken next to a mooses' head! (the moose is dead, btw). Only drawback is wine only comes in one size which costs a fiver. But the glass is a huuuuuuge one, so, bygones. KilgoreTrout - 24 Jun 2006 22:22 |
| I only really dive in here on Sundays for the fantastic Sunday dinner and a few pints after - well worth the effort, but the other comments on here have convinced me a weekday evening would be a good idea. The beer's well-kept, service fast, friendly and courteous, and the food's proper Sunday Roast fare (with not one but THREE vegetarian options always on the menu), and plenty of it. Fantastic - 10/10 to Mac, the guy who does the cooking. Best pub in New Cross on a Sunday afternoon - everyone else here says the same thing about other days too, so I feel I've probably been stitching myself up only doing Sundays. I'll definitely try a few weekday nights as well from now on. Tentasticle - 22 Jun 2006 16:12 |
