| Is it just me or does the ceiling in the main bar look like its going to collapse? I find them alight here, though have seen a couple of nasty fights, but then thats par for the course pretty much everywhere these days (including all the snobby places in East Dulwich). reverendlionelblair - 27 Jul 2008 09:34 |
| Decent place, great prices, great pizza. Yes, it's the Ikea catalogue in 3D (not much different to my flat, really) but I think that adds to the friendly, unpretentious, neighbourhood-y feel. Place is always clean and tidy and the patio is a nice touch. My partner and I have eaten here usually a few times a month since moving to FH in 2005, and have never felt intimidated, or noticed it being particularly 'chavvy' - it mostly seems to be, as someone above said, a nice cross section of Forest Hill residents. Some of the bar staff are less friendly and helpful than others - but I doubt there's a bar or restaurant in London of which that isn't true. Question isn't The Palmerston at East Dulwich, and it's never going to be; but if you're snobby about clientele and atmosphere, then why not travel the few minutes down the road to East Dulwich?

| Visited Question yesterday and was decidedly unimpressed. Ordered a salad only to find the salad part of it missing and just ended up with a plate of chicken and bacon in caesar dressing instead. When I placed a complaint with the Management I was told that they appeared to be unable to accommodate my requirements (had only asked for extra lettuce)and that they thought it was best I didn't come back. Having eaten several times in this bar before and having always had excellent food and been dealt with in a respectable manner I found this somewhat aggressive stance by the owner surprising. I have to agree with the last review placed in October 2006 and say that the service is not what is used to be. Tokalosh - 1 Jun 2008 15:25 |
| Definitely the best pub in Forest Hill - but that's not hard considering the competition. Unfortunately, the service has gone down hill recently. Went there today at lunchtime and it took 15 minutes for the drinks order to be processed. It wasn't busy so I don't know why it took so long. We ordered our food (nothing fancy just basic stuff like burgers). Two people had to wait ages for theirs. We had all finished by the time theirs came (that's not the first time that's happened). Another two people joined us later on and also had to wait about 15 minutes for drinks. They ordered their food however one person ended up with nothing, so had to get his money back. No apology or anything. The Manager came over and said we should write the order down and drop it in prior to visiting or fax it over. What’s that all about, there were only 6 of us?!?!?! That said, when you eventually get your food it is nice. anonymous - 13 Oct 2006 15:51 |
