| Used to be my local 2002-2005 and still pop in when I visit London. Bar staff always helpful and seem happy in their work. Beers always crystal clear and nicely cool, but not chilled too much. Never had a bad pint of bitter in there. Can't say the same for the many new gastro pubs in the SE23/SE22/SE15 area who usually sell bitter, but don't keep it well. They renewed the tired upholstery in 2005 and looking a bit better now, even if the pattern is a bit loud for my taste. Lots of old boys supping ale all afternoon watching Countdown, but the bar staff won't need asking twice to turn it down as drives then nuts too. If you catch the 176, 187 or 122 it will drop you precisely outside the door. Just 4 steps and you are inside :-) Food its traditional tasty English grub that leaves me well satisfied. The most expensive on the menu is the 8oz steak at £6. Highly refreshing compared to the upmarket gastro pub prices, where you cannot get soup of under a fiver. There is a food/restaurant area towards the back of the pub and perfect for families and children ok till six. Decked area out the back ok for a breath of air, but not a place I stay for long. Its tidy and well maintained, but prefer inside.Toilets clean and to high standard too. JustCallMeH - 15 Jul 2007 12:07 |
| Beer dirty - was poured a pint of Theaksons from an unmarked pump and it was filth. Had to refuse it even though the manager served it and didn't check! Worst excuse ever - it was only racked and tapped last night!!!! - This is not the way to look after real ale and is a disgrace to the trade. Alternative pint was pretty poor too. Food was slightly worse than abysmal and the atmosphere was missing presumed killed in last weeks fight. Don't just give it a miss - cross over the road to walk past it!! simonbromley - 14 May 2007 13:06 |
| The best-kept real ale in the Sydenham/Forest Hill/Crystal Palace area. karloff - 5 Apr 2006 17:26 |
| Since it lost its wetherspoons status this pub has got better and better. Excellent beer - Ridley's Rumpus at £1.65!!!!! It's superb! Food also quick and good. Not the greatest atmosphere in the world but for a quick couple of scoops it's hard to beat!!! sydenhambob - 3 Apr 2005 17:17 |
