The Bear Free House, Camberwell

Went in there for Sunday lunch. One of the barmen appeared to be "on something" or just badly hungover (bloodshot eyes, twitchy lips, shaking hands) and there was an excessively long wait for our food to arrive (nearly an hour); otherwise I would have thought this was a great pub, as opposed to just good. Nice atmosphere, excellent ales (e.g. Robinsons Dizzy Blonde, my namesake!), and the food (when it did arrive) was very good and not outrageously expensive (about �11 for a Sunday roast). Not necessarily a destination pub but a good local in a slightly sketchy area.
