Service was a little slow but well worth the wait. Great selection of unusual beers and ciders. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely go back.

Sunday Roast -Not yet in my top five for roasts in south London -not far off though: reasonable job, pleasant staff, £14 all trimmings which is a lot of money so e.g. thought the apple puree (not sauce) at bottom of bowl disappeared and was a tad stingy on portion- flavour blended into gravy so a bit pointless and disappointing. Why my partner prefers plates not wide bowls, which was his niggle, everything gravitates downwards into one mess- thankfully no boards lol) To be picky - offer horseradish or mustard for beef eaters please rather than customer has to chase the busy staff as they pass by. Good marks for Yorkshire pud and the roast pots though a bit generically salty it had a 'herby' outside which worked well. It's a very popular, in a good area, local so always book! Children and dog friendly.

Great food, helpful staff and a lovely atmosphere. Managed to book a table online which worked perfectly and had a very tasty Sunday lunch - beef was perfectly good, not overdone in any way, friend's pork belly looked delicious. Will definitely be back for more!

I had the rump steak with Parmesan truffle oil fries and my friend had the lamb with Dauphinoise potatoes. I asked for the steak to be medium rate and it arrived medium at best. The piece of meat wasn't great either however the peppercorn sauce was amazing. The portion of lamb was very small - the side of Dauphinoise potatoes dwarfing the lamb. Service on the whole was quite slow too.

Good service and dinner as usual. The only things to avoid are tables between the kitchen counter and the loos. There is often an unpleasant smell in the air. Otherwise great.

I don't go here enough - they are very friendly and welcoming, and the menu always looks appetising. However, the lunch menu is a little sparse and limited, and as I don't eat wheat, I was somewhat narrowed in my choices. I went for what sounded like a lovely light and fresh options, prawn and crayfish salad with grilled baby gem and grapefruit. When it turned up, it didn't look or feel like a restaurant dish - just a load of cold small prawns arranged over some leaves and fruit segments with a couple of dollops of lemon mayo. I'd probably been expecting much juicier prawns or at least something that looked like it hadn't just come straight out of the packet from Lidl! My companion had the charred salmon and that was lovely, with an attractive-looking mixed leaf base. We shared garlic greens, a pretty small portion for the price. I had a 50% off voucher for food, so when then bill came, I didn't feel so bad, but at full price, I'd have felt short-changed. The place was almost empty, so they were fast and friendly, happy to welcome my dog as well, and we had plenty choice about where to sit. I know the food here is usually excellent and I'm booked in for dinner next week, when the menu is MUCH more wide-ranging and appetising. maybe just my bad choice of limited options on this occasion, but it's worth noting that most people want to eat out for something they wouldn't normally make at home and for lovely presentation - those prawns might need to up their game ;)

We arrived with a baby in a pram, and unfortunately we were seated in the upstairs area. Even though there were tables downstairs, we were told we couldn't move. One diner ordered a medium rare steak, and it was served blue and cold. Upon returning it, she had to wait 20 minutes for a new one to be delivered.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. A varied menu of fairly standard stuff, but well prepared and served by very friendly waitresses. Always full, so a buzzy atmosphere. My only caveat is that if you are unlucky you may encounter a table of shrieking women.

Nice food, good service. Just that the food was a little cold on arrival at the table. I'd recommend the steak, it was very good but the truffle fries had quite a strong flavour which I liked but i know wouldn't be to everyone's taste.

Great service and lovely pub. The Sunday roasts are better earlier in the day. I have been here twice for a Sunday roast. The first time was nearer lunch time and the beef was lovely and pink and soft, this time it was at 6.30pm and the meat was brown and a bit drier. All the trimmings were delicious and I highly recommend (just make sure you go at lunch time).

We had an amazing Sunday roast! Which was at a really reasonable price, amazing Yorkshire pudding. Lovely little pub, nice casual atmosphere, really good service. I'll definitely be going back and recommending it to friends. Only tiiiiiny thing...the football was on so men were being a little noisy in the bar area!

We booked in for my mum's birthday, looking for something local and relaxed but high quality. The food was generally really good, the prawn and chorizo pasta was absolutely delicious, the only negative remarks I would make is that the roast pork I had was more like a belly of pork and didn't have any crispy crackling like i've had before, it was all moist and soft. The yorkshire puddings keep me coming back though and I love that they're not stingy with the gravy, bringing two more jugs when I asked for some more. The ice cream and sorbets were also very good. I like the atmosphere in the pub although we were sat very close to the bar and there was a football match on which meant that it was quite difficult to hear each other. The service is friendly and prompt, over all I would definitely come back, more in the winter for the roasts.
