The Latchmere is a nice and warming place, where you can eat good food. There's kids place and wi-fi. But the most important is that you can eat cheaper with quality! For me, as a new costumer it was a really nice surprise.

Loved the atmosphere, the vibe and the food. the roast beef was the tiniest bit tough, but the rest was amazing! Especially the Yorkshire puddings.

I love this pub, we went for a 50% meal in January but we often go and pay full price - it is well priced with a great atmosphere and service.

We enjoyed our Sunday roast today. Well cooked, all the trimmings, a generous serving of beef. Good value for money and nice food. And last but not least, the service was rather quick for a Sunday lunch, and very kind. A good experience then. We shall come back.

Such a great pub, staff catered brilliantly for the four of us, two prams and a dog. Service was kind and attentive, and the food was really tasty. This place is becoming quite a regular.

Delicious food - we had two roasts & a burger. Everything was well cooked & the veg accompanying the roast was slightly different ie peas & beetroot on top of usual carrots/parsnips/cauliflower combo. Great service too 😊

Nice food and very good value with the 50 per cent off food promotion. The only downside was that it was fairly noisy so it was difficult to hear each other in a larger group.

Very welcoming staff, we had Sunday lunch with 3 children, the children's meal size was perfect and they loved the idea of decorating their own cupcakes. My friend had the roast beef, the Yorkshire pudding is certainly the show stopper!!! Beef was delicious and tender, I had the Sea Bass which was cooked to perfection, presentation was spot on, just the right amount leaving a small enough space for dessert which was also delicious and just big enough. Our waitress was outstanding and shame on us for not getting her name, but she catered to our every need with a smile on her face and always a pleasant word, even interacting with the children too. We have both said we are definitely coming back but without the children.

Food very good, there were seven of us and we had different starters, and they all arrived at the same time and cooked perfectly, which I thought is sign of good kitchen. Service also excellent, all the waiting staff were polite and on the ball.

Lovely lunchtime menu. Delicious good. Fantastic service. We used a 50% discount voucher - August 2015. The food, service etc was not compromised in any way with the voucher. Fantastic value! Well done The Latchmere

The food was good, but there was a long wait between the starter and the main. The acoustics in the pub aren't great so when it's busy it makes it quite difficult to hear what people are saying and you almost have to shout, even when you're sat right opposite each other.

Clean, friendly pub. Great atmosphere, soft music, fast service. I would give 8/10 for dinner and 10/10 for pudding. My sticky toffee was to die for! Not the cheapest eat around but would go again.

I live in Dulwich, but often make the journey to The Latchmere to have Sunday lunch with a friend who lives nearby. I'm bound to say, however, that I would not take the trouble to travel to this pub if the friend were to move elsewhere. On a positive note, the renovation of the premises by the Renaissance Pubs chain seems to work well, combining the modern conveniences we expect whilst retaining some of the Victorian charm. The staff always seem friendly. However, my main criticism of The Latchmere is price. Both food a and drinks are simply not good value for money. Gastro pub prices without the 'gastro'. Although food is clearly central to the offering here, it is still very firmly a pub, rather than a restaurant. The menu changes very little and, as far as Sunday roasts are concerned, the formula is identical from week to week, the food always presented in exactly the same way with the same vegetables cooked in the same way and same quantities. Of course, the unvarying menu would suit some people very well; however, if, like me, you like variety, even in something as formulaic as "Sunday Lunch", this menu is not for you. Wine in pubs has moved on a lot in recent years and, as you would expect of a pub which places an emphasis on food, the wine list here is reasonable. However, like the food, it is pretty formuaic and overpriced. Beers include the usual bar-top kegs and a disappointingly narrow range of real ales which, you've guessed it, don't change that much. Food appears to be cooked freshly, wine and beer are kept well; but you won't discover anything new here. And, in my opinion, that is where price is critical. If I spend a £40-50 per head on a meal for two with wine, I expect more. Variety; old favourites with a twist; new dishes; new wines & ales; wines from familiar places using different varieties... The possibilities are endless and most of them are ignored here. The bottom line? If pay gastro prices I expect 'gastro'. If money is no object for you and you don't like surprises, The Latchmere could become your regular. If, like me, you like a good-value changing menu / wine list / beer selection, then there may well be other pubs that'll suit you better.

For a very quick drink and light snack before the theatre the Latchmere was very good. Did not have time to test the menu but it looked interesting and our snack was good. Some good beer,

Really nice food. Excellent service. We had the pre-theatre menu which was reasonable. It was a friday night and by the end of the evening (after the play), the crowd seemed rowdy and bar tenders extremely agitated.

Good good and vibe. Pity all bar one tap beers were down on the day which wasn't their fault as these things happen. But staff could be slightly more attentive when settling up. Would still go again.

I am a regular at The Latchmere and normally spend £40-£50 on food and drink every Sunday. On this occasion, the pub was packed and staff looked run off their feet. I had a small table which unfortunately was next to a large group of young people who were behaving obnoxiously; they had their feet on the chairs and other seating and were throwing food and sweets around. One of them was aggressive toward me for no reason and asked me if "I had a boyfriend" at one point. I felt pretty uncomfortable and ate my food and left. As soon as I got up the group took the table and seating that had been set aside for me. As a regular who normally has a good experience every week I am still upset at what happened. In my opinion, The Latchmere is a poorer place when people like that are allowed in and to behave with such boorishness unchecked.

The restaurant was busy so service was a bit lax in places (waiting for initial service, drinks and producing the bill). Food was great though and everything was clean considering the amount of people there.

We're really happy with the new Latchmere! We've been twice (so far) since the re-furb / new ownership and both times have been a great experience - good service, amazing food and booze...what more could you want out of your local?! :) We'll be back again!
