Lovely pub with a restaurant at the back, on the corner of a residential street, off the beaten track of Lordship Lane. They do a really good value mid-week set meal, but I ordered from the pizza menu and it was excellent. Attentive service. Great value. We would go again.

£20 for a roast with no stuffing and a bit dry. Kids on the next table literally running around screaming and smashing each other over the head and staff did nothing. Maybe I'm getting old. Great staff and lovely venue but bit off the mark...

Great food - which arrived piping hot! Our pre-booked table was not quite ready when we arrived which was a shame, but was quickly remedied.

Roast Beef was excellent! Table set ups were a bit all over the place, but it’s a pub, so fair enough. Mulled wine was also terrific!

Our Sunday roasts were not great. Mine was cold, another was a meager portion. The third was okay.
