We’re Italians and this is one of the best pubs we’ve tried in England. Warm atmosphere, friendly staff, great beer, and delicious traditional food. Everything was fresh, well-served, and full of flavour. A place we’d happily return to — highly recommended!
Brilliant pub. Came for the roast after hearing it was good and was not disappointed! Friendly staff and good beer too. Will be back!
This pub is in Kennington. Our pubs in Paddington seemed stuffy and pricey. This was our first experience in a British pub and feared breaking decorum. Nick was so warm and accommodating. His staff professional and friendly. It's like we were old friends. The portions were large and simply delicious. It was 48th anniversary and he recognized it. We will tell our children and grandchildren to come here.
Went there for a Sunday roast to catch up with friends. The four of us got to each try out one of the roast options and they were all very good and for good/fair prices. They also have a little quiet outdoors area under the trees which make for a great Sunday lunch spot! Ps: Personal favorite would be the half chicken.
Popped in for a Sunday roast and was very impressed! Staff really friendly and welcoming, and a good range of beers. Sitting by the window with the rain pouring down was cosy. I had roast pork belly which was a generous portion, tender and well seasoned. Really tasty gravy, and we were offered extra part way through demolishing our meals. A real contender for best roast locally alongside the Prince of Wales - I’ll certainly be back.
To start off, the mock Tudor look is fantastic, it adds to the relaxed friendly atmosphere inside. We sat down & was immediately greeted by the staff. We said we were eating & were given a bottle of water for the table & informed of what had sold out to avoid disappointment. I went to the bar to order the vegan chicken burger & the cheese/brisket beef burger (I added bacon as an option). I enquired about non/low alcohol drinks & was offered to try a sample of the 0.3% beer (Free star maybe?), Suffice to say we ordered 2 pints as it was very nice. Without asking, we were provided with ketchup/mayo & vegan mayo which was a nice touch, the food came in around 10-15mins (which felt about 5 mins as it is so relaxing). To start, the chips come lightly salted & are very nice. The vegan burger was tasty with a grilled bun. The brisket burger was fantastic, the brisket has gravy on it which took the burger to another level. The only disappointment we had was that the vegan brownies had sold out which on a positive note gives us an excuse to return. If I lived closer, without question this would be our local. Highly recommend.
One of my favorite pubs in Kennington. The place I’d always return to whenever I’m in the area. It has a vintage vibe with mismatched furniture pieces and a tiny garden at the back, plus very decent food and drinks.
We came here for Sunday lunch with the family in the summer, and the roast dinner was out of this world. However today (Feb 22) it wasn't that bad, definitely not to the taste of last time. We will be back again as we know what they can do. Maybe just a one off bad day.
