Charming pubs in Welling

“We visited 2 times for 3 days - really liked the local beer, the food and the atmosphere. The bartender who was also a waiter was very nice so we totally recommend the place!”

“The Wishing Well is a local pub in the heart of Church Lane Kingsbury. It is reasonably priced and has a very friendly atmosphere the staff are very helpful and efficient and friendly.”

“Lovely traditional pub in the heart of beautiful Hampstead. We didn't eat but came here for a drink after a lovely afternoon walk on the Heath. Standard selection of beers and wines and friendly service. Definitely be back...and for food next time round”

“We had our Civil ceremony reception here and what a great team with Matt and the other amazing staff. The food was spectacular and my family loved to spend our special day with you at The Grange. You made our special day even more special!”

“2nd year on the bounce we organised a large Christmas dinner with over 20 close friends (including children) and they accommodated us so well. Nicole, Maddy and Izzie made us feel welcome from when we arrived, before this though, the communication with the team were very attentive and the food options and quality did not disappoint, we'll be booking our 3rd Christmas event here next year too.”

“I booked the private room upstairs for my 30th birthday and had an amazing time. For starters the minimum spend was so reasonable compared to other pubs in London, making it far more affordable. The pub were super accommodating of all my requests in the lead up the event. The Head Chef Franc was amazing at helping me create a suitable menu for my guests and helped with lots of my back and forth emailing. Finally the staff were amazing on the day, so accommodating and made my day super special! Everyone still components the food- which was top quality! Would highly recommend for a private event.”

“What a lovely experience. Pub was a little quiet but early Monday so probably expected. Staff friendly and good choice of beers. Am going to go back later in the week as they do Thai food which looks great so will review. Definitely a good again place for me!”

“Hard to imagine what the community of Falconwood would do without this cheery little boozer. Friendly staff, good drinks, and a fantastic pub quiz every month. They make the most of the space they have with a buzzing front room, bright and airy back room, and a covered front for summer days.”

“I can just say- not easy to found a good Italian restaurant as this is! All the staff is friendly and service is outstanding! Food is original and flavours are wow! Rich portion and a good selection of wine too! I felt at home!! The place is quiet lovely with a canal and park view!! couldn't ask for more. 110/100!!! Complimenti chef Giuseppe and Mysha!!”

“Amazing❤️ Delightful Experience! I had the pleasure of dining at this Georgian restaurant last night, and it was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was impeccable. I started with khachapuri (cheese-filled bread), and it was delicious—perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. To top it off, the wine selection was fantastic, especially the local Georgian wines. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to experience authentic Georgian cuisine!”

“Arguably the best pub in Putney. Independently owned pub with a constantly rotating selection of great beers and ales, friendly service, and board games available which is always nice! There is a small beer garden if you are a smoker, but I wouldn’t bank on getting a seat. Also, staff are always friendly and helpful in recommending a good drink!”

“My colleagues and I come to the Rose and Crown in Tooting nearly every week, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, and the staff are genuinely lovely, friendly, kind, and always happy to help. Their pizzas are absolutely delicious (we’ve tried most of them by now!), and the wine and cocktail selection is top-notch. The garden out back is such a nice bonus. It’s become our regular spot for a reason, highly recommend!”

“Best Thai food in the area and great atmosphere of a local pub! Kitty was the best with food and drinks recommendations!”

“Great pub and fantastic vibe! The staff is really nice. A drink there is well worthy”

“Great staff, great location and great food. I’ve been a regular here for years and it’s always the place I recommend to friends/family when in the area or if I want a nice chilled day with friends. Cannot recommend their breakfasts enough. Great for veggie options too! Staff are always so lovely, never rush you and the business like to support local artists and caterers too!”

“Been meaning to leave a review for a very long time, however managed to forget..probably due to the fantastic friendly service we always receive from the team. We are always welcomed with open arms and the team bend over backwards to accommodate us. I must shout out the whole team… they’re all amazing… however, Becks has served us since we first started coming here, since moving in locally, before Jason the Head Chef joined, she was the main reason for our return. Jason joined, the food has been out of this world… I would recommend the roasts - they’re delicious! The beef is served pink and the vegetables are cooked perfectly and well seasoned. It’s always a pleasure coming to visit The Black Horse and we cannot recommend it enough. Final shout out to Becks, Jason… our favourites… and of course Harry, Layla, Ben, Jess, Jack and Ollie. ❤️❤️❤️”

“Lovely traditional pub with rooms upstairs. Bed comfy, and relatively quiet given the location. Very handy for Thorpe park. Friendly staff at the bar and great ale selection. Will definitely stay again when back in the area”

“Came across this lovely pub so clean. Ronnie the barmaid was very helpful and friendly. Lovely outside area and atmosphere. Even the toilets were very clean and nice. Would definitely recommend this pub. Definitely a return visit, Good selection of music in the beer garden & good people, Keep it up !!! Thank you Rachel & Ben”

“This is a cosy and welcoming pub with a lovely lit fireplace, which was great, especially coming into the dark nights! The food was SUPERB with very friendly, attentive staff. There was an Irish Folk group on and the whole atmosphere was electric. They have other things on different nights, so we will definitely be returning to this gem of a pub.”

“Stumbled across this wonderful place whilst on our way to a different gastropub. Glad we ended up here instead! We went for a Sunday roast with the Haddock and chips which was well made and good value. Atmosphere was cosy, though it was fully booked on Sunday we sat in the back garden which had heaters above each table. Only criticism is that we were asked to move to a different table due to a group booking midway through our meal. But otherwise everything else was fantastic!”

“What a transformation! Not been inside for many years although it should be our 'local'. Went in to have a drink and look round, stayed for lunch and another drink. Staff friendly and welcoming. Range of drinks is good and food excellent. Will certainly be going back”

“Had a space reserved for a special birthday. The service was excellent and the staff were just as attentive. Because of the very very hot day we made the most of the garden and all had an amazing time. Thank you all for making the day special. Would recommend for all occasions!!”

“This was my third visit to The Kings Head in Sevenoaks within just a couple of months, and there’s a very good reason I keep coming back. I travel all the way from Farnham, which is a 50-mile trip, but it’s absolutely worth it every time. I’d probably go further if they asked nicely. The pub has everything you’d hope for from a proper village pub. The building is beautifully traditional, full of character, and in the summer the garden is a genuinely lovely place to sit and unwind. The staff are consistently excellent, friendly, attentive, and clearly take pride in making people feel right at home. There’s also a solid selection of real ales and lagers, which never disappoints. My first visit was at the tail end of summer, when I sat in the garden for lunch and was instantly taken with the place. A couple of weeks later I returned for an evening meal and was so impressed that I decided to relocate our annual family remembrance gathering here. We came as a group of 11 for lunch on Saturday 15th November, and even though the pub was very busy, the service was faultless. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and had a great sense of humour, which is essential when dealing with our lively family. The team here didn’t flinch. Even though the pub was busy, service stayed top-notch and dishes arrived far quicker than I expected. Miracles do happen. All the dishes we ordered arrived promptly, and every one of us commented on the generous portion sizes (a rarity these days!) and the superb quality. Everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavour. I had the cod stew with chorizo and crispy kale, which was an absolute standout — beautifully balanced and bursting with flavour, like a little firework display in a bowl. I followed it with an apple crumble and custard, which met the approval of even our most serious crumble connoisseurs. And, to top it all off, the bill was a very pleasant surprise. It’s refreshing to enjoy food and service of this standard without feeling like you’ve been mugged on the way out. The Kings Head is a place I genuinely love. Traditional, welcoming, great food, great staff, and great value. I’ll happily keep making the 50-mile journey, it’s become a firm favourite of mine.”

“Lovely little village pub on outskirts of Epping Forest. Very friendly service, nice atmosphere, Good food, we had two ploughman’s with cheddar, blue cheese and ham which were nice and fresh, two pints of Moretti all for £37 which we thought very reasonable. Good parking, plenty outside seating.”

“The Nepalese food is outstanding! Prepared fresh to order and bursting with amazing flavours. I don't tend to leave reviews unless I am very, very impressed. This place definitely deserves one. Every dish had unique flavours/spices and we ate up every bit.”

“The lovely pub hosted our daughter's 40th Birthday party in the side room off the main bar. We were able to decorate the room and also to have a local guitarist entertain us together with a fab face painter. Our party was able to order yummy food and drinks from the bar. I can't thank Nick and his super staff more. Highly recommend this great pub..”

“Great atmosphere.sooo cosy with real wood burner.wonderful friendly staff.. reasonable price.for food and drink .. recommend!!!”

“Quality service, everything was clean, the temperature of the food was great. The staff was lovely and very attentive. Aaliyah, Kat and Nicola were a delight.”

“I popped into The White Hart in Crystal Palace and was blown away by their Sunday roast. The food was delicious, portions were generous, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Anastasiia looked after us and made the experience even better — so attentive and friendly. Definitely one of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in London!”

“It's not often you walk into a pub you are not familiar with and feel welcome, there's a real family vibe, very friendly atmosphere. Enjoyed a garden BBQ, hosted by the manager who didn't set any prices just asked for donations to support the pub. I felt this was a great indicator of things to come for this place and I'm looking forward to returning when I'm in the area again.”
