The 30 Best Traditional pubs in Welling

“Best place for a curry - by a country mile! We have never had a meal that we didn't find exceptional, there are good reasons why this place has won so many awards and enjoys michelin star status, the staff are excellent and the menu choices and quality match that level and then some. The chefs recommendations part of the Menu never fails to meet high standards and there ars plenty of other options throughout the menu too.”

“Krishna took great care of us, explained the menu, when needed. Delicious food in a great atmosphere, quite pub like with the football on (Arsenal v Bournemouth!) but sound down, so definitely not intrusive. Would recommend.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Had a fantastic experience with Anna @milky.onion ! Tattoo was a coverup/ rework of a previous tattoo and she came up with a design that was absolutely perfect! Anna spent time making sure I was happy with placement and was so lovely throughout the process! I am so happy with my new tattoo and will definitely be going back to Anna for more!! The studio itself was super clean with the team member at reception being very nice and welcoming! Would definitely recommend Anna & the studio!”

“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.”

“Stopped for a pint stayed for many. The beer was fresh and amazing and it’s impossible not to start chatting with people. A very pleasant afternoon”

“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!!”

“Windows clean very clean environment excellent service very well cooked fish and chips will be going back for more a friendly place thank you just had another great meal from Barnet Fish bar.”

“Always superb food and excellent service at this restaurant. I have been using this restaurant for 20 years and have never had a bad meal.”

“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!”

“Great Guinness and atmosphere, especially on a Friday! The karaoke hosts are lovely, as are all the staff”

“Proper pub. Good atmosphere. Dog friendly. Family oriented. Kids happy. Terry and Carol are great. We were/are welcome! I want a greyhound 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. ❤️❤️❤️”

“I really liked this local Turkish restaurant. Food was standard Turkish but well done. Pricing was fair. Service excellent. The reason for the 4 stars for the atmosphere was the noise level. It might just be my bad hearing, but I struggled with the conversation. I recommend this place.”

“Absolutely fantastic experience! This restaurant serves Greek food — the meze was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding, and every member of staff was so friendly and welcoming especially the waitress elena who was kind and lovely .It’s rare to find a place that gets everything right, but this one truly does. Can’t wait to come back! Stavros the chef never disappoints”

“We had a private dinner upstairs for a group of alumni. Food was amazing, sommelier made great recommendations for wine, and the servers were so friendly. Great spot for private dining.”

“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!”

“Leo is hands down the best bartender I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. From the moment you walk in, he makes you feel like the most important person in the room. His charisma, professionalism, and genuine passion for mixology shine through in every cocktail he crafts. Leo has an incredible memory for faces and drink preferences—he’ll remember your favorite from weeks ago and somehow make it taste even better the next time. His recommendations are always spot-on, and he can whip up something unique and delicious even if you don’t know what you want. Beyond his skill, Leo creates an atmosphere of warmth and connection that turns an ordinary night out into something special. Whether you’re celebrating or unwinding, Leo’s service, charm, and talent make every visit unforgettable. Simply put, he’s the heart of the bar—an absolute legend behind the counter.”

“Very happy to see this place reopening its doors. Went with wife and kid for a few quick ones over the weekend and really liked the new decor and atmosphere. Staff was welcoming and very polite, and selection of drinks was wide too. Looking forward to getting back soon, and support this great local pub.”

“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!!”

“Wedding venue We got married at the Bingham Riverhouse in Richmond on the 18th of October and couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day. We chose the winter wedding package, and everything from start to finish was beautifully organised. Laure was absolutely wonderful – calm, patient, and so responsive throughout the whole planning process. She explained everything clearly, gave fantastic advice, and it was lovely to have her there on the day with her calm, kind and reassuring manner. The venue looked stunning, with the room very professionally set up and the riverside location providing a beautiful backdrop. The food was exceptional – so many of our guests commented on how delicious it was and how smoothly the whole day ran. The fire pit, hot chocolate, and mulled wine were the perfect added touches for an autumn wedding. A huge thank you to Laure, Sherry, and the entire team at the Bingham Riverhouse for making our wedding day so special. Everything was flawless, and we’ll remember the day for years to come. Sara and Simon Galea”

“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.”
