“One of the very finest gastropubs in South London”, this handsome Camberwell tavern is a “really solid and enjoyable local”, and is run by landlord Hector Skinner, who set it up with three pals a dozen years ago. “If it was in Clapham it would be very famous and utterly heaving”. Top Menu Tip – “the sharing roast chicken and the rabbit pie are the best mains”.

With its jazzy decor, this handsome-looking Camberwell gastropub with large outside seating area is worth discovering – “a gem in the very truest sense”, with a high-quality menu (which typically includes a “fantastic pie option”).

“A great Camberwell local” fitted out with wittier design than you find in your typical greige gastropub; and which “fits the bill for posh pub food... not to mention its cool bar for some pre-dinner gin cocktails”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
