Summary

Camberwell’s gentrification continues apace with this revamped, classic neighbourhood boozer – brought back to life after being closed for six years. The tucked-away dining area showcases the talents of chef Joe Sharratt, formerly of Brixton hotspot Naughty Piglets, and seating possibilities include a counter next to the kitchen. No survey feedback as yet, but in his April 2024 review, The Evening Standard’s Jimi Famurewa thought that – while some dishes “did not work” – other small plates were “thrilling”.

For 34 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).
