The Park

Great pub, very friendly staff and management, and they don’t take any nonsense or suffer fools gladly. Reasonably priced for the for the area, not a bad menu either. Great fun during the quiz, which itself can be a bit wacky. The big beardy guy who runs it is rather a blast. All in all, a very good pub, FIVE stars from me :)

Excellent local pub in the neighborhood

This is my local. Good beers, massive helpings of tasty, reasonably-​priced food, lovely atmosphere, nice décor. Everything you could ask for in a pub, really.

Nice décor, nice location, independantly owned by a couple of realy nice guys, do some great beer.
reccomended

I have some friends who live near this hidden gem of a pub. It has recently (just before Christmas) been taken over by new owners who have transformed it from a shabby (and slightly dodgy) establishment into a beautiful, modern and friendly family pub. Even dogs are allowed!
The décor is comfortable and fabulous, the food is good value and very tasty (they do a range of superb pizzas and tapas or mezze-​style snacks). The owners and staff are extremely friendly and go out of their way to be polite and ensure you have a good time. They also have a great selection of drinks with some lovely wines, again, all reasonably-​priced.
The best thing about this place, though, is the fact it feels like a comfortable living room at a mate’s house. They have plenty of sofas, a log fire and a pile of board games to complete the vibe. It gets fairly busy on weekends, but nothing like the crowded, noisy inner city pubs. Perfect for whiling away a Sunday afternoon with some friends.
They have just opened an outside terrace too, which is lovely, and they have a room that can be hired out for events.
It is such a good find and so unspoilt by overcrowding that I am almost reluctant to share the info with anyone. But, seriously, if you find yourself in the Dulwich/​Crystal Palace/​Herne Hill area of town, head on over. You will not be disappointed.
