Is due to reopen having been refurbished any time soon. To me it looks really nice and the manager, Nathalie showed me a "draft" copy of the menu which looked really nice and not unreasonably priced. Of course there will be moans of "another spit-and-sawdust old man's pub has disppeared" but I don't care!


Opening delayed because the chef had some personal issues and had to go home (I think she said to another country). But she said it should be open this week sometime.

I stand to be corrected, but was the Wishing Well featured in the film "Last Orders" with Michael Caine, Helen Mirren, and Bob Hoskins ? (film royalty in more ways than one)


I go past the Montpelier daily and am really hoping that it will be a friendly, good food pub - will prob have the same teething trouble as The Plough, but nothing a hike in prices (albeit unfortunate) and see-through windows can't fix

Tillie - you can induce a "madeleine moment" by having someone waft a pint of beer shandy and a players no6 under your nose; it'll all come flooding back. This happens to me involuntarily every time i walk past a scottish working men's clubhouse bar.

Its about time they did something with that pub, it has so much potential. Apart from food, they could get involved with the comedy circuit, put on live music, the place is a goldmine with the right imagination/intelligence running it. Its time Peckham started going a bit upmarket. We've got the Gowlett and the Rye (which thinks its in the West End the prices it charges). Great, please keep me informed about the Mont.
Hoorah! It's great - lovely staff, good selection of wine (and beers), a menu that's unpretentious but well-executed - and very reasonably priced. My fish cakes were excellent (served on wilted spinach in a lovely sauce and a perfect poached egg on top); while the chips I stole from hubby's plate (to accompany an excellent burger) were really good. The bill came to less than fifteen pounds for the two of us. Will return ... My only fear is that it is too close to home!

I popped along for a spot of Sunday lunch and found the place very much a work-in-progress. Drilling still ongoing, sound systems being put in etc


Plus I was the only one there for best part of an hour


All that said, some others arrived, I ordered my food which was lovely. The bar staff were really sweet and friendly. The space is really very nice with a great wooden floor. The toilets, however, have yet to be refurbed


Price for a San Miguel was ?3.20 - the roast dinner came in at under a tenner and was a very nice piece of beef with fine veg and proper Yorkshire pud


So even tho it's a bit out of my way there are enough reasons to be around Bellenden from time to time to make this worth another visit

Went after the cinema yesterday, and was impressed. Nice atmosphere, lovely stripped floorboards and chocolate brown everywhere. I had the burger, my wife had the fishcakes (B.B - snap..)


Wine list good as well, candles made it cozy and staff welcoming


Popped in for a guiness this evening as well - lots of people "checking" it out.


Good stuff

    • Another glowing recommendation for Keith. We’re incredibly grateful to EDF for helping us find Keith - I had lots of other quotes from companies who were upselling the work we needed, whereas Keith was very friendly, honest, knowledgeable and competitively priced.  He was incredibly communicative through the whole job and carefully thought through his approach. He did lime mortar repointing along with some brick and masonry repairs, and did everything to a very high standard. We could absolutely trust his advice. He’s lovely to chat to and very respectful of neighbours, clearly communicating when there would be noise or mess. He organised the scaffolding company who were also excellent (Reliable Scaffolding). They worked around limited parking and were prompt to take down the scaffolding once the work was finished. The scaffolding was also much cheaper than other quotes.  Couldn’t recommend Keith enough and we already have him booked in to do another job for us. 
    • If you mean the joinery firm that made windows and doors, it closed down several years ago and a private house was built on the site.
    • I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.
    • Yes, they sound excellent.
