Best Family Frendly Sunday Lunch Pub in East Dulwich?


Recommended Posts

The Herne Tavern. No smoking, children's playground, lots of other kids there to abuse ;-)


The Vale, for all its sins, is very tolerant with kids, as is the Crown and Greyhound in the Village which has an outside space, but I don't recall a playground.

The Palmerston is always full of children on a Sunday. Never tasted the roast (I've never made it past the front door on a sunday before feeling the need to eat somewhere else - my hungover, smoke riddled style doesn't sit well with family diners), but I have heard that it is good, and cheaper than their usual faer.

Toss up between the Herne Tavern & Crown and Greyhound (though technically the latter's disqualified as it's not in ED)


Thinking ahead to the summer I think the Herne's going to be doing a roaring trade. Playground and "Teletubby" landscaped garden for the kids, gastronosh for mum and dad.


The Dog is ever popular with families. Plenty of seats outside in garden where you can witness little darlings making mudpies out of mineral water at two quid a glass. No playground but they do have a stock of giant sized board games.


If I had to chose I'd go for the Herne, it's got the edge foodwise and the garden in The Dog's looking a bit tatty nowadays.

If the Dog and the White Horse are allowed in - how about the Rye Hotel? Can get v smokey indoors, but think there is a family friendly bit out the back. Competition for tables can get quite intense and waiting times for food gets quite long as a result (but they are always honest up front about this). Food is excellent - always worth waiting for.
The Star used to be one the best value-for-money eateries in South-East London - but I don't think it opens on Sundays any more and I have not been since they tarted it up (ie. put in a counter and a big pladstic menu, bolt-down furniture, sacked the waitrsses etc)

The rye hotel is great for sunday lunch, no smoking bar area and loads of space.


Avoid the Bellenden Brasserie, ate there last week, ordered burger having checked it was homemade, yes was the reply, it wasnt! frozen bad quality burger with a slice of processed plastic cheese, microwaved chips all bad!!


6 people all refused to eat food, they offered a return visit for free, i think not!!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
