?7? Really? By saying you were charged that, did you not look at the wine list? Just asking as you sound surprised. The Prosecco was ?5 from memory which is just about what we've paid elsewhere in ED. We have the 175mls glasses of wine and they definitely weren't ?7 but around the ?5 something (though they did have cheaper & more expensive ones) which again is comparable to anywhere else - and they had a much larger variety & choice.

> ?4.75 for a Greenwich Meantime Ale. Enough said.


Not saying it's good value, but these days everywhere seems to charge ?4 for bog stanard Heineken/Amstel. So I'd rather pay ?4.75 for something that tastes decent.

saw the outside of this coming together nicely over jan and feb, looked great from the outside ... but inside what a lost opportunity. looks like a lof of money and effort spent but slightly misguided interior design... what market was this aimed at (we are interior designers / architect) in particular as others have pointed out, the sky-lit rear area, which feels like a motorway services eating area. the front of the pub / bar area looked better, but there wasn't space to sit and enjoy that. food and drink = pricey, i'll give it another chance this summer, but with all the promise of the exterior restoration (lovely - + great logo!) it's going to be a while before anyone finds the time / money to rectify the mistakes inside. oh well. lost opportunity big time, for such a great location.

Just taken my Canadian visitor there and we were both shocked to the price of a local beer (Greenwich larger). Surely because it's a local ale it should be cheaper than other largers!


I prefer the old lay out (first time since refurb) seems very closterfobic in the back . Before we could sit where we wanted, tonight we were funnelled to the front! As a visitor, he thought the Forest hill tavern was much better than the Clock house (interesting).

Hello, we be had two meals there and both times thought the food was good and the service by the young waitress excellent. The second time was for Sunday lunch and we took our dog so sat in the front area, the waitress although rushed still found time to bring a water bowl over which was thoughtful.

A change for the worse in my opinion. I've been twice now and disappointed both times, not only with the food (half the menu not available at lunchtime!), but the prices and the rude staff.


Shame really as we loved it before and it has potential to do well with such a great location near the park.

    • That’s interesting, Dulwich Dweller; my 70 yr old neighbour told me 2 weeks ago that he’d left work early to go and book in person (being uncomfortable with all the online & app stuff) and was explicitly told that he needed to go away and book online. He’s not the sort of person to be insistent and, like a lot of older people, a bit embarrassed at his lack of digital ability, so he left without the appointment . This is my point about inconsistency, since his experience was quite different from yours. I’m beginning think that it rather depends on who, at Reception, you speak to on day…
    • Wow, never had a disappointing meal there since they opened.. guess like every establishment, depends on the chef.. All for allowing an off day - good of you to post.. much better than chains - had awful service at Gail’s for eg..be it cake and tea or a meal.. They are so nice and accommodating..       
    • "I tried Viet Flavour and was disappointed.  Their summer rolls especially were not at all good, stodgy and flavourless.  Pho-OK.  I'm hoping it will get better " Back in June I posted as above.  I am glad to report that either the first time I went the restaurant was having an off day, or they have upped their game.  I ordered the same things.  The summer roll was exactly as it should be, and had a lovely dipping sauce. The Pho was delicious.  My brother who was with me wanted to give it 10/10 but I always think you should leave room for improvement so gave it 9/10.  Staff were lovely.  I am so glad because I love Vietnamese food and now think I have a very good one just round the corner.  
    • So do I, and I started it!!!  I have changed title.
