?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.

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.

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.
