Grand Opening of THE FLYING PIG, Goose Green,

Perfect summary eliz

We went on Sunday for lunch. Took 40-50 mins for our burgers to arrive, with one of them arriving about 10 mins after the other two. It wasn't really that busy, and the lady who sad down and ordered about 15 mins after us got her burger first. Being polite Brits we didn't start to eat until the final burger arrived, so two out of 3 burgers were cold. Having read forum reviews we noted chip portions - still a bit on the small side, I had 8. they were nice chips though.

don't think we'll go back - atmosphere wasn't that great, it was cold by the door and the food wasn't amazing.

We had lovely burgers here this afternoon, the Classic and the Spicy Pig.

Great chips and garlic mayonnaise too.

Friendly service, food came quite quickly, good well kept beer, reasonable prices and a nice vibe.

We'll definitely be back.

Visited the other evening. Summary: Chip portion size still too small. Bbq ribs just a little better than a fried chicken shops ribs. Brisket very small. Service polite but a tad slow. Food prices much too high for quality/portions size. Hope the chef covers his beard when in kitchen. I won't be visiting venue on a regular basis.

The Flying Pig describes itself as "Craft Beer Pub & BBQ", so I wouldn't judge it solely on their food. In fact, I wouldn't judge it on their food at all - had a fine Sunday afternoon in there trying a few different beers, all of which were well-kept and tasty. Friendly and laid-back atmosphere. I like it.

The burger I had on Sunday was enormous. I could scarcely eat it all, and I was very hungry :)

It was also by far the best burger I have had round here.

Agreed, I see it as a very good craft beer pub with some decent food on the side rather than the other way around. Maybe get the local Clarkshaws in?...

They do Shark Attack and that's good enough for me. The amount of bacon in the burger has gone down each time, but the chips are getting better...

Went in last Thursday and they were having a bit of a nightmare. It was very busy (a good sign) but they were horribly understaffed. Then, when the bar was at it's busiest their tills all crashed and were down for about 15 minutes, meaning they weren't able to serve or give change to those waiting for it.

I ate there for the first time and was a bit disappointed. I had babyback ribs- the sauce tasted burnt. I appreciate it's bbq food, but this wasn't good burnt, and the chips were dreadful. Dry to the point of crumbling in my hand. I would have taken them back but the staff were under too much pressure already. The other half's pulled pork was good though- perhaps the best i've had.

On that note- has anyone seen any pork recently that hasn't been 'pulled'?

I went here for the first time last time last night and really enjoyed the food. There was a great selection of beers too, the bar staff were very friendly and we had good banter. I will probably be there on Sunday too now !!!!

Hi Mark,

Your beers, venue and food are top notch.

Do you ever have any of Peckham's own Brick Brewery beers on tap?

Thanks,

Coral

Probably the best pub in the area in my opinion! Staff seem to know there beers to.
