Agreed. Best I've had round here.


Well worth the walk!


ETA: It's a lovely old pub too, right on the green, though very very busy on Sundays because of the roasts, I think you may have to book.

We love Sunday Roasts at the great exhibition.

Here is our menu this week, the mains change each week

We serve a Yorkshire pudding with every roast and unlimited veg and gravy. If you run out, simply ask for more... Just like at home!


To top it off we have Sunday papers for you to help yourself to

And live vintage jazz every week between 2-4pm

The band are always different so expect anything from New Orleans, count Basie, Django Reindhart, Duke Ellington and more


Also, we serve our roasts all the way through to 8pm meaning if you have a busy Sunday afternoon, you don't have to miss out on a good family roast.

Well we tried The Patch. Nice food but not as good as The Crooked Well, Palmerston or Franklin's and more expensive than all of them. Wish them well but feel they should be providing something more special as a roast for ?16.50. And ?3.50 for 3 small rolls? That's daft. Atmosphere and decor a bit soulless too - they could do with someone coming in with an eye for design.
I am a big fan of the Crooked Well, and a regular since day one, and think the Patch has been really great so far, and have a long relationship with the Nuns Head on a Sunday, but for overall points from music to service, to excellent roasts and general feel, having taken babies, friends, parents and distant relatives, I'd give it to the Great Exhibition, hands down.

Don't go Allaynes head on a Sunday the ALWAYS run out of the good meat.


You should try the curry buffet on Sunday - It's ?10 including a large drink and you can eat as much yummy curry as you want!


There are about 3/4 curry houses on Lordship Lane that does it on a Sunday and there open til late!


IF you dont fancy a roast


However the Commercial in Herne Hill do a wicked roast and there is a market outside as well which is nice to walk round while you?re there.

No ED but I had a very nice roast at the Sylvain Post in Forest Hill yesterday...?12 for beef or belly pork and a tad cheaper for beer marinated chicken. They also had a veggie option but my veggie friend was given a meat free regular roast for a fiver. I'd book in future though, the vintage school table in the backroom was quirky but fairly uncomfortable!

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
