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!

    • Dulwich leisure centre? Zumba or Pilates there? I go to Zumba at forest Hill Pools... Pay as you go membership and its very inclusive all ages shapes and sizes. Ditto I find the leisure centre the same..I'm mid 60's by the way. I prefer gyms to schools..the rooms they do the classes in are custom built.  
    • Well, this is sad news.  Hopefully it won't go down the same path as The Palmerston when it changed hands.  That is from great to dismal, literally overnight.
    • And no queues at 1130 yesterday. Maybe everyone's had enough and switched to the Yodel and Evri app.
    • Hi there guys, I hope you're well.  I've recently done a term of Dance Yourself Fit, which began with a class at the Harris Girls Academy on the Nunhead side of the Rye, then transferred to the Charter School for Girls up by the old ED hospital. It's been so good and all the women attending have loved it too, but due to exams being on next term the classes are being discontinued in East Dulwich, much to our disappointment. They're moving them to Streatham, but that is not convenient for me and many of the others. This is a link to their site in case anyone is interested though: https://www.danceyourselffit.com I'm now looking for a replacement class that's not too expensive, keeps me moving energetically for an hour and is local and hopefully less than a tenner per lesson (this was about £72 for 8 classes I think?). Does anyone know of anything? I'm also looking for low-cost pilates classes to join too, if anyone has any recommendations for those too? Very best,  Eleanor  Also, just to add, what's been so nice is that it HASN'T been in a gym with lots of lively young lithe gazelle like creatures hopping about. It's been extremely inclusive for women of all sizes and shapes and really nice that it's been in schools not gyms. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed!
