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!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
