[sean dillion]

Were is Crooked Well located guys?

[mybaby178]

[tillytots]

Crooked Well is nice, as is The Palmerston and the Actress does the best pizza but avoid it there's football on. The Rye Hotel is crap, food awful last week and it was like a cr?che and whatever you do, don't have a roast in the Clockhouse - rank! Clockhouse bar staff are slow and dopey and if it's nice weather it's like a cr?che and full of annoying families and really rough looking regulars who use fowl language, smoke like chimney's and look at you like they own the place! Vile!

Erm, I'm a regular at The Clockhouse you toffee nosed madam, yes I smoke but not on a loop and the regulars, as you so call us are REGULARS, we go in a few nights a week where as people like you come once in a blue moon, I go in there after work (yes, I do work - very good job in the media actually) and have been for about 4 years, the regulars know my name, we chat and they are loyal and friendly, and the bar staff know my tipple! And to quote us a rough? I don't really class a south London accent as rough, if you don't like mixing or looking at a load of honest and decent people who drink in there regulary then I suggest you don't come in as my bite is worse than my stare!

fowl language - is that a lot of squawking at the 'rank' food?

Well tillytots the regulars at the Clockhouse probably do own the place as they've spent enough over the years! You must be so up your own backside that you can't see or hear properly or maybe you feel the world should adapt to you 'cos you obviously think you're very special!! I should imagine you're very boring and colourless so you wouldn't fit in with the regulars anyway as they'd be far too witty for you! I see someone picked up on the 'fowl' language, so lots of cluck cluck jokes coming up!! Maybe you'd also like a pecking order at the bar!

[dildals]

The Bear does a great roast! Defo recommend them, but do make a reservation.

[Chocoholic]

I am a regular at the Clockhouse too. Been going there for over 20years. Firstly I don't smoke, secondly I don't stare at people especially toffee nose stuck up ones. I don't own the place but I feel like I should the amount of money that I have put over the bar and I certainly wouldn't want you in my pub. Next time your in there Tillytots come over and introduce your self rather than slag us regulars off behind a computer. You used the word vile you must be vile because I am certainly not and neither are my friends. We are all good people paid our NI and taxes all of our lifes. Have a good day!!!

The Clockhouse is basically an All Bar One/beige Northcote Road type establishment, I'm surprised tillytots doesn't like it compared to some of the better pubs in the area. Can't comment on the clientele particularly, speaking more on decor here.

[Jah Lush]

Last time I looked the Clockhouse wasn't in Camberwell. I agree about the d?cor. It's been ruined. Same goes for The Dulwich Woodhouse. It has put me off going to both pubs and I've been going in them for 40 years. And if Tillytots is the sort of person who goes in there with any regularity then I'll definitely be avoiding it in future.

Anyway, back to Camberwell... Another plus for the Crooked Well.

[El Pibe]

not pubs but angels and gypsies always lovely and Johanssons just down from the crooked well also a nice little spot.

[Jah Lush]

Agree, Angels and Gypsies is excellent for tapas. Good selection of wine too.

[cle]

Love Angels & Gypsies. That whole stretch is great for (evening) eating. Plus the pubs for more daytime stuff and boozing of course.

Camberwell Arms is pretty great - menu always changing, make their own charcuterie, cocktails, more adventurous stuff like game/rabbit. Crooked Well very good too, but a safer option.

[Jeremy]

Only problem with camberwell arms is the generic beers.
