The Waverley Arms is now up and running again after an extensive refurb and we'd just like to spread the word and say hello. Whilst I realise it aint exactly in ED, we're not far away either sitting on Ivydale Rd just at the top of Peckham Rye park.


We took over the pub in early February and after having invested our pennies into this formerly unloved boozer (not to mention plenty of blood sweat and tears), we finally reopened our doors at the end of July. We're new to the pub game having given up our sensible 9-5 day jobs but are loving every minute so far, especially as the initial reactions have been so nice and positive.


We've managed to wangle some great tasting local ales and beers out of Punch taverns, and have an interesting and very reasonably priced wine list that hopefully covers all the bases.


A new kitchen is coming this autumn (the pub has never had a trade kitchen), but in the meantime we're serving great summer grub off our massive outdoor BBQ and have plenty of fancy snacks to keep hunger at bay. Come autumn, we will be serving handmade stonebaked pizzas and hearty salads, and then plan to roll out top-notch burgers, daily specials and a Sunday roast a bit further down the line. The menu will be simple and use high quality ingredients, but The Waverley will be a pub that serves great food, rather than a restaurant pretending to be a pub.


After living in and around the area for the last few years, and having made The Waverley our family home, we really hope you will love the pub as much as we do. We'll be starting a pub quiz and Sunday night piano sing-a-longs, plus a few other events shortly. We're open to ideas and would really appreciate any feedback you'd like to give.


We have a large backroom that would make a great space for parties/functions etc, and during weekdays before 4pm the whole pub can be used privately for any community groups that might be interested.


Hope to see you soon for a drink and a chat.


Jonny & Katie

An excellent addition to Nunhead, making it the new cool place to be. I've visited the pub 'before' and 'after' and can honestly say that I was amazed at the difference. All it takes is a bit of love, but Jonny and Katie must be oozing with it by the looks of things...

The people behind this charming and low key little place are good people. They have kept it's character and inside you can feel the history. I almost thought I could see dead people. Walking around like regular people. They serve a lovely pint of Dead Pony. And have a bbq in the eves and after 12 on weekends. Such a contrast to the other new refurb down the road which has been well and truly "clockhoused".

If I used that line I'd find myself on the end of a tirade about how there's too much to do for any feet upping.

      Checking refs of these builders

      By camberwell57 · Posted

      Hi - I posted a request for some help with a stuck door and possible leaky roof. I had responses from Lukasz at Look_as.com and Pawel at Sublime Builders. I don't see any/many reviews - has anyone used either person?  Could use a recommendation rather then just being contact by the tradespeople... Many Thanks

      Will Mandelson be accepted across the pond.

      By malumbu · Posted

      I'm a bit worried by your sudden involvement on this Forum.  The former Prince Andrew is now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Mountbatten in an anglicisation of Von Battenburg adopted by that branch of our Royal Family in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment. Another anglicisation could be simply Battenburg as in the checker board cake.  So I surmise that your are Andrew Battenburg, aka Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and that you have infiltrated social media so that the country can put the emphasis on Mandelson rather than yourself.  Bit of a failure. I don't expect an answer from police custody.

      John Marx (Top Marx Kitchens): highly recommended kitchen fitter

      By enya · Posted

      We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Suggsy · Posted

      Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely.
