Best roast dinner in the area?

Agree with the Crooked Well as the consistently best option. A year or two ago I'd have said the Palmerston was right up there, however I've found it to be "average" the past couple of times we've been. At the price charged I think it's reasonable to expect "fantastic".


The Old Nun's Head by Nunhead Green is also an excellent option as is Pedler.


We've tried The Lordship a couple of times (most recently about a week ago - couldn't get in to Old Nun's Head or Pedler). The service is nice there and we really wanted it to be great, but we were underwhelmed with the food for the price.


Keen to try the Perry Vale.

Yeh we had a roast at The Great Exhibition a week or so back.


Nothing like as good as it used to be, I thought. Wouldn't rush back.


The Old Nun's Head roasts are excellent, but it's very popular and you have to book a table if you want to be sure of getting one :(

I think the food at the Camberwell Arms is overrated and overpriced.. didn't rate their "roast" at all. Crooked Well is consistently good and big thumbs up for Pedler. I also have to give a shout out for the roast at The Sun in Camberwell - really good both times I've been. Proper potatoes, proper gravy!

So you expect people to photograph food & menus + prices, all ready for sharing on the forum and elsewhere


I'll try harder next time, obviously i'm missing a trick here


Specially when asked what I did over the weekend, yeah I can bore the tits right off them with my "Lunch Album/menu spreadsheet" collection all stored on my ipad/phone

this is a forum it's for members to share lots of things, if you think it will as you say "bore the tits right off them". have you never talked about when you go out and what a great meal you had and what good value it was ??.any way why are you posting on this thread on the forum if you think it's a bore?? and calling other members names like "Piloc" well it's says it all.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
