Excellent boozer. The cheeky behind the bar with the fruity name, fantastic bum and faceful of gems was particularly helpful and always smiley. Refused to suck me off though, otherwise it would be a five star pub.

We go to the Goldsmiths every couple of months for a roast. They have a good Sunday lunch menu and broad range of beers and wines. Although it was nice it wasn’t as good as previous visits. The potatoes were a little hard and the veg was not seasoned. The pub is looking a little tatty and the toilets in particular need some attention. I’m hoping this is just a little blip.

Lovely pub, great big garden, nice staff and a good menu. It's not cheap but you are in Penge. Very family friendly also with lots of other famillies.

The best sunday roast i've ever had in a restaurant. My order took a while longer than I was expecting and I was offered a complimentary drink to make up for the delay. Great service.

Another fantastic Sunday lunch at The Goldsmiths Arms. 7 of us including 3 kids and everyone enjoyed the food. It really is the best Sunday Roast. I had beef, my other half had pork, both delicious. The staff are really attentive and a good choice of beers and wine. We are forward to our next visit

First time visit here as son has just moved to the area. Homely pub atmosphere although quite a strong smell of bleach when we walked in. Essentially a no-frills pub, not an upmarket gastropub and the prices reflect that. My son and partner enjoyed 2 good pints of Guinness and our food arrived in good time on a Sunday Lunchtime. My half roast chicken was well cooked with crispy skin with very generous trimmings, a very full plate. Enormous Yorkshire pudding but that unfortunately was cold, but everything else was hot and flavoursome. My partner thought her vegan roast was very good and she is picky! No complaints from anyone about their choices which also included burgers and an aubergine bake and we were all very full. If you like good solid traditional pub food in a Victorian vibe pub with no pretension, then this is the place for you!

I really like this pub. They always have a good range of beers available (including cask) , as well as nice wines and spirits. The menu isn’t overly extensive but just what you want from a pub. Warm confirming food on a November night. The food was enjoyable and the service was excellent.

Lovely pub with a great selection of drinks, including non alcoholic options. Only let down was the barman (think I heard someone call him Jordan). Every time I went to order a drink he kept pushing the sausage rolls on me trying to get me to buy one. Guy needs to learn to take no for an answer, don’t know if he’s on commission or what but his whole manner was very off putting, made me feel very uncomfortable. Otherwise a great little boozer.

Sunday lunch with my wife today at the wonderful goldsmith’s arms, fantastic food as usual, both went for the pork belly, wow ! Also the service was second to none with a special mention for Gia (hope I’ve spelled it correctly) went out of her way to do my daughter a take away dinner, thank you for that. Thanks also to Noah for keeping me topped up with double brandy’s!

In London with 95 yr old mother in law on a mini bucket list visit. 1 visit her grandsons new family home 2, visit crystal palace park - long since departed husband had won an architectural competition in the 90s for a new crystal palace and she wanted to see what was remaining of the original 3, see granddaughters husband Tom preform at the Royal Opera House. Stopping overnight at the Crystal palace Travelodge and attended the Goldsmith Arms for tea. Clearly popular pub with several family groups already there. Attentive and patient staff who created a bespoke meal for the mother in law. Great quality food. Personally full after my fish and chips by mother in law then demolished an apple crumble that would have fed the three of us washed down with lashings of custard. Thank you to you all for your efforts to accomodate her needs Jean (the mother in law), Tim and Kathryn

What can we say, we had the best family meal on Xmas eve at the goldsmiths! We had the set lunch menu, and the food was cooked to perfection (including 4 steaks all cooked to how they were ordered, which were delicious and exceeded pub standard expectations) Our waiter was a complete legend. He was so lovely and attentive, and nothing was too much for him. He offered small extras to make our visit more comfortable (e.g more soup as he noticed our baby daughter was enjoying it so much) We were lucky as the kids table was running and our son was kept occupied by the lovely staff who were kind and patient with him. My mum said this was one of the best meals out she’d ever had, and she’s eaten out a lot! Honestly, thank you, it was truly a Xmas meal to remember. We can’t wait to come back soon.

We had Sunday dinner (roast lamb) here yesterday and it was excellent. Many of the staff are new and therefore service was a bit disorganised at times (I know they're all doing their best!) but the meal was everything you'd want, I'd definitely recommend it. A nice bonus was some music from a jazz quintet who all looked too young to be in a pub but who were great!

The new staff here are just strange. They have a really weird attitude and it’s not welcoming at all. I’ve lived here for over 10 years and so I’ve been many come and go but every time we are in these days something literally forces us back out the door. Went in for a couple drinks on Saturday night, strange vibes. Waited 30 mins for one popcorn chicken starter, the round was £18 ish, I asked to pay with a £20 note and was told by a very rude woman with a brown ponytail and leopard belt ‘no we wouldn’t have change’. You wouldn’t have £1 change? Then their card machines broke down and they did indeed have lots of change.Doors were open, freezing cold even the busy staff had layers and jumpers on. I had a giant puffer and couldn’t warm up. Manager seemed rushed off their feet, one person wandering around on the floor, one person doing table service (was never offered) orders and one other on the bar. Not a good system unfortunately. Overheard the aforementioned ponytail lady patronising someone with a loud drawn out explanation of this at the bar. Also had piles of old food presumably kept from an earlier booking stacked up on the bar which staff were munching away at in between service - not appealing. Music was good, chicken was nice once it arrived.

We came across the pub by chance while staying at the travel lodge on the same road. We sre very glad we did. The pub looks great inside, slightly shabby in a good way! The background music was good too and added to the atmosphere. We ate the vegan chilli and the plant burger (we are vegans) and both were of a very high standard. We followed those up with apple crumble without the custard and that was one of the best i habe ever eaten. The service was very friendly amd we felt very welcome. All.in all a lovely experience after a long drive up from the west country.

A comfortable 2 hour window for a roast turned into a race against time to get and eat our food before being evicted. Went for a Sunday roast, it was 35 minutes until we were offered the chance to order anything, food arrived an hour and half in and desert was unavailable. The food itself is pretty good but they clearly need more staff to handle Sunday dinner. Little things are missing such as giving people a heads up that it’s going to be a long wait to manage expectations, taking drink orders and providing cutlery before the food. This place has potential but it’s not the first occasion that they’ve been unable to handle the volume of people so it’s surprising that they have still not addressed the issue and introduced better practices.

We’ve just had a great experience at the Goldsmiths. I’d seen on social media Kids Table were now at The Goldsmiths and booked up straight away, I wouldn’t have necessarily booked up had they not been there. It’s hard to enjoy a decent local meal with two kids but this was a game changer. We arrived, filled in our disclaimer and our son was entertained by two lovely women for nearly 3 hours! We of course checked in on him constantly but he was well looked after & not too keen to leave to eat his meal or go home. Great meal, great puddings, great service all made even better with FREE child care! I urge all local parents to go & enjoy as we did!

The pub also has a large beer garden at the back. The menu was great - more than the usual pub grub with interesting options for all. The food was delicious and the portions were huge. My daughter got to go to the kids table after she had eaten. I was really impressed by the safety and covid procedures to enter the Kids Table room and that it was run by professionals who immediately engaged my daughter so well that she didn't want to leave when it was time to go. Amazing that it was free to use too! Thanks to all the staff for an amazing experience for Sunday lunch today.

Really pleased to see this pub reopen. They have a new management team with new ideas but who also know that great food and drink served by friendly staff are the most important things to get right. We all loved the free “kids’ room”, which provides free childcare for kids 3 and over in the function room from 12:30 to 4:30 on Sundays so parents can relax whilst kids have fun.

I have been going to this pub since Antic opened it quite a few years ago, it was almost my second home at one point. Having moved out of Penge now I don't get to visit as much anymore.It is with a heavy heart that I have to say our Penge Day visit was a little disappointing. I was warned on Sunday morning by a member of staff who rang me as I had booked a table, that they were only doing a BBQ Menu. I thought that sounded OK but the selection of food on offer was disappointing. Only beef, chicken, or Vegan burgers and hot dogs were on offer. I was hoping for a bit more variety. Maybe some ribs, sweetcorn, the usual bbq fair. What we did have was very nice though, really liked the coleslaw. The staff are lovely, Ryan especially, who served as at lunch time was great.

We went for Sunday lunch when the pub had The Kids Table company happening. This meant we were able to drop the kids off for 1 & 1/2 hours free childcare where they were able to do arts and craft fully supervised as we enjoyed they having a blissful peaceful Sunday lunch. We arranged early so the children could have some snacks at the pub before and stayed for a few drinks as well to make the most of our child free time. Al in all a great experience and so nice to see a pub outside essentially London offering something I like.

Visited for Sunday Rib Roast (yep it really was August) and this was exceptional. Together with a mug (love that) of their guest ale Black Sheep this was altogether a superb meal. As we were visiting late on Sunday the Bar Manager politely asked that my friends teenage daughters wouldn’t be able to be in the pub beyond 8pm which we respected. The Manager then did everything to take our order and serve us so we could leave in time. I liked the way this was explained and it never felt like we were being rushed.The food really was outstanding. Huge Yorkshire Puddings (extra ones given as it was the end of service), perfectly cooked beef. And another good thing - when ordering G&T, selection of guns were offered - a small touch but one not a lot of places always do.Overall fantastic place which feels like a genuine and welcoming local.

Visited with my partner son and new born baby. Staff were so friendly and attentive, the pub is really spacious and we had a good sized table and seating area. My 6 year old attended the kids table arts and craft session and was really happy have something to keep him occupied. He really enjoyed making crafts and only came back to the table to eat some food then ran back carry on with the fun crafts. Ordered the vegan roast which was lovely and the sticky toffee pudding desert was lovely. The price for 3 meals, drinks and 2 deserts was very reasonable. The atmosphere in the pub was relaxed and chilled out. Will definitely return, the whole service we received was to a really high standard and the added bonus of the attainment for my son was great and free.

Goldsmith's is a local for me and I go for the friendly atmosphere, lovely beer garden and good draught beers (beavertown neck oil and staropramen). Their menu is limited and they no longer have a kids menu choice which is disappointing, but the food is tasty and portions are adequate.

I gathered my relatives for a meal at the Goldsmiths Arms and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Tasty food, plenty of room to spread out inside and in the garden, and very friendly staff.

I had a wonderful time with my friends at this pub today, the staff were really accommodating and allowed us all to pay separately which helped us a lot, huge fan of M, loads and loads of fun

Great local pub. Went here for England V Scotland match with friends and they went above and beyond to ensure we and others could all see the game despite covid-19 restrictions. Amazing friendly and professional front of house staff ( particularly that night the lady with pink hair!) . Food is also always great. Love this place, well done Goldsmiths team.

When we arrived service was a bit slow as they were short staffed. Once they got going the food a drink was excellent especially the bar snacks. Could recommend the black pudding scotch egg. The young lady who took our orders worked so hard and was a star.

As always great service and the roast beef dinner was superb, if a little pricey. The garden is always the best place if the weather allows.

It felt like we’d come home this evening.. our fabulous Goldie’s was back… the garden is lush and a real green oasis for a quiet and cool evening drink- plus there is a great new menu - the chicken schnitzel & home made coleslaw is delish!! We also stayed for a pud!! Chocolate tart with fresh raspberries - Hubby reported the Guinness was fab- as was the Malbec for me .. so glad to see some of the original bar staff and to meet the new deputy manager Emma- we felt really welcome We cant wait for the pub quiz and the live music events to start back up .. good luck team Goldsmiths and thanks

Lovely atmosphere, the food was delicious and great quality for pub food, at a v reasonable price. It was a bit disappointing that many of the staff were wearing their masks round their chins but I don’t want to knock my rating down for that, as we had a lovely evening- thanks.

I've been to them all, trust me, if you want a balance between cost and atmosphere, you cannot do better than this. The staff alone are gold.

What a wonderful place. I have not been for about two years but now under new management I shall definitely be returning. Lovely welcome fantastic service and very chilled atmosphere. Em catered for my needs and was so friendly without being pretentious. I had spiced rum and lemonade, absolutely delicious sausage and mash and the most yummy pudding recommended by Em.

I love this place and have been coming since it opened but the last few times I’ve been, I’ve had to wait around 15 mins for a takeaway coffee. Staff are getting stressed and flustered, mixing up orders and on two occasions they simply stopped taking orders because they’d got so behind (but didn’t explain this to the waiting customers). I’m sure they are trying their best but it’s awful to see customers walking out. Such a shame as I really want to continue to enjoy coming here, and the coffee is great! I like supporting local businesses and want to see them thrive. Not sure what the problem is - maybe the kitchen is too small to cope with all the food orders or perhaps the staff need dedicated roles eg. One person making all the coffee. Maybe the menu is too diverse for that little kitchen? It would help too if a staff member perhaps explained that there would be a long wait due to it being particularly busy, and then we could decide whether to leave the queue. I’m putting this review on here in the hope that the owners will see it and make some changes. I really hope it improves.

The coffee and cakes here are sensational. I'm serious about coffee; it is an obsession. I source my own green coffee beans, roast them and work hard to be a good barista. Hence I am always dissatisfied with coffee 'out'. I fell upon this place while waiting to pick-up my wife from the hospital yesterday. It is the best prepared coffee I've had out in recent years. The one that came close cost £8.50 from a Michelin star restaurant. The only down side is that I need a better excuse to go back! The service was great too. Keep-up the great work.

I stopped in for lunch and had the chicken escalope with fries and my partner had the spaghetti bolognaise. It was a delicious meal with a home cooked feel at a very reasonable price! The lady who served us was very friendly, chatty and absolutely hilarious. I will be going back!
