Wow what can I say, took some friends from the country down to the actress, which I have not been too sorry in a couple of months, And the menu has changed, we took advantage of knowing a couple of the staff and they recommended we share some dishes, I thought I would of needed more but no the plate size and the recommended sides were just right for four Bruno and Lucy recommended to share, the monk fish, with seaweed may, pastrami board, a club sandwich with a side of chunky and skinny fries, This went down a treat and to be honest my friends were full and tried to order half pints after their food, to which the staff laughed at them until they ordered a full pint Great team and service will def come back sooner rather than later as I saw you still have the sticky toffee pudding on the desserts,

This place has a lovely, buzzy vibe and the staff are great. It is dog and child friendly with lots of outdoor tables. We wanted early evening food but couldn’t gauge the quality as not many people were eating. There were four of us dining and the food was so-so apart from my husband’s flat iron steak which was totally inedible. The steak looked attractive when it was served but my husband could only eat about 20% of it. It was completely raw in the middle, sinewy and gristly to the point where it was hard to even cut it. I gave my husband half my pie, which wasn’t delicious and we complained. The waitress said she’d get the manager but then came back and said my husband could have a free dessert. They literally couldn’t be bothered to speak to us. It was such a disappointment and I wouldn’t recommend this place to diners although for drinks it’s very nice.

Some of the friendliest staff in the area - with a special shout out to Ryan who went the extra mile for us! Great pizza, great for sports, and family friendly - especially during the day.

The Actress in East Dulwich is a fantastic spot with some of the best pizzas around! The family-friendly vibe makes it a great place to bring the kids, and the beer garden is a lovely area to relax in. They offer a great selection of beers to suit all tastes, and the live sports add to the lively atmosphere. Whether you're there for a meal with the family or to catch a game with friends, The Actress delivers every time. Highly recommend!

Very nice pub with decent choice of beers, good outdoor seating, board games and very nice vibe. Had the pizza and it was really bad. Had a margherita, it was quite small, the dough was flat and undercooked inside, probably old and cooked straight from the fridge. Toppings nothing special, very little sauce (more jarred marinara sauce than real tomatoes), some unidentified cheese and very little to nothing real mozzarella. You can get better pizzas in supermarkets nowadays... Sorry for being blunt but I am a southern italian and it hurts paying 12 pounds for a pizza like that.

Best and most friendly pub in the area by a mile! Lucy, the manager, is great and the pub is super inclusive. Whether you’re with the kids, the dog or the boys wanting to watch the football, the pub covers all bases at different times of the day. Highly recommend it if you haven’t been already!

The Actress never fails. Great drinks and amazing food (particularly the pizzas). We last came for my Dad’s birthday and he is gluten free and they were more than happy to make edits to his order to make it okay for him. The staff never fails to make our time there welcoming. Lucy, Chris and Jasmine in particular are amazing at their jobs and make the atmosphere brilliant. Forever one of my go to pubs. Thank you!

Really disappointing Sunday roasts. Tasteless, 2 tiny roast potatoes, spongey yorkie, bland bit of veg, dried out chicken and ‘gravy’ that was like weak dish water. 2/10 max and non existent service. Wasn’t told we had to order our food at the bar so sat there for 20 minutes before seeking out staff. Paid the service charge but christ knows what for.

Monday is a quiet day but I guess to be expected start of the week. The staff are attentive and really great natured servicing with a smile and light not forced banter. Ordered a couple of pizza's and in no time we was consuming them. Even when it came to closing time they didn't hurry you out as such and still had a laugh and a joke about chicken wings. Great place

If you have kids (or even if you don't) the best pub in Dulwich. The staff are the nicest, kindest, calmest, coolest folk I've ever met! Great food and deals on food and drink, loads of entertainment and can deal with post nursery chaos in style! Very accommodating and on top of that, they helped us find our cat when we first moved in and it went walkies. What more can I say? 🥰

United we’re losing so I was quite annoyed, you could cut the frustration between my friends and Ten Hag with a saw!! The food however did lighten the mood, my only reservation I would say is there was simply a mere dusting of cheese on the mac n cheese side. Service was fantastic and I must say I would come back.

I was at The Actress, sheltering from some rain while I was walking back home from a physiotherapy visit nearby, because of my foot injury. It was still quite early in the afternoon, so the kitchen wasn't open yet but some crisps and a pint was obviously available. They have an interesting menu so I will definitely be back for the food at another time. The staff was very friendly, it was a quiet time of the day with just a few guests and the atmosphere was relaxed and very enjoyable.

Excellent. This pub has it all: Great food, friendly staff, they’re great with kids and host a coffee morning for mums with buggies. In the evening you can arrive with mates and watch the football or rugby, or you can come a little earlier for a quiet pint and a bite to eat. Try support independent drinks manufacturers so the drinks menu is constantly changing. I live locally and and find it hard to just walk past and not pop in for a slice of pizza and a pint. Keep up the good work.

Why would you put posh tapas anchovies on a pizza instead of the melting salty ones from a tin? They were still a bit cold and their overriding vingerary fishiness ruined a great pizza base. Black olives + anchovies + capers = best pizza topping ever but NOT if you use those anchovies. Fact. Please tweak this and save this pizza!!!

The food fell short a bit with hot sauce thrown over the wings (this was not noted on the menu) rizla thin burgers (ALBEIT TASTY) and fries that did not quite match the description on the menu. Not sure I would go back again as it did not reflect quality for money!
