The Crooked Well in Southwark

Pub for families, not too busy. Sunday Roast was ok, we just expected a bit more flavor. But fine for English standards. Good Mulled Wine!

Nice bar in the restaurant but white wine was warm and the cocktails very sweet

Beautiful pub and a great beer selection.

Food was average but the staff were well nice

Max is the man give him a pay rise

A great Sunday roast! The atmosphere is very nice and family friendly. We also loved the service.

Best pub in south London. Staff friendly; food scrumptious; atmosphere exquisite. Why would you go anywhere else?

Thank you to the Crooked Well team for hosting such an epic 30th birthday lunch! We took over the side space in the downstairs area for the afternoon. The team made the event run smoothly from start to finish, with a very warm welcome and professional + friendly service throughout. Frank from Carter’s served up the most delicious and unique sharing plates lunch for 40 of us, with a firm favourite tiramisu to finish! If I could give you 10 * I would! Communication was ace in the build up to the event also.

I had an excellent Sunday roast here - it’s not often you find pies on roast menus across London! The chicken, leek and mushroom pie made by Carter’s (the current resident chefs) was just gorgeous - perfect pastry and tasty filling. I also had a side of chips which was the BEST chips I’ve had in a very, very long time, a perfect pub snack. Service was also quick, warm and unobtrusive - thanks Crooked Well team 👍

I don't often write reviews but the value of the food and service here was pretty poor. More of a restaurant than a pub, the food was OK but definitely not worth the price. £24 for a roast on a small plate. The gravy that thin and flavourless, potatoes weren't crispy, the cabbage was very plain and overall portion size was verging on the mean. Added to the fact that it took 50 mins to be served.

Este pub gastronómico está escondido justo al lado de la carretera principal y estaba muy ocupado un viernes por la noche. Queríamos bebidas pero el menú de comida parecía demasiado interesante para ignorarlo, así que maridamos bebidas con algunos entrantes y un postre. Los dos camareros con los que interactuamos eran muy amables - un hombre joven que nos sentó / atendió (Haydn) y una camarera joven, de pelo oscuro (no consiguió su nombre) que ayudó con una sugerencia de postre. Haydn se tomó el tiempo para responder a nuestras preguntas de menú y tenía un gran conocimiento de las ofertas de comida (a menudo falta en los pubs en nuestra experiencia). Su bienvenida fue cálida y parecía realmente comprometido en su trabajo asegurándose de que todos (todas las mesas estaban tomadas) estaban siendo atendidos. Él se apresuró a advertirnos que podría haber una espera para la comida y lo que no estaba disponible (sin salchichas) – que gestionó nuestras expectativas y una vez más muestra una atención cuidadosa para proporcionar una gran experiencia al cliente. El menú de cócteles no es particularmente extenso u original, así que nos encantó que ofrecieran un "especial", un giro interesante en un Pina Colada. Luchamos con la selección de un segundo cóctel y, Haydn se apresuró a preguntar lo que nos gustó y trajo otro "especial" (de su propia idea?). Una vez más delicioso y dados tantos pubs pre-hacer cócteles y por lo tanto no requieren experiencia o habilidad de su personal, fue refrescante encontrar un pub que se toma sus cócteles más en serio! Toda la comida era un poco diferente – tanto interesante y delicioso - los pequeños palitos de queso eran excepcionales (2 cada uno no era suficiente! ) y la Alaksa al horno no decepcionó - el hogar - hecho hielo pistacho - helado dentro era realmente maravilloso. Lamentamos no haber planeado cenar allí y volveremos.

Never been before, a hidden gem of sorts in Camberwell? Food was delicious and beautifully prepared. Staff were friendly welcoming and fun.

I booked the private room for my birthday and it was great. The food was fantastic and the staff were extremely accommodating!

Spontaneous visit and now till make def planned trips. Great food (we just had snacks, can't wait to try the main menu). Warm welcome, really lovely atmosphere and great prices - can't wait to go back.

Really lovely place for a Sunday roast, brilliant service and atmosphere

10/10 food… 10/10 vibe… I would highly recommend

Great pub, great food, chilled vibe and lovely staff!

I came here last Sunday as I’d heard great things about the Sunday roast, oh my I was NOT disappointed! I went for the Pork roast which honestly blew me away. Although the food was great, our waiter Hayden was as good as they come. As someone who works in this industry I was so SO impressed by his level of service and hospitality, simply couldn’t have asked for anymore, every one of our needs was catered for! (Which is why I asked for his name!) The only thing I would say is myself and my friend both ordered a Guinness each and there was a very funky taste to it, and it definitely wasn’t tasting how it should! Hayden sorted this issue out for us and made us a fantastic cocktail instead but I wouldn’t recommend ordering the Guinness! Will definitely be returning soon for the fab food options and fingers crossed Hayden’s around next time!

I don’t mind paying the big bucks for good food, but for the quality of the roast/portion size, I feel that the crooked well is not worth it or consistent. The food was bland. On top of this we were charged a very big service charge, on top of what we already paid which was way over the odds as far as I’m concerned, £4 for soft drink! I felt very disappointed after the fact.

I booked the private room upstairs for my 30th birthday and had an amazing time. For starters the minimum spend was so reasonable compared to other pubs in London, making it far more affordable. The pub were super accommodating of all my requests in the lead up the event. The Head Chef Franc was amazing at helping me create a suitable menu for my guests and helped with lots of my back and forth emailing. Finally the staff were amazing on the day, so accommodating and made my day super special! Everyone still components the food- which was top quality! Would highly recommend for a private event.

The Crooked Well hosted us recently for a wedding party of 25 upstairs. They did an absolutely incredible job. The food was so amazing, I can’t thank the staff enough.

Came for Sunday lunch with a group of friends. The chicken and tarragon pie was genuinely one of the best pies I’ve ever had - so delicious and great portion size. The roast potatoes were spot on, crunchy outside, moist inside. The lunch was fantastic, impeccable food and delicious drinks. Would really recommend visiting for Carter’s Sunday lunch - 5 stars 🤝

Incredible food by Carter’s. Definitely not your average pub food, everything was delicious, we had 6 perfect roasts. Everyone was raving about their meals. Succulent and tender roast beef, perfect crispy tatties and an abundance of gravy (each in our own little jug!) 🙏 And the baked alaska with pistachio ice cream was fab. We will be back. Best pub food in London!

We were looking for somewhere that could accommodate us for an early dinner after our official wedding ceremony which was not an easy task but the whole team at The Crooked Well were amazing and flexible right from booking and throughout the day. The food and wine were all amazing and our whole party are still talking about the chocolate mousse. The team on the day were so kind when we needed to change locations and really attentive and accommodating. Couldn’t have asked for a better dinner.

We were blown away by the quality of food and service from Frank, Charlie and the team. Wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Bonito lugar para beber y el personal es agradable, pero la comida estaba muy por encima - precio por la calidad. Es una cosa de cocina pop-up, así que esperemos que el pub elija una mejor la próxima vez. Tenía una hamburguesa de hongos con patatas fritas que llegó a £ 20. Esperaba algo de calidad. Pero se acercó al cartón húmedo. Mis amigos tenían un montón de entrantes, ya que la red era tan cara. Su comida era mejor, pero por £ 13 para un plato de entrada que todavía era más - precio.

We had our wedding at the Crooked Well catered by Carters and couldn’t rate Frank and his team highly enough. The food was exactly what we wanted, Frank let us collaborate on the menu so that it fit what we wanted perfectly and he executed it with such great precision. The canapés were delicious and in abundance, he set up a Japanese BBQ and cooked skewers on demand which was such a lovely touch and in my opinion the most delicious thing they served. Our main was shoulders of pork which looked so impressive and tasted just as good (I’ve had friends text me since singing the pork’s praises) and the homemade choc ices were the perfect summery touch to the menu. Frank was incredible!! Thanks so so much for making our day so special.

Came here for a birthday roast and it was amazing! The staff are all fantastic - so helpful and all round lovely. Thank you so much!!!

I came here for dinner and drinks with a group of friends recently. To be honest we were completely blown away. It's a beautiful pub with a great atmosphere. We were welcomed with a smile as soon as we arrived, and the service was high quality and attentive throughout the evening, The food was astounding - we weren't necessarily expecting anything particularly special from a pub, but we were so impressed with the quality and value. Would highly recommend!

A lovely pub, with a great and friendly team. But over the last 12 - 18 months the room seems less busy and I suspect that has a lot to do with the food and drink. A short but nice wine list, the rest of the drinks list seems shorter and more limited. But it is the food menu that has changed drastically. The Crooked Well was a great 'gastro' pub, with excellent food. It was not the cheapest but generally always very good. Now the menu reads like a slightly enthusiastic home cook has put it together, and the general quality is very average. Perhaps we were spoilt beforehand, but it seems like a huge step down. Still a nice place, but perhaps for a Sunday lunch or snack rather than a nice meal with friends.

Have been to the Crooked Well a few times since the new residence ‘Carters’ started - it does not disappoint. Highlights include the gildas and the steak, but need to return for the pie as it looks amazing! The food is high end but with the chilled vibes you want in a pub setting.

Have always liked this pub and love what they have done recently with the Carters pop up in the kitchen. Delicious food and a really nice varied menu. Would recommend!

Such a nice pub with good atmosphere and a great menu from the guys at Carter's. I have the steak which was cooked to perfection and the dessert was 🔥. Great experience, will go again!

Nice pub but terrible drinks: very basic wine which was overpriced and flat beer. The roast was very basic; wouldn’t eat there again.

A complete joke to be honest. Do not , under any circumstances even consider holding any kind of function at this place as it's like trying to deal with a bunch of circus monkeys. Completely wastes 6 months of my life, and wasted hundreds of pounds organising a reception here and it was all just too much for them. Dishonest, unorganized and rude. Please don't waste your time.

Great local pub serving amazing food! I love the new menu - we had some tasty burgers and you can tell the produce is top quality :) definitely recommend the panisse and smoked trout too... some of the best food in Camberwell bar staff and waiters are super friendly, looking forward to coming back asap

Encontramos el torcido bien a través de bridebook.com, así es como nos pusimos en contacto con ellos (más sobre esto más adelante). Absolutamente horrible experiencia de principio a fin. En retrospectiva, las alarmas deberían haber sonado cuando en nuestra primera reunión Dann (el gerente) no solo olvidó por completo que teníamos una reunión programada, sino que también dijo "No puedo imaginar por qué alguien querría casarse". Luego procedimos a decirle lo que queríamos, él estuvo de acuerdo con todo, incluyendo nuestra propuesta de una comida buffet caliente para nuestros huéspedes con botellas de vino pre-compradas para colocar en las mesas para que nuestros huéspedes se sirvan. Él nos aseguró que el pozo torcido podía proporcionar cualquier tipo de comida que quisiéramos. Pasamos por encima de lo que queríamos gastar y acordamos un gasto mínimo en el bar. Nunca antes habíamos organizado una boda, así que en retrospectiva deberíamos habernos dado cuenta de lo blasé y desesperado que estaba siendo con los detalles, pero le dimos su palabra para todo y continuamos planeando nuestra boda, seguros de saber que teníamos nuestro lugar de recepción arreglado. La correspondencia por correo electrónico era como sacar sangre de una piedra. Por lo general, tomaría al menos una semana para una respuesta de correo electrónico y, a veces, no obtendríamos respuesta alguna. Comenzamos a preocuparnos así que pedimos otra reunión y pedimos reunirnos con el chef también para discutir nuestro menú buffet. Al reunirnos con Dann y el Chef*, explicamos lo que queríamos en el buffet antes de que el Chef nos dijera que el Pozo Torcido no tenía las instalaciones para proporcionar un servicio de buffet y que la única opción era una comida sentada. No habíamos querido una comida sentada. Habíamos querido un buffet de estilo mediterráneo, pero nos encontramos a regañadientes aceptando una comida de comida británica contemporánea, a un precio per cápita considerablemente mayor de lo acordado inicialmente. Fue aquí donde realmente empezamos a preocuparnos ya que se hizo evidente en este momento que Dann, no solo no sabía lo que era un buffet, sino que también sabía que realmente lo había cagado. En lugar de disculparse con nosotros y tratar de arreglar las cosas se inclinó hacia un segundo plano, bochornoso y avergonzado Una comunicación por correo electrónico más frustrante siguió antes de que decidiéramos que necesitábamos calmar nuestras mentes, entonces Dann comenzó a tratar de cambiar los términos de nuestro acuerdo verbal. De repente comenzó a decir que el mínimo de pasar la noche ahora no incluía lo que nuestros huéspedes pasaron en el bar y que tuvimos que gastar eso antes de que la recepción hubiera comenzado. También ahora quería incluir un 12. 5 % de tasa de servicio sobre el vino colocado en las mesas, que los huéspedes estarían literalmente sirviéndose a sí mismos. Luego comenzó a tratar de hacer creer que estaba siendo generoso al no cobrar una tarifa de pastelería para que nuestros huéspedes tuvieran pastel en servilletas de papel, cortadas por nosotros, a pesar de que ni siquiera uno mencionó tal tarifa. Empezamos a pensar que estaba tratando de empujarnos a cancelar ya que obviamente estaba en camino sobre su cabeza. Así que redacté un correo electrónico muy profesional destacando todas las preguntas que realmente necesitábamos responder como definitivas. No teníamos contrato, así que realmente necesitábamos algo de esta información por escrito. Todas las preguntas fueron completamente ignoradas y recibimos una respuesta que esencialmente decía "mira, realmente no tenemos las instalaciones para el nivel de servicio que quieres, si quieres cancelar eso está bien". Respondimos y señalamos todos los servicios listados en bridebook.com (cómo los contactamos) , y obtuvimos una respuesta de "oh, ya no usamos bridebook contáctelos si tiene un problema con la información, no es nuestra culpa" Contactamos a Bridebook. No solo nos informaron que toda la información es proporcionada por el pozo Torcido, sino que también necesita ser revisada anualmente cuando se renueve su suscripción anual (cuota pagada). Esta información es totalmente incorrecta y esto es totalmente culpa de El Pozo Torcido. No han ofrecido absolutamente ninguna disculpa por los 6 meses desperdiciados en ellos, los cientos de libras desperdiciadas en un DJ reservado para el lugar, invitaciones impresas y viajes y hoteles reservados. Decidimos que aún faltando 3 meses para nuestra boda, era mejor empezar de cero y encontrar un nuevo lugar que continuara con esta farsa. No puedo decir con palabras lo horrible que fue tratar con El pozo torcido, yo personalmente evitaría este lugar e iría a otro lugar. *Me he referido al Chef simplemente como 'Chef', ya que no deseo ensuciar su nombre y reputación, y le deseamos mucho éxito con dondequiera que su negocio lo lleve en el futuro, nada de esto fue su culpa.

Only been to this place once and I’ll never be going back. The whole place smelled of rotten eggs.

The Carter’s menu was so delicious, I need to come back for the full menu (I was there for a roast). Even though this place is right in the center of camberwell, it’s a bit off the main road so it was a nice chill spot for a Sunday! The staff were super friendly and fun. For starters try the panisse made of chickpeas, I didn’t want to share it (even though it’s a big portion)!

When 4 of you spend £300+ on Sunday lunch and an establishment sneaks on to the bill extras that you are not aware of like £1.50 for extra gravy, i full disagree and get annoyed. You may have have gained an extra few quid but you've lost our return custom. Very underhand, and when i told you...it wasn't a joking comment, don't agree with me then laugh.

A nice pub with a great kitchen and decent beer offering. Did a pub quiz here which was really fun. Loved the Gildas and Schnitzel which were top notch!

This pub has a lovely vibe and atmosphere, seating inside and outside tucked in round the corner of the main road in Camberwell. Was fully booked for Sunday roast so definitely recommend booking if you want to dine here. The staff are friendly and welcoming and initially it was a good experience but the food took ages to arrive and wasn’t piping hot when we got it. Menu online had a lamb option but the menu didn’t have lamb when we got there. It was slightly overpriced and wasn’t the best experience. Had a beef roast and the meat was very pink but not tender, was hard to cut through and chew. Roast potatoes were lovely though and so was the Yorkshire pudding. Gravy was a bit on the stingy side. Overall wasn’t that impressed for the price, had to chase the waiter a few times for our order. We waited about 50 mins to be served after ordering and ordered an extra side that came about 15 mins after our main meal. Wanted to stay for a dessert but didn’t have time. Not sure if it was just a slightly off day for them. The food was all a little underwhelming but it is still a nice pub to go for drinks!

The veg roast sucked! Not coming back.

The food was amazing - really high quality and a very pleasant surprise (was expecting more traditional pub food). Excellent attentive service; good quality, good value wine. This really is a very good place.

Have been here twice recently and both times the food has been excellent. The new pop-up serves a high quality seasonal British menu with lots of interesting options. Would recommend highly to anyone in the Camberwell area!

Went for a Sunday roast a few weeks ago and was really disappointed. I used to rate this place as one of the best roasts, but wow, the standards have really slipped. No roast potatoes, new potatoes instead which were covered in some questionable spices. Beef was not very well cooked, very tough and chewy. Service wasn’t great, when I arrived I was stood like a lemon waiting to be greeted for a good five minutes, despite multiple staff members walking past me seeing me waiting.

They recently got new chefs in and I had one of the best roast beef’s last Sunday. I will definitely be back

We nipped in here for a drink after visiting a nearby Chinese restaurant. Decent enough spot, & peaceful so we didn't have to shout to be heard.

Booked well in advance for a Sunday roast requesting 2 x vegetarians. On arrival, we were seated and told we would get our menus. Eventually we did. Ordered our meals - 1 beef and 2 vegetarians. 5 minutes later we were told there were no vegetarian option left at 3.30pm on a Sunday. Very disappointing. We have enjoyed eating at the Crooked Well in the past but the whole atmosphere and vibe of the pub seem to have changed and not for the better.

Worth visiting Friendly staffs.

Really fabulous venue they let me bring my cat in - food was unbelievable on a saturday, nepalese kitchen food. Service was great too!

Good selection of drinks and good food with quite a unique menu - certainly worth a go!

Full marks for the Nepalese kitchen at the crooked well. We had a really lovely lunch with some absolutely fantastic chicken skewers (tasty, huge, 5 of them for 16£), some Nepalese dumplings called "momos" and a lovely slow roasted aubergine. We saw the lamb chops from nearby tables and they looked mouth watering. Relaxed atmosphere, great choice of music (old Prefab Sprout and Style Council records), top notch service.

Terribly disappointing. This place used to be excellent but sadly the current chef doesn't know how to cook Sunday roast. We ordered roast pork and got something more like boiled ham, wrinkly new potatoes not roast potatoes, and cabbage so heavily salty it was Inedible. The veggie roast used to be great too, but we got a strange grainy mixture in soggy pastry that was half raw. Very bad to be charging these prices for such poor food. On the plus side the staff are pleasant and friendly.

it's a ponzi bar that wants to be Ponzi no food hygiene dirty hands in food, no gloves, massaging food and ask for a pint of beer Moretti and get it served in two different glasses what a joke, if you won't to be ponzi be ponzi, but food hygiene really, as for paying top money for a beer, serve it in the right glass, really, your not weatherspoons, just heads up sort it out!!

Went for Sunday lunch. Disappointed to be served a flat Yorkshire pudding and new potatoes. Apparently the chef was off and their replacement didn't know how to make roast potatoes! Service was great and did make up somewhat for the disappointing roast.

Difficult to rate the atmosphere as private function.

We chose The Crooked Well for three reasons - it was near the airbnb we were staying, it was open on Christmas Eve and it was also serving a Sunday roast! The atmosphere was charming, the service good and the food delicious! Highly recommend!

Service and drinks were nice, but the 'Christmas sunday roast' left much to be desired. If you love paying over £20 for a roast that's overflowing with cabbage and carrots, boiled new potatoes, one piece of turkey, and a distinct lack of roast pudding, then this place is a must visit.

Great pub with usual selection of beers and wines. Delicious Nepalese food based on momos and curries. Food was really tasty, especially for what looks like a regular pub. Midweek food offers are a nice touch and help to make eating for £30 a head comfortable - we also had 2 pints each Would definitely go back.

This was all round a really disappointing experience. 1 - We couldn't get served without having to ask for the attention of the waiter, at any point during the meal. 2 - The roast dinner was so large, any time I tried to cut my food I knocked peas or cabbage off the plate 3 - The beef was basically raw (I like rare meat but this was inedible) 4 - The potatoes were barely cooked, also vaguely inedible 5 - There was so much food all four of our meals were only half eaten. This is overkill for a roast dinner and seems to just be creating waste. 6 - I asked for my roast to be gluten free, and it came out with a yorkshire pudding. Clearly not paying any attention to dietary restrictions. The mulled wine was good, and it seemed a nice atmosphere, but I can't say I will be returning. Don't bother coming here for a roast.

I gave this place another try as I saw there was Nepalese food offered. The food was nothing interesting ,the place looked even worse than last time I went there. Shame it has not moved forward considering the location it has. Not going back there any time soon for sure. Food took too long to arrive even though it was not a busy day ,we went for dinner on Tuesday. The drinks they said you can have 2 4 1 on cocktails and at the end of my bill that was not the case. People working there are a bit lost in space. The salt and pepper squid large portion looked like a starter. Don't know what the small portion will look like.

One of the standout qualities of this service was their excellent communication. They kept me well-informed every step of the way, ensuring I was always in the loop. Their transparency and willingness to address any questions or concerns I had made me feel valued and appreciated as a customer. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely spot. Feels like it needs a passionate GM to really carry it. Sadly it feels somewhat unloved currently.

Came here with my son and his girlfriend who live locally, we fancied a Sunday roast and even though he'd not visited before had heard good things, those good things were right! I had the Roast beef which was delicious, a huge plate of food with carrots, roasties, peas, cabbage and my own jug of gravy. My son and his girlfriend had the vegetarian wellington which they said was very good and the roasted 'stuffing' balls were apparently 'divine'. We ordered a side of cauliflower cheese which was more than enough for all three of us and was soooo good - really cheesy and it seemed wrong that we were so full we couldn't finish it! Desserts were a scrumption lemon curd with strawberries tart and the mango cheesecake. Excellent once again. Service was great and friendly. We will definitely visit again.

Nice atmosphere and dog friendly!!!!

The service here is shamelessly atrocious! One person in our group didn’t receive their meal until after everyone else (including people who arrived half an hour late) finished eating. None of the staff seemed to give a toss - no apologies, just a cavalier little shrug 🤷 Rest assured that’s the last time we’re getting anywhere near this pompous hell hole. Edit: they did give us a generous discount at the end, after about three of us complaining separately.

Tasty Sunday roast. Good reliable pub fare.

Roast used to be incredibe, however the chef has moved on, they now have a Nepalese chef who makes delicious nepalese food. Just avoid the roast dinner. £22 for a wetherspoons level roast!

Amazing food with best service i have ever experienced. Would definitely recommend.❤️❤️❤️

Summary: Big recommendation if you are tired of the standard pub food (often overpriced) but want to have the pub vibe and a pint! Lovely pub on a side street in Camberwell. It feels like a neighbourhood pub and is less busy than the few others in Camberwell. Also, I found the people a bit more "mature" (less student vibe, more parents with friends and babies). And now the best thing about it - the food is absolutely fantastic! They currently have a Nepalese menu with quite a few sharing platters. We tried out three different ones and were blown away by taste, quality and creativity. We had the chicken croquettes on mango, the lamb meatballs and the watermelon with whipped cream — all three were super delicious. We will come back and try out more dishes, esp. the desserts. All sounded fantastic!

Lovely staff. Good seating. Range of bar snacks

I went twice to have their absolutely delicious Sunday roast. Nice outside seating area to spend time, friendly staff!

Had a lovely afternoon here today. Really attentive staff, lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Will definitely be going back soon!

Nice pub set back from the main road. Drinks were good & food looked impressive - huge portions

A large pub in Camberwell with lots of seating, both inside and outside the pub, very friendly staff, and tasty Nepalese food. A very pleasant way to pass an hour.

Average Sunday roast, very expensive and a little tasteless. Otherwise nice pub and friendly staff.

I was charged £4 for a pint of lemonade poured out of a barely refrigerated 2 litre bottle.

Down hill from our last visit several years ago. Went for Sunday roast. Would say now more pub fayre than gastropub. Roasts okay but overpriced for what they were. Loud music not aligned to family and friends Sunday afternoon discussions. On the positive, served a decent pint.

Lovely pub.. Roast was a bit small for the price !

We had mistakenly got the date wrong for our booking, but they managed to find us a table. Had an excellent Sunday lunch - pork & chicken were both superb with plenty of gravy and lovely vegetables, including a great Cauliflower cheese. Service was very friendly and we didn't have to wait long.

Last night we had another delicious meal at The Crooked Well. Delicious starters including fried squid and burrata with tomatoes. Mains included sea bass and roasted veg and a high quality beef burger. A particular highlight was the cocktails discounted for the 5-7pm Happy Hour (slow gin fizz and a kir with champagne). I've missed this place and will definitely be back next week for the Tuesday deal of pasta and a beer/glass of wine for £15. THANK YOU CROOKED WELL TEAM!

Vegan sunday roast was delicious, only let down being the fact they served it up with a massive (non vegan) yorkshire pudding sat on top of it all. Thankfully I double checked before tucking in!

Didn't see any problems with this pub but I only had one pint🤗

Went for a lazy Sunday evening drinks with friends, and bought a bottle of wine at 840pm, and at 855pm the bartender came around to tell us they are closing!!! Very annoying as we still had quite a full bottle... and no one warned us when we were ordering!! We had not been to this pub since the pandemic, so was completely unaware of the new early closing times. They completely close by 9pm! (Which is quite early for most pubs... even on a Sunday!) A simple 'heads up' to your customers when you see them buying more drinks close to your closing time, is a kind and respectful gesture... and would have shown decent customer service! Really poor service that left us feeling unlikely to return.

Very disappointed lack of basic customer service from female wearing a t-shirt with Arizonal. Booked a week in advance will not be returning. Food ok

Great staff but seems it is now a chain and the food was fairly dull …..

Wow. Such a lovely meal will definitely be coming back here with the extended family. Kudos to the chef 😂

Short menu with good food well presented. Friendly efficient service.

We've chosen this local pub for our Xmas meal, but left disappointed with the experience. In no shape or form it should be called a gastropub. It's a pub that serves food, but gastropubs have almost restaurant like standard, this place doesn't. It has limited menu, no side plates (I'm sorry, but saucer plates for coffee cups is not that). Out booking was for 7pm (normally in many places it's a start of dinner service) and when we sat down we were told there's no more bread and olives left. These are basics that many tables should be able to order. We wanted to order desserts at 9pm and we were told that kitchen won't be making them. According to the website, kitchen is closing at 9.30pm. The only coffee on offer is an American style filter coffee, which again isn't what gastropub should have. The good bits.. Friendly service and a buzzing atmosphere. Food was good, but nothing out of ordinary.

Dropped in by chance and discovered they had Christmas dinner and all the trimmings on the menu. We all ordered it, and it was great. Loved it

Very good Camberwell gastropub. Two cask beers on handpump when I last visited. Interesting Italian cooking from Tuesday to Saturday with roasts on offer on Sunday. The Italian menu normally includes a number of antipasti, two or three pasta dishes and a couple of desserts. We had a delicious pappardelle dish with a ragu sauce made from beef short rib cooked for 12 hours. Good wine list. Lots of outdoor seating.

Booked in for Sunday at 4:30. Wouldn't recommend bothering with the Sunday roast at this time, maybe we are to blame but doesn't seem outrageously late? Only had 2 meat options on the menu in the first place; Beef and Turkey. By the time we got there all they had was Turkey left. Don't know a soul who actually likes Turkey so I can't believe this isn't a common occurrence or surprise to them. Just do everybody a favor and remove off the menu or offer better meat alternatives. Unsurprisingly bang average but I don't lay blame at the kitchen, can't polish a (s**t) and all that. Also ran out of Cauliflower cheese and a couple starters. Trimmings were fine, service and wine all fine. Just not the brilliant sunday roast I remember from a year prior, will look elsewhere from now on.

I was surprised at the very limited menu (a weekday evening). Nor did it seem to me good value. I could not recommend it.

Nice pub, but only one cask ale on tap. Ambience could be improved with re-instating the real fire place.. Staff were very nice!

Very disappointing roast for the price.

Came with friends who had been previously and have to say it was a bit disappointing. It’s a very nice well presented pub but unfortunately the food was very average and not representative of the price point. There were some positives the Yorkshire and gravy were delicious. But the portion sizes were very disappointing, at £23 I’d expect more than 2 very thin slices of beef (same was true of the pork). The menu name drops the very good butcher they use and the meat was very tasty, but just very scarce. The potatoes were ridiculously salty and only 3 very small ones on my plate. The only green being rocket is just weird. All in all disappointing for the amount of money, ended up eating again 45 minutes after leaving as I was still hungry as were the majority of the group I’d come with.

Had my birthday celebrations for a Sunday lunch with friends. We were 20 and hire the private room upstairs. Beautiful pub on the side of Camberwell road. The food was 5stars, very good and juicy roasts and starters. Great service received on the day, and also from Monica the manger that has helped me prior the day. Definitely recommend to pop in for a beer if you are in the area or as place to organizing special meals.

My favourite place in South London.
