The Earl Ferrers in Lambeth

This place is the absolute best! Ask for his pies: Owner is an absolute treat. Definitely do not hold it against him that he is a kiwi 😂 So accomadatinh and wonderful

Came in for a drink last weekend for the first time and it’s become my new local favourite. Lovely staff and atmosphere.

I recently visited The Earl Ferrers and was completely taken by the charm and warmth of this delightful pub. What sets this place apart is not just the cozy atmosphere or the excellent selection of drinks, but the heart and soul poured into it by Duncan, the friendly landlord. From the moment you walk in, Duncan makes you feel like you're part of the family, greeting guests with a smile that's as genuine as it is welcoming. The pub itself exudes a traditional vibe, with a comfortable and inviting interior that makes you want to settle in for the evening. Whether you're there for a quiet pint or to enjoy the lively atmosphere on a busy night, The Earl Ferrers caters to all. The selection of beers, ales, and spirits is thoughtfully curated, ensuring there's something for everyone's taste. Moreover, the food is a delightful surprise, far surpassing your typical pub fare, with each dish prepared to perfection and presented with care. But, it's the personal touch from Duncan that truly makes every visit memorable. His knack for remembering names and faces, along with his willingness to go the extra mile to ensure his guests have a great time, is commendable. Whether offering recommendations from the bar or sharing a story, Duncan's hospitality is unmatched. The Earl Ferrers is more than just a pub; it's a community hub where friends meet, families gather, and newcomers are welcomed with open arms. Thanks to Duncan and his team, this pub stands out as a beacon of friendliness and quality in Streatham. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone looking for a genuine pub experience where they're treated not just as customers, but as friends.

Loved by many people far & wide ...has to be the best food & atmosphere in London by miles .

An absolute gem of a pub! Both staff and customers are wonderful, and being greeted by Duncan's smile is a highlight :)

What a pub! Full of atmosphere, good food and beer! Staff is also very friendly. Great!

This is a great pub for a good pint and the music here’s excellent! I’ve seen some amazing bands play her and joined in on a few jam sessions. Great people and the locals are really sound. The landlords alright too

Found this little gem behind the high road. Managed to find a pretty rare bourbon (Eagle Rare) and didnt have to pay that much either for it. Very laid back place

Good food, the roast spuds were AMAZING

Sunday lunch it’s hard to know where to start. Food roast beef !!! fat in a bowl of dish water 2 spuds 1 piece of beef fat 1 bullet hard Yorkshire at 20 quid a head.

Loved it. A proper local, with a mixed clientele, friendly staff and good snacks.

Great pints and wing place super

We live about 7 mins walk away- this local independent pub Earl Ferrers has been fab in lockdown (takeaways - go to their facebook page to find info- Facebook message them or email/ call) Now we can eat and drink there..

Such a wonderful pub with the most amazing landlord&lady. Great food, great drinks. Takeaway or outdoors for now respecting safety of everyone x

Cozy pub with a real fireplace! Only complaint not enough chips. Was told that it was plenty to share but in reality just a small bowl enough for one.

A decent pub near Streatham station. Decent beer, good choice of wines, pretty cheap prices compared to other places close by.

Popped in one Sunday whilst passing through and we were so happy we did! Amazing roasts including the holy grail that is the veggie roast WITH veggie gravy. Yum. Meat eating other half said his pork roast had the best crackling he has ever tasted. Great selection of beers and ciders and don't even get me started on the cheeseboard! Oooooo and the music! Great tunes by Donny Hathaway, James Brown, Shugie Otis and Doctor John to name but a few. Add to all of this the most amazing hospitality, a real fire, board games and basically you will never want to leave. Unpretentious and completely heartwarming. Thank you.

I had a fantastic evening meal on a Thursday night at this pub with my wife and son. I loved the fact that it was away from the high street in a quite residential area. The food was really nice and made freshly. The fish and chips dish had a lovely piece of cod in a crispy batter served with fresh home made fries. Fantastic. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the staff were most welcoming. The barman allowed me to taste the foreign beer that I was not familiar with and I was impressed so I ended up ordering it. The prices were very reasonable and we will definitely dine in here again.

Fantastic Sunday Roast! Homemade yorkies, generous meat portions, fresh veg and proper roast potatoes. Warm welcome and good beer!

This isn't the first time I've had Sunday lunch here and it sure won't be the last. I'm not sure that's in the Gravy but it is fantastic. A. whole leg of chicken with herb, roast carrots, parsnips and plenty of roast potatoes finished off with fresh French beans - lovely. Small Yorkshire pud and some dinners got an artistic lavender flower through it. Do not miss out on the Bloody Mary too. Finally, the friendly local pub atmosphere is rounded off by chilled tunes that brings back 90's Ibiza memories. Very dog friendly too.

A local pub tucked in on a very quiet street corner, hidden away from the high road, super friendly landlords, very relaxed atmosphere, craft beer and cider available on draft, the food is good to very good but menu items are often unavailable and food service can be quite slow at times, will be a 5 star review otherwise. I always stop by when in the area.

Nice local pub - great staff good atmosphere. Beer selection good. Menu reasonable and not overpriced.

Fantastic food and great atmosphere highly recommended

Excellent pub. Great beer. Seek it out, it's worth it.

Good food, good cider, and first rate staff. Happy to call this pub my local.

This was my first visit to the pub since living in Streatham over half a century ago. The beer is good and the place was, thankfully, still thriving. Bar staff were very friendly and deserve success.

Lovely hosts will be going back xxx

Amazing food and friendly local vibe. The staff are very accommodating and they put on regular music nights and all day parties which are a highlight of the summer.. Feel very lucky to have this as my local.

This is a community pub in the true sense. Away from the main road and with traditional decor and a good drinks selection, it's ostensibly for locals but visitors are made welcome too. The menu is small but perfectly formed and the burger is excellent. The rock music can be a bit loud at times but that's a minor issue. It's well worth a visit.

You could say i’m biased as it’s my local. But it’s my local because I deliberately moved here and the pub was a big part of the reason, seriously! As a pub to go for drinks it’s great. However this is a food review so i’ll focus on that. We tend to have burgers, fish and chips, jerk chicken or whatever sounds good. All are really tasty. Fish and chips this week had good home made crushed (not quite mushy) peas with a hint of garlic. Fish was well cooked and tasty. My wife had a chicken dish that was really good. Wines tend to be £25ish for a good bottle but they also do several by the glass. They’ve always got guest ales on and typically 3 draft lagers. It’s a really relaxed place with loads of locals and plenty of people who travel to get there, like I used to! They sometimes have music on but not often so do check if that’s not your thing. Enjoy!

Great place, live music, friendly atmosphere. Feel like at home there. :)

Down to earth, today, homely, inclusive.

This was a surprising place. Slightly tucked away but worth finding. Landlord is a nice chap, good staff too. Nice beers, very friendly. Loads of people were eating and food looked nice but I did not eat there. I will definitely go back....soon!

Very friendly local, excellent food and brilliant bar staff. The best pub in London as far as I am concerned.

Excelent place food and service!!

This friendly little pub is tucked away in the back streets of Streatham and is run by a lovely Spanish couple. It serves a range of tasty tapas and delicious pub lunches

Sunday lunch was delicious, 3 of us had the pork and the other had the beef. Lamb was also on the menu We really enjoyed the meal,Good big servings, reasonably priced, great service with great atmosphere.Brilliant little pub, will be back next time we're in that area.

What can I say. Good beer and cider food was very good. Well worth the few minutes extra walk from the high street

Great atmosphere, delicious homemade food with an imaginative menu. A real hidden gem! Also, the best roast I have had in a pub. The beef is always on point and the roasties crispy and delicious. Yum. They also do loads of fun events, have a great wine list and make a good cocktail!!

This is a really great little pub. So good it doesn't actually feel like a London pub! Great atmosphere. Small but well cooked menu. Lovely staff. Really friendly. Great selection of wine and beer - what's not to like.

Been here a few times. Great staff and Landlord. Ales kept nice and food very good. Look forward to next lunchtime visit for that very reason! Good portions on the Sunday Roast. Shame I ,or perhaps just as well, don't live in the area as I fear I may frequent it too often! Mmm feeling a roastie coming on next Sunday!

Un local muy agradable y acogedor, con una verdadera mezcla de clientes que reflejan la diversidad de Streatham. La comida es buena, aunque yo sólo he comido dos veces, así que quizás no estoy en la mejor situación para comentar. Yo soy realmente rota si creo la decoración hace o se rompe. es ecléctico en el mejor de los casos, en el peor, pero desaliñada de cualquier manera limpio y agradable. Londres no necesita otra pica Carvery Roast" - probablemente no es definitiva y por eso me encanta el Earl Ferrers.

Hands down the best roast I've ever had in a pub. Perhaps slightly over seasoned for some palettes but not mine. Absolutely perfect in every way. They also have Timothy Taylor Landlord on tap!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Puedo ser subjetivo, ya que este es un pub local, pero es un gran lugar. Llamado en la última semana después del trabajo y tenía la carne al curry que acababa de cocinar - fue realmente deliciosa. también hacer increíbles Almuerzos los domingos. Mejor pub en Streatham: parece un pub del pueblo en la ciudad.

Hemos estado viniendo aquí desde 2009. Tomó la decisión de comprar nuestra casa cerca cuando estar fuera con una pinta de Wandle. La comida tiene mejor y mejor a lo largo de los años, es realmente gourmet ahora. Pero es el ambiente que más nos gustó de todo, realmente es una comunidad local.

Needed supper so strolled up to the Earl. Great welcome and sense of fun. The curry was both generous and very tasty. Pear tartine and ice cream superb. A good thing it isn't my local or I might move in!

One of the best pubs in Streatham. And they do a good music quiz once a week too.

Lo siento, pero como residente local este sitio ha ido aumentado de cuesta abajo! Solía ser un fresco pequeño pub que era familiar con excelente comida. Ahora se ha convertido en un club nocturno en el fin de semana con música sordo toda la noche,...

Great choice of beers with amazing food in an historic pub, not stating itself as a gastro... dog-friendly, a vegan chef and pub manager, service with a smile: what more to ask?Oh yeah... a very enjoyable garden, now with Italian food that goes well with the local organic beers

Tucked away in residential streets behind the Sports & Leisure Centre, one has to know its here - unlikely to find it by chance. Good community atmosphere, and decent selection of local cask ales as well as more standard keg. Food was average pub grub, but liked the pub itself more.

This is the finest 'other' pub in London, and I don't know where the other pub is. I am here now with The Film And TV Company, 10 people, after a hard days filming and the food is completely unbelievable. If these guys mention 'ribs' you are gonna need to give up eating for a week before at least. The starters are to die for, the beer is outrageous, the company grand!And we have been here 2 nights now and it just gets better and better. Bring a bin sized 'doggie' bag or 6 other people you will never eat it all! Where are you? You are missing out big time, and they have TT Landlord!!!!!I have to go into a corner and savour the tastes and experience we have all just had. Now if only they had a few rooms, heaven would truly be here. Yes, really, mind how you go.Ps Phone first, like a sensible person.... thanks

I have been meaning to visit this pub for a while as everyone I know who has been rates it highly and I now know why. Took my sons on spec as we wanted a relaxed lunch and somewhere to enjoy the sunshine. Luckily we were early and able to get a table. We were made to feel very welcome by the friendly staff from the start and the pub itself has a warm, inviting atmosphere for not only the locals who were in but also the firstimers like us. The Sunday menu had 3 roast choices all of which were ordered by those sitting close by - looked and smelled delicious. It was a difficult decision but we chose from the other options - jerk chicken, beef brisket and sausages. The beef served on the bone was the star of the show. Amazing, melt in the mouth. Home made chips too good to leave even though we were all so full. The portion sizes are extremely generously priced for such tasty, fresh, quality produce. All food requests (quirks!) were accommodated without question and the staff were friendly, happy to see us and we will certainly be back for more of everything the Earl Ferrers has to offer.

Our son and daughter live near the Earl Ferrers so we drop in quite often. There is a good vibe to the place and you're made to feel welcome whatever your age group. On our most recent visit we had burgers and a platter of Italian cheeses and meat. The food was excellent, and good value. There's always a good choice of decent beers as well. It's a few hundred yards from the A23 but well worth seeking out.

We don't often use the Ferrers, but when we do we always enjoy it. This pub may be small in size but the staff and atmosphere make it a worthwhile visit. It has a great friendly community spirit. One of Streathams hidden gems.

Excellent service from tasting differentieret beers to having something to eat. A little strong for our danish taste but the staff then brought milk and a desert on the house. Visit to obtain good service.

TripAdvisor has the hours as 5am to 12pm whereas is 5pm to Midnight.Excellent local pub with good food. Always had a range of guest ales for the serious beer drinker as well as good cocktails, a decent wine list and a 'better than the average pub' menu. Not a chain a genuine one off.

A lovely off road pub. It is very freindy & cosy. It has craft ales and an interesting sourced menu. It involves itself with the local community. A lovey pub.

Great little spot nestled away from the high road. Good food. Live music is decent.

Shhhh.... don't tell anyone about this pub.

I live in streatham and i like to try new places.After reading all the reviews of this place, i had great expectations.But in the end was a major flop.We end up waiting 1h and half for our order, because a big group was in the pub and the staff didnt warn us that food might took more than 30 minutes.The music was too loud, and because the music was too loud everyone had to scream to get them heard.Not saying dont come here.But i didnt had a good experience in this pub.

One of the best little pubs i've ever been to. They only have a limited little food menu which changes every couple of days but they do it VERY well! i'd rather choose from 4 dishes but know that they will all be good and this is the case here.Always a great choice of beers on offer which also change very regularly and for the later bird there's always something going on. Recommend anyone to hunt this place down and give it a go.

This pub is slightly hidden from view in Streatham, but definitely worth the extra few minutes walk to find it. It's small, but has a lively atmosphere. The food is great and the music is perfect for a fun night having fun and chatting the night away.

Firstly, usually coming here is really pleasant. On the whole, it's a lovely pub (if not a tad cold in the winter...).However, we came in for a quiet drink on the Sunday after Xmas at around 3 pm and it was completely ruined by ridiculously loud music, not even while songs, they seemed to just play half of some....This is a pub which is really good for a catch-up with friends but we couldn't hear each other and left after 1 drink. We will probably return, but on an evening when we expect music to be loud and for there to not be any children running around....

We have eaten here many times over the years and the food is always good and the staff very nice. Service is reasonably quick. It isn't exactly a cosy pub (with its high ceilings and mostly open-plan arrangement), but it is a nice place to be - and it is especially nice to sit outside in good weather.

I have actually found a real local on London.... I hopefully will have many more pints it his beaut of a pub. Small friendly .. I haven't tasted the food yet but I will get back to you about that

Had Sunday lunch here last weekend. While the meat was cooked well the food was warm rather than hot, Yorkshire pudding overcooked. Decided not to send it back as didn't want it microwaving and drying out. We called before going to check if the vegetarian option had dairy in and were told no, when we got there we found it had cheese in and there was no real alternative and the menu was much smaller than the sample one on the website. It would also help if they put some prices on the website. The food was overpriced for what it was. I guess it would be OK for just a drink but won't be bothering to go back there.

This could be a lovely place for a drink but the evening was spoilt by knowing we had been overcharged. We did query it and we did get a refund. However two other members in the party had also experienced this twice before so it is a common occurrence. Always query the price.

Great Sunday lunch. Meat was delicious and filling. Been back for evening beers and loved how you could chill outside on the benches. Great themed nights and proper community inclusion vibe about the place. Keep upnthe great work guys!

Had a super time last night. Terrific helpful friendly staff, great music, lovely atmosphere and very mixed.

Without giving them any notice we bombarded the pub when they were actually closed, most places these days would turn people away, however they kindly invited our fairly large family of about 30-40 in after saying fair well to a family member, they staff were very sweet n kind.

These guys are amazing. We turned up at their door after a funeral, and they were closed, but they opened their doors, let us in and couldn't do enough for us! Cannot thank them enough ... Cheers guys :-)

Based on a recommendation we were looking forward to a really great family meal. The ales were well kept so a good start and the menu looked OK for a pub, so we chose two beef and ale pies with mash, peas and gravy, plus two cod, chips and peas with tartare sauce. The fish and chips arrived first, and the person who recommended this was obviously embarrassed. The portions were mean to say the least, a very tiny piece of fish, very few chips and a little pot of mushy peas with the tartare sauce in an even smaller pot. The pie and mash arrived a few minutes later and even further embarrassment. The cod tasted fine but gone in three forkfuls, one third of a normal portion, the chips were typical oven chips, and just seven, the peas were cold and the tartare sauce tasted watered down, like a poor salad cream.The pies appeared to have been cooked in individual dishes and tasted great, but the mash would have fitted in an egg cup, the little pot of peas were the usual frozen ones. Another real failure.An attempt at a desert was a waste of time, three Sticky date puddings with ice cream. Three spoons arrived, one soup spoon, one desert spoon and one serving spoon. Appalling service.As another person mentioned, the heating seemed to be broken and staff couldn't sort the open fire.Overall - Do not eat there - Wear extra clothes - Just have a drink and eat somewhere else.

My girlfriend told me about this local pub, which was recommended by a friend.. so of we went, when we got there I instantly loved the place.. shabby chic, very organic !! Loved the food and the bar staff .. But the establishment was freezing !! The central hearing was not working and staff attempted to light the real fire .. But sadly.. with no success ... I would love to return there, but with the temp set to dip further .. I may have to wait until Spring!! But would love to go back to a roaring fire this winter .. !!

We moved to the area a year ago and this pub has been a regular choice since. The menu is quite limited and generally excellent, whether it's for a post-golf snack (pint of sausage rolls) or a meal - and the selection of drinks is varied (real ales, decent lager, good wines).The menu was refreshed a couple of months ago and the new burger is outstanding. I've sampled that, the veggie burger, the fish and chips and most of the starters - and I rate them all highly. It's generally busy, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Sometimes there are some kids and dogs running about, but they're generally under control.In all, I really like this place...

A lovely little pub tucked away in a residential area. The service is always good and the food very tasty.

The very good is rating this as a pub that does food. Service can be slower than one might like as the kichen has one cook. However food quality has always been excellent. The pub feels like a local pub should be, it's just off the beaten track, has good ales and friendly, if sometimes rushed, staff.

We went here for dinner with some friends last night. Menu was fine - a bit of variety which was good. In the end we all went for something different - burger, fish and chips, hot dog and pie of the day. I had the fish - the fish was absolutely tiny however it did taste good. The peas were fine. The chips were like eating a packet of ready salted crisps they were so overdone!! Awful. Service was so rushed had to wait 15 minutes at the bar to place and order. I felt so sorry for the American girl behind the bar she was trying to tend the bar aswell and waitress. No one ever asked us if the food was good just swiped the plates which were pretty much all half full. Such a disappointment as we moved to the area six months ago and everyone was telling us how great it was. Perhaps it was just an off night and they had a poor chef in the kitchen but I honestly won't be going back again. Cute place for a few drinks though so maybe thats the saving grace.

We came here for a chilled Saturday night supper as we'd never been before. It was really refreshing walking into a relaxed and quite quiet pub in the backroads of Streatham rather than the usual busy places on the High Road. The service was excellent - really friendly and helpful when we had some questions about the menu etc. The pub itself is decorated thoughtfully with atmospheric lighting, board games around the place, an upright piano and a bookcase! The food was delicious on a fairly small menu (but I always like that). Two of us had the burger which was very good, one had the fish and chips - also delicious and the other had the pulled pork which was gone before I could even have a taste it was that good. We also started with a camembert and whitebait to share which was more than enough. No room for pudding! Will definitely be coming back again!

This is a wonderful find, the staff are friendly & knowledgeable about their beers and so far have done a good job of directing me towards things I like. They have a good range of bottled beers/ciders and some interesting London ales on tap. The pub is small with quite a village feel, so if you're coming for food I'd recommend booking. The Sunday roasts are yummy, with beautifully cooked vegetables and decent gravy. They seem family friendly and have a range of themed evenings, like a curry night and my favourite "cheap date night". There's also a decent range of spirits, particularly rum, gin & tequila.

Don't know what the previous reviewer is talking about! This is a great local pub!! Feels like you're in a village somewhere. Tasty beers and very friendly staff. My guess is, they've been a bit snobby and rude themselves if they've not had friendly service. We have been several Saturday nights and never seen any children. Not tried the food yet so can't comment on that. They also play brilliant music which is a rarity here in London :)

I usually go to the railway, but thought we'd try something new. the food was disgusting, (half the menu was off), and there were children running around the pub at 10pm screeching their heads off using it as a playpen. Bad all round. Will not touch this place with a barge pole,disgusting and rude staff!!! As we were the only people in here on a saturday night, that prtty much speaks for itself--- blahhhh. And £11.50 for a fish burger (they'd run out of tartar sauce),that was wet and undercooked, with a mouldy bun.

very nice food and beer in a friendly pub, busy but very good ..found it on a website and was not dissappointed

How could I never have been to this fantastic , friendly pub in Streatham before. 9.30pm on a Saturday night wanted to while the evening away at a cafe/bar on the High Road but as they were quiet they were closing at 10pm, very disappointed, but decided on a whim to go to the Earl Ferrers just round the road and what a great decision as it is a gem of a pub. Have not eaten there yet but definately will go again for a meal .We really enjoyed the fantastic atmosphere created by all the people there and the friendly bar staff. By far the best pub I have been to in Streatham in all my many years of living there. Would definately recommend it to everyone. it was a very balmy evening and we were sitting outside which added to the great night.

Been an occasional visitor to Earl Ferrers and there is always a friendly welcome. It is really a hub of the local community and often puts on events to interest everyone. The ales are very well kept, lovely choice of wine - the rioja is especially good value. I have tried a few things on the menu and everything was well presented and very tasty. Overall I would heartily recommend it

Had been meaning to eat here for ages. finally did so this Bank holiday Sunday. The pub was busy but not unpleasantly so . Lots of young couples and young families. We had starters , me fried whitebait , she baked Camenbert and the Sunday roasts - me pork belly , she roast beef. All generously portioned , crackling on the pork to perfection , meat succulent, beef nicely rare. We didnt need the additional Cauliflower cheese and couldn't manage a pudding . We were able to eat outside on the street pavement due to the blessing of a sunny day , the first such bank holiday in living memory! A bottle of white Rioja and a glass each of chardonnay was drunk with the meal. The total for two was £72 . not cheap really but well presented a vey tasty. Glad we could eat outsie though as I found the resonance of the pub too loud for me - bare boards and loudih music. But thats me. would recommend . The pub has alot going on and going for it and makes a good addition to the eateries of the area. Glad I went.

The Ferrers is my local and is one of the reasons we decided to move to the area. It has lots of community stuff going on like book groups, Halloween parties for the kids and the highlight is the street party in September which is held on the street outside. They have a god choice of wine and they have beers from local breweries. Is definitely worth a wander off the main drag in Streatham to have a beverage or two.

Went for Sunday lunch there, people were nice,place is nice, but sorry food was virtually cold as were the plates it was served on.
