The Great Southern Pub in Lambeth

We Specifically went on Sunday to try their Sunday Roast. We had gone to the Faber Fox, which is a short distance from this pub and it was very disappointing and was more expensive then this pub, so we thought we would go for a comparison. We both had the Beef roast so it was a true comparison with the Faber Fox. The beef was slightly chewy and had some fat, however is was very flavoursome as was the excellent gravy. The Yorkshire pudding was large, however it did not provide the outer crispness with a slightly doughy centre. The potatoes were not as externally chrispy as is my preference, but were the best part of the meal. The vegetables were not over cooked, however there was not any sweetness to them. Atmosphere was excellent, Staff were very polite and the family's kept their children under control. I would score this overall 6.5 out of 10, against the Faber Fox which was probably a 3! I reviewed Erins in Beckenham which was an 8 out of 10!

This pub is beautiful both inside and out and very clean the only thing that failed was the Sunday roast I had the beef which was very chewy The Yorkshire pudding was too big and very overcooked that it fell apart when I tried to eat it . Not enough potatoes either. Quite disappointing given the price I paid I expected it to be a lot better

Nicely refurbished Victorian pub with very friendly atmosphere. Great range of beers and a superb Sunday lunch in the menu.

Had our staff admin group lunch here today. Large group and only one of the group had been here before. We were totally impressed with the vibe, the food and customer service. With one staff member serving our table (sorry didn't get his name but has ginger hair!). He was run off his feet and nothing was too much trouble. THANK YOU. We shall certainly visit again. Can't believe this venue is on my doorstep and never visited!!

Nice venue, staff & great food at good prices. Ideal to meet pals, eat steak & drink cocktails, varied weekend lineup.xX

The pub hosted my 60th birthday party last night and it was great. Jack and Dale were really helpful and managed everything really well. The atmosphere and size of the Dining Car area where the party was held was perfect for the 40 people who attended. The buffet, in particular, was really enjoyed by everyone. Also, the 80s playlist suggested by Jack was perfect. Thanks. Nicky

I had a lovely day out with family and the waiters were so nice! And the food was sent out rather quickly! Very pleased The food was beautifully presented too Definitely will return!

My first reaction to the establishment were mainly positive, focusing on the grand features and the traditional theme and aesthetic of the entrance. Unfortunately my positive vibes were short lived after receiving my food. The chicken burger was hailed as being “The best chicken burger in the world” but after tasting the concoction I was no more than disappointed. Butter milk chicken burger? More like breast milk arse chicken gurner. Plus the portion of chips we were given were boarder-line criminal. I’ve seen more potato on a plate than at a weight watchers convention. Won’t be coming back again.

Sunday lunch was good quality, good portion size and was reasonably priced. accommodating for kids and the pub is spacious which worked well for parking the buggy

A guest at a three year old’s birthday bash. Seems like yesterday she was born. Anyway, the staff are always friendly, welcoming and helpful here. A really good team of people. Food (beef dinner for me) was lovely. There was a good crowd in. Mixed ages too which to me shows TGS is working on more than one level. The most important guest (three years young) had a really good time. And got a few claps at the conclusion of ‘Happy Birthday’ from guests at other tables which delighted her! (Good bunch of 20 somethings having a Xmas lunch played along beautifully). I’m told by mam that the TGS were really accommodating and helpful regarding the birthday.

We went to this place with three generations of family for Sunday lunch. They have good classic roasts with starters and a small range of desserts. Nice informal atmosphere and no problem with small children wandering about.

Great local pub. Wonderful food and really friendly staff. Had the new dishes on the menu; sea bass and lamb shank. Really tasty. Nice alternative if you don’t fancy a burger. Can’t recommend this pub enough.

Six of us, from a regular lunch club, met up for Sunday lunch, today. We were warmly greeted and given a table on its own, so we could be more socially distanced. Service was very friendly and efficient. The food was excellent, beautifully cooked and very generous. Between us we had all the Sunday lunch dishes including the veggie option. Everybody was really satisfied, and so we have booked for lunch in a fortnights time. We have had a lot of experience of local pubs and restaurants and this was one of the best.

Excellent service, really friendly. The only tiny thing is they took a bit too long to put the outdoor heating on . Otherwise perfect.

Great friendly pub, the food is delicious and served promptly. The staff are friendly and chatty. Beer garden is sheltered with cosy lighting. We had a lovely evening.

Beautiful renovation of a classic London pub in the first place. Even better in the current climate with high ceilings, big garden with covered heated space, super clean bar and toilets.

Avec Baby! A really good beef dinner today on my hosts. All safe and sound with C-19 measures in place. Staff great and super friendly. Place full (outside).

We have just moved to the area and had been for a drink a couple of times since. The staff have been so friendly every time and the pub is lovely inside. I am coeliac and had seen they did gluten free pizza bases! I...

A friend and I recently visited. When we visited there was clear COVID precautions with sanitation, booking and spaced out tables. They offered the “eat out to help out” but even without this the food is great value for money with great portion sizes and...

Excellent Covid safety measures. Lovely food and a great drinks selection! Would recommend. Good location if you are waiting for a train!

Had such a lovely Sunday lunch here yesterday. It’s so nice (and rare!) to have more than one choice for a veggie roast so that really was a treat. The food was delicious and the drinks selection is huuuge. My boyfriend doesn’t really drink and...

Chilled pub with a lush beer garden. Get yourself a nice Campari or Garden Spritz - very tasty and served up by friendly staff. Yorkie puds were a proper treat! The pub is dog friendly, too, if you want to take your best pal with...

We thought we would try this newly refurbished pub, by Gypsy Hill Station as a possible location for a U3a singles Sunday lunch. We were very impressed. My half a chicken was just right and very tasty. My partners beef was cooked as she requested...

The welcome from Sharn the waitress was warm and she continued to look after us very well. The food was good, reasonably priced and arrived quickly. The Spanish white wine was particularly good too. All in all, it's nice to see that standards haven't slipped...actually,...

I promised after reviewing TGS when it first opened to return ‘sans baby’. Well, I did return but with baby and parents. I was treated to a beef roast and a brownie pudding. Both excellent. The staff were great. My only slight issue was I...

I’ve recently started working in the area and on my way to the station thought I’d pop in ( I thought I’d visited before but that must have been before it was taken over & done up).. it seemed like a nice atmosphere on an...

Decent food, good beer and staff are all sound. Looks really cool as well, great addition to gipsy hill

Briefly, we got a pleasant welcome, the menu is concise, the quality is good, they are dog and child friendly and the prices are sensible. It's nicely renovated and well laid out - they deserve to succeed with all the hard work that has been...

Came to this pub on Sunday and had a great time, I had one of the first roast dinners served and it was really tasty and great value for money. I was served by a northern chap who I believe is one of the managers...

SUPER FRIENDLY Managers Dan&Dale welcomed us on both occasions to a) sample their xmas showcase food for free which lead to our xmas day lunch booking and b)experience their first Sunday Roast 29/09/19 Its a much improved pub re-named + re-vamped perfectly in every way....

I thought I'd try this last evening around 7pm with a friend for the first time since it was refurbished. First impressions were positive it looked much cleaner and fresher than the Gipsy Hill Tavern which it replaced. It was about 3/4 full and seemed...

Popped in for lunch with a mate, and the refurb they’ve done is brilliant. Class. The food was beautiful and the staff we’re friendly. Perfect summer beer garden also.

Popped in as heard there was a new manager and had heard good things. So great to see all the staff so excited to tell us about future events. Great live music and a Gin bar in the garden, can’t wait to see what happens...

My local pub but I was disappointed to find last night that the price of the house draft wine is now £9.90 for 250ml. This is not in line with the prices charged at the other pubs in CP so I'd rather go there!

Daf made some b******g daiquiris, pornstar and espresso martinis, Emma was really amazing and so welcoming. They both made me feel at home and welcome. Sam and dale are also amazing, honestly, this is the best pub in london by far! Definitely will be coming...

Incredible welcome from the staff for our dog but also got us. They got dog treats immediately!!!! Great beer selection, delicious wine. This is the second visit and each time is the same. Such friendly staff!!! The vegan burger is soooo delicious!! The chips are...

Excellent service. Thoughtful, loyal and professional staff. Great food. Decor is well thought out (only gripe was that we couldn’t sit in garden due to cigarette smoke but dining area was lovely). Place was spotless A fabulous addition to our neighbourhood Highly recommended

Popped in here for a nosey (used to come here infrequently when it was the GHT) and was impressed. They kept the lovely tiled floor and have clearly spent money doing the place up. Only stayed for one as was with couple and baby -...

Lovely upgrade- now a totally different place to it's old origin The Gipsy Hill Tavern.Lovely food at standard rate with a super desert range aswell as drafts on tap. Lovely staff too and a massive garden all tidy&welcoming.Will become a local regular for us I'm...

Came in on a Saturday afternoon with the family and dog. Were met with friendly smiles and a treat for the dog. I love the renovation, both inside and out looks great. Especially like the toilets with quality touches and products - so many places...

I was so looking forward to my 1st visit here. Absolutely love the decor and quirky artefacts dotted around.was welcomed by lovely manager,who advised they only had litre bottles of sparkling water. #wasnt that thirsty so had diet coke instead £3.10. A friend joined us...

Great place to watch sport and have a good quality pizza. Gluten free and vegan options available and a great cocktail list

Knightsbridge prices hit Gipsy Hill, someone's having a laugh. Poor interior design, lacking in atmosphere. I doubt I'll bother returning any time in the near future.
