We went for a house Christmas meal and was quite dissatisfied. One of our parties is veggie and we weren’t told that the vegan Wellington had sold out until we ordered. In addition we ordered the whipped feta starter which was no where to be seen. My friend and I shared the roast sirloin and the beef was over cooked and the rest of the trimmings served was cold. My veggie friend ended up just having vegetables with some odd looking burnt biscuits which seemed like gluten free Yorkshire’s however she was discounted for the food. We wouldn’t recommend the half moon for food unfortunately. The staff were friendly but the food and the value for price was disappointing.

Went in for a wedding evening on the 31st October which Matt, Alex and Molly made a great night.the main issue was the miscommunication about the actual space which was supposed to be given to us. There was apparently an issue in commmunication with whoever was there to arrange everything beforehand but at the end of the day Matt made sure everything went as well as could be. Thank you to him and the other staff members who dealt with us throughout the night to make the best of whatever was arranged before.

I hadn't been to the half moon restaurant in a while as I used to be very badly treated by restaurant staff. I decided to bring family members for a Sunday roast as the restaurant is gorgeous and the food is decent. I will not make that mistake again, rude staff, entered the pub and no one spoke to us, no greetings nothing. No smile from any waiter whatsoever and the roast was not as good as I remember. So all in all, many other options in Herne Hill that are better than this one. It's such a pity because eating in the garden in the summer is lovely and totally worth it.

The pub is beautiful and has been lovingly restored. Your drink prices are hugely inflated . I work in East Dulwich and if any of those also lovely pubs dared to charge £7.45 a pint they would get short shift and would probably close. The fact you can get away with those prices speaks volumes about the clientele you have. But it's not for me. It's not Central London. Behave yourselves and get the prices down below £7. Honestly, it's disgusting.

We recently visited London for the first time and stayed at the Half Moon for 3 nights and we absolutely loved it. We try to stay 20-30 min from city center when traveling like this so we experience daily culture as well; if you like to do the same the Half moon is a great option. The train station was 5 min walking and the property it's self was beautiful, clean, and a great atmosphere. The staff made us feel so welcome and you could tell this hotel is a big part of the Herne Hill community. This was truly a great find.

This pub has changed a lot from what it used to be (it even had a boxing club upstairs once upon a time!), but it's still not a bad place to spend an evening on a summer's day. You can hire sections for events. It's a shame the garden closes so early, though.

This is a local for me, I’m in here a lot and it ticks a lot of boxes. The new garden is lovely - such a shame it’s ruined by the amount of smokers who ruin it for those who don’t want to eat and drink while covered in other smoke! I prefer the stance of other pubs that restrict the outside smoking in favour of their diners

I came to The Half Moon pub with some friends to try out their Sunday roast. Between us, we ordered the chicken , pork , beef and nut roast. Firstly, the Yorkshire puddings and gravy were delicious, as well as the potatoes but there definitely wasn’t enough. One of us got 4 potatoes whereas the rest of us only got 3. Two of us had the sirloin of beef roasts and the beef in both of our roasts was tough, chewy, hard and dry. We both had to leave a lot of it behind because it just wasn’t nice at all and when it comes to a roast , the meat is the most important part to get right so it was pretty disappointing considering it’s £23. Regarding the pork, it was also dry but still has good flavour. The chicken and nut roast was also just okay. Overall, the roasts weren’t bad but they also weren’t that great considering the price. I would come back but just for drinks and not for roasts as there’s a lovely outside area. Service was decent too.

Bar guys very lovely, restaurant staff questionable. Rude and discriminatory, after ordering food (which was expensive and dry) we moved to the restaurant section with our food. The kitchen supervisor then came over and told us very rudly to move as we've been there longer than 2 hours without food. There were two other tables which had been there for longer than us and hadn't ordered food. When we pointed this out to the supervisor he was hostile and rude and said he would refuse to serve us. The manager then refused to ask the other customers to leave even though they hadn't eaten and we had. The resturant was complety empty and we were made to leave and it was very humiliating. We were there with our family and newborn baby and we have been to the half moon pub many times for drinks but we have been made to feel so unwelcome. Were all really horrified by how we have been treated.

I had the best best time getting wedding-ready at The Half Moon Hotel! As soon as we arrived we were greeted by friendly bar staff while we had some lunch. Check in was super easy and we were allowed in early which was fab. I was in the Armstrong suite with my MoH, and my parents and family had other rooms (Duke, Schmitt and Scott). All rooms are gorgeous. So unique and lovingly decorated. Armstrong especially luxurious and very very heavenly! I felt like a queen in the room. Breakfast was delicious. So much choice and coffee tasted very good. A nice relaxed atmosphere - good for steadying the wedding nerves! The communication between myself and Ann-Marie was fantastic - she was so thorough and detailed. It really put my mind at ease and the whole weekend stay went so smoothly. There is an excellent hairdressers just outside where I had my wedding hair done - highly recommend called Aitch. Checking out was sad but we have excellent memories and my morning getting ready there is something I’ll never forget. Thanks to everyone at the half moon for an unforgettable weekend!

I was saddened when this pub stopped its long tradition of live music some years ago but understand market forces and hoped for a decent dining experience after staying away for so long. Briefly, poached prawn starter with crab Rose Marie had little or no evidence of crab either visually or taste-wise with one tiny shred of the listed pickled tomato. Veggie burger was tasteless, nut roast was sloppy. Beef roast was okay and the battered haddock and chips was good. When the bill came, there were 4 mysterious strawberry daiquiris on it (£42) which we obviously queried. A new bill was brought to us with the same drinks still on the bill AND some Aperol spritz as well! After some 15 mins the correct bill was brought to us. Get it together guys - on both sides of the kitchen door.

Pub has been nicely restored but it was £7.25 a pint (!) so not a price I’m willing to tolerate. The food was seriously overpriced relative to quality/portion, and there are just so few actual tables for what is a huge space.

My review is of the hotel, and The Half Moon as accommodation for a wedding party. I hope I can help a couple avoid the stress, confusion, and unprofessionalism of this place. A comment I'm shocked I haven't seen about the hotel rooms is that they seem to not have double-gazed windows, or if they do, there is no sound absorption. I stayed in the Grand Suite and couldn't believe how loud the street noise was. Traffic and bin lorries full of crashing glass sounds were shockingly loud. It was commented on by my family as well as the hair and makeup artists that helped me prepare in my room. That aside, I reserved several hotel rooms for our family and ourselves, with different check-in and check-out dates. The check-in process was a huge mess - my cousin arrived first and they gave him the room that was for my sister and mother. After we corrected that, the front desk gave my sister a hard time because they didn't seem to have her correct check-out date. The night before my wedding, I received an upsetting call from the front desk claiming that no one had checked in for one of the rooms I had reserved. I explained that they would be arriving the next morning. And to top it off, there was a huge confusion ON THE MORNING of my wedding as my brother and sister in law arrived to the hotel and the staff told them they did not have a reservation, which they did. It has been almost 1 year since these events and our experience at this hotel is a sour memory from our wedding, something that should have never happened. This hotel is incapable of handling wedding accomocations, be warned. Edit: Hi Anne-Marie, I left a lot of other negative details out of my review for the sake of it's length. It's sad you have to lie about our dog, who was a happy guest at our wedding reception. There are many other reviews commenting poorly on the experience at your establishment and unprofessionalism of your staff.

Amateur hour - come here if you want to be served by a bunch of chumps who don’t understand the concept of legal tender. One star for the tasty buffalo wings. But beware as you can’t pay for the wings with cash or card depending on how low the staff’s IQ is trending Response to Ann-Marie: I didn’t understand how this pub was so highly rated on Google maps. But if you doctor honest reviews … the rating stacks up. Cheers

Visited for the first time and ordered a meal before watching live music. Service was extremely slow. We tried to order the baked Camembert over the app but couldn’t so went and waited ages to order it at the bar. I had the Caesar Salad which was quite possible the worst I’ve ever seen or tasted. Not to mention it was a starter size portion. It had next to no salad leaves, tiny morsels of chicken which you had to hunt to find amongst all the chopped egg on the plate and a very strange ‘uncovered in the fridge food taste with the iceberg lettuce’ The starters all arrived with the main course and the Camembert was nowhere to be seen until we asked where it was and it showed up 10 minutes after we’d finished our horrible meal. I’m Sorry to write a bad review but above is only the truth.

I turned up after travelling for almost five hours on the train and was met by a helpful member of staff when I asked to check in. Due to the layout of the hotel above the bar they showed me to my room 'IRWIN' They quickly explained all I needed to know about my room and left me to it which was great until I started looking for the fridge..... for those staying in the Irwin room its hidden in the filing cabinet. I laughed to myself when I found it knowing I should have looked there earlier. The room was a lot bigger than you would normally expect from those above a pub which meant that a huge bed was able be placed in there without compromising any walking space around the sides of it. Tea, coffee, coffee bags and an espresso machine all provided along with a number of posh looking chocolates neatly placed on the desk. Great touch. The bathroom was a decent size with a shower and a free standing bath. Decor was quirky as in they have used old restored furniture, filing cabinets to give it character instead of standard boring same style in every room. The bed had a firm mattress which is something that I like and the pillows could be moulded into any shape you wanted that made you feel comfortable. A decent pillow always makes the difference. If you like your room to be silent then it might be advisable when booking to ask for one to the rear of the hotel. There is a set of traffic light right outside the front and as its London a lot of people use motorbikes. When they are all stationary at the lights they can be heard along with the odd train passing by as Herne station is right next to the hotel. It wasn't an issue for me as I'm used to this type of noise but just wanted to let you know if its something that may bother you. Breakfast was great. (full English) If there is something you don't fancy from it they will change it for anything else that is part of that breakfast. (Extra sausage instead of mushrooms for me please!) Herne station I mentioned earlier has a direct train into Victoria that takes just over ten minute so close enough for anyone wanting to visit London but not stay in the city centre. Overall a great place and I'm already due to stay there again in three week. I'll be straight to the fridge for my free beer now I know where you've hidden it.

Popped in for a pint with a mate. The bar staff were totally engrossed with helping someone sat at the bar solve a crossword puzzle rather than offering any service. When we finally got served the bar guy didn’t make eye contact or react when we both thanked him. Just a nod would have been nice. We might not have been there apart from the fact that he wanted our money. Very unfriendly.

It’s not super expensive but it is pricey enough that the basics should easily be met within the price point. Frankly, it never feels like money was well spent when one could have done it better oneself... 1. Anticipate food allergies - how hard is it to offer a gluten free option/substitute in a major metropolitan city in 2021? A bit of foresight. Put yourself in your customer’s shoes and start there. Buy in a gluten-free Yorkshire. It’s not rocket science. 2. Have the food - roast lunches in this case - show up cooked (undercooked root veg isn’t a thing anywhere except in farm yards - it’s just hard and cold). If you describe your roast beef as pink on the menu - make sure it is pink, not grey... Potato’s had an eighties school dinner vibe... Likely lethal if thrown... 3. If you cannot get the food out at a quick enough pace, it really (!) sticks in the craw when you start table-turning. After all, it’s literally your establishment’s own fault if your patrons can’t get through their meal in time because the team messed the order up and took an age to get food onto the table. And look - let’s make something clear - it was only carvery for godsake. Very disappointing. Looked like chaos in the kitchen. Servers walking around looking bored on the restaurant floor. Hospitality is a tough gig. You have to love it. There was no love here. I really can’t see us coming back. Ever.

Awesome Roast - like I’ve never tasted before. Visited last Sunday to celebrate a family meal and forthcoming birthday. Have to say the I have never looked forward to a Sunday pub toast but this one was simply out of this world. Absolutely can’t fault it. I had beef and pork. The plate simply looked amazing and when digging in the vegetables were the freshest and tastiest I have had. The Yorkshire pudding was sumptuous and we were also given a plate of the very special vegan puss too. The staff throughout the whole evening could not be faulted. Service with amazing smiles even behind the mask. Well done to all the staff. A place not to be missed and at £16.50. You could not ask for anything more.

One of my local pubs that I have always enjoyed visiting but the service let down our experience last night. We were given a 2 hour time slot which would have been fine if we were told about this when we entered the pub. Not knowing we were on the clock to order the food we took our time (and some of the party were running late) and then after 20 minutes of trying to get a waiters attention we were told we only had 20 minutes left and couldn’t stay any longer. I understand things are time restricted right now because of Covid but if you simply let people know at the start of the reservation about the time restrictions it would have saved on the unfortunate outcome of our evening. Also checking on tables regularly would have helped too. I would recommend the Florence or the Commerical if you are looking for better service nearby 👍

This is a large restaurant and with distancing the tables are well spaced. Ceilings are high with doors and windows kept open. It is not a particularly attractive place but the food is good. Beefburger containing tasty and lean meat with great triple cooked chips. The service was quite slow and you had to get the attention of staff. However it was on a night with the £10 off! There is also an uninspiring outside terrace for sunny days. Overall I enjoyed the experience and the bill for 4 with drinks was £84 including service but with £40 discount.

Full disclosure, I have a background in managing pubs which in addition served food. In brief, shocking service, loads of staff whom are running around & not actually managed by a GM. Thirty minutes for actual service which I had to request twice with a hungry toddler in tow. Bearing in mind that once was from a GM whom did....nothing. The floor was only a quarter full in terms of covers. The food. A veggie option feta and sweet potato pie that was ridiculously small in terms of a portion. Roasted spuds that tasted like they had been sat on a table top for a decade, utterly underwhelming. It says a lot that the head chef has costed up his plates and serves a miserly slice of a veggie pie that in terms of costing is substantially cheaper then the meat cuts. I am relatively local to this establishment and find it ridiculous that Fullers (the owners) spent a huge amount on a refurb, yet they cannot employ a GM whom can actually manage a team of service staff and a kitchen whom can deliver good food, what they are delivering here is not acceptable. In terms of service and quality of food it really is a case of mutton dressed as lamb. Lastly, drinks prices really are beyond a joke overpriced. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

We stayed here for two nights and had supper in-house on the first night and breakfast on both days. We were joined by two family members for the supper and had a good time. Friendly helpful approachable staff. Food served moderately quickly. Good sized portions and well composed and tasting dishes. The much recommended vegan burger was not available nor the ceviche which was a pity but the substitutes were OK. The puddings were good. The meal for four with one (or was it two?) bottles of a very serviceable Merlot came to about £150 total. We the moved to the bar which had an airy and sort of Victorian feel was quiet but then it was a January Tuesday night. The breakfasts were included in the hotel deal and we were almost alone in the restaurant both days, although our slouch regime brought us down well after nine both days. I’m not sure if other options had been exhausted but the continental spread amounted just to a few croissants and pain au chocolat, a jar of cereal, another of bland muesli and a few bananas, some orange and apple juices and what seemed like some diluted cranberry. There were smallish flasks of coffee and water. No cheese or cold meats etc that you would expect almost anywhere these days. We were however also entitled to the fuller cooked options. On the first day I had the blueberry pancakes with slices of banana, but the two pancakes were over two cms thick and had no flavour and were heavy going. On the second day I had the vegetarian full breakfast which was alright but the mixed vegetable mousse sausages were novel but not much fun. My partner had more enjoyable egge benedict etc which well satisfied her. Given that this is a pub with food and no fancy pretensions, our deal was better than lodge options and the Thameslink station was just across the road we have no significant gripes about the food. We would stay again and wouldn’t balk at eating in.

Came here to eat but the food was mainly disappointing or unexceptional. The braised ox cheek should have been falling apart and tender, but was an unpleasant combination of chewy and gelatinous. Ugh. The accompaniments were okay. The toffee sauce with the sticky toffee pudding mainly tasted of butter and was the consistency of melted butter. Generally I expected better given the price and billing. My other half said it was probably all cook chill. I would hope not but I have tasted much better cook chill food if it was. Service was friendly and decent. The location is good, but I'm not sure I would return.

I went for a Sunday roast and the food was great! However our waitress was not. They offer both single roasts or ones to share. When we asked why the beef and chicken roast for 2 was just double the price but the pork (which we wanted) was over double she just responded "I don't know. What do you want?" She then took my wine menu out of my hands before I had ordered anything! Our table was wobbly and when we asked for some paper to put underneath it, she just walked off (we ended up asking someone else) To add insult to injury she then came over and tried to take away our food while we were still eating it. Everyone else who served us was lovely which was the only reason I agreed to pay the 12.5% service charge already added to the bill. I would return but would avoid her at all costs...

Had such a disappointing meal last night at the Half Moon pub. Despite the restaurant being almost empty, the service was poor - the four or five waiting staff spent most of the time chatting to each other and it was hard to attract their...

It's a nice looking pub but the attitude of some of the bar staff let it down. I was waiting at the bar for a drink. The bar waitress was a few feet away, and when she finished serving a customer I caught her attention...

Average food and small portion for a premium pub price. Partner was asked if she had allergies - she has a mild peanut allergy - so they just left half the food off her plate 😂. One way of doing it I suppose, but you’d...

We visited yesterday and left feeling thoroughly fleeced. Round of drinks - 2 pints, a g&t and a tin of pop - 25 quid. Food outrageously priced too including that pork pie - for the price we were expecting it to form part of ploughmans'...

This place has gone downhill. Despite claiming to offer a la carte on Sunday evenings the daytime roasts were pretty much all that was on offer, and what was served was cold and had to be sent back to be reheated. Service was poor with...

Food was ok. Nothing special and not the best locally. However what really annoyed was the poor bar service, inattentive staff and general poor attitude. Not the best bar/restaurant in Herne Hill by some way.

Well, where to start with the cooking and service 'car crash' which is the only way to describe our Bank Holiday Monday lunch. So, let's start with the food since good cooking will always win over poor service - sadly far from the case here....

I have not eaten in the restaurant or used it as a hotel. It is one of my local pubs. It is beautiful with a large outside seating area and great architectural features. A wide range of beers and cider. And thank God! No football...

Victorian Society visit to a Grade II listed pub, with ORIGINAL Victorian interior. If you were a member of the Vic Soc you’d appreciate our excitement: well done Fuller’s for resisting the temptation to rip it all out. And there the excitement ended. Decent service...

Went last night for a meal with friends. Disappointing starter on a cold plate, main course was the smallest, skinniest plaice fillet I’ve ever had alongside a very salty combination of olives and tomatoes- with no carbs at all. My friends had beef and venison-...

I have been drinking at this pub for nearly 30 years and it has been through countless changes. It closed for years due to flooding and like a Phoenix has risen from the ashes. Its a remarkably beautiful pub with a lovely 'snug' with beautiful...

Usually love coming to this pub, but food and attitude sucks. We received our fish and chips in suspiciously record time and it became obvious why. The batter was a dull brown grey colour and oozing with grease - tasting the fish inside it was...

I've come here before and dining room food is good but the barbeque food was cold. I had to go back with my burger and received no apology from the server. In addition the outside bar staff were incredibly slow at serving. Disappointing visit.

Since I was in the area, thought I'd pop in and meet some friends. Service was friendly and cheerful...unfortunately the food wasn't that great. Only had a burger, but it was a bit below average. Nice building though.

Busy pub at 6.30 on a Friday evening. Bartender rather surly unfortunately. We decided to have a meal there last minute. Restaurant staff very friendly and efficient. Had an excellent burger and chips. Good atmosphere and decor. Would definitely go again.

If you like to freeze in a pub on a lunchbreak with cold food and bar srewards that for the most part act like they don't want to be there and complain they're too hot while all the customers look like they're freezing with coats, hats and scarfs on then this is the place for you. I was so cold it was phenomenal upon asking why it was necessary to have the air conditioning on when there was a freezing baltic wind outside I was made aware that it was to keep the kegs cold. ? . Hmmm Yeah right . " what in the basement!" . Shame really as I certainly will not be returning to this one. If I were the owner of a chain that it seems to be closing a lot their branches i would seriously have a word with the management of this one as we all know that the air con doesn't have to be on for that reason and the staff seem to just be catering for themselves instead of their patrons . Who by the way is the reason that they are are even there in the first place. Whatever happened to the customer always being right. Between the glass collecting gruffalo and the failed actress barmaid this place is terrible. I have read all the good reviews and one of them was also for cold food ( yum this cold food is great 5 stars ). My review is however honest and I am hoping that one of the managers, owner or regional manager reads this and can rectify the frosty welcome the freezing air and the overall attitude of the running of this historic establishment. Thanks for looking .

First day in London and our very first meal at this amazing place! The views combined with beautiful food and stunning views of St. Paul's and the city is to die for. Duke was here to make our experience even greater willing to take us through the menu and propose the perfect pint!

I had my 50th birthday party upstairs to EDT. What a great location, great space for any occasion. The team, especially Lee and Jenni were just amazing. The cost is so affordable, food was good and service was 5*. I can not fault anything on the night. Communication at the beginning was a little slow, but we got there in the end. Highly recommend.
