The Kentish Drovers in Southwark

The staff here are very good and work hard. £1.99 is too cheap for a good pint of real ale. Lowering the price to drive sales isn't a good idea. People who drink lager are rarely going to buy ales just because they are cheaper. But real ale drinkers are happy to pay more if it's good quality.

I have recently returned to The Kentish Drovers after a year as my last experience wasn’t the best. I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was great, food was very nice and the staff where friendly. I will definitely be returning soon.

Good choice for breakfast. Served quickly and with a smile - can’t complain!

Best value for money in Peckham by a country mile. Food and drinks always hit the spot!

Great staff make you feel at home love the banta

the reason i gave this pub 5 stars is purely because of the staff they could not do enough for you they are friendly and make you fell so welcome its a weatherspoons so cheap drink and food always good

This my local and i love this place , my only problem was a women called HAZEL she is very rude ive never had any problems in this wetherspoons i love all the staff but hazel is a very rude member to the point i dont think i would enjoy my time in there while she is present

Staff could be more cheerful! The Foods n Drinks is fairly good!! Overall it is a good atmosphere 👌

Very rude lady today working. She slammed my friends drinks down on the table and they spilt. Also didn’t deliver another friends drink when he ordered it with his food. I understand having a stressful day at work. But as someone who also works in a VERY busy pub that also does live music events I would never EVER allow my stress or mood to effect my service and therefore the customer. Have some grace and decorum

Decent spoons, unfortunately they don't do mixed grills or any steak I don't think, avoid walking round the back of the pub is a bit of a no go area

Wasn't in there for long but I liked it

Always great spoons. But there is always a huge wait to get a drink. The staff are wonderful.

Lovely staff served by Mark and Theresa! Very welcoming hospitality will be coming back again

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SERVICE 😍😍 MARK is amazing, friendly, incredibly welcoming and attentive and makes me feel looked after as a guest every single time I visit!! And I can not ever forget the fabulous COMFORT!! 🤤 she lives up to her name put it that way! Friendly, kind, lovely to speak to and warm, welcoming and attentive! They are both truly awesome and BOTH need a raise! Comfort and Mark truly make a HUGE difference to this organisation! You are lucky to have staff members who genuinely care so much about the customers experience and the food and drinks they serve! Thank you Mark and Comfort!!! 👌🏾 And thank you Wetherspoons for the excellent service and the best cocktail on the menu (The Cut Strawberry Daiquiri)!

Very nice and you could get some Belgian beers.

Very affordable Wetherspoons with exceptional staff who are friendly and happy to help. Quick service. The Wetherspoons itself sometimes isn’t that clean but besides that it is a great place with lots of chatty people to keep you entertained and a cheap drink!

Staff are very nice and professional.

Was very baffled when I came and they only took cash... other than that vibes were pretty dead, but the staff were nice

I used to avoid this place as the decor and premises is pretty drab, however the food is as good as it gets from spoons, so it's now my regular spot for a cooked breakfast. The food and service is very consistent and good here which is what is best about this place.

Friendly staff, cool place for friends and families,

Great friendly staff and great food recommended

Amazing place with lovely people. Food is great compared to its price

Always a great time, had a lovely evening and the service is always super helpful, Kat in particular helped me and was super speedy pouring shots for us all even though they were all baby guiness😭

This place is great we had a lot of nice food and drinks recommend

The food is tasty great value for money the service is excellent

Standard spoons, you can smell the piss on the steps down to the toilet. Affordable, nice enough staff, old clientele in the day and can get a bit livelier in the evenings. little outdoor area which now have ashtrays although the no smoking sign still exists.

popped in on the 11th, staff were all really very lovely and helpful :) made it such a welcoming atmosphere

Breakfast took a while to arrive & wasn't hot. Drinks very reasonably priced. Staff helpful. Gents toilet could do with cleaning, repairing (toilet seat) and topping up with toilet paper more often.

Nice Sppons with facilities, disabled access via code panell is also fire escape which both lacks a door bell for both ingress and exit, meaning the door is locked for in or out and staff required. ( spoken to manager and know the issue) good deals on beer and food with friendly staff

Was brilliant apart for disabled toilets smelly and urine on the floor

Went in there on Christmas day. Staff were fantastic couldn't do enough for you

Yes it was a pleasant experience the staff were very polite and cheary service was excellent a very big 👍thank you for your hospitality from Ron the beachcaptain in London keep up the good work

The Kentish Drovers is the place to go for cheap prices on beer and food. The food may not be gourmet but it is filling and decent, and the drinks are cheap and even cheaper when you combine them with a meal. A good option for a cheap night out

Great service, and a good selection of ale

So, i have been a regular at this pub for a while and was shocked by staff's behaviour on my visit on the 30th November. first issue was staff member with attitude getting a drink order wrong 4 TIMES!! and making smart comments to another member of staff, but things got a lot worse. The assistant manager in charge was then aggressive and abusive to me in front of a table of friends I was with. the problem was one of the regular drug addicts that are aloud in the was kicking the machines as the manager was no where to be seen and the other team members where ignoring the situation i asked her to stop, she then got abusive towards me and homophobic comments (which i had to call the police for). once she left i sat down, the assistant manager came over and started going off at me, my friend told him he was out of order as he swore at me, i tried to remind him about customer service which he didn't like so he got a cardboard cup and told me leave the premises putting me outside with the druggies that had been asked to leave for coursing damage to pub property. Strange that when this person who has been on shift before when trouble has started and i have helped diffuse fights by closing and locking doors suddenly wants to preach about getting involved? if he wasn't on an extended break off the floor maybe he could have sorted it out.... or not as the members of staff that where on shrift are known for letting the drug addicts in and turning a blind eye. did i feel safe in the pub that night .......... NO.

Stayed for 10 nights at nearby Travelodge and came here for breakfasts and nighttime drinks/food. The staff here were all really friendly and made us welcome. The general atmosphere was always pleasant - sometimes lively but always good natured and the staff obviously have built up a rapport with regulars. Everything Spick and span and food always presented well. May not be the biggest shiniest Wetherspoons but it’s now one of our favourites - and we’ve visited over 600. Well done to all.

Great spoons , with a friendly vibe , staff on the money ! It's a must visit if I'm in Peckham.

Pretty nasty pub, tired decor and slightly smelly. Cheap though and friendly staff

All are welcome from all walks of life

Good experience of a busy but friendly place.

Enjoy the drinks! They have manager special as well!

This pub was so welcoming and comfortable We had a fantastic dinner the food was great. Mark the barman went above and beyond and even went outside to buy vinegar for our dinner as there was a shortage whilst waiting for delivery which we were very appreciative of. Thank you Mark. The service was outstanding and we will definitely return, thank you for having us, high recommendation for Mark and his amazing customer service!!!

Good atmosphere. Really good ales at fair and affordable prices.

Came here for breakfast and dinner, never had such a friendly welcome anyhwere. Staff smiled, said hello, couldn't do enough for us! Eggs benedict was great and also the ham egg and chips I had for dinner. Nicet atmosphere in the evening.

Reasonable priced drinks. Good ambience. I like it

Cibo riscaldato. Chiedi la cottura media dell' hamburger e ti arriva bruciacchiato. Tavoli sporchi e appiccicosi. Pavimento sporco. Male.

Excellent large pub with great staff and excellent drinks. Me and my Golf partner had the pizza which we would recommend and would try other dishes. The opulence of a mid sized ballroom in Peckarm. Highly recommended

Couldn't find a clean breakfast menu at 9.30am. Took it as a sign to go somewhere else.

Buen ambiente, calidad y precio

In het centrum vlak bij de bibliotheek ligt deze pub. De pub is aangesloten bij Wetherspoon. Aantrekkelijk geprijsd met allerlei eten en drinken deals of een combinatie hiervan. De gasten bestaan uit locals en de populatie is zeer divers van jong tot oud. Prima sfeer en vriendelijk personeel. We hebben er lekker gegeten en hebben er daarom op de volgende dag ook nog een prima Engels ontbijt gehad. Wat ons betreft zeker één aanrader.

A pure hell hole. Plus a drug den where the customers do drugs in toilets. Openly and sell them when mentioned to staff they basically said that’s it’s Peckham .. I the place needs a clean. The place is filthy..the worst place I have even been .some of staff are ok. Others just pure rude

Great branch and cheaper from other ones Great food / great service and the place itself is great :)

Cheap beer and polite staff in this large pub. I can't complain.

Great breakfast but their other food is now terrible across the boatd

I just had "Just a Burger' and a carlsburg (Pint). Just over a fiver. Great value Great taste, Great staff. Thanks Spoins

Nice, cheap n cheerful traditional pub, staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast is great value.. well worth a visit ..

Very friendly staff- chilled atmosphere, quick service, good food & drink at affordable prices.

Very friendly and lovely atmosphere had breakfast Sunday and Monday ..amazing fried eggs 😁

Pretty standard for a Wetherspoons...quick service and reasonably priced...always plenty of seating.

Well it's a weatherspoons pub... to elaborate affordable food and booze for peckhams current demographic population. Service with a smile sometimes.. lol It has a decent beer garden To me, it's a pub with the catchphrase like the pub in the soap "cheers". You have to check it out to understand it. Enjoy!

I ordered a meat feast pizza and it tasted fantastic. Much better than I was expecting. The person who served me was also very pleasant and made us feel welcomed. Someone else came around later to ask if our food was okay and he was also very pleasant and made us feel good. Overall a good experience!

The Kentish is a relaxing place at times with loving staff all the time ❤️

The nicest staff I've ever seen

Great staff, nice food, nice drink, cheap. Wetherspoons blueprint.

Didn't enjoy Breakfast, Bacon dried up, Eggs Over cooked and cold, dont make sense i was one of first three customers in at 08.00am., and i think i was given leftover food, cos everything is cold, if it was fresh it should be at least warm. Had to go to work directly after no time to ask them heat up food, or ask for fresh bacon and eggs, cannot be late for work. will think again before going to a weatherspoons for food again? Dissapointed.

Good pub nice and friendly service and staff very welcome and helpful

There was or seem to be 1 member of staff serving. The pub was full because Arsenal were playing Man City. That meant I only ordered 1 drink.

I Visited here this morning for Breakfast around 08:30. When I walked in there I was hit by a strong smell of Urine. I looked round & expected the place to be clean. The booth I went to sit in had peanuts all over the seats. I moved to a table the table was extremely sticky the chairs were material & all of them were stained. I decided to save myself from an upset stomach & left.

The staff are always friendly & polite. The food is good & hot.

Used to go to hear when I used to live in Peckham in 2010 to 2012. So I always like to revisit it for nostalgia sake

Decent Wetherspoon’s on Peckham High Street. Seven cask beers on handpump when I last visited including a black IPA. Incredibly cheap real ale; my pint was £2.26. A few tables outside some of them covered. The name of this pub recalls the inn which stood on the other side of High Street. Dating from at least the late 1700s, it was named after the cattle drovers who passed through Peckham on their way to Smithfield Market.

Quite a different spoons - inside and out. Nothing like the usual spoons frontage and the inside suggests an old building with a different history. A small outdoor area off the rear. The pub was clean and tidy and well patronised when we were there with the usual seating options available although mainly low tables and booths. The staff were friendly and the Guinness was excellent as was the Doom Bar

Good solid traditional pub with a sound mixed local clientele

I visited here for breakfast a couple of times, and it was really good, and endless coffee really steals the deal. The only trouble with it is the idiot customers, one of which had a lame attempt at chatting up my GF (only when I went to the toilet) and on another occasion an absolute idiot who thought he was something special giving it large to his very embarrassed GF about what a tough guy he was...and this was at about 0930 . Gotta love the good folk of Peckham. Otherwise food and the staff were both good.

Well run and fun spoons. Excellent, breakfast.

Very quite, could do with a revamp but nice

Called in for lunch on a freezing cold January day. The pub was warm and welcoming. I had a small pizza, which was delicious. My husband was equally impressed with his food option and he loved his pint of Plum Porter. Knock Wetherspoons all you like, but for just over £13 in total, great value for money. If I had to criticise anything, it would be the toilets, they’re long overdue a makeover.

Ha 1.99£ muffin breakfast became the best food I had in the UK, thank you.

Very friendly staff and very delicious food

Buen sitio para comer, muy acogedor.

Really good wetherspoons pub. Great value Food and beers.

Theresa was absolutely wonderful. Her smile and kind words made it an extra special visit. Thanks for being awesome!

The roast beef was tough as old boots, the gravy was more like jus and not much of it. Overall a major disappointment.

Un muy buen lugar para ir a tomar una cerveza o comer algo. El café tiene refills ilimitados y los precios en general son muy buenos. Altamente recomendable

Nice atmosphere and staff very friendly and helpful, it's worth a visit 🙂

Nice place to go for quick pint or some decent food.

Surely a spoons doesn't need a review and yet here you are.

Apart from the menu not being catered for people who have not so good eyesight, the atmosphere is great, the food taste good, prices are the same as anywhere else, overall a decent experience.

Great pub food and drink good quick service. Chris and his team are great.

Came by for a drink and a late dinner on a date, there weren't any clean tables, the menus were stuck to the table, it seemed to be low on stock, they didn't tell us when last orders were going and they had constant crashing of glasses. We did go quite late in the day but they were still open for an hour or two more after we left.

Staff good, food good, location good. Tables & other surfaces were very sticky. But value for money keeps regular customers happy.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I was served by such a lovely and cheerful man when I came in to have my breakfast here this morning. I noticed he was so welcoming and kind to all the other customers as well, including one man who seemed quite vulnerable. Honestly really heart warming to experience, especially in a place like London which can so often be rather cynical - give him a raise! 🥰

Rude staff Dirty toilets Food not good

I really like this pub and their wings. Whenever I'm there I always order wings. Great place to hangout and have drinks. They don't take any reservation also service is bit terrible 😅😅 but I still like this place because they serve cheap drink and food.

A bit like the Shining. It's not good. It's not bad. It's Spoons. It won't fix all your problems, but it'll put them off til tomorrow.

Equality day sweet burger, chips & pint £6.49...... thank you Tim....

Good food staff friendly good atmosphere

Visited Peckham first time for several years. Went to several shops on Rye Lane then in to Kentish Drovers for quick pint before catching train home. Served straight away. Many older customers, like me, but really good atmosphere. Manager and all staff very friendly. I highly recommend this pub. 10 out of 10.

A bit dreary inside and beggars kept hassling people at their tables for money. But there is a nice garden area and the drinks are incredibly cheap (which makes up for the rest of it)

Friendly and the food was really nice
