About Earl of Derby

Quiet back-street pub with a series of unusual weekend events from comedy to wine and food tastings.

Tastefully refurbished Victorian corner pub taken over by Parched London in June 2023. The spacious, muted interior consists of two rooms connected by arches at each side of the bar. The front room has a semi-circular bar counter, jukebox, and a mix of high and low level seating; the rear room has mainly standard tables and chairs. There is also a large upstairs function room and outside seating to the front under large canopies. The kitchen is run by Gengelly's with a menu focusing on pies, chargrilled meats and fish, weekly specials, and Sunday roasts using fresh & sustainable organic produce. DJ nights on Friday and Saturday.

    Exactly what I want from my local. Comfy and recently done up, the staff are friendly and welcoming. The vibe is relaxed and the food is cracking. Give the leek bhajis and chips a go. Outside space as well for the warm weather. Also a good place to bring your dog!

    Good Telegraph Hill, New Cross pub about 10 minutes walk from Queens Road Peckham. Only one cask beer on handpump when I last visited but I am assured they usually have two or three real ales. Outdoor seating in a garden to the front. The pub has recently reopened having been closed since August 2022. It has been acquired by Parched and tastefully refurbished. Food is provided by Gengellys and is made up of pies and chargrilled meat and fish. All of this has certainly had an impact. Before the pub closed there were usually only a handful of customers. When I visited on a Wednesday evening…
