Slightly bias as work for company, but just had the best roast. Potatoes were great and large portion. My son said ‘mum, the wings have chicken on them!’ . Sadly quiet as Lambeth Country show on down the road so atmosphere just picking up . Very happy and full . Thanks guys

Food was delicious! Fantastic service. Would highly recommend. Daniel was great from start to finish. He is very efficient. Can clearly see everyone there are very hard working, making all customers feel comfortable from the welcome.

This place is a great place to have your Sunday roast and if you have allergies the staff are attentive to your requirements. My Son has multiple food allergies so eating out is often a challenge. However this place is the best in West Norwood so far. The staff here clearly work as a team. Compliments to the Chef and kitchen staff. The food is tasty and fresh. Thank you for a great Sunday dinner, I will definitely be back soon.

Visited for the first time, and was surprised how nice the venue was, clean, modern, and the bar staff were excellent, friendly, with a superb humour, and wonderful hospitality. Came along with family to have a spot of lunch, there was a good variety of classics on the menu. Opted for the steak sandwich, and blue and hot fries. Food was tasty and served in a reasonable amount of time, and was fairly priced. There are cocktails available alongside the standard drinks options you’d expect of a bar, all nicely presented. The music was also on point playing some old favourites that wouldn’t…
