About Herne Tavern
Smart, spacious family-friendly pub with stained-glass interiors & a beer garden.
Just off Peckham Rye Park, the Herne Tavern is one of Britain's Real Heritage Pubs for its original 1930s interior. There is a saloon bar and a dining room, and to the rear a conservatory leading to a landscaped garden with a separate function room, outside loo and children's climbing frame - ideal for families in summer. Popular sporting events are shown on TV; board games are on offer and sometimes live music.
Taken over by Urban Pubs and Bars in 2024 so any update on beer range would be welcomed please.

Really friendly, professional service. Came for a Sunday roast and had the Wellington. One of the best roasts I have had in the area. The vegetables were really fresh and cooked well, unlike many roasts in pubs where they are bland and overcooked. The wellington was really flavourful. My only complaint was it was lukewarm, but so tasty that I didn't mind. Lovely huge garden which gets the sun.

It's a great pub with amazing food. We have been there for just burgers and Sunday Roast. Both times the food was great! The staff is very friendly. The garden area is super spacious with lots of sitting space, which is very nice during the warm days.

Had a baby shower with over 30 people in the back of the pub garden. The team were very helpful and accommodating in the buildup and on the day itself. The pub made a great venue for everyone in terms of atmosphere, drinks and food. Quite a few of the guests commented on how lovely the pub is and how many nice different areas it has to be in.

I had a selection of 5 small plates plus one schnitzel and my friend had a burger, every single dish was exceptional. The Herne is a very nice place. Good atmosphere, very friendly staff, spaced tables and the best beer garden.

Had my birthday here over the weekend, with over 30 people the staff were super accommodating and really on the ball. They came to check in throughout the night to ensure we were all having a great time. Will definitely be back!
