Hand and Marigold, Bermondseyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The main downside of The Marigold, for me, is that the regular barflies like the sound of their own voices (bad languange is not an optional extra) too much and assume that others will too.
The main plus side is that it never seems to get busy, so it is our default boozer when everywhere else is busy. While this may seem like a backhanded compliment, we often enjoy our visits to The Marigold. It's a shame their solitary cask beer comes from the Greene King range, therefore it is often bland. But maybe that's appropriate....

As has been said before, a really good mix of old school Bermondsey characters and professionals in their thirties in suits Good atmosphere, mood lighting cheap prices and a cracking pint of Guinness. Will return.

This pub now serves real ale, and has done for several weeks.
They only have one hand pump, but it changes beer weekly.
They have a Wii in the corner, fruit machines, poker machine, two Sky TVs, a dart board, and a Juke Box.
They have a good social atmosphere, with a football team, and low stakes Champions League Poker on Thursday nights.
I like the place, and even though I live over a mile away, and there are other pubs nearer, The Hand and Marigold has become by local.

Decent Bermondsey hostelry. No real ale.
Friendly enough.

The Marigold has only recently been renovated and it has made a big difference to its appearence. They have pulled up the carpet and removed the pool table, polished the floor boards and changed the bar. In all it now feels more open an brighter without loosing all its traditional pub charm. It has not become a "trendy" pub by now means. The staff and clientele are plesant but it is still only draught beer on tap, no real ale. If you have visited this pub before then I recommend having a look again. With Sky sports, board games, a wii in the corner and poker thursday nights it really is a good place to go for a quiet beer.

Small street-corner pub straddling the border of 'renovated, within a spit of London Bridge station, populated by young professionals' Bermondsey and old-style Bermondsey; this one appeals more to the latter and has all that you'd expect from such a pub - a regular clientele, affordable pints (keg only, no handpull as of 2 weeks ago) and Sky sports. For the former, the nearby Garrison, Woolpack or Hartley may be a better bet.
It's also clean and, on my last visit, the regulars were friendly enough (I think it may have icked up some trade from the demolished-for-flats White Bear). A solid 6/10, would gladly add another 2 for better beer choice.

This seems to be a comfortable enough pub for residents of the local council estates. Otherwise you get strange looks translating to "what are you doing in my lounge?".

hi there to anybody out there!!I am looking for my dad I'm not sure if he managed this pub or not about 9 years ago . His name is John Alexanda Mclean and he is an irishman. The last i see him he was managing a pub in bermondsey and i cant remember what it was called. I can remember twin sisters drinking in the pub that were good friends with him. Please if anybody has any information please email me Thankyou .Marie Gibson (nee McLean )

Very bad service, the staff were very extremely indifferent towards us. Beer was OK, but was not a nice atmosphere. I asked one Irish lady for some change for the pool table and she looked at me as if I was something she had scraped off her shoe.
A couple the customers seemed to be on something. I will not be vising there again.
