Been here a few times now. It's a nice pub, shame its in the middle of a main road. Not easy to get their if you don't drive.
HUGE beer garden gerat for the summers, really comfy non-smoking area, nice sofas etc. Some things need a few touch ups, but they just got a new manager, so maybe things will change for the better. Quiz nights on tues and sun are popular too!
Typical Ember decore and menu.
OVERALL: A NICE PUB FOR A QUIET RELAXED DRINK

Nice pub... interesting style. It's kept the features of the old house/builsing.. low celings, fireplaces. There are lots of little areas makes it feel like your own private area. The staff are friendly too.

The Alleyns Head, West Dulwich
Drank here quiet sometime ago. It is OK. An Ember Inn, so ember inn prices. The pub is huge!! Very Spacious and relaxed. Quiz nights are pretty cool

Cute little pub with traditional feel, but quiet over price (�9 for a burger!!). The staff were very friendly and very cute aussie (i think) made me smile!
Nice pub for a quiet drink.

The Railway Hotel, West Wickham
This pub is alrite... standard Ember Inn prices etc. had a refurb recently.. can't say it's done much. The atomsphere I feel is awkward. You'll find chavs and metrosexual men and the girls come across very bitchy. I had a very uncomfortable experience here. Other than that usual Ember extra apply, such as quiz nights.

Hey been quiet a regular here. Quiz nights are usually quiet fun (won a few!!). Generally very friendly atmosphere (compared to another pub in the chain - The Railway, West Wickham) Drinks and food prices are Ok, had a few meals never needed to complain.
In the winter there are big cosy fires and in teh summer a huge beer garden.
Overall - Good Pub

It's alrite here... had a make over... some good tunes and selection of drinks... Had a good night.

I Love this place!!! Always guaranteed a good night. If you love a mixture of music on a night out... don't mind having a laugh and being around like minded people. Saturday is the best night. In the main room its recent music followed by a live band who rock then cheesy classics! Can't go wrong with summer of 69 and queen when drunk! In the other room its dance/trance/RnB/House and Garage... Soemthing for everyone! No bad entrance fee.. drink prices could be cheaper. Staff are friendly and so is the crowd, the majority of the time.

use to be alrite... now... can't stand it..., too expensive and a nightmare to get served!!

Follows the cheapy trend of wetherspoons. Had some strange rule for a fri/sat night once. No guys unless in a couple. WEIRD! Don't know if it still applies. It's alrite music-wise for a boogie.... BEWARE of the sticky floors!

The Goose on the Market, Croydon
Cheap and cheerful pub. Younger crowd in here. Doubles here are mega cheap, great place to drink if you strapped for cash and in the town centre.

Nice family pub. Have a good menu and for families a kids menu and play room and playground. Nice for a quiet mid-week drink, pool tables and quiz machines too.
