The Dulwich Woodhouse, Sydenham

I concur.

The new refurbishment is nice, however it now feels like a hotel rather than the charming local it used to be. The switching of the drinking area to the old restaurant feels like you are in a hotel lobby and in the way.

The food we had was fine but rather stingy for the prices. I was however slightly mortified by the cheese board for two, which at �8 came with only 7 water crackers, which by my calculation doesn't divide by two and is hardly generous or inventive, water crackers are nice but how about a little variety. And to add insult to injury the cheese came plonked on a load of lettuce....! Lettuce and Cheese? Celery or grapes wouldn't break the bank. All in all a poor effort and well over priced.

This pub used to be my favourite local but it has lots everything that was good about it which is a huge shame.
