The Park Tavern, Eltham

Excellent little pub. Visited for the first time on Sunday lunchtime and friendly welcome, good decor (agree that the bar itself isn't quite right), gentle chattering clientele, and 2 nice pints of Theakstons. I'll be back.

The Hare and Billet, Blackheath

Great pub. Definitely worth the stroll away from the centre of Blackheath for the calm and fine pint.

The Princess Alice, West Thamesmead

Simply dreadful. From the pizza boxes blowing across the the car park to the big burly bouncers, to the half-hearted bar staff, and a decidedly mixed clientele many of whom you would not like to meet out in the street.

Food was a limp lukewarm burger and fish which had to go back. Beer not even worthy of a comment.

One positive is at least you can hold a conversation without lots of background noise or music. The only pub for miles in the area, but you would be better off buying cans and a bag of crisps from the tesco across the carpark and staying in the car before driving somewhere decent.
