The Dolphin, Sydenham

I've had to revisit my rating for this pub; previously the service was awful, but perhaps in the past 6 months they've had enough feedback to make a few changes.
Staff are now sharp and helpful. The Pride and Landlord I've had recently have both been decent pints, as with the Guinness.
Yes, it's gastro-esque, but when most of the other pubs in the area are different to this, is that a bad thing?
Personally, I would avoid weekend lunchtimes, when the rugrats tend to be prolific, but the Dolphin has a nice atmosphere, a mixed clientele, and serve a good range of beers.
