The Railway Bell, Crystal Palace

Great pub with top staff. You'll never wait long to be served and the quality of the ales is spot on. They have several well placed screens for sport plus they still provide two large cheese platters free to one and all during Sunday lunch. Couldn't be better.

The Commercial, Herne Hill

I've been going to this pub for almost 20 years now though being a Mitchell & Butler pub means that you'll pay through the nose for the drink. The same applies to the food which is far overpriced for what it is. The drink selection is very good with plenty of real ales, lagers and ciders but as I said the problem is the prices. You'd be forgiven to think that civilisation had collapsed when you are asked for �4.40 for your pint of Peroni. The same beer was �3.40 less than 18 months ago. It's hard to believe they can justify putting the price up nearly 1/3 in such a short time. The staff are generally good though a bit more attention could be paid to keeping the tables clean. Used to be the best pub by far in Herne Hill. Sadly that is no longer the case. They need to raise their game.

The Green Dragon, Wymondham

Have just returned from a short break near Wymondham and what a joy to discover this place! Four well kept real ales on pump (I put a dent in a keg of Green Jack's Trawlerboys on my visits) as well as a keg mild. They also stock over 25 single malt whiskies. We had dinner one evening and as mentioned in another review the portions were generous and the food outstanding. The new owners, Justin and David, as well as barman Finny, were very gracious and welcoming. I can't say enough about this place so if you are ever in the neighbourhood you should definitely make it a point to visit. I'll be back!
