The Gristmill Inn, Sydenham

I couldnt disagree more with disgruntled22. I was there on the night in question the brawl he mentions was a customer who pushed another customer and was immediately asked to leave by the landlord,which he did do, end of 'BRAWL'! It was half 7 on a Friday evening and i would suggest there are better places to hold a 1 year olds birthday other than a pub. He made a big deal out of a small incident and was offered a half price meal next time he came. You would find it hard to find any pub that hasn't had some kind of incident but in the 6yrs i have drank in the grist i can count them on 1 hand. The Rodens have done a great job of a pub that 2yrs ago was struggling. It does great homemade food,live music and the best carvery in the midlands. The chances of trouble in the Grist are slim and the chances of you not enjoying yourselves there are even slimmer!
