The Greyhound, Brentwood

Would say this is more restaurant than pub, however that is not a dig as the food was pretty bloody amazing and loved every mouthful.

Staff were all really lovely indeed and helpful and if it were summer months, setting would be amazing. I went on a miserable Sunday in November, however still lovely. Huge garden and good array of your typical beers, nice wine list too though.

Lovely, and look forward to seeing it again in summer months!

The Princess of Wales, Blackheath

Since I have lived in Blackheath (only for a year) but visiting for many, management has changed a few times and it always starts good but then gets complacent. By far the best located pub in SE, especially summer as you can sit on the heath. I do think it's a victim of it's own success, due to location.

Food is hit or miss, although the last few times I have been, it has been perfect. Often there on a Sunday or midweek and have had various parties there too. The staff are lovely but always understaffed, they will hopefully get this right with new owners! In summer it can be awful, at least 30 mins to get served and then no glass collectors, and when it's packed, it can be unbearable. However, just need more staff on hot days.

I will always love this place and will always go back as it's just lovely when it's good, but just OK when it's bad, which is no bad thing.

The Railway, Blackheath

Surprised by the medium/low score. I love this place. Staff are adorable, food is great, atmosphere is always perfect, location is perfect and whenever we get good weather, they have a nice little roof terrace. Nice live sets or quiz nights, just a perfect pub in my eyes.
