The Telegraph At The Earl Of Derby

This review sums up some visits made since 5th July 2019. It was on my first visit with a lovely friend Rima Bray that the lovely manager donated what turned out to be the best of eighty raffle prizes I collected in SE London a crowd funder for The Hill Station Community Café in nearby Kitto Rd, the prize was a meal for four, I will never forget your generosity for such an important cause. Although the management has changed the chef has not and so far both meals, fish and chips last year followed by Sunday Roast Pork on 23rd Feb 2020 were both so delicious they should be illegal. The roast just blasted my taste buds, the roasted beetroot was a master touch and those roast tatties my all time fave in 61 years. £14 and good value considering the exceptional quality and generous helping. There is always an excellent vegan option. This delightful pub appeals to me on so many levels, even with the fab old fashioned juke box you can actually hear yourself think and talk, this is ideal place to bring your friends for a shared meal or drinks and conversation. Perfect ambience with open fires in the winter, and a fab outdoor front garden terrace for the summer, coupled with lovely staff, customers and a great range of on tap beers at very reasonable prices, what more could you ask for? There are also three nights of activities including Monday Pub Quiz and Thursday Open Mic which from feedback is a wonderful evening. Most positive that there is a large noticeboard which shares events being held in the local community, and the offer of a FREE function room must surely have appeal for clubs and social groups? If you are reading about this fab pub for the first time, do visit, The Telegraph at The Earl of Derby should not remain the best kept secret in Lewisham!

Came in at just after 6 on a Monday. Were the only customers. Ordered food and drink. A family came in with a dog that was constantly barking, ringing throughout the entire pub. Incredibly stressful, for me, and presumably the dog. Still no food an hour later, partner went to get another drink. Then a member of staff came over to apologise for the wait for food and offered us complimentary drinks but as I wasn’t drinking alcohol and still had half of my soft drink, and partner had literally just paid for a new drink for himself, wasn’t much use to us, so we declined. Food arrived about 15 minutes later and was very nice. Family and barking dog still very much in the pub at 7.45 when we left, despite signs saying no children after 7.30. Food was great, but I won’t be rushing back.

Popped in with family for dinner. Super welcoming -even though we were early doors and kitchen not quite open yet. My little boy said the home made chicken nuggets were the best he had ever had. Will return to check out the different menus like pizza night and fish chips. Lovely warm and friendly local pub.

Recently under new management this friendly pub is well worth a visit as things re-open. The owners are great and the atmosphere is very relaxed. There is a good range of pub classics on the menu.
