This place is absolutely a hidden gem. I visited this place plenty of times and never disappointed me. Staff is lovely - friendly, helpful and I believe happy to work in this place. The Waverley Arms have such a good deals. Tuesdays burger and pint for £12 !! Steak night Wednesdays for £16 !! And much much more :) I’m so happy I discovered this place ! greetings to all staff !

My new fave pub in Nunhead. Really lovely staff and the food is incredible. The roast dinner sells out so I would recommend going early. I would recommend trying to sticky toffee pudding as well as it’s very tasty.

Good late Victorian street corner pub close to Nunhead Cemetery. Only one cask beer on handpump when I last visited (but two pumps). Lots of outdoor seating to the side and in the small garden at the rear. Very friendly and helpful staff.
The pub has an brilliant mural on the rear exterior wall which is part of Dulwich Picture Gallery's Outdoor Collection. The mural is Jimmy C's interpretation of part of an early C18th painting called The Resurrection by Sebastiano Ricci.
We had a joint 50th birthday party in the function room at the Waverley last Saturday and Douglas and his team did a tremendous job from the moment we dropped in for a pint to look at and book this venue a few months ago. On the day itself all the staff were friendly and helpful and really went out of their way to help make our event go with a swing. Natalia did a fantastic job of keeping the drinks flowing and looked after us all evening. The buffet food we ordered for our group was delicious, lots of options to choose from, hot and cold with something for everyone. There was a great range of beers on tap at the bar including some well kept Guinness, I can also recommend the 'Mermaids Tipple' from the cocktail menu. The space was perfect for our party and I can't recommend this pub highly enough.
Good neighbourhood pub with a good selection of beers and pub grub! Staff were all super nice too.
They’re dog friendly which was a huge plus…
Just left after having lunch with a friend. Excellent venue we drove past and decided to try, glad we stopped. Food was excellent, venue clean and good atmosphere. The one staff we encountered was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place for the food, great staff and the venue itself. Keep up the good work in these hard times
This place is great! We booked the function room at the Waverley Arms for my Dad's wake and couldn't be happier with how it went. Douglas and his staff took great care of us and the buffet menu was all delicious and plentiful. Good beers on tap too. The whole booking process was really easy as well and Douglas was quick to respond to all our questions. Thoroughly recommend!
Fantastic place to relax and enjoy a pint or two!

Definitely recommend.
Decided to walk to an appointment from Queens Road Peckham to Forest Hill. Found thus marvelous place. Great comfy settee, friendly owner and just a great pub. Seems they have a lot going on here in the evenings. Pub quizzes + lots more. What a find.
I went there for drinks after a long walk. We started with nice cocktails and then the food menu got us hooked. It was delicious and a great experience. If you are in the neighborhood, go and try it. If you're not around, well make your way there!
Ate here yesterday. Wife had the special of pan seared salmon, wild rice and sweet potato fries and I had their signature burger. The food was amazing, a real surprise for a local pub and they fed us - the portions were huge! But the reason I'm writing this review is to praise the staff. There were 2 guys working there and I cannot remember a time where staff have been more attentive. The welcome felt genuine and they seemed to have a knack of making everyone feel special including kids and dogs. Can't recommend highly enough!
We had some starters to share and a couple of drinks, sat outside as we had a dog with us. Service was great, food was delicious and I want to try the Sunday roasts, they look incredibly tasty!!
Staff are lovely. Really welcoming and helpful. They make the place feel like a real community pub.
Really welcoming atmosphere for a wake; sensitively managed and fantastic service. Ideal for celebrations of any kind, and very conscientious around supporting this event.
I had my husband’s SURPRISE 60th birthday at the Waverley, in the function room. Doug and the staff were amazing. So helpful and welcoming. The food was so delicious and everyone loved the food. Made my husband’s birthday so complete.
Roast here was stunning - great quality and portion, with free range meat. Nice setting and lovely staff, who were very dog friendly and welcoming.
Popped in for a quick drink, and the barman was so friendly and welcoming. He brought out a jug of cold water and ice, which we never asked for, so that was a caring thing to do!
Nice neighbourhood pub with good pub food menu. Friendly service. Very enjoyable for a pub lunch after a walk in Nunhead Cemetery
This is a prized local so this might come across as biased, but it’s a great pub. The atmosphere is friendly, like a community and the food and drinks are decent! The staff are always, always, always lovely and accommodating. There was also a huge group for a party and they consisted of dogs, prams and children. So appreciate the staff’s flexibility and patience!
Shout out to Douglas and Alex, who when we came in earlier, were juggling a lot of customers! Thank you
