Food could have been better but was alright for a gastropub. Staff were all super friendly and greeter and served us really quickly!
Found the idea of a live departure board above the bar very fun, also the playlist is excellent
Visited for the first time, and was surprised how nice the venue was, clean, modern, and the bar staff were excellent, friendly, with a superb humour, and wonderful hospitality.
Came along with family to have a spot of lunch, there was a good variety of classics on the menu. Opted for the steak sandwich, and blue and hot fries. Food was tasty and served in a reasonable amount of time, and was fairly priced.
There are cocktails available alongside the standard drinks options you’d expect of a bar, all nicely presented.
The music was also on point playing some old favourites that wouldn’t offend anyone, instead making you wanna sing along. But fear not we refrained.
Live sports are available to watch, and if you happen to be visiting and getting the train from West Norwood station, right adjacent to the pub, there is a live feed of train times displayed above the bar, so you’re unlikely to miss your next train! A clever touch!
We had a really lovely time, thank you 😊
It's my local so I am going to happily declare my biased view, but it is genuinely a great pub considering its location limitations. A far cry from the old days as the Norwood Hotel, the beer selection is great, friendly service and lovely, easy-going atmosphere to catch up with friends. They even managed to fashion a half decent beer garden. It's one of the best places to get a Guinness too, clearly a well looked after keg cellar!
