A grand old dame of a pub in the centre of Herne Hill and opposite Brockwell Park. In the front, we are large, light and airy around our central island bar. Out the back, we have our large decked garden, with some shade. To eat, we serve traditional pub food with a modern approach. We go for product quality over marketing for our draught and bottled beer collection and have a range of rotating ales. Dog friendly, date-night friendly, spot of food and then drinks for a celebration friendly, bring your folks for lunch when they are visiting friendly. You get the idea - we are quite friendly.

    Great food as always, they sensibly put all tables with babies in the same area so that we could relax and not worry too much about disturbing others. Food and wine were delicious. We’ll be back.

    The back harden is lovely, especially in the sunshine. We had a table booked for a roast which was delicious and the bonus of them having sports, so we could watch the Utd v Arsenal afterwards in the bar was a bonus

    Our reservation had been given to another party so a member of staff had to move the other guest. No apologise or compensation was given for this error. Although we had booked for food as our table was near the bar area we got no table service.

    Roast dinner was very good! We sat in the back room and annoying the back door was being used constantly and the slam was so loud it became very off putting, also very cold in the restaurant with the for being open constantly. Shame because otherwise, everything else was great.

    On a Saturday night the dinner tables are sandwiched between 2 parties, it was way too noisy for conversation, people passing by the tables all the time. Not a well thought out table layout for those eating and those partying.

    Table was full due to rugby - nowhere for us to sit so we left
    The FlorenceResponded on February 3, 2025
    Hi Luke, We are very busy on Sundays and advise to book in advance to secure a table during peak time. We are surprised to see that you felt inclined to leave us a 1 star review even though you didn't even stay - may we please ask you to reconsider this review until you try our amazing roast? All the best, The Florence Team
