Best Family Frendly Sunday Lunch Pub in East Dulwich?


Recommended Posts

The Herne Tavern. No smoking, children's playground, lots of other kids there to abuse ;-)


The Vale, for all its sins, is very tolerant with kids, as is the Crown and Greyhound in the Village which has an outside space, but I don't recall a playground.

The Palmerston is always full of children on a Sunday. Never tasted the roast (I've never made it past the front door on a sunday before feeling the need to eat somewhere else - my hungover, smoke riddled style doesn't sit well with family diners), but I have heard that it is good, and cheaper than their usual faer.

Toss up between the Herne Tavern & Crown and Greyhound (though technically the latter's disqualified as it's not in ED)


Thinking ahead to the summer I think the Herne's going to be doing a roaring trade. Playground and "Teletubby" landscaped garden for the kids, gastronosh for mum and dad.


The Dog is ever popular with families. Plenty of seats outside in garden where you can witness little darlings making mudpies out of mineral water at two quid a glass. No playground but they do have a stock of giant sized board games.


If I had to chose I'd go for the Herne, it's got the edge foodwise and the garden in The Dog's looking a bit tatty nowadays.

If the Dog and the White Horse are allowed in - how about the Rye Hotel? Can get v smokey indoors, but think there is a family friendly bit out the back. Competition for tables can get quite intense and waiting times for food gets quite long as a result (but they are always honest up front about this). Food is excellent - always worth waiting for.
The Star used to be one the best value-for-money eateries in South-East London - but I don't think it opens on Sundays any more and I have not been since they tarted it up (ie. put in a counter and a big pladstic menu, bolt-down furniture, sacked the waitrsses etc)

The rye hotel is great for sunday lunch, no smoking bar area and loads of space.


Avoid the Bellenden Brasserie, ate there last week, ordered burger having checked it was homemade, yes was the reply, it wasnt! frozen bad quality burger with a slice of processed plastic cheese, microwaved chips all bad!!


6 people all refused to eat food, they offered a return visit for free, i think not!!

    • Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guy who posted the rumours for the source of the information? The Crown & Greyhound refurb was a big job - not surprising that it took longer than just a simple repainting. But renovating the Grove would be even bigger because it's totally wrecked, and there's a shortage of skilled labour and much more expensive materials now...
    • Rather bizarrely, I received a text from TJ surgery offering this service. To be clear, no data was asked for in the text so I don't suspect a scam but surely this is dodgy? Where does my DNA info end up and who would have access? I'm going to the surgery on the invite date to ask precisely this.
    • I used Emmaus https://emmaus.org.uk/slc/ to clear my grandfathers house last year. They were great. They all charge for this service so will come and give you a quote first.  
    • Hi, does anyone know of any charities or companies that can come and clear your house to be donated for a good cause? I know the British heart foundation does but wondering if there are others? We are moving overseas and hoping to donate most of our belongings in one swoop if we can! Thanks.
