Ok, I did finally eat here, after having many many drinks, and I was nonplussed with the vegetarian foot-long dog. It was dry and tasteless (and no, this is not what I'm used to from vegetarian food. I was a happy veggie for 7 years.) I asked for some jalapenos on the side, to liven it up, and it took about 10 minutes for them to arrive, only after I asked another server if they were on their way. Sure they were busy, but good customer service was not happening. So that was a bit of a let-down. But, I will give the food another try. My friend had a pizza and I was wishing I'd ordered that! I asked, and the dough is *lactose free*, so I'm happy about that. (I often have cheeseless pizzas - don't knock it till you've tried it!) read more

My husband and I arrived here on Monday, May Day. I was impressed with the spacious interior and the menu, although annoyingly different from online, is even better than on the web. There's even more veg options than posted online which pleased me. We walked to the bar and spied the mango cider on draft and the bartender was very good at convincing us to get a pint each! :). It's delicious! A bit sweet with a lovely mango aftertaste. We then ordered a ton of food. Monday is 2 for 1 burger night. I got the veg burger and my husband the beef. We also ordered two pizzas for takeaway: the Brooklyn (I think that's what it's called? with shrimp) and the vegan artichoke and squash pizza for me. I also got the quinoa salad and beetroot and coconut soup. I loved my soup, served piping hot and incredibly creamy. I was too full except for two bites of the burger and got the rest for takeaway but was quite happy with what I had. Very tasty. The quinoa salad was full of quinoa and served as great lunch leftovers for the next two days! I LOVED my vegan pizza. I was worried it would be too dry but the flavour combos with a kick of spice made it fantastic. My husband and I both agreed his pizza tasted better the next day! Dinking a star just because my husband was severely disappointed with his beef burger: he said it tasted like something out of the freezer and he preps better burgers at home. read more

I had no hope for this place but it proved me wrong. Taking over from the tragic predecessor, the Goldsmiths Tavern that once had a great history in the area crashed and burned in its final leg, is the trendy, chicke, clean New Cross House. There was no way a city bar was going to survive in student dominated New Cross. The prices would be too high, the food too posh, the place too clean. But none of these things have alienated the munchkins and indeed brings a new crowd into the area. This is now the go to destination in New Cross and rightly so. It's huge and caters for all. Inside has clean tables for dining and booths for drinking. The wonder begins outside with a large beer garden, again with ample seating, and what I can only describe as a two floored out-house. Even in the rain, you can be outside, but inside. May this place continue to prove me wrong. read more

There I was thinking the Rose Inn was the best pub in the area, one with a beer garden and pizza oven ... and along came the New Cross House with an even nicer beer garden and more pizza. What's going one?! This seems to be the default destination for Goldsmiths students and the place was teaming with people on the night of this year's MFA Private View. It has a cleaner, gastro pub look and feel to it and I was actually quite surprised that we weren't all heading for the rougher looking New Cross Inn across the road - students' tastes and budgets have changed since my days ... Beers, wine and food were all lovely and there was a great vibe all around. When it started raining everyone piled into the small upstairs area overlooking the beer garden - definitely my favourite feature of this place, it has a real fairytale feel to it. read more

We stopped here for roast dinner one Sunday afternoon, and I was impressed. My dining partner ordered the chicken roast dinner and I ordered the beef, so we could try both. Both of the meals were quite good, but I preferred the chicken (largely because it came with stuffing). Both meals included roasted carrots and parsnips, roasted potatoes, gravy, some veg that consisted of green beans and chopped brussel sprouts, and Yorkshire pudding. As mentioned above, the chicken roast dinner also included stuffing. Both meals were hearty portion and delicious. The roasted parsnips were some of the best I've ever tasted, with a nice char occasionally adding a bit more flavor. While I can't attest to anything else on their menu, if you are nearby on a Sunday, I recommend stopping. read more

DUDE, just went to the craziest quiz night (Wednesday) and I swear to god my life will never be the same. Charlie R is LEGENDARIC, and quite possibly the greatest quiz host there ever was. We didn't win, but we sure did come out feeling like the LUCKIEST team in the world. GO GO GO read more

Best vegan pizza! I am not even a vegan, but go for veg options. Pizza is good, drinks happy hour is also good haha. Nice chilled place. Wine is not bad unlike other pubs. read more

Table football and ping pong... This place has without a doubt the best beer garden in South East London that I've been to.. A large, spacious two-storey barn with wood burning fires and sofas, this is a stark contrast to the previous management's urine fragranced shed. The drinks, whilst pricey for the area are high quality, with an excellent selection of ales and posh lagers. All of this is complimented by a huge open kitchen complete with pizza oven. The food is modern and fresh at agreeable value. They also do take away on the pizza. The only flaw is a table service system that has gone awry on more than one occasion. In my opinion they'd be better off taking orders at the bar. I'm going to go and think about Pizza now.. Good night... read more

Definitely the 'nicest' place in New Cross, i.e the one to take your parents to after graduation. The drinks ARE quite expensive, but if you're looking for cheap beer the very similarly named New Cross Inn across the road is where you should be going. The food is reasonably priced for what you get, although the ordering system is a bit strange (tab/no tab, you MUST order drinks at the bar but you have wait for someone to come to your table for your food order- sort it out!). They've got board games and Wi-Fi if you're just there to kill time- nice beer garden too! read more

I really really enjoy hanging out at New Cross House, as a couple of young professionals rather than students we wanted to find an eatery where we can sit and chill out. The beer garden at the back is ace, with a little covered area if you wish to brave the weather. The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming and they serve English Ales which pleases the boyfriend rather. In terms of food they serve both wood fired pizzas and a range of other treats. I have tried the sweet potato burger, the ribs and also the pizzas and they are all really really well cooked and presented, with the portion sizes being very generous. A pizza is about £10 a glass of wine around £4.50 and £4.00 for a glass of ale. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a pub in New Cross. read more

This place is symbolic of the gentrification of the neighborhood but I guess I am gentry because I liked it. Very spacious and excellent attentive service. Massive menu with wood-oven pizzas, lots of hot dogs, wings with different sauces--massive menu. Might not have a tremendous amount of unique character, but the food was good, service was great and atmosphere was very good. read more

Came here one Sunday looking for a hearty lunch with a friend who had just ran her first half marathon (my boyfriend "ran a marathon with his eyes" whilst searching out the crowds for her, so he was super hungry too...) She lives nearby so this is her local. On a Sunday they don't offer their pizzas which I understand is on their menu during the week, but rather they offer a Sunday roast menu, amongst other things such as burgers, salads etc. It is a big pub with lots of tables and a nice outdoors area. The toilets are disgustingly filthy - seriously really gross which is a big let down in a pub which is otherwise nice & clean. I know nobody likes cleaning bathrooms which other people use but come on!!! The drinks prices are average - actually I think fairly expensive for the area, as is the price for food, however, the potions are big and the food is seriously delicious so I can't complain - I'd rather pay more & made sure I got good quality. I had the chicken roast. I was starving but it was so much food I only managed half. A friend of my friend asked for a doggy bag for my plate so he could eat it for his dinner later on - ha. Service is really slow - so come before you get to the gnawing your arm off in hunger stage. We spent all afternoon here slowly drinking pints & having a big old chat, and it was a lovely place to do it in. Will definitely be back (even though the bus between mine and new cross takes about ten thousand years) read more

The drinks are a bit more pricy than other pubs in the area. The food is probably the main reason you come here. Their pizzas are made fresh in their wood fire, stone oven. They have a great selection on offer, hopefully catering to all tastes. They have an extensive outdoor seating area, with an interesting place to sit upstairs for some food or quite drinks. You get some students, but not as many as the Hobgoblin down the street. It's a great atmosphere and if you're in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by for some food and maybe a drink. Perfect for a chilled summer evening with a few mates. read more

Really sad cause it used to be my favourite venue.. Since the pub company was bought by the youngs group everything declined. I was there on a Sunday for a pizza, but they couldn't do them. Fair enough, but they also ran out of all their roasts apart from the vegetarian option. When I ordered a hotdog, they came back and said I couldn't have one cause they also ran out. Now I understand sometimes things happen. But, when you then refuse to make me a side salad that's on the menu, because the chef doesn't know how to make one... That kinda crosses the line.. Only get 2 stars for your beer selection and your awesome tree house out back read more

I spend a lot of time in this pub and love it! Definitely my favourite pub in NX! Amazing garden and loft area, lovely food, friendly staff and generally nice vibe to the pub. They have barpass which is useful when it gets busy, as well as Secret DJ which is a nice touch! Definitely recommend! read more

My favourite pub in New Cross by a country mile this. Great staff, great brews, great patio area, but most importantly - SUCH GOOD GRUB. If you feel as strongly about halloumi as I know, the deep fried, bread-crumbed halloumi dippers will change your life. Life changing. Yes I said that. I mean it. read more

Visited here recently with a group for Sunday lunch. Love the look of the place, light and airy with plenty of seating and friendly service despite being a bit slow on occasion. A pretty varied menu and I was expecting pretty good things considering the price of the dishes. Sunday lunch starts from £11 for the veggie option and £13 for pork, beef or chicken. Other items included foot long hot dogs and fries for £7.50 and beer battered fish and chips. We ordered a mixture of dishes including the three different meat roasts, nachos, the hot dogs and the fish and chips. We didn't have to wait long as it wasn't too busy. My spicy butternut squash soup with ciabatta was nice at £6, but the roast was somewhat underwhelming. The nachos were tasty and a thin crispy garlic bread mopped up the remaining chilli. It's definitely not the worst meal I've had, but with New Cross being the poor man's Shoreditch and despite it being my local, value for money it ain't, and I left pretty disappointed. The quantity if that's what your after is there, but my roast lunch comrades were certainly not impressed. Venture out a little further to East Dulwich and you'll find something little more on par for what you are paying for. In future for a Sunday lunch I'll be heading to the better value Amersham Arms down the road for a fab roast, which also happens to serve my drink of choice; fresh mint tea with a drop of honey. read more

The staff are ok though the manager is a total gentleman. Good place to go with a few friends for pre drinks. The food is great. Have a beer and shoot out someplace open later but can't fault it for what it is, a decent evening pub. read more

This isn't the most fun pub in New Cross but it's the most... respectable. A good range of beers and friendly service but most importantly some really great pizza. I can particularly recommend the one with squash on it, just the right amount of oily salty badness. read more

I have been to the New Cross House for food about 15 times and I have to say that the service is terrible. The barstaff are just that, barstaff, and seem to have no training whatsoever when it comes to waiting on diners. They all seem to be stoned half of the time, forgetting to put orders through or forgetting to bring us drinks. They have kept me waiting for up to an hour for my food on more than one occasion. Once or twice they have gone the other way and brought our main courses out just as we were beginning on our starters, so that the table was cluttered and the mains went cold. So why do I keep going back? Because the food is exceptional. Their range of stonebaked pizzas with exotic toppings are as delicious as they are creative, their full menu is ambitious, inventive and above all, tasty. They have a great range of desserts as well, including a calzone filled with chocolate ice-cream, marshmallows and bananas. They also have some great beers and ciders on tap and the barstaff are all really friendly, if almost completely inept. I will be going back and I will be amusing myself at their poor attempts at serving us our food in a half decent way. And, as soon as the food arrives on the table, I won't care. Definitely go if you want good food and drink, but don't go if you're even slightly in a rush. read more

We have ordered pizza and cider in the evening. The service was pretty nice and very fast. The food was tasty and smelled fresh :) we would visit again! read more

The New Cross House - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

Great space, seating is cool with the little booths. Great selection of beers and the outside area and treehouse is impressive as well (although if you are sitting in the lower part do the tree house, beware of spillages from above seeping though). All in all a great place to hangout and have a few beers. Firday nights are good for a bit of a boogey and Sundays are great for chilling there. Service on Sundays was slow but recently seems to have been rectified. read more

A classic gastro pub, and my regular haunt. Always a good shout but the food is way too overpriced considering how limited their menu is.

We live locally and went into the pub on Weds. 2pm. Ordered burger and pizza, the pub was almost empty and there were 2 cooks on duty. Asked for burger medium - it turned up like a piece of cardboard, overdone and dry with a sad piece of lettuce. We left most of it and told the waitress that we wouldn't be coming again although we live locally. The cook/chef didn't bother to come over and see what the problem was. So in effect paid around £10 for the chips which were ok. By the way the pizza was supposed to be anchovy but had a couple of slivers of anchovy and was smothered in dried out olives. Most unsatisfactory, overpriced and sloppy. read more

Since the New Cross House opened it's been the place to be for me in New Cross, it's got a good vibe, lots of space and does really yummy food. We normally start here and make our way over to the Amersham Arms for the end of the night as it' open till much later. My only criticism is that you have to wait to be served at your table to order food and I've occasionally had to ask several times and wait 10-15 minutes before someone has seen to us. read more
