It's such a great place to grab a pint and enjoy fun company at the same time. I have been there more than a few times and have not been disappointed. They also have a decent wine list and a fully stocked bar if you fancy a cocktail.

Wow, the Hermits, how many nights I have spent in this place I do not know. I've lived in…read moreCamberwell for four years and this is the place we always come back to. It's a winner with everyone. I think because it has charm. It's a proper old fashioned London boozer; old photos on the walls, a selection of ales, wooden floors, bar and furniture, frosted windows â" all that malarkey and a completely unpretentious feel. Everyone likes it, which is evident from the mixed bag of people you get inside which only adds to its appeal. Unlike some of my friends who cannot fault the place, my problem is the lighting; I think it's too bright and wish they'd just unscrew a few of the bar lights to make it more inviting and true to its namesake. I am also disappointed by the prices which seem to be rising slowly but surely. This is not a cheap option despite its looks. Summer nights are best the Hermits when the punters spill out onto the pavements, but equally a winter evening is great, curled up inside with one of the many warm beverages on offer - a hot toddy or mulled wine is always best in an old-fashioned pub. Word of warning: If you order a Brothers cider, there is a festival and normal version and the festival one is about 4% stronger!

Despite lots of my friends waxing lyrical about the Hermits, I've always been put off from going in…read moreby the fact you can't see in through the windows and its general air of This is our pub, please go away. That said, come the summer it sells slushy cider a half-pint of Westons with enough ice shavings in it to turn it into a boozey Slush Puppie. I'd meant to try this for ages, and it was absolutely delicious. I'm sure I've had Westons before, but for some reason this one tasted almost exactly like balsamic vinegar (which I love, but was slightly unexpected). It's a nice, airy pub with plenty of big cosy tables and places to squash into, but if I were going out, I'd still make a beeline to somewhere like the Stormbird or the Tiger first.

My little brother's friend told him to tell me that he loved this pub (it's a round-about way to find out about a pub...but meh) so I have been meaning to come here for a roast dinner for aaages. I still didn't manage to try the roast dinners, but I'll definitely come back to drink and relax with friends.

Grafton Arms is actually known as "The Swimmer at the Grafton Arms" these days, just a heads up…read more The pub is great, as it is a local, hometown place that manages to stay under the radar in the chaos of North London. It's only a ~30 minute walk from Camden, ~20 minutes from Upper Street, and right off of the ever popular Holloway Road. The bartenders are great and the people are nice. The Swimmer is the kind of place that one does not go to unless one knows it exists. This keeps it from being the touristy O'Neil's and Whetherspoon's-eqsue pubs that one finds in Central London. As for the food, I have never had a meal here, (I hear good things) but the bar keeps a nice stock of peanuts and crisps for purchase.

I walked in for the first time since it's name change and it smelled really badly of sewage! This put me off, but i persevered and have since been back a lot. The atmosphere is great, and they have an immensely gay night on a Friday hosted by a few chaps from Horsemeat Disco and Disco Bloodbath. A great place to end a Bethnal Green pub crawl, or a welcome change from Shoreditch, check out their website for listings.

There is a large courtyard at the back, which is really lovely to spend time at in the summer. The smokers tend to take it over in the chilly months of winter.

There are some original fixtures from olden times, and some old geezers who like they've been here just as long. Its a charming local pub, and great to have a drink at in the evening.

A genuine Irish pub with a genuine Irish charm!…read more Forget your Irish theme pubs and chains, if you are looking for a good Irish pub this is the real deal. You will get a warm Irish welcome from the moment you walk in. We were there to watch a match. The pub is a great venue for sports, having loads of screens around the bar so you will always be able to see whereever you are and a back room with a giant screen. In particular if you are looking to watch Irish sport, GAA or Munster rugby this is the place to go - for Munster fans this is the new South London base of the Munster Supporters Club. After the match was over we stayed on to enjoy the craic. The pub has a great beer garden and best of all the beer is cheap - two pints for less than £7, an absolute bargain!!! Later in the night there was a fantastic band who had us all up dancing. There was also a man selling oysters and guinness, of which we indulged more than we should have. Overall we had a fantastic night and I can't wait to go back again - highly recommended!

We have been coming to the Kent for years including Christmas Day…read more We were there for lunch on Monday with family and our dog and it was very quiet, in fact the inside of the pub was empty. The young lady behind the bar was rude, unwelcoming with an air of superiority. Our dog was on her lead and sniffing around, as dogs do, and she abruptly said to keep control of her. I replied she's on a lead! We ordered lunch and sat in the garden the same girl brought our food out and told us to get our own cutlery pointing somewhere across the pub garden. We then ordered some tea and they had no milk - what restaurant has no milk. There's a Coop 2 minutes up the road. A gentleman came out and asked if we had a car parked in the pub, again very unfriendly, when he found the couple, he abruptly told them to move their car. They left. If you don't enjoy working in a customer service role, do something else or train your staff on how to treat people. I have had great service from young gentlemen in the past, but we will not be coming back to have a sunny day's lunch ruined by appalling service. Go to the Village in or The Drayton Court.

It might be cool if it were a 10 minute walk but definitely not worth the ride. All considering I had a Ginger cider (decent) and Fish and Chips (decent). We also shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding (dry and not all decent). The service was meh/ok. Sorry I wasted the taxi ride and pounds. Nothing to write home about. Would not come back.
