The Wood House, Dulwich

It's a large but welcoming unpretentious pub and restaurant. My cousin recommended this place to me. We had a selection of starters as well as cocktails and some wine. The starters were all delicious and generous portions. The mussels in white wine, smoked anchovies with chunky sourdough slices, also the buffalo chicken wings. I think they were short staffed (cold and flu season) but we received exceptional service from Sebastian. He said he enjoyed seeing my cousin and I having fun. It's true, we were the last ones to leave the restaurant! Have also had the opportunity to use the outdoor space in the summer, which was really lovely. Definitely will go back again. Keep it up.

I've been to th Wood House a few times now and the food is always delicious. This time we had a roast, fish and a pie and they were all excellent and very good portion sizes. The day we went was a Sunday and they were busy. A few of the servers seemed quite new and it took some time to get their attention. We had drinks and food from another table delivered to us and we had to remind them it wasn't our order. Could have been because they were busy. But overall it was a lovely experience.

The food was really tasty. Not cheap, but tasty. It was a sunny autumn day and when we arrived it seemed like lots of people were sat outside so that might explain why the service was so slow. We were sat inside and, for a Sunday afternoon, the music was far too loud and the 90s dance hits (as great as they were) seemed incongruous with the surroundings.

I visited here on my trip to London and had lunch with my daughter and the food was incredible. We were looked after by such a lovely lady who had a young son and she was so lovely with my 2 year old. Nothing was too much and I wished we lived closer as it would be our regular! Thank you Anna! Would definitely recommend 👌

Went to my friend's local pub/restaurant. Well located in between Sydenham and Crystal Palace. It was a very busy day, but apparently Sunday is their busiest day in general and the weather was also quite nice. There is seating is the Gazebo, main part of the dining restaurant and outside. It took us a while to get seated as we hadn't booked, but then we were told there was seating in the gazebo, only to then be told where we were sat had bookings, we moved to about 6 different tables. We finally sat and decided on sitting in the main dining area. Service flowed after that. Food was good, portions were really decent too, felt like it was worth the money. They did serve burnt buns on our burgers for some reason, but requested to get new ones. They did apologise for this too. The reception is terrible in Crystal palace in general, so it's definitely a WiFi situation there. I didn't like that the waiters and waitresses were petting dogs and then went to handle food/ glasses. It's not hygienic and quite off putting, food and animals don't mix. Petting of dogs is one thing, but washing hands and sanitising is also necessary when handling food. I'm guessing it may have been because they were very busy, but the toilets could have been given some attention they were quite unpleasant. Really nice place to eat and very family friendly also. Parking is free. (On Sundays)

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Wood House pub in Dulwich, and have to say it was an exceptional experience. What truly stood out was the outstanding service provided by Anna. From the moment we walked in, Anna greeted us with a warm and welcoming smile. Her attentiveness and knowledge of the menu were impressive, as she guided us through the various options and made excellent recommendations. Of course, the drinks were also outstanding, with fantastic selection of beverages. The Wood House pub knows how to deliver a memorable experience. With Anna's exceptional service and the overall excellence of the establishment, I can confidently say that this pub deserves every one of its five stars. I'll be returning soon, looking forward to more wonderful moments at the Wood House.

Nice treat after a dog walk or bike ride! A traditional pub worth stopping by. I’d suggest booking on a Sunday; it gets busy! Parts of the indoor space are dog friendly. The staff are nice and the selection of food and drink are good, albeit in the pricey side. This was an Oct visit so sitting outside on a warm day is wonderful.
