A friendly local with plenty of space. Cosy interior and plentiful garden.
Menu does the job, head for the generous portion of Parmesan truffle fries :) even better at weekends with bbq specials

Good pub on Forest Hill Road. Classic
building retaining Truman's exterior detail and decoration. Previously known as the Forest Hill Tavern.
Disappointingly, the pub usually has only one cask beer on handpump these days (there used to be 3 or 4). Very large garden most of it covered by a canopy.
Really lovely pub, with a relaxed atmosphere.
We visited for a Sunday roast and really enjoyed the veggie / vegan option.
Finn looked after us, and was really attentive with the service.
Thank- you, we will be back :)
Food here in the last few months has been consistently really tasty. Burgers are great, and bbq is worth heading over on the weekend for too. Excellent beer garden, this pub is a great local to have.
Becoming a fan of this place. Smiley service. Huge selection of beers coming out of the wall! Burgers are huge and delicious. Plus BBQ themed menu. I had the smoked pork belly, wife had the spicy chicken burger. Large garden looks like a real bonus for the good weather. Recommended.
Love this pub! We use it to catch up before a local festival in Peckham Rye Park every year. Great food, amazing beer garden, wide selection of drinks, good party atmosphere on the weekend evenings too. Wish I lived closer, would go there all the time!
I had my wedding reception at the Watsons this week and it was an amazing experience, the staff went above and beyond to handle our needs from start to finish. Drinks and food were lovely, atmosphere was phenomenal and the new manager Dom is just so dedicated to making the pub the best it can be and he made sure personally that our day went exactly as it should I’m eternally grateful and would recommend the Watsons for any function type as well as just a day out it’s 10/10
Nice local pub - very spacious , staff were really friendly and helpful. Good selection of drinks and food - the chunky chips were sooooo crispy and fluffy inside and the portion was massive. Pair with the sriracha mayo for chip perfection
The menu has a lot of variety - quirky BBQ dishes to delicious burgers and small plates. I'd highly recommend this pub and I'll be trying more of the menu. I had the chicken burger and it was delicious.
Will visit this pub again as everyone was friendly and the service was really good. I will deffo check out the outdoor garden but sitting inside the pub was also sublime.
Really great beer selection, plus a couple of cans in the fridge. They used to have Gosnel's mead on tap (but now it's just in a can). Their food game is pretty good as well!
We called on a very quiet Sunday evening and it was fine! It's a big barn of a place so we rattled about! The staff were sweet and friendly, choices were many. We didn't eat, so I can't comment on the food.
