The Crooked Well - London

Wow! We had an amazing meal and will definitely be returning with our extended family. The chef deserves a lot of praise.

We chose this local pub for our Christmas meal, but left disappointed with the experience. It should not be called a gastropub as it does not meet the usual standard. The menu is limited and there were no side plates available. Our booking was for 7pm, but we were told there was no more bread and olives left. We wanted to order desserts at 9pm, but were told the kitchen would not be making them. The website indicated that the kitchen was closing at 9.30pm. The only coffee option available was American-style filter coffee, which is not typical of a gastropub. On the positive side, the service was friendly and the atmosphere was lively. The food was good, but nothing exceptional.

I made a reservation for Sunday at 4:30pm. I wouldn't recommend the Sunday roast at that time. We were disappointed to find that there were only two meat options on the menu - beef and turkey. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived, only turkey was left. It seems unusual to have such a limited selection, especially considering that most people do not prefer turkey. The overall experience was average, but I don't blame the kitchen - you can't make a great meal with subpar ingredients. Unfortunately, they also ran out of cauliflower cheese and a few starters. The side dishes were acceptable and the service and wine were fine. However, this Sunday roast did not live up to my previous experiences and I will be looking for another restaurant in the future.

Had my birthday celebrations for a Sunday lunch with friends. We were 20 and hire the private room upstairs. Beautiful pub on the side of Camberwell road. The food was 5stars, very good and juicy roasts and starters. Great service received on the day, and also from Monica the manger that has helped me prior the day. Definitely recommend to pop in for a beer if you are in the area or as place to organizing special meals.

Great place to meet up with friends for a nice drink and very special Italian food which is simple, fresh and delicious. The staff team are attentive, relaxed and friendly plus it’s dog friendly. Perfect.
