Somewhat maligned, but always worth a look
Whilst Kennington probably has better pubs in the Prince of Wales, few have the character or the atmosphere that the Dog House has.
Yes, the service can be downright diabolical at times, but in my own experience it tends to be a hit and miss affair erring more towards hit; it's just a busy pub at a busy crossroads and are just as applicable at The White Hart across the road or even the PoW.
That said, the food is always excellent with a wide menu and a decent Sunday roast. There's also a good if unremarkable selection of beers on tap. It also attracts a young and relaxed crowd thrown in the odd minor celebrity (Keith from The Office, anyone?). Add to this the fact that it has bags of character and a quiet upstairs section with really comfy seats then it's not hard to realise you can do much worse in Kennington. The problems it has are easily solved (more staff at busy times and maybe a more adventurous choice of draught booze?) but haven't been yet, hence the 3 stars...
