Seymour Brothers has existed some years, originally as a sandwich bar cum pizzaria of consitently excellent quality. The place appears to have changed hands recently and is now a sandwich bar with a Thai restaurant in the evening. The sandwich bar is of good quality, with high quality ingredients, but a weakness is that a lack of itemised billing on exit can often lead to confusion as to how the final bill relates to the items consumed, which can lead to an embarrassing request for clarification. The Thai restaurant facility in the evening is not of high quality. We ordered a duck dish which contained one piece of meat and four or five pieces of duck skin. Service is lamentable, with half hour waits for dishes that would ususally be ready in 10 minutes in your average Thai. On querying the fact that that customers who had arrived after us were served before, I was informed by the single waitress / owner? that she was also doing the cooking of soups, while another cook was working on main courses. Upon billing we found that although upon entry we had been informed that we were allowed to bring in wine or beer from outside, we were surprised to find that this attracted corkage, although this had not been mentioned by the waitress / owner?, and was not readily evident on the menu. When querying this issue we were immediatly let off the corkage, but at the cost of being told that the place was "obviously not our kind of place" and prohibited from re-entry for life. Upon arrival at home, we discovered that although we had chosen the cheaper (ie, non prawn option) for our stir fry, we had in fact been charged for the more expensive prawn option. As I am now prohibited I am not returning to query this.
Advice - sandwich bar, ok but always check your bill; Thai restaurant, avoid

Was out and about looking for a chinese restaurant, and i found a new chinese in Camberwell- even though they been there for 3 years. Walked in and got greeted with a nice warm smile and was immediately seated. Ordered my food and boy are their portion are big, a lot BIGGER and CHEAPER than Castle Dragon in Elephant and Castle. The food was great, ordered a whole steamed Sea Bass it tasted so fresh and it was boneless not like all other restaurants. All i can say is-being chinese ethnic myself, this is now one of the best chinese restaurant so far...!!!! I recommend this restaurant to all!

This used to be my local curry house and I was sorry to leave it behind when I moved away from the area but thrilled to discover that they delivered to my new address (despite having moved a good 20 minutes away and across the river). Ironically, I'd never eaten *in* the restaurant while I lived locally but they gave the place a drastic makeover a year or so ago and so I thought I'd give it a go. Great move. I now average a visit about once a month - even though it would be easier to get them to deliver. The decor is modern yet cosy, the staff are helpful and friendly, the menu is extensive and interesting and the food delicious.This used to be my local curry house and I was sorry to leave it behind when I moved away from the area but thrilled to discover that they delivered to my new address (despite having moved a good 20 minutes away and across the river).

Iâ¬"ve been meaning to try this place out for a while and eventually went with the ex last week. Itâ¬"s another Vietnamese place â¬ they seem to be popping up everywhere now. Itâ¬"s a lot more trendy than your typical Asian, family-owned restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised by how nicely decorated it is. Thereâ¬"s one main room with a smaller long room at the back, presumably used for private parties but I can see myself sitting in there in the day sipping on coffee with a good book in the near future!

They have the usual things on a Vietnamese menuâ¬¦ spring rolls, soft shell crab, pho noodle soups, Vietnamese chicken curry and also some dim sum. I wasnâ¬"t too hungry so I went for the Banh Xeo which is a thin, crepe-like pancake filled with pork, prawns and bean sprouts and served with fish sauce and fresh herbs. It was so tasty and actually really healthy as well. I canâ¬"t wait to go again to try the other things on the menu!

I just realised tonight that this is one of my favourite pubs in London. It's so inconspicuous that chances are you'll never go there, unless you happen to take a train from Denmark Hill.

It has to be the best pub at a railway station in the UK, let alone London and is a brilliant reason to miss your train home.

The place has been refurbished from the original station building. Lots of wooden beams, exposed brickwork and even the original station clock, which is a mighty, magnificent time piece, permanently stuck at around twenty to three.

There's lots of comfy and cozy areas to sit, which give the place a very homely feel. They do fresh juices (I had pressed apple and ginger today) a great range of beers and ciders, very decent pub grub and nuts. The staff are a friendly bunch and the music is usually cool in a chilled out funky way.

It's somewhere to go with a bunch of friends, or to find some solace with a book. In fact the longer I write this, the more I realise there are very few places this good around.

Most Wetherspoons can be pretty grim places to hang out, but the redeeming factor in this establishment are its great outdoor spaces - kids play area out the back and good views out the front.

Usual cheap Wetherspoons beer and food but at least you can enjoy it in the sun. Most Wetherspoons can be pretty grim places to hang out, but the redeeming factor in this establishment are its great outdoor spaces - kids play area out the back and good views out the front.

A nice family run vietnamese restaurant which also serves some chinese food aswell. The pho noodles are ok if you're not used to authentic stuff and the other dishes are fairly decent. It can feel a bit crammed if they're busy. Takeaways available and closed on Mondays.A nice family run vietnamese restaurant which also serves some chinese food aswell.

This really is a fabulous place to come on a Sunday afternoon. I can't say I've tried the tuna melt just yet, but the burgers here are out of this world. My friend had the Sunday Roast here the other week and it was all we could do to stop her chewing the bones.

There's a lovely, laid-back atmosphere here, and even better - there's table-service. There are an assortment of games available - Pictionary, Cluedo and so on.

My friends and I decided to join in the pub quiz. This was a rather spur of the moment decision. My friends and I are all profoundly deaf, so doing things like this can often be an inconvenience. However, after speaking to the bar manager he happily went off to print out an additional copy of the questions so we could all play.

So not only a brilliant pub, but also disability-aware/deaf-friendly to boot!This really is a fabulous place to come on a Sunday afternoon.

I may be a bit biased with this as the S&D is kind of my local, however many reviews from friends visiting from outside the area lay weight to my claim that this is definitely one of the best pubs around.
We recently attended the Halloween pub quiz, which was great fun. The food was very nice though in the past the service has been a bit hit and miss. We went for fairly basic fayre, nachos and some bowls of chips but they were very tasty!
The quiz was great fun and seems to happen weekly rather than monthly as indicated above. I haven't had the chance to attend the film nights as yet but certainly plan to in the future.
Also, San Miguel on tap, bonus!I may be a bit biased with this as the S&D is kind of my local, however many reviews from friends visiting from outside the area lay weight to my claim that this is definitely one of the best pubs around.

Jono's is a fairly large members-only snooker/pool club on Camberwell New Rd. There's no windows or anything to look into the place, only a door where you buzz yourself in so it's quite dodgy! Rumour has it that the local criminals hide away in there from the police until the coast is clear :s .It opens until early in the morning (or is it 24 hrs?!!) so this makes it really easy if the rumour is true!

I've been there a few times whilst very drunk with a group of friends when I was still a student and none of us are actually members but they just look angry and then mumble that we should remember to bring our 3 forms of ID with us next time :D

From what I remember, it was fairly cheap. Inside it's your usual setup of pool/snooker tables, quite dark I think. I don't remember any distinguishing features but there's always the colourful locals that provide unique, if not amusing entertainment.Jono's is a fairly large members-only snooker/pool club on Camberwell New Rd.

Hidden on a side street off Herne Hill Road, this pub is quite unexpected. They've a comprehensive selection of lagers on tap, alongside a substantial (and good value) range of food.

They do a variety of discounts throughout the week, like half price meals on Wednesday and 2 roasts for Â£11 on Sundays.

Ah....Golden Grill....I lived in Camberwell for 2 years when I was a student so I've spent a lot of time in the early hours of the morning in here! It almost feels like home because it's somewhere that gives me yummy food when I may or may not be feeling too good lol.

Most people get takeaways but they have a small restaurant in the back with about 14 seats. You end up paying a bit extra to sit in but you get pitta bread with olives and dips which are quite nice and saves you trying to eat your food whilst drunk, walking home and avoiding the er..."colourful" locals :D

They serve the usual selection of kebabs (shish, chicken, doner, kofte), burgers (chicken, beef, cheese), chips, fish, falafel and houmous. Most things come in 2 or 3 sizes but the small is usually enough for me! My favourites are the shish kebab and the chicken burger, both with loads of their home-made chilli sauce, yum! ENJOY

This place, without a doubt, does the best fish and chips I have ever eaten in my life. According to my sister, the scampi is just divine too. The fish is fresh and made to order.

You have the option to take away (and very reasonably priced it is too), or to eat-in. The restaurant section doesn't tend to be very busy, which is a real shame, as the food is outrageously good. The best bit being you can bring your own bottle!

The staff are lovely and friendly and very chatty.

Mozzarella E Pomodoro is one of my absolute favourite places to eat. I have lived in Camberwell for nearly 4 years and every single time we have a special occasion we seem to end up eating here!

The food is great, with a huge selection of fish, meat, pasta and pizza. I personally rate the pizzas and the pasta with olive oil, garlic and clams! There is a lovely list of wines and the staff are more than happy to discuss which wine would be to your liking. You also get a bowl of gorgeous green and black olives and a bowl of bread to start.

At time of writing, on Tuesdays all pizza and pasta is half price.

I have been here many times and never had a bad experience. Definitely recommended!Mozzarella E Pomodoro is one of my absolute favourite places to eat. I have lived in Camberwell for nearly 4 years and every single time we have a special occasion we seem to end up eating here!

In the heart of Camberwell lies this family owned greek restaurant that has been there since 1974. The ceiling of the interior is covered with vines which makes it pretty intimate and special. They also have a few outdoor tables for the summer.

They offer traditional greek dishes such as moussaka, kebabs, kleftico and a whole load of greek starters. If you want to try a good mixture of different dishes, you can get their meze (£14.00 per person) and you get 8 starters for the 1st course, 6 dishes for the 2nd course and 4 dishes for the 3rd course. I'm usually pretty stuffed by the end of the 2nd course! It's great!! Extremely good value for money.

If you don't want to go for that, a few of my favourites are:
Sheftalies - Minced lamb & pork with onions, parsley and spices
Afelia - Cubes of pork marinated in red wine and coriander seeds
Kleftico - fillet of lamb served on the bone

Also, their greek coffee is just amazing. It's the proper stuff where you have to wait for the granules to settle on the bottom and then sip it slowly. You have to enjoy it sweet though because when you ask for it to be medium, it's really sugary but try it anyway!In the heart of Camberwell lies this family owned greek restaurant that has been there since 1974.

This is a nice, bright cafe with vietnamese owners so they have baguettes filled with either your usual sandwich fillings or some vietnamese ones. I love their special roll with home-made pate, spiced and normal pork. It comes with pickled veg, chilli sauce and mayo. Simply scrumptious!!

It's quite nice to sit in there. I think they have a downstairs bit aswell but takeaway is also available.

Safa is quite trendy looking from the outside with a glass front. Inside, the decor is modern. It's not a big restaurant, maybe 30 covers at a time. The staff are very friendly and the menu has a good variety of dishes which are always presented well. The food is generally pretty good with some dishes that are even better. Some of my favourites: Crab bhuna, tiger prawn balchou, prawn poori, paneer and lamb sikampuri kebab,xacutti chicken,baingan bhaji,keema naan.

This is a trendy bar which also has food in the day. In the evening, it can get quite busy. There's a DJ on weekends and people usually end up dancing.

The food is generally okay but the dishes that are excellent are the thai mussels with chips and mayonnaise and the minted beef burger. Most of the other things could be missed.

I worked beside this seller of heaven for 3 years. I gained 15 delicious kilograms in 3 years and feel there is a hole in my soul now that I can no longer support them. Bacon and mushroom for my hangovers, black pudding to give me mega power to cope with an afternoon and bubble & squeak to fill the void. The man sized sausage and bacon filled rolls still give me a soaring feeling. All this english greasy spoon served by oriental folk in a cafe with a wild west feel. I worked beside this seller of heaven for 3 years. I gained 15 delicious kilograms in 3 years and feel there is a hole in my soul now that I can no longer support them.

this place is great - overpriced for camberwell though. had some great random nights in there - not good enough to plan to go though - best to be one of those places you just stumble into later. My highlight was when we found a staircase leading upstairs and they were playing st. elmo's fire - you can't beat experiences like that can you?this place is great - overpriced for camberwell though. had some great random nights in there - not good enough to plan to go though - best to be one of those places you just stumble into later.
