The effect is to look very gloomy as you walk in, until your eyes adjust. There are, as others have said, lots of tables. The food was fine, although there was no real ale on our visit. Bar staff were OK too, but my main gripes were that the music was a bit intrusive and the tables had obviously not been wiped for a while, and I don't like surfaces with gloopy blobs on them if I'm about to eat. All in all, it's OK, but I don't feel like I want to rush back.

It is a decent sized pub with a very well done. There are handsome varnished floors, gilded mirrors and an attractive bar. There a mix of tables; ranging from sofas, low-slung tables, to chairs and tables for sitting and eating. They have a good range of beers and a gastro pub menu. The food is very well done and as a place it is perfectly suited for daytime hanging out. As one might expect from its location they show football matches. It is a good, relatively genteel place to watch games, particularly if you are an Arsenal fan.

The drinks are reasonably priced and they do a mean roast of Sunday's. Out back they have a fantastic beer garden with plenty of seating. You can even reserve an area for parties/get togethers.

It might be cool if it were a 10 minute walk but definitely not worth the ride. All considering I had a Ginger cider (decent) and Fish and Chips (decent).

One of the few bars in Enfield with a late license (til midnight Sun-Thurs, til 1am Fri and Sat). Can get a bit rowdy at the weekend.

Wow, the Hermits, how many nights I have spent in this place I do not know. I've lived in…read moreCamberwell for four years and this is the place we always come back to. It's a winner with everyone. I think because it has charm. It's a proper old fashioned London boozer; old photos on the walls, a selection of ales, wooden floors, bar and furniture, frosted windows â" all that malarkey and a completely unpretentious feel. Everyone likes it, which is evident from the mixed bag of people you get inside which only adds to its appeal. Unlike some of my friends who cannot fault the place, my problem is the lighting; I think it's too bright and wish they'd just unscrew a few of the bar lights to make it more inviting and true to its namesake. I am also disappointed by the prices which seem to be rising slowly but surely. This is not a cheap option despite its looks. Summer nights are best the Hermits when the punters spill out onto the pavements, but equally a winter evening is great, curled up inside with one of the many warm beverages on offer - a hot toddy or mulled wine is always best in an old-fashioned pub. Word of warning: If you order a Brothers cider, there is a festival and normal version and the festival one is about 4% stronger!

That said, come the summer it sells slushy cider a half-pint of Westons with enough ice shavings in it to turn it into a boozey Slush Puppie. I'd meant to try this for ages, and it was absolutely delicious. I'm sure I've had Westons before, but for some reason this one tasted almost exactly like balsamic vinegar (which I love, but was slightly unexpected). It's a nice, airy pub with plenty of big cosy tables and places to squash into, but if I were going out, I'd still make a beeline to somewhere like the Stormbird or the Tiger first.

There's a cracking rear patio which will catch a lot of the sun come the summer and I can highly recommend the Lamb Kofte. So it's a chain pub, but considering how bad those pubs can be, this one does a good job with friendly service.

Its now a firm favourite with me and my friends. Its quite a traditional pub in the way its decorated and titled, but it still attracts quite a young and trendy crowd at the weekend. It hosts a really good range of beers, wines and spirits and they pour a mean pint of Guinness here too! I believe they do both bar snacks and main meals here but i havent had the chance to try them, though im told they are good value. The landlord and staff are very friendly here, and i immediately felt welcomed when i first came here. Nice sunny courtyard out the back as i remember too. Check it out!

My boyfriend and I needed a Sunday lunch spot before catching a film this past weekend. We had…read morealready been to Richard the first on Friday night (amazing burgers) and wanted to try somewhere new. We decided to check out the Ashburnham Arms after seeing how nice their website looked. The website is nothing like the pub itself....super fancy/upscale looking. The pub. If you like pubs and want a drink (or 4), this is a great spot. If you want food, I would give it a miss. I had a burger and, even though not pink, the center was mushy and "wet" tasting. It is difficult to explain but I can only think they had too much egg or water in the minced meat mixture when making the burgers. I would not recommend this or the Goats Cheese Salad that had a super overly sweet dressing. To be fair, my boyfriend had the bangers and mash and enjoyed it so, if eating, I would go for this choice. The bathrooms were strange. You walk in to your respective gender and MIGHT be surprised to see (in my case) a guy washing his hands next to you. The bathrooms split off into two hallways but then come back together when washing your hands which makes for awkward silence with your opposite gender...me no likey. Again, if just going for drinks, this is a nice pub that is local and not touristy at all. If you want pints and possibly food, head down the street to Richard the First.
