The clientele are friendly, from all over the place, and the place is warm. The most important thing, for me, is that I've found no other place (including many in the homeland - God's own county, Yorkshire) that can present John Smiths like the staff do here. Steve and his staff will make you feel welcome, the crowd are friendly and accommodating, and the place has its own resident travelling musician - Matt Hodges, when he's around. Finally, it is THE BEST viewing spot for the London Marathon. Recommended.

Serving up a variety of beers…read moreon tap, I had one of the most satisfying frothy pints of Guinness of my life after a long chunnel ride into the city. My boyfriend and I split a plate of bangers of mash and it wasn't hard to see why it's an English favorite. Deliciously seared bangers (sausages for us Americans) served over the most creamy buttery mashed potatoes slathered in scaldingly hot gravy. The next day, after being so pleasantly surprised by how good the food was, we returned for dinner and ordered buffalo wings, a cheeseburger, and chilli con carne. All I have to say is I never knew pub food could taste so flavorful and refined. *Plus if you're a fan of drinking games/ boardgames this place seems to have it all.

If the road you're going on feels a bit quiet (New King Street), keep on going! I went there 3 times in 7 days, so I think that makes it worth the 20 min bus journey. Small, nice & cosy Victorian pub, standing a bit marooned on a quiet street, but the place packs a punch inside with an amazing selection of different draft beers, darks beers and ciders. The stout I drank was so strong, it was only served in halves. I've not tried the famous bottle collection, it's on the list to do. A Friday evening and Saturday lunchtime felt nice and busy, but there were plenty of seats, and you could just as easy grab a newspaper and while away an hour. Very inviting place, it feels like you could watch the word go buy here. Definitely a place to go back to. This has to be a decent and well run place and this is a place worth supporting.

Oh HELLO new local! What a find, what a night. Having heard about Wunderlust, I have been meaning…read moreto visit for some time and look behold it is right round the corner from me! I reserved an area for 40 people for the boyfriends birthday and couldn't have been happier with how the evening went. They reserved us a huge area which spanned both inside and outside the mismatch building. The first thing you notice is obviously the big red bus that you can actually dine upon. The next it's quirky greenhouse-esq. interior and then you can head out into their back garden area that has tables, a raised greenhouse area and plenty of available seating. They have a cocktail happy hour from 5 till 8 where cocktails are just £5 and they're pretty damn strong cocktails! And they also serve some fantastic street food. I opted for the wunderburger and it was god damn wunderful! Perfectly cooked juicy patty, topped with cheese, bacon and all the trimmings. Just wunderful! The only negative I have is that once they started getting busier the wait for drinks was rather extensive due to all the cocktail making so I'd just recommend a few more staff on those busy nights. Other than that I had the perfect evening and my boyfriend enjoyed his birthday immensely. Fantastic venue and another Deptford hidden gem!

It was about the social groups and charity groups in and around the Lewisham area and how us the community can help! There was also live music from artists in and around Lewisham and they all had a similar message and that was that we as a community, are all one and that we should work together to keep the area we live in a happy place. This was a good event and they should have more of these events around london. I didnt stay long (about an hour and a half) as i had work the next day but i would have stayed much longer! The venue itself, Wunderlust is quite a quirky place it has a huge red bus situated at the entrance and sells german hotdogs (hence the name!) Its decorated pretty with fairy lights and is like a little hidden den as it has like pathways which lead to different rooms and areas.. would recommend checking it out of your in the area..

With Iron man posters on the walls, a Simpson's pinball machine, darts and other decor straight out of a Hackney Flea Market, this place brings the East to the South East without the pretention you sometimes get in Shoreditch. Beer selection is great, according to my craft beer loving friends, and their cocktail menu has some delicious sounding mixes. I was pretty happy to find that a pint and a gin and lemonade only cost me £8-£9, instead of the usual £10-£15 I would expect from a similarly styled establishment. The owner is incredibly friendly, and happily chatted with us as we lounged on two leather couches near the window, enjoying the dimly lit ambiance on a Friday night. Bartenders are equally as cheerful. I'm very excited to see this place become a happening, popular boozer in my neighbourhood. Also can't wait for the pizza too. Updated 04/04/16: Pizza is incredibly crisp thin crust with fresh toppings. Really delicious.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not snobby and I really like little undiscovered pubs which honestly represent London, but this one just simply isn't very nice. There are probably a handful of locals who spend most of their time here and so when someone new walks in, you immediately feel all beady eyes upon you. The staff didn't do a great job of making my friend and I feel particularly welcome and I was tempted to just walk out but didn't want to appear rude which is quite ironic considering they probably would have preferred us to leave. The toilets aren't very clean and I found the bar staff (or the one member of staff) to be quite unfriendly. I'm sure those six locals like it here, but I wouldn't brave it if I were you.

There's a pool table which I played and lost miserably to against my colleague :( Staff could be a little friendlier and toilets needed some TLC and it was only a Thursday.

A Cameroonian place in London... Home away from home, couldn't be happier!…read more The Maestro has everything I miss from home, and is the perfect place to go with my Cameroonian pals when we need our big dose of home food. Everything: from Ndole to plantain fries, Chicken DG to Pepper soup (not for me though, intolerant to chili), there's everything to make us happy. It's African food, so please be patient. It takes time and you'd better not be starving when you go there. African nights tend to be quite long and boozy! :) Service wise, here again it's the perfume of Cameroon. That warmth and family touch has no equal. I know I am being subjective and some expressions may be "unwelcoming" to non-Cameroonians, and I get that. But still, this is home. With its good and bad sides, and that's why we like it. The waiter who greets you with no smile, then brings you first drink with a quarter of a smile, then the second with half a smile, then your starter, and finally a full smile when you eat the main... When it's time to hit the desert, you're so full and happy that you talk to her like your sister. Sounds strange, doesn't it? But again, that's home! They regularly have live bands playing weekends. The Maestro becomes quite literally the first stop of the night: whiskey from 6 to 9, then dinner until 11, then whiskey again until 1-2 ish before hitting an African club in Peckham or Camberwell... The Maestro has it all and just gets it. If you want a Europeanised restaurant with African food, turn around and go somewhere else... But If you want to experience a bit of Cameroon with no filter whatsoever, exactly the way it happens in some streets of Douala or Yaounde, then you are at the right place!

You've been to a couple riverside pubs in the area only to find them all teeming with yuppie-types,…read moremonopolising every last bit of glorious patio space on what is perhaps the last sunny day of a summer that's done its best to cling on desperately to sunshine and mild temperatures. You just want to enjoy it, I know. I know. So when you can't even get a space INSIDE one of the aforementioned riverside pubs, and you didn't really want to eat oysters on your Sunday pub outing anyway - you rich a-holes - you head a little farther south. A little farther into the Isle of Dogs. Farther into the unknown. But then you can happen upon the Pepper Saint Ontiod, and it will be a happy day that you do. So the building appears to have been brought to life in Thatcherite Britain, like many of the buildings on the dreary Isle of Dogs, but its austere and utilitarian architecture belies the Pepper Saint's idiosyncratic personality. The mismatched furnishings and accessories from various decades and eras creates a pub pastiche that endears rather than cloys. And on sunny days, you'll find an armchair or two outside on the concourse overlooking the dock - along with some dedicated outdoor furniture of course. The food here is consistently inexpensive and invariably satisfying. Gastropub fare, this is not. But stop by for a light pub lunch or a proper Sunday roast, and you're sure to leave satiated. Add to this a better-than-average variety of drinks on tap along with a wine menu and high-quality spirits alongside neighbourly good service behind the bar, and you can't ask for much more in a pub. Oh, but /THERE'S MORE/ you also get a pool table and table football upstairs (along with more comfortable furniture sprawling the impressive floor space) and a totally hip soundtrack rocking the indie disco with tracks from the Jackson 5 to Portishead to Two Door Cinema Club. I'd say this pub belongs in a place like fashionable East London rather than the Docklands, but then - if it were - I'd never want to go. You see, I'd probably never get a chance to sit on one of the Chesterfields, filled as they'd surely be with moustachioed 20-somethings wearing low-cut vests, leering at me smugly from their ever-present positions on them. So here's to you, Pepper Saint. And stay just the way you are - malapropos in Millwall.

Could have done with a pot of thicker gravy to put on all of it. It comes with plenty of gravy on the plate but it was a bit thin for me. The meat was great though so I wasn't complaining. I also tried the chicken which was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside as it should be. Don't be put off by the building from the outside. It is relaxed and friendly on the inside and has a pool table upstairs and board games. In the summer you can sit out round the side and look out over the dock. Worth trying the berry crumble with ice cream good to top off a meal. Bit of an odd place but worth going to. Staff are friendly and beer selection is good.
