The Telegraph at The Earl of Derby

The Monday night quiz is always great fun thanks to the hard work of Phil Nice. If you're not a regular you may miss a few of the jokes, but at the end of the day it's only a fu...

This Five Star Pub Should Not Be The Best Kept Secret In Lewisham!

This review sums up some visits made since 5th July 2019. It was on my first visit with a lovely friend Rima Bray that the lovely manager donated what turned out to be the best of eighty raffle prizes I collected in SE London a crowd funder for The Hill Station Community Café in nearby Kitto Rd, the prize was a meal for four, I will never forget your generosity for such an important cause.

Although the management has changed the chef has not and so far both meals, fish and chips last year followed by Sunday Roast Pork on 23rd Feb 2020 were both so delicious they should be illegal. The roast just blasted my taste buds, the roasted beetroot was a master touch and those roast tatties my all time fave in 61 years. £14 and good value considering the exceptional quality and generous helping. There is always an excellent vegan option.

This delightful pub appeals to me on so many levels, even with the fab old fashioned juke box you can actually hear yourself think and talk, this is ideal place to bring your friends for a shared meal or drinks and conversation. Perfect ambience with open fires in the winter, and a fab outdoor front garden terrace for the summer, coupled with lovely staff, customers and a great range of on tap beers at very reasonable prices, what more could you ask for?

There are also three nights of activities including Monday Pub Quiz and Thursday Open Mic which from feedback is a wonderful evening.

Most positive that there is a large noticeboard which shares events being held in the local community, and the offer of a FREE function room must surely have appeal for clubs and social groups?

If you are reading about this fab pub for the first time, do visit, The Telegraph at The Earl of Derby should not remain the best kept secret in Lewisham!

One of the best pubs in terms of welcoming their guests, making a connection and knowing the people around you.

The owners are amazing people, helpful and kind

The bar staff are fun and make efforts to know you.

There is amazing live music, quality singer songwriters performance every Thursday.

There are other fun activities like comedy etc

Do visit this pub and you will come back again and again....!!!!!

A cracking proper pub with good old fashioned weirdness. Decent choice of beer and a nice outdoor terrace for Summers. We were there for the Thursday evening open mic night. Very well run with lots of quirky and interesting music with some top quality too. Excellent sound system.

Love this local pub, always has a decent selection of beers and good value for money food. Dogs welcomed, which is great to see! They have a cracking pub quiz on Mondays at 8:30pm.

Visited just after a mini beer festival, so great selection of cask beers, including Siren Breakfast Stout. Friendly staff and locals. And I must return to try one of the "average Sunday roasts" which I'm told at actually AM-A-ZING (to quote Revel-horwood!). Will return, with others in tow!

Good, slightly off the beaten track, New Cross pub. Effectively, two separate bars plus a smallish outside drinking area to the front. Two or three cask ales available. Friendly staff and has the feel of a real local pub.

A little gem of a pub and much bigger than it looks from the outside. The telegraph was the venue of my niece's 18th birthday party. and the staff were very helpful, friendly and accommodating.
