Basically, unchanged from the review below this bare boarded, largely stripped out Victorian pub was doing a good impression of a food led pub and there were quite a few already dining as I rucked up on this particular Wednesday lunchtime.
Its part of the Metropolitan arm of Greene King and as such theres not a lot of branding and I wouldn’t have bothered checking with the barman if it wasn’t for the fact that one of the pump clips was badged with a beer called THAT which was confirmed as a GK brew and usually permanently on.
There is a bank of five ale pumps on the bar but only the three ales equally spaced amongst them with the other two pumps unbadged. Small Beer Amber and TT Landlord were the other two and I went for the Small Beer ale, which was surprisingly tasteful for a 2.7% ale.
I agree, a nice pub that seems to do the pub dining thing well, but for a pub just for a pint I also preferred The Montpelier up the road.

One of a number of backstreet pubs tucked away South of the railway line close to Peckham Rye station, this is a large, two room gastro pub that has been opened out a great deal. The front room is presented as a typical gentrified South London pub, with exposed floorboards, high tongue and groove panelling alongside plain painted walls and some modern glazed tiling around an open kitchen to the left. The seating around the main entrance is mostly in the form of high tables and stools plus some banquette booths under the front windows. The servery is to the rear and has an L-shaped counter with a highly decorative dark wood front and attractive matching bar back which includes a number of finely worked wooden features around a centrally positioned clock and some nice decorative glasswork, all offset by the presence of a stuffed ferret. The walls have been decorated with a selection of contemporary photographs depicting local scenes from nearby Rye Lane and various markets among others. The partitioning between front and rear rooms has been mostly lost over the years, but the narrowing of the rooms to the right of the bar does help the place maintain the feel of a two room pub, with the rear portion set up more as a formal dining area with lots of pre-set tables served by chairs and a load of padded banquettes. The walls are mostly bare brick which is an improvement on dark wood, as there is not a lot of natural light back here and the brickwork seems to help lighten up the feel of the room. More contemporary photography lines the walls and there is a nice bit of decorative tiling around the bar back which is along the front wall of this room. A good soundtrack of funk and soul classics played throughout my visit and a trip to the toilets became more complicated than it needed to be when I assumed a door signposted as ‘Uncle Albert’s’ must lead to the Gents – as it turns out, it leads to a private dining room, so be warned!
Just the three cask ales on the bar – Greene King IPA and Yardbird and Sambrooks Junction – which is perhaps not too surprising from a backstreet Greene King pub. The Yardbird was £4.70 a pint and kept in remarkably good condition – I really surprised myself with how much I enjoyed this beer, which I’ve found average at best when previously sampled elsewhere. Two further handpulls were out of use and there was a modest craft keg selection as well.
I didn’t really have any expectations for a Greene King gastro pub in a gentrified part of town, but I came away with a vary favourable impression of this place thanks to some comfortable seating, a nicely presented main bar area and some well-kept beer. It’s perhaps a bit too ‘foodie’ for traditionalists but works well as the sort of respectable establishment you can bring your non pub-going friends or family to.

The Victoria Inn is a corner pub that is painted in the modern battleship grey colour,which looks pretty drab in my opinion.
Once inside i went into a largish L shaped room,there was tall bench seating to the front and side of the room with the other seating being small tables and chairs.
There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Adnams bitter which was decent enough,the other beer was Old Speckled Hen.
This was a decent enough pub that was fairly smart inside.
