The Palmerston, East Dulwich, SE22

Nice gastro-pub with the usual brown furniture. Lots of tables set for dining. Two cask beers on Wainwrights and Landlord but they did have the rarely seen Cotswold-wheat beer on keg which was good.Nice relaxing feel.

The Palmerston is a corner pub that is situated on the busy lordship lane. Once inside there was an L shaped room which ran to the rear of the pub,the floor was bare boarded and the bar was to the left,there was a leather bench seat to the front left,plus one long bench seat running down the right side,there was a small area off the main room to the rear right. There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Orkney Northern Light which was a very nice drink,the other beers were,Skinners Betts Stoggs and Thwaites Lancaster Bomber. This was a decent enough pub to have drink in,but slightly spoilt by East Dulwich's yummy mummys and daddys showing their babys off. Pub visited 25/1/2014

Medium-sized street corner pub in traditional premises, but squarely aimed at the gastro market, hence the 'dining room' tag. It has however retained all the original panelling and fittings, so it still feels very comfortable and pubby - a nice change from the usual bare walls and floor. Beers on at time of visit included Harveys and Kings and seemed in good form. The food is priced at restaurant rather than pub levels but is quite excellent. Not one for a long drinking session, but highly recommended for a special meal with a nice pint.
