Dating from at least the early 19th century though rebuilt towards the end of the century and the White Hart until 2010, the current name the result of a former local market, home to Britain’s first fish ‘n’ chip shop, apparently. The place also boasts a function room, where some of our greatest comic luminaries have performed; think Aisling Bee, Katherine Ryan, Romesh Ranganathan and Jack Whitehall.
I attempted to enter this place when COVID restrictions were partially lifted but it was rammed. The interior is very much modernised and opened out, with a new bar back with obligatory white ceramic tiles, open kitchen, raised periphery, walls of either striped white and yellow shiny tiles, bare brick or plain white with décor amounting to a metal cage filled with bottles. Furniture is conventional, an unmemorable soundtrack and the place was almost deserted on my Saturday mid-evening visit, unlike the Dog House, opposite.
An ale choice amounted to one unused pump then the fruit salad that is Wandle at £2.70 a half and a bit diacetyl, served by a floaty barman.
This isn’t a great place; the Dog House is across the road and the Black Prince and Old Red Lion are also close at hand.

Our Friday lunchtime visit found this modern interior pub very much functioning as a restaurant and I think we were the only people in who were not eating. Modern gastro pub open plan style which I imagine functions a lot better as a bar in the evening when the food service has stopped. But at lunchtime it is almost devoid of atmosphere except for the noise of clinking cutlery and munching. Fortunately there are still a good choice of traditional pubs in the area so we didn’t linger long, despite the fact that the two of the three pumps that were in operation were dispensing decent enough pints of TT Landlord and Sambrook’s summer seasonal Pumphouse Pale Ale.

The Tommyfield is a large corner pub that is almost opposite the Dog House.
Once inside there is a largish oblong shaped room,the bar is situated to the rear left,there is a narrow raised area which runs down the right side,this area seemed to be favoured by diners,there is also a very small raised area to the front left,the main area had a mix of seating types,there was a large screen about three quarters down the room showing rugby,there is an open kitchen to the rear which is also on a raised area.
There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Sambrooks Pumphouse Pale Ale which went down well,the other beer was Taylor Landlord.
This pub is a gastro type place but i was happy enough drinking in here.
