<div class="old_info"> Pub on Forest Hill Road in [[Locale East Dulwich|East Dulwich]], just south of Peckham Rye Park. |
It's a traditional British pub, with polished floorboards, big leather sofas in the "snug", and lots of dark wood. There's a Large beer garden with decking and lots of tables. |

<b>Note:</b> The Forest Hill Tavern underwent a change of management in January 2011, so our comments below may be out of date. An anonymous commenter tells us that real ale is still served (at £3/pint as of April 2011), and food is now served all day until 7pm Mon-Sat and noon-6pm (Sunday roasts) on Sunday. |
Real Ale is £3 a pint, draught beers are £3.10 to £3.35. A glass of wine is £3.50. House Doubles are also avaliable for £3.50. |

It's quite smart inside, with polished floorboards, big leather sofas, and lots of dark wood. There's a large beer garden out the back. According to the Southwark News review linked below, they have board games too (though we don't know if this is still the case following the management change). |
The main food is Served Monday to Saturday all day till 7, plus other items on a specials board. |

[[Kake]] visited early on a Monday evening in October 2008, prior to the change of management. Although they have at least two handpumps, they only had Spitfire on, so I had a pint of Strongbow (£3.20) instead. |
£5 Roasts are served on Sundays from 12-6 which really are real value for money |

I also had a ham and cheese baguette (£4.25, though advertised as £3.50 on the menu as the prices had gone up recently), and took the option of having it toasted. It was good, made with decent quality ingredients. It came with mustard, mayo, a side salad, and long, thin, crispy, presalted (but not too much) fries. |
Service is also very friendly and helpful. |

Service was very friendly and helpful. There were a few other customers in but I had no competition for the sofa. Piped music was playing but not too loudly. |
The Pub is also avaliable for functions. |

|
Slightly alarmingly, a notice in the toilets stated that on Friday and Saturday nights, "random searches are in operation for your safety and ID will be required to gain entry"; there's also a "smart casual" dress code on those nights, with hats, caps, and tracksuits being banned. |
Accessibility: A couple of steps up to get in, but it's all level once you're in. |
