Historical version 2 of Hob, SE23 3HE (view current version)

A pub just across the road from Forest Hill Station.

The internal space curves around, with a bar area opposite the main doors and some seating on couches with a few tables. There's a pool table up in the corner and a small beer garden at the side of the pub. Another room opens on to the bar area, which on a Sunday when Ewan visited was set up for a regular art and crafts fair, with small stall tables for various local crafts people.

The bar has four handpulls for ale, with Harvey's Sussex Best (£3.10/pint), Old Speckled Hen, Adnam's Broadside, and one off on Ewan's July 2009 visit. They have a few lagers as well, including Heineken, as well as bottled beers and ciders. Staff are friendly and approachable.

There's an upstairs function room which puts on regular comedy performances courtesy of the East Dulwich Comedy Club. It's a decent size, holding about 100, and has a separate smaller bar, with only two draught lagers (Kronenbourg is one of them) and a small range of bottled beer and a few spirits.

A pub quiz is held on Thursday evenings.
