The floor is hardwood, and assorted lamps hang from the ceiling by the bar. There's a beer garden in the rear, mostly concrete with plenty of tables. |
There were very few customers in throughout our visit, from when [[Kake]] arrived shortly after the 4pm opening time to when we left a little before 8pm. Service was friendly though. Music was playing, various indie hits from the '90s and '00s (Manic Street Preachers, Portishead, The Killers, Eels, REM). |

A completely different set of ales were on during [[Ewan]]'s visit in March 2012, suggesting they change them regularly. An Adnam's Mild (£1.60/half) was pleasant, while they also offered a 2.8% ale for £2.30/pint. |
Our visit was just a couple of weeks after the initial opening, and the kitchen wasn't ready yet. However, [http://brockleycentral.blogspot.com/2011/09/ravensbourne-arms-celebrates-rocktober.html Brockley Central reports] that as of October 2011 food is available noon-3pm and 5pm-10pm Mon-Fri, noon-3pm and 5pm-9pm Sat, and noon-6pm Sun. |

On [[Ewan]]'s Sunday afternoon visit in March 2012, there were more customers in evidence and the pub presented a pleasant relaxed environment, with only faint background music. [http://brockleycentral.blogspot.com/2011/09/ravensbourne-arms-celebrates-rocktober.html According to Brockley Central], as of October 2011 food is available noon-3pm and 5pm-10pm Mon-Fri, noon-3pm and 5pm-9pm Sat, and noon-6pm Sun. The food menu is decent, with a good range of options. On a September 2012 visit, [[Ewan]] tried the fish and chips (billed as coley, the type of fish, £9) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/8005938537/ photo]</small>, which was good and crispy, served with tartare sauce. |

Accessibility: A small step to get in. Level to the ladies' once you're in (not sure about the gents'). One of the cubicles in the ladies' is extra-wide. Most of the seating is on the same level, but some is up a step or two.
