Picture of Black Sheep, SE5 0RS

Historical version 8 of Black Sheep, SE5 0RS (view current version)

A gentrified pub on Camberwell New Road, nearer Oval than Camberwell. Their web site says there are three of them, with other branches on Grove Lane in Camberwell and in Crystal Palace.

secretlondon went here one Sunday in September. They had a pub quiz on (it happens every Sunday apparently), and a young (studenty?) crowd. A TV was showing sport with the sound off and a leaflet said that they show football. Once the pub quiz was over they all left leaving half a dozen old men, and the pub started to play music rather than have the TV sound on.

There was one handpump, a rarity in this part of London, which had Black Sheep Bitter on (£2.70 I think). They also had Hoegaarden (£3.70) photo and Staropramen, as well as all the usual lagers.

They run happy hours and sell cocktails photo. There are tables outside at the front where you could smoke. There were signs advertising free wireless although I couldn't check this.

A blackboard seen outside in December 2008 advertised a "quick £3 lunch menu" available Monday to Friday.

Accessibility: One of the side entrances has no steps, and the front has a ramp and a small step. The toilets are on the same level.
