The post-flood refurbishment was a sensitive one, retaining a traditional pub feel with wood panelling, etched and stained glass, and leaded windows in the front areas. Further in is a light, spacious dining area with a "distressed" ceiling and feature wall, all in pastel colours. Seating here is a mix of banquettes, small half-round armchairs, and padded upright chairs. Finally, there's a paved beer garden out the back. |
The pub [https://twitter.com/TheHalfMoonPub/status/843472185205407744 reopened] on 20 March 2017. We haven't visited since, but our assessment of it pre-closure can be seen [http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?id=Half_Moon%2C_SE24_9HU&version=9 on an older version of this page]. |

[[Kake]] visited for breakfast on a Friday morning in August 2018. There were quite a few people in for the same purpose when I arrived around 8:30am, including one large group who seemed to be staying in the hotel accommodation. Music was playing, so quietly that I couldn't hear what it was under the sound of conversation. The "continental buffet" looked a little sparse, with just three types of cereal, two types of pastry, and fruit, so instead I went for the eggs florentine (£7) <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/44102728502/ photo]</small>. The muffin had a good texture but was perhaps a little sweet for my taste. The hollandaise sauce was smooth, rich, and almost cheesy-tasting (in a good way). The yolks on the eggs were properly runny, but unfortunately the whites were also slightly runny. The spinach was very good: not overly tannic, cooked lightly, and not at all soggy. The sprigs of baby watercress on top weren't really necessary. Overall, it was a decent rendition and I'd order it again. Tea (£2.70) was provided by Teapigs, and arrived with a tiny bottle of milk and a cup set atop a Fuller's-branded saucer. Laptop-friendliness: They have WiFi provided by O2, which is free but requires registration. There's at least one set of plug sockets in the dining area, and they were happy for [[Kake]] to sit and work on a laptop after finishing breakfast. Child-friendliness: They have at least half a dozen highchairs, the type with no tray and very little back support. There's baby change facilities of some kind (not checked by us) in the accessible toilet. Accessibility: Ramp up to main entrance, tiny step (about 1cm) at side entrance. Step-free to garden (use the door past the toilets) and to the toilets, including an accessible one. |
