Note: According to the BITE comments linked below, the Jolly Farmers closed briefly in early September 2008 before reopening with a change of management and a name change back to "The Jordan". We went to the new incarnation and it is still called the Jolly Farmers.

A nice, traditional pub in Lewisham. It's about 15-20 minutes' walk from Lewisham station (zone 2), and about 5 from Ladywell (zone 3). The original hanging sign indicates it was once called "The Jordan".

It has a beer garden, a quiz machine, and several real ales on draught including a few fruity, strong ales. The have a selection of good wines as well, and in general this pub is much better than the nearby Fox & Firkin for quality of drinks (it's just more expensive) and is also a fair bit quieter.

Food is served noon-3:30pm Tuesday to Friday, and 12:30-3pm Sunday. Haven't yet investigated the food situation, but there are comfy sofas and the staff are really nice. Perfect for lazy, rainy Sunday afternoons.

Expect to find off-duty doctors and nurses in here, due to its proximity to the hospital.
