| A nice, traditional pub in [[Locale Lewisham|Lewisham]]. It's about 15-20 minutes' walk from [[Lewisham station]] (zone 2), and about 5 from [[Ladywell Station|Ladywell]] (zone 3). The original hanging sign indicates it was once called "The Jordan" (though we confirmed with a staff member on our October 2008 visit that it's definitely called the Jolly Farmers now). |
<b>Note:</b> 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. |

It has a beer garden, a quiz machine, and five handpumps. They have a selection of good wines as well, and in general this pub is much better than the nearby [[Fox And Firkin, SE13 6JZ|Fox & Firkin]] for quality of drinks (it's just more expensive) and is also a fair bit quieter. |

[[Kake]], [[Ewan]], [[secretlondon]], [[her welshness]], and James visited on a Friday evening in October 2008. Four of the five handpumps were on, offering Young's Ordinary and Special, Doom Bar (£2.80/pint), and Archers Golden. [[Kake]] had no trouble finding a table on arrival a little after 6pm, though most if not all of the seats in the pub were taken by the time we left around 8pm. |
It has a beer garden, a quiz machine, and several real ales on draught including a few fruity, strong ales.

The decor is perhaps a little sparse, with large bare wooden tables, and it was quite well-lit on our evening visit, but it doesn't feel unwelcoming, and its small size means it still feels fairly cosy. |
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. |

As of February 2008, food was served noon-3:30pm Tuesday to Friday, and 12:30-3pm Sunday; though according to the BITE comments linked below, there was a change of management in September 2008 and so this may no longer be the case. |
Expect to find off-duty doctors and nurses in here, due to its proximity to the hospital. |

There also used to be comfy sofas - were these still there on our most recent visit? [[Kake]] didn't notice any. Expect to find off-duty doctors and nurses in here, as it's right next door to a university hospital. |
