As of October 2009, food is served noon-2:30pm (not sure which days) and quiz night is Wednesday. |
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. |

There used to be comfy sofas — were these still there on our most recent visit? [[Kake]] didn't notice any. |

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" (though we confirmed with a staff member on our October 2008 visit that it's definitely called the Jolly Farmers now).
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 & 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.
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.
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.
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.
