Out the front a covered area has been constructed, while inside some period features are retained. There's a particularly attractive bar area, as well as plentiful wooden pews in the capacious rear room. A vast map of the world decorates one wall, while on the other side of the pub are two open fires with fresh logs of wood giving off a little bit of extra heat. |

The just-new smell lingers, but will no doubt fade over time, and if the opening night crowds are anything to go by, the pub should be popular. |

There are four handpulls for ale at the bar, serving Fuller's London Pride and Chiswick, and Gale's HSB and Swing Low on the pub's opening (unchanged a month later), well-kept as you'd expect. There are also a range of regular lagers, as well as Fuller's Honey Dew, Litovel (original and red, with slightly higher alcohol percentage), and Leffe. |

Food is served, a fairly short menu including Sunday roasts, and the place was packed out on its first Sunday. There's a specials board above the bar, listing a number of vegetarian options. On a Sunday visit in April 2009, the menu had four mains options (beef and lamb roasts, a fish pie, and a vegetarian choice), as well as a few starters and some desserts. [[Ewan]] and Jo had the vegetarian option, a perfectly decent asparagus risotto, with shaving of parmesan on top (£8). [[Sarah]]'s lamb roast was substantial, with plenty of trimmings (£8.50). |

A refurbished pub in the Telegraph Hill area of New Cross, which reopened on 26 February 2009.
Until a few years ago, when it closed, the Earl of Derby was a local pub serving a residential side-street north of New Cross Road, at the edge of Telegraph Hill. The area, like the pub, has become greatly gentrified over recent years and has now reopened as something fitting its new tranche of local residents.
