"Catford’s most famous pub has a troubled past. Saved from permanent closure in 2012 after a vigorous local campaign, it was devastated by fire three years later, reopening in 2017 under the current name. There’s an excellent range of local brews in bottle, including Catford Pride, whose label features the aforementioned Catford Cat. The beer is bolstered by a dependable menu of pub grub stalwarts — burgers, scotch eggs, and fish and chips. The cheese toastie is eminently satisfying, and the Toulouse sausages with creamy mash make for a garlicky, buckle-busting arrangement: the perfect pre-snooze Sunday lunch." - Helen Graves
