The Best Restaurants in Deptford, South East London | Eater London

"A 19th Century corner pub with a sizeable beer garden, the venue serves an à la carte menu during the week, but the Sunday roast is the main draw. Expect the likes of roast sirloin cooked medium-rare, superlative roast potatoes, horseradish cream, cabbage aggressed by lashings of butter and dreamy fondant carrots. Moreover, the pub’s reasonable line up of draught beers includes selections from Camden Town brewery and the local Meantime." - Jonathan Hatchman

This pub looks absolutely stunning from the street, full of classic Victorian character that really draws you in. But once inside, it’s a different story. The atmosphere feels more chaotic than cosy, with too many screens and not enough warmth. It’s a real shame for us, as it’s our local, but we often find ourselves avoiding it. So much wasted potential.

Went to the Brookmill to eat for the first time in ages last night. It happened to be ‘steak night’ so that made it an easy choice for me, choosing from the full menu would have been more tricky as the selection on offer is extensive and I would imagine anyone would have trouble choosing what to have. The steak was cooked exactly how I like it and was accompanied by the usual salad and chips (big and chunky, perfect with a steak) and I added a side of onion rings (big and crispy), mushrooms and peppercorn sauce (clearly made from scratch with love) - top marks to the chef. Despite there being a function on upstairs, so the pub was busier than usual, the service was relatively prompt and very friendly. Of particular note was the young lady serving, she noticed we had our dog and could see we were looking for a table immediately came over to let us know there was a small area where dogs weren’t allowed but anywhere else was fine - I imagine the restricted area was because it was the route in and out of the kitchen. All in all a very pleasant evening out, we will be back and will have to try hard not to make it ‘steak night’ so I can try some of the other options - maybe even one of the 6 or so burgers on offer.

We’ve been coming here for years and can always rely on it for tasty generous food and a welcoming relaxed atmosphere. We just held our wedding party in the upstairs function room and couldn’t have asked for any better. Food was delicious and service impeccable. From helpful suggestions to help us plan the whole thing, to the efficient delivery of the buffet, right up to putting in a disco light when the dancing started, everything went smoothly which meant we could relax and enjoy the whole thing. Massive thank you to Paul and all the staff!

The Brookmill pub was a great location for an event that I attended. The event was held in the upstairs function area that had a tidy little bar, which was manned perfectly bar staff. Downstairs, the pub was lively with a great atmosphere throughout. Later on in the evening, a live act arrived and kept the vibes alive with their guitars and country classics. The pub garden is a great spot to hang out and enjoy some food and drink while the evening draws in under a warm sky. Hidden away, the Lewisham/Deptford locals have a very welcoming and tidy little pub to attend... very lucky! I'm not really a pub guy, but I'd definitely recommend The Brookmill. Well done to all the staff who keep the pub running well.

Absolutely loved my visit to this cozy, authentic local pub! The Sunday roast was fantastic—generous enough for two. The local Rodeo beer was a delightful surprise. It’s a great spot to watch food all or rugby, with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Plus, it’s dog-friendly and family-friendly! The service was quick, with my roast arriving in just 5-10 minutes. Highly recommend supporting this gem!

Fantastic place to stay in the heart of a lovely part of London. The room was very quiet, given that there's so much going on in the pub downstairs. Everything was spotless, a great mattress, powerful shower, and a kettle with welcome snacks.

Stayed at the Brookmill for one night for an event in London. Welcomed by the host who was very helpful. Room lovely and clean. Complimentary tea, coffee, muffin, porridge pot and water. Easy to get too from train station. We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on that although the food coming out looked lovely.

Great pub with bedrooms. Can be a bit noisy so bear this in mind before booking. This is the second time we stayed- good value and convenient location. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, but are directly above the function room, so expect there will be noise until 11:30 pm, and not all the windows are double glazed, so there may be some noise from the street. We brought earplugs so were not bothered. Service level is basic with no-one on site overnight, but the accommodation is accessed via a code locked door and we felt secure. You can get brunch from the pub after 10am. I can't comment on the food, but the pub is a great place for a drink.

Really nice pub. My first time in considering I live locally. It is not noisy. That bares mentioning because I've had enough of music blaring from eateries & disturbing the peace. It's a rustic decor & feels cosy. I like the spacing of tables too. Toilets are in very good order; always a good indicator of the overall hygiene of the place. Food was so good. We had the haddock fishcake & chicken wing skewers to start. My fav were the wings & the spicy, delicious sauce that accompanied them. Wish I had some now. Went for the classic burger and the salmon. Both get 2 yums up. The burger was cooked beautifully medium & nothing more was needed, not even salt or pepper; the accompaniments were great. Service with a smile & no hovering around. Yes, really nice pub. I'll be back!

Totally a fan of this place. Listing the reasons: - solid food ( I mean we were surprised with the options and quality) - dog friendly, which is huge on a cold night - great atmosphere - solid brews and cocktails - friendly and accommodating The only thing I'd say they could on is the reservation structure. In the bar area, we were told there were open tables but almost all were reserved, and marked in a not so obvious way. I think pubs in particular should always have a free-sitting area for those who amble in, but that's just me. We had to move around a few times in order to eat.

Very warm, newly refurbed bar with lots of character, striped wood floors, painted church pews. Luxurious and great attention to detail. Nice selection of draft ales, ciders and beers and it's worth having a glass of wine just for the glass! Cocktails on offer, but I cannot comment on quality of these... Good prices. Great place to snug away from the rain with friends.
