"East Dulwich’s best boozer has not one but two fireplaces, both of which blaze invitingly when there’s a nip in the air. The Victorian building feels homely and well-loved, with chintzy wallpaper and a hotchpotch of wooden chairs, and the food is reliably excellent, whether it’s brunch — ‘nduja toast with poached eggs, cinnamon-bacon waffles — or a special-occasion supper — hake with orzo and mussel cream, girolles with kohlrabi, cavolo nero and black truffle. There’s a strong wine list, too." - Emma Hughes

Where to Eat in East Dulwich, London | Eater London

"Most of East Dulwich’s pubs (and they are legion) tout themselves with the much-maligned prefix these days but The Palmerston remains SE22’s original and probably most consistent gastropub. While the likes of EDT and The Actress are good choices for a boozy evening out with a bit of food thrown in, here it is the other way round. Its cosy backroom dining area is formal, but not stuffily so, and the kitchen applies a delicate touch to carefully-sourced ingredients in dishes like Cornish sea trout tartare with capers and dill." - Isaac Parham
