The Fat Walrus 44 Lewisham Way, London SE14 6NP

"A good range of local beers, nice food menu, beer garden and variety of spaces to hang out. What’s not to like? Located on the slightly odd one-way triangle as Lewisham Way comes into New Cross (by Goldsmiths Uni), this gastro-pub is in the New Cross / Walpole style. Tables are made with hefty industrial pipe and large varnished plywood tops. Some have comfy benches, while outside is more picnic table in the beer garden. You can sit out front … but it’s on the main road. The staff are friendly and efficient. You can order via the app, at the bar or just by asking a server - having the choice is nice. The beer menu is the kind that was edgy a few years ago but now seems common place. The food menu similarly isn’t that adventurous but has what you want."

"Three years ago, I posted the short review for The Fat Walrus, just saying "Really excellent Sunday roasts". They are excellent, and I have to say that we've never had anything but great food at this pub. BUT, after last weekend, we'll think before going back again. There were three of us, and we had great food as usual, but we felt the bill was too high. They have restaurant prices anyway, but we thought something didn't add up. We questioned the bill and, after more than ten minutes, we discovered that we'd been charged over £30 for beer that should have been around £17. When I questioned how that could have happened, the member of staff said "I must have pressed the wrong buttons". We'd also been charged £1.50 for 50ml jug of extra gravy (I'd asked for a bit more because there wasn't much on my plate). Never had to pay for extra gravy before, but they're charging £30 per litre! When I questioned this (I had not been told there would be a charge), the staff member just said "sorry". It's a lovely pub with a nice outdoor area, and we probably will go again, but not to eat. If you eat there, enjoy the food, but our advice would be to check your bill carefully."

"Had the most delicious Sunday roast yesterday. Everything was really well cooked and very tasty but I must say the beef was cooked to perfection. Staff really friendly and welcoming. I look forward to my next trip to the Fat Walrus. Thank you so much!"

"So lucky to have this place locally to me. Food has always been consistent and service is always great. Staff members are very professional, friendly and efficient. Love the beer garden as well, so good for summer time. Do try out this place, they also have a great drinks menu."
