The Birchwood Grovebury Road, London SE2 9BB

"Great pub and vibe. The decorations on Halloween and Xmas holidays are amazing."

"Recommended. We've been going to this pub for quite a few years now, usually on a Sunday. We've also hired the function room. Real ale is available, as well as Guinness (which is decent, it's an Irish pub!). Regulars are friendly. Attentive and friendly staff, including landlady Jane, plus Shona and chef Marie. There's frequent entertainment, including the excellent Karaoke DJ Ricky on the Sunday closest to the end of each month, and starts 5pm-ish (sporting events can delay start). But confirm when event is on by Facebook page or phoning. A big "L" shaped bar area on the ground floor, with a central fireplace. Dining area at the top of the L. There's also a large function room available at the opposite end of the L, which has its own bar. That is at the far end of the corridor where the toilets are. There's a few bench tables out front and more seating in screened garden (full of flowers) at the side. It's on the 469 bus route and your stop is helpfully announced as "The Birchwood" - bus stops right outside. The street outside is unrestricted, park where you want (except on the bus stop!)."

"One of my favourite pub's, in Abbey Wood. I don't go in there much. But when I do, the locals and staff are very friendly and welcoming. The landlady, always engages with her customers. Old or new and the Sunday roast dinner is top notch too...!"

"Absolutely loved the Sunday Roast here. Great value for money and the staff are really welcoming and friendly. Also you can actually have a quiet conversation and a calming Sunday roast as, while there is music, it's from the other bar down the hallway."
