Pub fare in Welling

“Beautiful place to stay. Food and drinks outstanding! Let's don't forget about the Smith's Cocktail Bar!”

“Update........ Tryed the fish Friday menu tonight and was delicious, plus you can still order from the bistro menu so plenty of choices including whole lobster and surf and turf. There's a pre book Christmas menu available for the 1st-23rd of December which looks excellent value for money, small deposit required. Great building with plenty of history. Booked bistro for a Sunday roast dinner. Foods good, does get very busy especially for Sunday lunches. Nice bistro and courtyard. Staff amazing! Professional, polite and attentive. Will definitely revisit and try the fish menu available on Friday's. Very limited parking.”

“This place is amazing! Can’t believe there is a pub which serves Thai food. Apparently they also serve Japanese food but I went with Thai food instead. The portion was generous on my Tom yam and pad Thai. It’s definitely well presented. Tom yam may not be the best soury spicy taste but good enough to give a kick to my mouth. The location is amazing right opposite the train station. Definitely would recommend people to come here if you would like some Asian Thai or Japanese food.”

“Very spacious and friendly pub. It’s in a beautiful location by the river, and has plenty of outdoor seating as well as indoor. I haven’t eaten here (only had drinks) but the menu looks good. Staff were friendly and toilets were clean.”

“From not visiting since this pub was The Mag 7 years ago have just returned from another superbly cooked Sunday lunch (twice in 2 weeks). Without doubt the best Sunday lunch in the surrounding areas. Last week we all had the beautifully cooked rare roast beef (actually rare which is .......rare!) accompanied by a large fluffy Yorkshire, crisp green beans and peas and carrots that still had a bit of a crunch. Covered in a very lovely gravy. Our 10 year old daughter, who is quite a fussy eater, had gravy on the side and Iggy our very friendly waitress quite happily swapped out roast potatoes for chips. A shared flavoursome, but light sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream rounded off a great Sunday lunch. A very good and extensive wine list, we opted for a bottle of the Italian house red which was light and went well with the beef. We have just returned from our second visit. Iggy immediately acknowledged our us and who said " I remember you" to our daughter "Adult sized rare roast beef" . However, this afternoon my wife wanted to try the port belly and out daughter was unsure. Our very friendly waiter, Alex, said to our daughter, "If you don't like it, we will happily swap out to beef" taking the pressure off. The good sizes pork belly was amazing, hint of fennel and pull apart, melt in your mouth meat, topped with a light and crunchy crackling (not a soggy/ hard bit in sight). To be fair we were all quite full, but managed some stilton and a dessert wine, our daughter couldn't be tempted ...to another sticky pudding (so no photo). The very friendly and professional manager Chris runs the team well and good to see new joints on the side in the open kitchen at 5pm. Only concern about booking later than we had last week would be that the quality might not be maintained, but if anything, my rare beef and everything else was even better than our lunch at 1.30 last Sunday. The Lordship have Sunday lunch nailed and will be returning soon. Keep up the good work Chris and the team, Sunday Lunch should be easy, but so many pubs fail in this area. Will continue to be a firm Sunday lunch favourite of ours. See you soon! Had another very lovely Sunday lunch here on the 29th May. We had a lovely welcome from the manager Chris and were again expertly looked after by the excellent team Alex (who greeted us like friends) and Elise who is new and equally friendly and professional. We all opted for the roast lamb, expertly cooked, delicious and pink. Keep up the good work and see you on the 19th June for Fathers Day. No pressure!! Terence, Anouska and Phelix”

“We liked this pub. Very clean and excellent selection of craft beers on tap. Service was on point. We've walked past this pub on previous trips but never made it in until this visit.”

“Went for the England game. Really great atmosphere. Guinness was top notch. Staff very friendly, efficient and professional. The Scottish trout with girolles was exceptional - highest quality pub food I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend.”

“Friendly spot run by Herman and Neville. They run a good show, enjoyable.”

“What a great afternoon we had with 5 kids and food was great limited menu due to chef being on paternity leave but decided to stay for lunch it was amazing. Staff are exactly what you you want from a pub very accommodating and very friendly, Bromley and Rob you made our Sunday afternoon it was so lovely to talk to you and thank you so much for interacting with our kids we will defo be back next Sunday and for 3rd of march xx”

“Very much a hidden gem, great music, good beer. Head down support your local pub”

“Had a lovely breakfast, continental was laid out to help yourself, but we also ordered a cooked breakfast too. The waitress was extremely helpful and even went to the local store to see if they had any black pudding as the hotel had run out. Really great service and the food was really good too.”

“We ate here today. Food was super hot, fresh and exquisitely tasty. The team are friendly, the service and pace delightful. The setting is beautiful. We can’t wait to go back in the warmer drier months. But don’t miss out on the cosiness you feel in there even now in wet December !”

“Absolutely amazing. Makes living in the area that much better!”

“Had a lot of time to spare between flights so we were looking for a place to eat in our terminal. Everything was fantastic. Loved the pizza, very light and fresh, and my husband also said his steak was great. Food was also reasonably priced, not a rip off like some airport restaurants.”

“Really tasty high-end pub fare and excellent service”

“Great service and excellent Malbec. We didn't try the significant collection of gins but will do in future . Smiling and friendly staff. Local clients which have a sense of community..dogs allowed and welcome. I will be back !”

“Great place to hang out, play some board games, get a happy hour cocktail or a pint of Guinness... A lovely, cozy and warm place, my favorite bar in Peckham!”

“One of the best fish and chips shop so far. Also the staff were extremely friendly . will definitely go back again .”

“4 real ales. Nice and cosy, 10 locals in and a great place for a nice chat. Tuesday quiz night.”

“Run by a lovely Italian family. The food is good and authentic. They have a varied menu, they have the most amazing fresh pizzas too. They have their own car park too which is always a bonus.”

“Surprisingly deep pub with very narrow frontage. Great food and atmosphere. Loverly old time feel to it.”

“Friendly pub with a great selection of beers. Massive pub garden with stunning views. If you're in the area check it out!”

“Popped in late one Wednesday and were greeted warmly with a polite and happy barmaid. Helpful with information and local knowledge, the London Pride is just as good. We loved it.”

“Very busy on pie day. Busiest pub I’ve been in on a Friday afternoon. Great atmosphere. Loved it. Well done!!”

“I've featured my local Big Smoke pub before but on the rare occasion I found The Albion mostly empty, and serving the exceptional A&H London Black from the official glassware, I figured it was time to feature a review. I believe this was the second pub Big Smoke opened, building on the success of The Antelope in Surbiton. It's been here as long as I can remember, and at one stage had a Gin Distillery out the back which I think is now just garden seating (opted not to pap this, but there's a huge garden there with beer festivals held in the summer). Indoors, it's familiar to those who know the chain. Wooden panelling, ample seating, vinyl soundtracked vibe, 10+ ales and ciders, a multitude of keg offerings too including 2 AF options in the form of Lucky Saint and their own AF beer which has gone down well over the past month. You get a mixture of students, weekend shoppers, families and real ale folk in here, it's a nice melting pot of booze enthusiasts and those looking for a pub not surrounded by Vape Shops, a step away from the town centre, outside of the rampant demolition you see taking over Kingston. It's sort of a home away from home, despite only being some 15-20 minutes down the road from me, a chain familiarity but still less polished than those brand new Big Smoke pubs you spot in greater London. With time to kill it can be a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of town, but with Rugby on and one of the few spacious family friendly pubs in the area it can get quite hectic. A nice problem to have for Big Smoke. Food again is similar to the other sites, a sort of BBQ meets pub grub style, with plenty of bits in-between to choose from. See the place pack out for weekends with roasts on, and various offers during the week. The pub dates back to 1845, little known about its history other than it was advertised as a sort of taproom with a view to watch the recreational sports on the green. Once Greene King, now Big Smoke, another one saved from mediocrity.”

“Amazing place, beautifully decorated, the food is amazing, with friendly staff & a relax environment. I would highly recommend”

“Going to "The Plume" is like seeing an old friend, small things change but essentially the best bits remain. Fortunate because I met an old friend there and we quaffed excellent Harveys bitter and lager, eating well off of their seasonally changing menu. They are still misguided in their football affilliation, but that aside it's a well kept, well run pub and worth a visit to recharge after a brisk walk in the park.Recent managers installed who love the pub and don't see the need to change anything. Held a wake there and food excellent with great service. a pub that deserves to succeed.”
