The Telegraph at the Earl of Derby in Lewisham

A little gem of a pub and much bigger than it looks from the outside. The telegraph was the venue of my niece's 18th birthday party. and the staff were very helpful, friendly and accommodating.

Great independent local. Live music, comedy, real ales. Lovely exterior. Real shame this pub isn't more famous!

Love this place! Owners are so friendly and welcoming, really charming people. Nice and spacious. Good selection of drinks.

Went to The Telegraph the other day, the Management team were so lovely and welcoming and they have a great selection of Beaver Town 😁 We will be visiting again soon.

Love this local pub, always has a decent selection of beers and good value for money food. Dogs welcomed, which is great to see! They have a cracking pub quiz on Mondays at 8:30pm.

Had a fantastic birthday Sunday dinner

Visited just after a mini beer festival, so great selection of cask beers, including Siren Breakfast Stout. Friendly staff and locals. And I must return to try one of the "average Sunday roasts" which I'm told at actually AM-A-ZING (to quote Revel-horwood!). Will return, with others in tow!

Lovely staff. Nice chill atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon. Would definitely go back, but not for a roast because the food was not the one.

Good, slightly off the beaten track, New Cross pub. Effectively, two separate bars plus a smallish outside drinking area to the front. Two or three cask ales available. Friendly staff and has the feel of a real local pub.

This Five Star Pub Should Not Be The Best Kept Secret In Lewisham!This review sums up some visits made since 5th July 2019. It was on my first visit with a lovely friend Rima Bray that the lovely manager donated what turned out to be the best of eighty raffle prizes I collected in SE London a crowd funder for The Hill Station Community Café in nearby Kitto Rd, the prize was a meal for four, I will never forget your generosity for such an important cause.Although the management has changed the chef has not and so far both meals, fish and chips last year followed by Sunday Roast Pork on 23rd Feb 2020 were both so delicious they should be illegal. The roast just blasted my taste buds, the roasted beetroot was a master touch and those roast tatties my all time fave in 61 years. £14 and good value considering the exceptional quality and generous helping. There is always an excellent vegan option.This delightful pub appeals to me on so many levels, even with the fab old fashioned juke box you can actually hear yourself think and talk, this is ideal place to bring your friends for a shared meal or drinks and conversation. Perfect ambience with open fires in the winter, and a fab outdoor front garden terrace for the summer, coupled with lovely staff, customers and a great range of on tap beers at very reasonable prices, what more could you ask for?There are also three nights of activities including Monday Pub Quiz and Thursday Open Mic which from feedback is a wonderful evening.Most positive that there is a large noticeboard which shares events being held in the local community, and the offer of a FREE function room must surely have appeal for clubs and social groups?If you are reading about this fab pub for the first time, do visit, The Telegraph at The Earl of Derby should not remain the best kept secret in Lewisham!
