Pubs in the area
Being Londoners ourselves, at Cozee, we hold a strong bond with our regular visits to the local pub every week. Why should your experience be any different in your new home? That’s why we’ve thoroughly tested and reviewed all the pubs in West Dulwich. While we didn’t get the chance to personally visit each one, we certainly wish we could have. Here’s the curated list of the finest pubs in West Dulwich.
| Pub name Name | Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Alleyns Head | 100 Park Hall Road Dulwich SE21 8BW | Situated a short walk from the centre of leafy Dulwich is this large, welcoming M&B Ember Inns pub. Unusually for the area, it offers a range of five beers. Set on its own, the large bar has been effectively partitioned to provide an intimate and cosy environment, well served by the kitchen and its veritable smorgasbord of fish and meat dishes. |
| Crown & Greyhound | 73 Dulwich Village Dulwich SE21 7BJ | Large historic pub set in the heart of Dulwich village. Was once two premises – one for the gentry and one for the labourers. Well worth a visit to enjoy the architectural features in this multi-roomed gem. Large paved area at the front and landscaped garden to the rear. Modern classic food served, and 2-4 changing real ales usually available. Reopened in June 2017 after an extended period of closure while it was being converted and extended to provide hotel accommodation. |
| Rosendale | 65 Rosendale Road Dulwich SE21 8EZ | This pub, run by Three Cheers Pub Co., has an imposing entrance with a pillared portico, making it stand out from the surrounding buildings. Inside it has been completely modernised with the main focus on the restaurant situated on a raised area at the rear, though the bar area still occupies around half of the space. Some gastropub features are evident: charcoal indigo painted walls, sofas, armchairs and tall tables and stools, wine rack in the bar back, etc. There are no fruit or games machines, and there is some outside seating. A couple of decorative features warrant a mention: framed butterflies on a wall at the back end of the restaurant and a complete wall in the bar area taken by a contemporary depiction of London in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. In addition to the regular real ales, there are rotating guest beers from local and regional brewers. |
