We were a group of 6 and had lunch in The Great North Wood after an excellent tour of West Norwood Cemetery. The pub was the perfect choice, great service and interaction with the team, excellent and positive atmosphere to relax, very comfortable and great food and drink. An excellent place to spend the afternoon and the artwork on the walls was excellent also. We would all definitely go back.

Great local pub. Bar staff always welcoming and knows who's next without having to ask. Delightful secret garden. Lots of tables, an upstairs overflow area if you need it. They host a bunch of great community nights - including life drawing 👀 - and their quiz is very winnable too.
