A vibrant and atmospheric venue, The Herne Tavern offers a spacious and inviting space, complemented by one of the best beer gardens—ideal for both sun-drenched afternoons and shaded retreats. This traditional pub is family-friendly, with a welcoming environment and courteous staff contributing to a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. Culinary offerings range from classic Sunday roasts, like the Beef Wellington accompanied by fresh vegetables, to crowd-pleasing burgers. While some dishes have drawn criticism for portion size and temperature, others highlight its fine seasoning and popular sticky toffee pudding. The drink menu boasts an impressive selection, featuring well-curated cask ales and refreshing options suitable for various palates. Met with both charm and potential areas for improvement, The Herne maintains an enduring appeal amidst a picturesque locale near Peckham Rye Park.
