  “I visited here on a Saturday night with my friends before we made our way to a nearby nightclub (MOT). When we walked in, it felt like we had travelled 40 years back in time. The decor was dated and the atmosphere was of a local, no frills pub. The bartender was a friendly Londoner with down to earth charm and banter. He joked with us about the age of the carpet and made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed two good-value rounds in the quiet environment and struck up conversations with some of the locals. It was a great experience. We got a taste of real community and local London, compared with the 'trendy', often characterless, pubs. Would definitely return if we're in the area again - especially to be served by our bartender friend.”

  “What a proper little boozer!! From Essex but came here for Millwall games. Not many pubs still do free bar snacks! Let alone free sandwiches”

  “This is a proper solid drinking spot in Rotherhithe / Surrey Quays. There are no airs or graces here in this south London pub but you will find people who know each other and a friendly welcome from behind the bar. The place is small and narrow but it has all the enjoyable features of a classic local boozer. There's a pool table with free games on Thursdays, filled rolls to soak up the lager, a beer garden, a free juke box on Sundays, sports on TV, darts, old boys enjoying an afternoon drink, lager and a pub dog. There's a sense of community here too, which is welcome. While the black frontage needs a bit of a freshen up, it's a decent place to stop off for a pint. As I found out, it's also a good starting point for a pub crawl. These kind of pubs are so vital, they are the familiar face in difficult times. Glad this one still exists. It's part of the Town Centre Inns group which operates 16 small pubs in London and the South East.”

  “I stopped by this fantastic South London bar recently, and it instantly became one of my new favourites. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a chic, modern interior—ambient lighting, plush seating, and a vibe that strikes the perfect balance between lively and laid-back. The cocktails were the real highlight. Each one felt like its own little work of art—creative flavour combinations, beautifully garnished, and mixed with real expertise. You can tell the bartenders are passionate about what they do, and they were more than happy to recommend drinks tailored to our tastes. Service was warm, friendly, and refreshingly professional. Despite how busy the place was, everything ran smoothly, and we never felt rushed. Whether you’re out for a celebratory night or just looking for an elegant spot to unwind, this bar is an absolute must-visit. South London has its fair share of great places, but this one stands out in all the best ways. I’ll definitely be back!”

  “In the best way possible- a total dive, genuinely nostalgic for anyone who misses the old English institution of the pub. I grew up in pubs just like this, and worried I wouldn’t be able to find somewhere like this in London, but here it is, and it’s glorious. Full of wonderful old boys who stay all day to watch the football, featuring a cat and a dog who live at the pub, pool table, enclosed back area for smoking. The barlady takes really good care of everyone!”

  “with the quality of the burgers at McDonald's. For a fast food chain that prides itself on serving up classic burgers, this was a major letdown. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a better burger experience.”

  “🚇 Surrey Quays 🍺 £5.10 Madri ❤️ A warm and friendly locals boozer. . The Farriers Arms is located on Lower Road in SE8 near Surrey Quays where Deptford meets Rotherhithe. The nearest station is Surrey Quays which is about a three minute walk. . This narrow fronted pub was built in 1869 by Charringtons and stands head and shoulders above the terrace of shops that is situated within. See last photo for how the pub looked in 1899. . This one bar pub is long and thin with the servery situated on the left hand side. At the front is a small raised area, at the rear is an open area which has a pool table. The walls are clad in light green tongue and groove panels and painted cream above. There is a proper pub carpet which is a bit worn than runs throughout. The seating is low level and there are few stools around the bar. At the back of the pub is a small beer garden. . The beer line up is straightforward keg options which are popular with the locals. I had a a pint of Madri which had recently been added to the line up. My pint was good and pleasingly cost just over a fiver. This is a wet-led pub that doesn’t sell food. . I arrived around 1pm on a Saturday afternoon and got a warm welcome from the lovely lady who was on duty behind the bar. There were half dozen or so punters in dotted around the pub and loads of banter going on with regulars sat around the bar. The atmosphere here was upbeat, I got talking to a few locals about Madri as they hadn’t tried it yet, everyone here was so friendly. This pub shows live sport on a couple of screens if you fancy catching a game. Throughout the month there are Karaoke and disco’s plus free pool and jukebox nights. . The @farriersarmspub is a warm and welcoming friendly local pub that I loved visiting. It’s not the most aesthetically pleasing place you’ll ever visit but who cares, this is a pub where people come first. The service was personable, the beer is good value, whats not to like. Get this pub on your must visit list. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 22.4.23”
