About Three Colts Tavern
Three Colts Tavern is a craft beer pub on Cambridge Heath Rd in London, with a Short Road Pizzas kitchen serving thin-crust, Romana-style pizzas. The pizza menu covers meat, cheese, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, and chilli oil or burrata can be added on top. The bar pours beers from Exhale alongside guest and independent breweries. The Glue Factory is a dedicated private party venue on the premises, set up for birthdays, work socials and late-night celebrations with groups in mind. A shuffleboard table sits in the main space. The pub is walk-in, and guests order at the counter and pay individually rather than opening a table tab. An indie and pop playlist plays through the pub.

Customer Review Summary
Pizza from the Short Road Pizzas kitchen is what most reviewers come for, calling it delicious and incredible. One self-described picky Italian pizza fan was won over, and another praised the balance of the toppings. Close behind are the craft and independent beers, including pours from Exhale, and an atmosphere reviewers like for its music and friendly staff. Diners also mention the chilli oil, burrata as an add-on, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, and a Monday pizza and pint deal that repeat visitors like. One group hosted an engagement party for over 30 guests in a reserved area. Complaints are specific. Ordering is at the pub counter with no table tab, so busy periods mean waiting and separate trips to pay. Reserved tables left one group scouting for a seat, one diner found the cacio e pepe pizza listed but no longer made, and the shuffleboard table felt sticky. One diner's "cowabunga" pepperoni pizza arrived burnt on the edges, and staff handed over a bag of crisps and offered less char next time.

“Been here multiple times for the pizza and a pint deal for £10 on a Monday. Added some Burrata for an extra £2.50. Great deal!”

“Amazing amazing pizza & atmosphere. Only downside is that you have to order at the pub counter and they don’t tab the table - meaning if counter is busy be ready to wait / you have to individually go up to order to be able to individually pay.”

“Hosted our engagement party here on a sunny Saturday. We had over 30 people attending and the staff had reserved a huge area for us to mingle in. Service was incredibly friendly, the pizzas were fab and everyone had a blast. It was the perfect place to host - thank you to all the staff! We will be back.”

“Pizza is apparently award winning. Was a bit skeptical. Tried the pizza. Really can't remember when I've had a better one. Flavour balance of the toppings was impeccable. My partner agreed. Also excellent elder-millenial indie/pop playlist. Also good independent beer options.”
