5 /5 Grace Salt: I absolutely LOVE the Sylvan post for a top quality roast, and I regularly bring different friends/family here when I need my fix! Lovely decor and atmosphere, it can be a bit noisy on a Sunday but thats because its clearly quite popular!
4 /5 Gina Brown: Ive been so many times for the last few years and Ive never been disappointed with the food .... top marks every time .... I hope chef/cook know that her/his/their cooking is unique, good quality and always the correct portion.
Staff are very nice too.
I always feel comfy and welcome there.
Nice atmosphere every time .... thanks for blessing Forest Hill with your presence.

4 /5 Mark Milaszkiewicz: The food was amazing. I can’t fault that at all. Steak cooked as I ordered.
Bar service brilliant too, reasonable selection of beers including a Yorkshire Lager “Madri”.
One cask, a few indie beers too, and Portobello who the place is tied to.
Slightly slow at clearing the plates after food service.
Music actually too quiet as the pub got busier.
5 /5 Carr John (Corinne and John): Very good Portobello pub in a former post office about five minutes walk from Forest Hill Railway Station. Two cask beers on handpump when I visited. Lots of outdoor seating at the front.
The pub retains many of the original features from the post office including the two strongrooms which have been converted into small booths.
5 /5 S F: Best pub in the area! Old converted post office so amazing vaults for seating in the back. Friendly staff, great beer selection including non-alcoholic options. Fun pub quiz and good for big sport games too.
Large outdoor seating area out the front.
Love this place.
Amraz Cosy little restaurant, seems family run. Very enjoyable meal in a welcoming environment.
Would highly recommend a visit if youre in the area. You wont be disappointed!
AFZAL SHAKIL Lovely food options. Great size portions. Creamy Garlic Chicken mushroom Pasta was delicious. Chocolate Dream Cake dessert is BANGIN! Very welcoming and friendly staff. Great customer service. Highly Recomended
Kal M Absolutely fantastic service, first time there and will definitely come back. We got to sit in the pod outside and definitely worth doing, only open in the winter season.
Food was great tasting and well put together. Moh was excellent thoughout the day and helped us where we needed. All the staff were excellent to be fair
Overall great place, great atmosphere inside and certainly worth visiting.
Lionel Messi Extremely good service and good I really think this should be the best Burger King in the world and the manager Sid is the kindest guy to ever live he gave my starving friend a free meal out of his kindness big up Sid spam w for Sid
Mike Bishop What a fantastic place. Beautiful food (get the French Toast!), lovely staff, and just a great vibe sitting directly next to the aerodrome watching all the old rich white dudes fly their microlights and helicopters.
We will absolutely be back again for the cake, which looked like huge slabs of deliciousness.
Apparently they deliver, and Im glad for my waistline that Im not local.
