Lovely, homely, comfy, welcoming, and so friendly. This pub deserves all the credit it gets.... As soon as you enter into the Blythe Tavern you are greeted with such a great hospitality, it's like stepping into your grandparents kilarney kitchen but with front room... sofa spot. Drinks are reasonably priced, grab a pint of Guinness, and head to the garden on a summers day, or a snug lil seat on a winters day. Dog friendly, children friendly, clean toilets, and bar staff that are dressed to the occasion.

The Blythe Hill Tavern is one of the best and historical pubs of London located close in Stanstead Road, offering an incredible selection of the best beers and cocktails and delicious dishes and pizzas. Rino Siconolfi Instagram rino_siconolfi

We went here based on the reviews on Google and honestly we could not understand the allure. If you are looking for an old fashioned rustic pub this has those attributes in bundles but for us it lacked a buzz and we left without ordering. I could be wrong but it seemed the only food available was a classic well made margarita pizza.

What a gem. A bit out of the way( depending where you're coming from) but it has the lot. Even during a busy game I was never 10 seconds away from being served. All hues of Taytos on sale. Huge beer garden, lovely pints and topping it all, a class Guinness mural. One of the best Irish pubs in the UK.

🚇 Catford 🍺 £5.80 Guinness One of the Best Pubs in London. The Blythe Hill Tavern is located in South East London on the border between Catford and Forest Hill. The nearest station is Catford, it’s a ten minute walk to get here. The pub was built in the mid 19th century and started life as The Blythe Hill Hotel. This is three room pub with a public bar on the corner, a saloon to the left and a large room running across the back of the pub. The decor here is outstanding, so much so that it has been Grade II listed by Historic England. The walls are clad in dark wood panelling which originate from the 1920’s. Around the walls are a treasure trove of old signs, posters and mirrors relating to Irish writers, Irish brews and sporting pursuits. Other features include exposed beams, fireplaces that roar in winter, traditional seating and to top in off, a proper pub carpet. At the rear of the pub is a large beer garden that blooms in the summer. The beer lineup was great, there was a decent selection of four revolving cask ales, familiar favourites and of course Guinness. I ordered a pint of St Jame’s Gates finest, my pint was excellent and pleasingly cost less than six quid. There is food available here by way of @vandough pizzas. They serve up 10” pizzas which all cost in and around a tenner. Check their socials for timings. My brother and I arrived bang on opening at met Con the Guv’nor who was warm and welcoming. After ordering our pints we ended up having a great chat with Con about Ireland and London pubs in the 70’s and 80’s and the many characters that ran them. We were also chatting about The Arsenal as we are both fans and visiting Highbury and the pubs around there back in the day, what a lovely fella. The pub hosts Quiz Nights, Live Music, Live Premier League and Rugby. The @blythehilltavern is a Multi award winning pub which is traditional, welcoming, quirky and authentic. This is one of the best pubs I’ve visited, I loved everything about this place and Con the Guv’nor is an absolute diamond. If you have London pub to visit list, put this one at the top. ℹ️ Info correct 17.02.24
