The Capitol

Driven past this pub hundreds, if not thousands of times but never been in, found out it was closing so had to make a pilgrimage over. So glad I did, such a cavernous building, probably one of the biggest spoons I've been in. Staff were fantastic, beer was good, no complaints from me. Such a shame its closing today for good

Great history to this building which soon as you walk in there is some info, lovely high ceilings and decor. Food is affordable and decent, female toilets are very spacious and has some seating inside. Can get noisy depending on the time go. Handy ordering from the app if not prefer to que for an order. Has a small outdoor area with tables.

A converted theatre carefully restored to retain some original features. Conveniently suited near Forest Hill train station and good public transport links. Parking is restricted in front of the building as it on a red line route. However there is ample parking behind Sainsburys Store. There are 2 seating levels with an outside garden area prefect in the summer. There are large round tables which was great as we were a group of 8 adults. They served classic pub menus with specific nights like Curry Nights. There is no loud music so its a great spot for peace and quiet. The atmosphere was relaxing with the feeling of space in that you are not sitting on top of each other. The decorations and high ceilings and pictures on the walls add to the ambiance. Free WiFi is also available. There is a family seating area at the front of the building. The food is good value for money. I certainly will visit again.
