The Woolpack is a down-to-earth alternative to the Garrison opposite, even if its website witters on about 'unwinding in the heart of bohemian Bermondsey'.

The location is prosaic - a side street branching off from the London Bridge rail estuary - but that shouldn't detract from what's a quality two-floor pub-restaurant. Beer-wise, you'll find the likes of Kirin Ichiban, Leffe and Thwaites Nutty Black, while the dozen-strong wine list (by the glass and bottle) includes a few unusual offerings.

Mains are of the beer-battered haddock and chips or Cumberland sausage and mash variety, and cost around a tenner. The smaller, tiled downstairs space feels lived-in and traditional, while upstairs is even more relaxed.

That's a weirdly misleading review. Bermondsey Street - described by your reviewer as "a side street branching off from the London Bridge rail estuary" - is one of Vogue's four hottest streets in London, bristling with great restaurants and bars, galleries and unusual shops. The best thing about the Woolpack is its wonderful garden - paradise for smokers and sun hoggers. But that doesn't get a mention. Sounds like your reviewer popped down from Fulham for a quick half of bitter one wet Sunday in November, grabbed a plate of sausage and mash and didn't even look around.
