Music lovers, art enthusiasts and film buffs alike adore the Sun and Doves pub in Coldharbour Lane - an acoustic music venue and gastro pub that is a hit with a boho Camberwell crowd. Famous for its Sunday roasts, signature Bloody Mary's with Guinness and mix of electronica, breakbeats and nu-jazz – you couldn't find a cosier place to chill with friends and family on a lazy afternoon. The Sun and Doves hosts regular movie and quiz nights, as well as wine appreciation courses, and the kitchen offers a diverse modern British menu with a good range of meat and veggie options. We love the Portobello mushroom burgers with cheddar cheese and spinach, and the steak and Guinness pie with mash.

The Sun & Doves is our local, however we haven't been for ages since we feel it is over priced and the food is 2nd rate. We decided to give it another go following rumors that the kitchens had been revamped etc. Table for 7 please. It was Sunday so we ordered two meze starters to share followed by a few roasts and two burgers for the kids.
Where do I start?
1) Drinks, we ordered 3 bottles of water for the table, - we got 3 glasses of water & two cokes. Bottles were promised but never arrived so 2 of us didn't get a drink.
2) Two rare beef roasts were ordered on the waitresses recommendation, only to be told later that beef was off the menu. It wasn't just the beef either, it seemed that half the menu was off. Instead we ordered roast chicken. The roasts arrived on plates that were far too small, and swimming in gravy, so much so that the waitress poured some down her front.
3) Oh good, the meze starters arrived half way through our mains??? we sent them back.
4) We didn't bother with coffee or desert, we were pleased to get out.
All in all our thoughts on the Sun & Doves have not changed, the service was shoddy, the staff were disorganised and the food was only so so. We will not be going back any time soon. Sorry Mark, you need to pull your socks up, the Sun & Doves is no Gastro Pub.
If however, you are going for a few beers and a bowl of chips, then I couldn't think of a nicer place in Camberwell.
