Camberwell's mix of Sarf London geezers and art school types has its perfect home in this popular pub. You're always likely to be drinking with a mix of punters here: fellow drinkers on our visits have included some cheerful Spaniards, an impeccably turned out elderly couple, a few Chaps in suits and some local lager lads. It's that sort of place. As for the fare on offer, we're talking the usual sort of pumps with Leffe and a guest beer as the only (mild) surprises. Food comes with a decent pub grub menu at a fair price. Big screen Sky for the sporting occasions though it's hardly the sort of place that needs that extra incentive to pull in the punters. The attractive interior - including etched windows and a leather settle - is an added bonus. The sign outside says 'Best beer round here'. They could change it to 'Best pub' and few would complain.

easily the best pub in Camberwell. My favourite boozer when i am up for a pint.

mix of nice locals and lots of students from the nearby art school.Lovely group of pundits altogether.

Brendan does a good job of keeping this place an honest simple pub.

How to find the Hermit's Cave pub

Not really near a tube or a train stop. Plenty of bus routes to Camberwell though including the 36, 171 and 436. Our advice is go to Oval tube and get a bus from there. Once into Camberwell keep an eye out for the pub - though it's so big you shouldn't miss it.
