picture of Vanbrugh
The Vanbrugh (the Tavern appendage has been dropped) is a pleasant neighbourhood local with a certain charm. Recently, it has undergone a makeover. A new sign and paintwork outside, some trendifying interior touches, designed to attract younger and wealthier locals in the area. Personally, we preferred it before but it's still a decent pub. There's live music, but it's not an ideal venue for it - as it tends to get bunged in the narrow back room. But the award-winning, lush beer garden at the back is ideal for a sunny day.

I visited the Vanbrugh a couple of weeks ago. It was recommended to me by a close friend who lives nearby. I took a group of my collegues and we were all increadibly impressed by the place. The food, atmosphere, decor, serice and beer garden were all of the highest standard which led to a very relaxed and enjoyable enjoyable evening. I will certainly be going there again as it is in my opinion one of the best places to eat and drink south of the Thames.
