The Thomas Lord might just be the perfect pub for the summer. The food's great and the staff are lovely, but the beer garden is the best bit. A kitchen garden which supplies the restaurant. An outdoor pizza oven. They even have their own chickens and quails running about. Perfect for families and hardened drinkers alike. The location means that a dedicated driver is a must. Unless you stay in a yurt at one of the nearby trout lakes.

Babur is (apparently) a bit of a south-east London legend and has existed for over 20 years. Their takeaway is the best I've ever had (whole spices, judicious application of chilli heat, pretty decent quality meat etc).

They have just refurbished their restaurant (which is in a differnt location to the takeaway). It's always packed at the weekend with a nice crowd, and no p*ssed-up punters, which could be due to the fact it's a bit dearer than your average ruby due to it's modern take on regional classics. Good wine-list too, and really helpful, friendly staff. I really can't recommend this place enough...
