Just came in here as it's a ten minute walk from my flat and me and a friend wanted a quick celebration dinner. Inside it's a bit strange looking, somewhat unfinished early noughties feeling out the back, but you can see the pizza oven and...the chefs prepping food which is always nice.
The drinks menu is pretty reasonably priced - cocktails for about nine quid, glass of prosecco for £5.50, decent beers on tap. But the real draw is the food. It is so so so good. We had the chicken livers and the arancini, both delicious (the rosti the livers were on was to die for) then a sirloin steak (perfectly cooked) and the lamb (beautifully medium rare). I had the best carrot I've ever had in my life at the Yellow House which is not an accolade I saw myself giving out well into adulthood. We finished it off with brownies. Sadly, these were not warm, which was a shame as it made them a bit claggy, especially with the super thick and creamy cornish-style ice cream. That said, they were still really tasty, but could have benefitted from being warmed up and gooey rather than fridge cold and dense.
Service was friendly enough and pretty understated – there was someone there when we needed them but not much chit chat. Their covid measures also looked effective, and the playlist they had on was great.
All round, maybe not a location for a super posh dinner out as it all feels very understated, but if you just want some of the best pub food in south London for a nice evening out with pals, The yellow house is absolutely ideal, highly recommend. Thanks all!More
