The Tiger,

Most locals who remember this big pub right by Camberwell Green from a decades-long previous life as a rather dodgy boozer called the Silver Buckle will surely appreciate its latest incarnation, launched early in 2010. Current leaseholders the pubco (see Westow House) have revived its original name, the Tiger, recalling the circuses once regularly held on the Green. Inside it’s been revealed as a spacious place, with big windows illuminating a main drinking area, a more secluded space to the left and a side alley turned into a beer garden. The beer makes the best of a Heineken tie, with Caledonian 80/- a welcome visitor, Doom Bar regularly available, and guests from Brains and Theakston, all very well kept. Budvar livens up the fridges. Food might be pan fried squid or asparagus risotto in both tapa and main sizes, supplemented by grazing plates of cheese and charcuterie, burgers and steaks.

Insider tip. Go through the raised side area to find a delightfully half-hidden front parlour-like space with a fine view of the busy street.
