Coming into Camberwell, you notice alot has changed along the high street. Of course there are still chicken shops and offys, but one thing you notice is that more and more pubs are refurbishing and converting and becoming extremely nice places to get food or drink. The Hermits Cave is one of these.
The bar has a good selection of beers and ales and curves around the shape of the room, mimicking the outside corner of Camberwell Church Street. The pub itself is quite small but cosy and relaxed.
If you're visiting Camberwell then chill here with a friend over a beer, or if you've just moved into the area, make this your local. -

Despite lots of my friends waxing lyrical about the Hermits, I've always been put off from going in by the fact you can't see in through the windows and its general air of This is our pub, please go away.
That said, come the summer it sells slushy cider a half-pint of Westons with enough ice shavings in it to turn it into a boozey Slush Puppie. I'd meant to try this for ages, and it was absolutely delicious. I'm sure I've had Westons before, but for some reason this one tasted almost exactly like balsamic vinegar (which I love, but was slightly unexpected).
It's a nice, airy pub with plenty of big cosy tables and places to squash into, but if I were going out, I'd still make a beeline to somewhere like the Stormbird or the Tiger first. -

Good place for beers, ciders, whiskeys, etc. Hot fires, mixed crowd, sports on the telly, generally has people but not super overcrowded

Great place for a quite drink. Typical English pub with the regular clientèle holding up the bar. Decent selection of beers and guest ales. Good location and not heaving like the other pubs surrounding the green. No bells or whistles just a good old fashioned boozer.

Proper old man pub that refuses to be gentrified. Slushy cider on a hot day.
