The Pubs Around Nunhead: 10

A rebooted series because I realise there were several pubs I didn't mention the first time around, including The Rye Hotel.
This pub is mentioned in Muriel Spark's The Ballad of Peckham Rye, but is no longer a proper boozer like it was then.  It has turned into an expensive gastropub.  Rumoured to be hard on the staff from time-to-time, it has a pleasant feel, is gay-friendly, and despite the high prices has been mentioned approvingly - but very briefly - in the Guardian (but only for being accommodating to dogs). 

Probably the biggest asset is the huge garden out back, which is often full to brimming on sunny days. 

But not in today's snow.
