Parched is an independent group of south London pubs run by four friends Michael, Shane, Isaac & Neil.

With over two decades of success operating iconic pubs throughout South London their current pubs are the Roebuck in Borough,  the Montpelier in Peckham, the Railway in Streatham, the White Horse in Peckham, the Grove House Tavern in Camberwell and most recently the Earl of Derby in New Cross, which was met with critical acclaim.

All South London locals themselves, throughout the years they have managed to take ownership of underused pubs – some of which were on the brink of being shut down and developed into flats.

Parched has always been on the lookout for preserving pubs and their community charm. The lease to their first pub, the Roebuck, was bought in November 2003. Their ethos from the start, having worked in pubs and bars for many years, was to be independent owner operators, to sell excellent beer, use local suppliers, restore original design features, support up-and-coming talent, and to be community focussed – a place where everyone is welcome. creating the kind of local they’d like to hang out in. uniquely, this still remains true.

“We always endeavour to curate a space and atmosphere that’s both welcoming and safe to every part of the local community, thus our pubs truly reflect and represent the fantastic people of south London.”
