One of our favourite places in all London, looking particularly glorious with its Christmas decs up for the festive season! Great staff, cosy environment and as always great grub. Meze sharer to start followed by BBQ ribs with sweet potato fries - absolute winner.

Great Sunday lunch. Never had apple sauce with chicken before but it was busy so maybe the autopilot failed. Friendly staff and fun atmosphere as usual. Still a favourite in Clapham....

Lovely venue, lovely food, lovely staff and lovely wine. Recommended. The meat on the ribs fell off the bone like no meat I've ever seen before. The special of mushroom ravioli as a starter was wonderful. And the staff were unfailingly delightful. It's a beautiful old-style pub and I really loved it.

A friendly local with good service, great food and reasonably priced wines. There are daily specials that are always a winner to vary the menu.

The pie was seriously the best pie I have ever eaten. It was full of lean tender meat with no fat whatsoever. The pastry was extremely light, thin, crisp and flaky. The PERFECT PIE.

Quite tasty but there are better for less in the Clapham Commin area. I enjoyed my roast beef and my family quiteenjoyed their fish and chips. But my Yorkshire pud was over cooked, crispy and flaky (I'm a Yorkshireman - that isn't how it should be!) and tasted of lard. The fish batter - beer batter - was very heavy and thick. Quite nice but not exceptional.

Good pub Sunday lunch. Food was okay - not amazing. Felt it was brought out a lot quicker, so Yorkshire pudding as a bit stale. Nice location and pub vibe. 3 of us had Sunday roast. Big disappointment was hardly any gravy......asked the waitress who brought us a tiny jug, at which we asked for another 2 jugs. Would have been easier to bring a big jug, pour enough for each person and then take the jug. Overall, an okay Sunday pub lunch with okay food, but nothing amazing and can get better value and service at nearby places in Clapham.

The service was great, but more importantly the food was out of this world! We had the BBQ pork ribs with sweet potato chips and slaw, and the slow cooked lamb with dauphinois potatoes. The meat was melt in your mouth tender. Sadly we had no room for dessert!

The service is brilliant here and usually do is the food but one dish was a bit tasteless and no alternative or explanation offered ! The waitress simply took away 2 largely untouched plates, didn't ask why they weren't eaten and when we said they were a bit tasteless simply shrugged and charged us full price. We come here often and this was a one off,

It was my first time eating here. Food was very tasty, well cooked and plenty of it. The ambience too and overall experience was very good too, relaxed but intimate. However the staff, while reasonably friendly, were not that knowledgeable about their food or drink, or very efficient. I would go back, though perhaps not on a Saturday night

To be honest didn't appreciate paying £14.50 for a roast and having to pay extra for a Yorkshire pudding, which was huge but quite dry. In general though the food was nice, the chicken well cooked , nice veggies and yummy dessert. Overall good service and a nice Sunday evening .

Best roast in London! I always have the beef and it's perfect. Maybe next time I'll have the lamb. The wine is quite expensive but the quality of food and service makes up for it. I'm there every Sunday
