Food was ok and served fairly quickly, a touch noisy as tables are a bit close together, staff were fine, ok for a visit but not a peaceful one

Lovely roast today. Food delicious as always and service really friendly! We booked earlier in the day and ordered 2 pork belly roasts and 1 roast beef. I love their Yorkshire puddings so ordered another one with my meal! Great portion sizes.

The roast was amazing, a very big Yorkshire pudding and lots of lovely vegetables! The waitress we had was really lovely and friendly, couldn't do enough for us. We had the little room down the steps and it was so nice and cosy. Best roast in Clapham even perhaps!

Amazing roast. Good dose of gravy. Good size helping. Pints also great. Lovely wine. Would recommend for both a night out or Sunday lunch, great pub all round.

Really fantastic atmosphere. Staff were really welcoming, especially to our wee pug we brought along, which they were very accommodating of. The venue itself has a really great feel to it different levels and spaces, service was excellent and the Sunday roast was a big portion, absolutely delicious.

One of my favourite places to go but by far one of the worst experiences i had there. It wsa freezing cold and wet weather outside and when i arrived my coat was soaking wet, i asked if there was a coat hook to hang my coat and was told to put it on the back of my chair. I spent the entire time sitting on a dripping wet and freezing jacket. They also had the windows and doors open for a delivery and i was sat direct in the breeze. The food was also average. I ordered steak it literally arrived 5mins after ordering. Steaks although can be cooked quickly need time to rest. This clearly didn't happen. My chips were also clearly reheated from the day before and were not nice at all. Such a shame as this has really made me question whether i want to return so regularly to my favourite spot.

The food was great, as usual, but a couple of the staff were quite grumpy, one particularly rude, which spoiled what was meant to be a special day.

Great food as usual but service appears to be getting worse and worse each time. Staff don’t acknowledge you when you arrive, drinks took far too long, starter arrived at same time as main, the list goes on!

The restaurant is dark and cramped with very little space between the tables. The vegetarian food is bland, tasteless and shows little or no imagination in the choice of ingredients. However the staff are friendly.

The friendly pub has a great community feel. The Sunday roast are very good and they do a nice Yorkshire pudding. Also, the bartender makes a very good Old Fashioned

Food was good, but atmosphere spoilt by there being a TV playing football that was visible and audible from the part of the restaurant we were seated in. Not good when you went there on Valentine's Day!!! And there was nowhere else for us to move to. Management should only have had the TV playing in the drinking only part of the venue.

Service to the table (before during and after the meal) could have been a lot better - often felt ignored/overlooked by the wait staff and had to ask each time to order, for dessert, for the bill etc - they didn’t once come over proactively and we were often waiting a long time for service. Otherwise - great for a roast.

Another lovely evening at my local pub/restaurant. Upstairs with a view over Abbeville Road and the Abbeville’s wood panelled warren of rooms. My friend had the French beef stew with mash and broccoli-she loved it and I had the burger with chorizo. Excellent.

It had a decent roast, more variety on the menu would be better. Was a fair enough price especially for London. What was even better was that they allow dogs

Waited for over hour for our food and were eventually told that the order had never been processed. We asked 3 separate members of staff who all told us different stories. We have been once before and waited 45mins for average food and thought we would give it another try due to rave reviews. Certainly last time we go back.

The food was very good, and the service was friendly, but on the night we went, everything took ages. It took a long time to take our order, bring our drinks, bring our starters, and the mains, and finally the bill.

Great food and friendly staff in a lovely environment. A gluten and nut free dessert (other than ice cream) would have been appreciated but that's pretty niche!

It is a very cute pub with great food, especially try their Sunday roast. Service can be a hit and miss depending on how busy they are.
