This is a great pub with the best pub quiz on Monday nights. There is also a huge back garden for summer days. Pizzas are good too.

Booked 2 weeks ago and got a table with about a 30% view of the small tv...not a place to watch sport. Bit of a disappointment.

Good food, in particular the pizza was very good. Two minor points they could work on: the croquettes on the small plates menu were not available, but other croquettes were (for the same price as other small plates) on the daily specials. However, our waitress insisted that they could not be pat of the three for GBP 15 offer on small plates. Economically pointless and inflexible. Secondky, we had to wait a very long time for our mains. Apparently we had been forgotten amd had been too polite to chase them.

It is a very tasty roast dinner. Beef was good in taste, although it was a little thin. The Yorkshire pudding was excellent and the gravy tasty.

Group of 4, rushed off our table by a very rude member of staff, despite there being many other tables available. His attitude and tone was shocking. Very disappointing Easter lunch.

We waited 20 minutes to get the waiter's attention to order and eventually had to go up to the counter to get his attention. My Sunday roast had no potatoes. What?! And my nut roast was too soft and lukewarm at best. The waiter took the service charge off the bill, at least.

The meal was fine. Thai corn starter was very nice, the main (steak) was OK. We did not stay for desert as it was too busy and noisy in the restaurant. Service was a little slow, there did not appear to be many staff on duty.

The Beef and green vege were really tasty. I always find your Bloody Marys inconsistent and varying in taste. Staff were generally attentive and friendly.

Went for Sunday lunch. Lots of variety on the menu, we were all very pleased with our choices. Attentive service. My only issue is the design of the restaurant area means it is incredibly noisy. I think it is something to do with the ceiling.

Roast was great, maybe a little too much rosemary used in my opinion but still very yummy. Service was a little frantic to start, had to wait 10mins to be shown to our table but again understand that it’s Sunday and it’s busy.

The food (chorizo pizza) was delicious but our waitress wasn't all that cheerful (she didn't smile at all) which made the visit slightly less enjoyable

Overall it was okay but with a few niggles. Firstly, when I arrived the barmaid was quite rude and dismissive when I asked where my table was. Our food was tasty but unfortunately I had to send my chips back as they arrived cold, and my friend's dish wasn't piping hot either. However, the waiter was very apologetic and brought replacement chips without me having to wait too long. Also, my other friend had the pizza and it looked and tasted very good. I had to pay at the bar as I couldn't get any of the waiting staff's attention, and once again I encountered the rude barmaid who I think just doesn't have very good English and therefore found it difficult to understand me, but rather than say 'I'm sorry, could you repeat that please?' she just got really irritable. I would be happy to go back again to give the place another try, but will avoid that particular staff member! In terms of service and food quality, some of the Avalon's sister venues are better (e.g. The Bolingbroke and The Stonhouse) and are more of a restaurant experience than a pub, and I think the Avalon's prices should reflect that, but unfortunately most other pubs in the area offers a similarly average experience.

We were a.party of four and all of us enjoyed the meal. The staff were very professional and helpful. The waiter was very patient with me when i forgot to give him my tab number when I and took ages to find the vouche. The food was good quality and of a very generous size( I could not eat all my brisket). The wine was ok and relatively good value for this part of South London.

The Avalon always has amazing food and great service. Flat breads, pizzas and the baked Camembert are definite favourites. I would 100% recommend the Avalon for a good quality and delish pub feed

I was here with my toddler and dog and the service couldn’t have been better! There was a great kids menu, the dog was welcomed with open arms and given a bowl of water, and the regular menu was really good too. Staff were helpful and friendly and the food arrived quickly and was very tasty. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!
