To me the Avalon’s Sunday lunch is the best in south London. Great starters, lovely roast and a great desert selection. It’s on the more expensive scale, but we’ll worth it
Nice atmosphere, good food and helpful staff - couldn’t want for anything else! We came on a Sunday afternoon/evening with two little ones and could not have been treated more considerately - big table with lots of space, crayons for the kids, great menu for adults and children, and the food for the smaller ones was brought quickly - ideal.
Outstanding as per! not sure what else there is to say but have to use a minimum 25 words for this review. Why say more words than necessary when one will do. “Annoying”
Had to sit outside after staff assumed we could eat a Sunday lunch at a sofa with a low table. Confused our food order. Staff were not very accommodating. Tried to call 10+ times to alter booking and no one answered the phone.
The restaurant was very well decorated and we had very good service. Top marks for the roast beef and lamb shank. Sadly the roast potatoes were not crispy and the nut roast had hardly any nuts in. Saving grace was the cauliflower cheese!
The most beautiful lamb shank and red wine. Highly recommend a Sunday lunch here. Great atmosphere, lovely staff and even better food! Will be back for sure
Great Sunday roast. Decent portions and an efficient but relaxed service. The dining room at the back of the pub is a nice setting. Will be back
The pub decor was beautiful. Atomosphere was very busy and lively. The staff were very attentive and friendly and nothing was too much to ask. The food was absolutely delicious too. Will definitely be going again!
Excellent food, I recommend the Avalon for a Sunday roast to everyone I know. Really nice staff however could have done with one or two more waiters on the floor I think.
Had a Sunday lunch, food was decent, very large portions but food not piping hot. The prices are Reasonable, it gets very busy after 2pm.
Lovely decor, shown quickly to our table and has fast and food service from our waitress I love the food every time I come here.
Good food as usual (steak, pizza, calamari and duck croquettes) and nice ambience - great value with Taste card deal. We will definitely be back!
Really disappointing afternoon here - we waited 30 minutes to have our order taken and then 45 minutes after that we received or starters.....some calamari and some raw chicken skewers! We of course sent it back decided not to stay to eat our mains. The bill was waived but I would still be reluctant to return.
Had great lunch Just real shame gardeh wasn’t open as wanted space for the kids. Great service and so good with children. Food good but inside needs a makeover.
Staff is friendly, food is decent. They were out of the wagyu brisket which we really wanted to try. I got a burger which was above average. Not really a place to catch up with friends for a quiet dinner. We were there at 5 on a Saturday and it was pretty loud and hard to hear our dining companions, lots of stag do's and 20-something birthday parties.
Staff were too busy that they did not attend to us in the restaurant area. We had to go to the bar in order to order drinks. The food was nice but it took ages to come. We even tried to stay for a drink after and were ignored at the bar by all staff so we decided to take our money else where. Not impressed!
It was our first time at the Avalon. Lovely staff served us a lovely Sunday roast, the Yorkshire’s were massive! Quick service too. We will be back again soon.
Huge roast with delicious gravy and massive Yorkshire puddings. The starters were ok but not great. Service was good, a bit slow but it was a busy Sunday.
The menu had plenty of variety and it was tasty food plus a great service as always! We will be going back again very soon!
Brilliant roast and it is a lovely venue. Easy to get to the location and deco on side is modern and artsy. definitely recommend a visit
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.
Great atmosphere with a nice beer garden. Nice staff. Drive bugs were good. Food was only average and I have had better at many other pubs
Secret Garden is LOVELY and the staff were totally on it. Lovely Sunday afternoon! Roasts were big and delicious and not overpriced. Will be back for sure.
Consistently great food. Love the Sunday roasts. Staff were lovely even though they were extremely busy. Secret garden is just perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Lovely place - great food, good atmosphere, good for dinner or Sunday lunches especially
Great table, perfect seats for the game and whatever the fuck else to give them a good review. Blah blah blah blah blah and a bit more blah
Great night at the Avalon. Good quiz, good drinks & good food. We will be returning soon. Booked a good size table for our party .
Really great food & atmosphere, lovely out door area too. It’s one of my local restaurants & I’m really glad to have it so close!
A very good experience. Great food and friendly staff. Very easy with children and even better when outside enjoying the nice weather. I would definitely recommend.
Superb as always from the avalon team Roast was on point! Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing you for the World Cup!
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.
Service was ace! The staff are so lovely and went out of there way to help. The garden was lovely. But the food was really subpar
Dedicated service and helpful staff whenever we’ve visited and the absolute touch is the secret garden when the sun is out. Great spot that is ideally come to more often.
Great food and atmosphere and reasonably priced. Good selection on menu with daily specials too. Sunday roasts are always a winner here too.

Good food service and drinks - was a little loud as we were there on a weekend night and the restaurant is right next to the bar
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.
Excellent food and great service Bar a bit crowded and noisy but restaurant area perfect Nice wines helped the evening to be a big success!
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.
We had a good evening at the Avalon. The food was good and the Staff was Great. As it's a pub, it can be noisy but it's a pub so normal. We will come back
Excellent place lovely service and atmosphere. Will definitely go again soon. Variety of dishes , we had the roast and was one of the best I’ve had.
The service was great, very friendly and happy staff and the food was delicious. Great atmosphere and lots of people in the pub as usual! You can never go wrong with the Avalon!
Lovely food - big portions and good atmosphere. Service good, service charge added to bill but the service was ok so no problem with that.
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
We always enjoy the Avalon. Good food, nice atmosphere doggie and child friendly. Got the couch by the fire, was really nice. Burgers are yummy.
