Starters were good but the Sunday roast was your average pub Sunday roast. Nice setting in a conservatory. Will go back but in the summer for the regular menu.

Really good food, great service and lovely vibe. The party included vegetarians and meat eaters, both of whom were catered for. The wine was a highlight.

Nice place for a roast with plenty of pram space, nice roast and ice cream. Not amazing but it was tasty and comfortable. Would recommend for families with young children for Sunday lunch as everywhere else nearby is rammed and loud.

Fantastic food and excellent service. Everything we could have wanted for a fun, cosy and relaxing Sunday lunch. Also worth a mention, it was very child friendly and the children’s portions were just right...

The Sunday Roast was expensive. You can get a much much higher quality roast for the same price. The potatoes were so over cooked they were barely edible. The staff are really nice.

Had a lovely night at the Jolly Gardener. We ordered all different things and we were all jealous of each others meals. The house burger was amazing. The fish and chips were delicious. And the teryaki salmon was out of this world. Will definitely be going back!

Always met with very friendly and attentive service whenever eating at the Jolly Gardeners. The Food is usually very good too. I had the fish pie this time which was delicious. The wine list is a wee bit on the restrictive side but yielded a very nice Pinot Noir. The only negative thing about my visit last Saturday was a large birthday table making an ear piercing amount of noise. The back dining room at the JG is normally quite noisy and I don't usually mind but this lot ended up screaming at each other whilst playing a drinking game which did spoil the conversation at our table towards the end of the evening.

Great service and food - this is consistently the best pub burger by miles. Nice to have separate dining room just behind main pub area.

Sunday lunch. Visited Jolly Gardeners for my birthday with family (7 in total). Atmosphere ok enough, service good (nice staff), but food menu and actual food uninspired. Half decent pub grub at best. If you are in the SW18 region check out Earl Spencer pub. Solid venue and food comfortably a notch above

Not what we expected and were recommended as far as the food and menu goes. We had received good feedback and ventured out on a Friday night however, this gastro pub was less gastro and more pub food. Whilst the food was nice and the service was reasonable, the pub did not meet out expectations!

Roast beef was great as always. The staff were very accommodating of the three children we had with us however I didn't think the options for the children were great. I had my two year old and ordered the chicken and chips. The chicken was very tough and fried. I am sure it would be fine for an older child but not great for the younger kids. Overall a great lunch though.

Good service, nice staff. Unfortunately the pulled pork was very disappointing. The pieces of meat I could find were good, but the dish was entirely overwhelmed by a gloopy sauce. I won't be attending a lunch booking again, but heard good things about the evening
