I've never been a Wetherspoons fan, but I decided to try this place after reading the reviews. To be honest it is ok, nothing special mind but ok. The local area isn't too good for pubs so I regard this as a positive addition. The beer was in good nick, and for a Spoons the clientelle and atmosphere were comfortable, rather well heeled and relaxed. I'd go as far to say a nice ambience and probably the best pub in Raynes Park. Tough shout between 6 or 7, 6.5 if possible.

This is the quiet 'family' pub in Raynes Park. Suitable for eating and drinking in without having to wonder when the next fight will break out! Standard Wetherspoon features: range of interesting cask ales cheaply priced, extensive food menu served till very late seven days a week, special grill days and curry days, etc.

4 young staff behind the bar, kidding joking and doing anything but serving customers even though there must have been 8 of us patiently waiting at the bar. Food took well over an hour and then to be told that they where sold out of what I ordered! New pub with so much potential due to the area but until they change the staff and management...my money is going elswhere!!

Better than average Wetherspoons I use it on a regular basis.

OK so it's a typical "spoons" a barn for drinking in. But they've spent a lot of money on it and it shows. The bar staff are always friendly and frankly in Raynes Park or West Wim if you're posh- what's the alternative? One of the better ones.

The non-smoking future of pubs comes to SW20. Good beer, food (locals are mad for curry nite Thursdays) and those Wetherspoon prices make this the perfect stop off from the train or venue for a gathering. An oasis in a pub desert for the RP intelligentsia (BBC News 24 on screen shows the crowd they're aiming for, not the scruffs who inhabit the 'spawt'-saturated RPT next door). Good for the mind and body.

Very baseic Weatherspoons house, but it does, as always, offer good real ale at very low prices.Other than that, it is a large, airy, characterless pub. It may improve in time, but it could go either way. However, it is likly to give the other pubs in Raynes Park a run for their money.

A Wetherspoons from another planet!

Fast service at the bar, even though the pub was busy. Staff always on the floor clearing glasses and wipping down tables. My bottle of wine was placed into a ice bucket - never known before at any Wetherspoons I have visited - food very good and a large portion.

A non -smoking pub, highly recommended.

This is a new JDW pub which has been open for 2 weeks. Visited last Tuesday and found it to be quite pleasant. Not their usual brown stained wood or the modern but ghastly minimalist approach. Quite subdued really!

Not a particularly large range of guest ales but managed a pint of one of Burton Bridges products and the usually reliable 'Bombardier'. Although it is brand new most of the stair tread edgings down, as usual, to the toilets were missing. Nice toilets though. I wonder how long this will all last. The pub is totally non-smoking with some seats at the front outside in 2 alcoves for those nicotine addicts. This might be alright on a sunny and warm day but maybe not so hot during the winter especially as it is fairly close to a very busy main road.
