Went to this pub on a Friday night and was told that they had run out of two of the lagers they sold which is not the first time this happened.
As such I will not be back which is a shame as it's not a bad pub.

Apologies to the barman a couple of months back for calling him a daylight f***ing robber; it's just the first thing that came out of my mouth when I had to fork out £6 for two pints of coke.
If I didn't have my car outside and was not so far in to a few weeks of not drinking, I would have told him to replace one of the pints for a Kronenbourg for another 15p. Yes, it's a Youngs pub, but I've never paid so much for a pint of coke... even in Young's pubs in better areas!
It gets three for the standard Young's decor.

Another horrible example of the current mania at Youngs for gentrifying previously pleasant pubs. Some work seems to have been carried out comparatively recently, and the gents lavatory now resembles something out of Changing Rooms. The beer was adequate if overpriced, but hardly deserving of a Good Beer Guide entry. The food was reasonable but again overpriced, which is a shame since previously there were good value dishes of the day available. Staff were pleasant although the place was virtually empty on a Tuesday evening.

Nice local pub, changed hands last year, nice garden area.
|
Great bar, really friendly Staff and Managment, Good Beer :-)
My only complaint is that the Drinks are fairly expensive!
Well worth a visit though
|
Friendly staff, excellent beer, would go there again. One of the nicest Young's pubs I have been to.

This pub has new tennents and they are not keeping the pub up to the standards that it had before.
The food is VERY OVER PRICED. Every lunchtime you could get a great lunch for under £5.00, now it will cost you around £10.00 The sunday roast is VERY GOOD, and Good value for money. It is just a shame that they can't do the same at lunchtime Monday to Friday. Lots of people from my office eat there at lunchtimes, but not now as it is too expensive.

Nothing special to look at, and very quiet (even with football on the TV) but Youngs spot-on
|
On a sweltering day today of circa 30 degrees, I couldn't help but pop in here for a nice pint of Youngs, and fantastic Sausage n Mash!! Give it a go - it aint as bad as people make out.

This is an ok pub with a decent size beer garden.
BUT, is there really a need to charge you a minimum of £20 to use your card?
I popped in for a couple of pints with a friend, asked if I could use my card for a £10/11 round, they agreed and then promptly charged me £20 and gave me the change (without asking first).
Maybe this was a one off but it's the kind of thing that puts you off a place.

obviously that should say gripe - freudian slip...

Ah, the old standing at the bar with a note in your hand. If you hadnt done that, I am sure the bar staff would have assumed you had no money and never served you....
(Sorry, personal grope of mine - is a great pub though anyway)

This pub resembles a sitting room
in a 1960"s sitcom.
I Stood at the bar for 10 minutes
with a tenner in my hand to buy two drinks. I discovered that I
was now invisible to the naked eye.The bar staff made no attempt
to serve me. So I left.
This really is a terrible pub
Full of kissey kissey types & loud pretencious rugby clones.
Worst "upmarket " pub I have ever visited.

This is a fantastic pub, bar staff are really friendly, and there is a generally good crowd of people. The food is also excellent - well worth a trip!

Awful pub. Full of bores talking loudly about themselves. Have to negotiate pushchairs with brats in order to get to the bar. Not the worse pub in Battersea, but it's trying hard..
|
Best pub on Battersea High Street by a distance. Excellent atmosphere and consistently high quality food
