Beverley, Mordenback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This was a really nice pub a year or so ago, with friendly staff and good service, but I suspect the management might have changed because our visit there yesterday for lunch left a lot to be desired. It's quite a large pub, often used for post-funeral wakes as it's close to the cemetery, but it was fairly quiet yesterday. Only two young female staff in the bar, and they had to serve at the bar, serve food and clear tables. I waited 15 minutes just to order food at the bar. They really weren't coping well and one of them was wandering around in a dream, she twice tried to deliver our food to the wrong table.
The menu is quite extensive and very reasonably priced, but we had to wait 45 minutes for our food. No apology when it did arrive, and of the three meals we had one of them (chilli con carne) was lukewarm, had a skin on top and two large chunks out of the dish; a second meal had cold chips and undercooked peas; the third was OK. We sent the chilli back and it did arrive in a new unbroken dish, without the skin on top and hot, but there was no apology at all.
The place seemed to have gone downhill since I was last there, which was only a few months ago. It looked tatty, with out of date posters. The staff looked pretty miserable and were hardly welcoming, but I did feel rather sorry for them beacuse there's no way two junior staff can run a pub that size on their own, even when it's not very busy. Unlikely to go there again.

Hmmm not much change from the last comment, offered a 'wrap' for £60 or a broken arm, no charge. No broadside, not going back.

Good pub if you fancy watching Chavs in their natural habitat.....Fighting & doing 'coke'.
Stay well clear!

This place is an absolute dump - actually no i'll start again, the staff and landlady make this place an absolute dump. You'd think if any of the staff behind the bar would smile it'd crack their faces! Takes so long to get served in there and the rudeness of the staff when you do actually get served is unbelievable. Still, plenty of other places to go thank god - she may have barred over 200 scumbags but what has she done? Put them the other side of the bar??

Funny enough the abbot has changed too, so get your comments right before posting them. But in breeds can always be kept out by strong management and from what i've seen both pubs now have that. Along with the new pub watch that has started up in Morden. Say goodbye to the days of pubs being run by the punters.

Lets get a bit of perspective here!! Just read in local free rag The Post that the new landlady has barred over 200 scumbags from the pub. Anonymous - 9 Mar you are quoted in the paper as weel. Gypo Pubs in Morden are a scream long may they live on. The Beverley is in danger of being removed from the Pikey Pantheon occupied by The Crown, The Abbott and Morden Tavern. Do not fear though, a new generation of in-breeds will start moving in before you know it

Ok people, lets get a bit of perspective here, The Beverly has been a hole for years, granted, BUT this has changed, the new landlady is doing her best to raise the profile of the pub and get rid of the idiots that used to frequent the place and cause trouble. Me and my other half and mates have been down there on many occasions for a quiet drink and a meal, I have to say the food is very good value, the bar staff are all very friendly as is the landlady, we've not seen any trouble in there, and i'm sure if there was any it would be nipped in the bud rapidly ! As a 'local' pub it does just the job, people should give the place a chance under the new management, they are doing their best so support them instead of just running the place down !!

I thought I was common until walking into the Beverley.
Suddenly I felt like David Niven.
All the staff look like they've been smacked around the face and all of the regulars (male and female) look the type to do the slapping.
It takes forever to get served, there's no obvious landlord and if it's who I think it is he doesn't seem to care less.
Still, better than it used to be, but then so's the Tory Party and they're still rubbish.

They have done it up, cant believe it still a hole!!

Meant to be a family pub. I took my ex & her 2 kids in there, last xmas eve, after walking down lower morden lane to see the xmas lights. People were doing coke in the toilets! Wont be going there again in a hurry!

The worst ever!! Service appaling by staff who would rather be elsewhere. The manager doesn't care if you get served or not, the local scooter chavs are added value watching the girls fight outside after too many WKD!! Place being refurbed at the moment, just hope they get new staff and new customers in. God, I've depressed myself just thinking about the fleepit!!

rough, full of chavs, but if you like a good kebab after your night out i reccomend the kebab shob near the garage next to the cafe

This is a "curry nite" type pub but has a certain rough and ready charm. Builders noisily hold court at the bar, the garden is pleasant but swarming with shouting children and sov-encrusted women grazing on alcopops. I was menaced once there for reading a broadsheet on a saturday afternoon. That being said, it does serve a decent pint of stella, I found service friendly and fine and its good to watch the match there. Providing you're English. And white. And like a bit of a shout.

Must be the worst service in South London. Staffed mostly by incompetant Antipodeans.
