Shockingly poor overpriced food that you wait too long for. Staff who don't give a stuff and service that takes forever. I mean, dear jesus, I can only imagine the positive reviews on this site are from the workers there or relate to some point in the week when the chef is on his game and there are four staff and seven customers. DO NOT GO TO THIS PUB and then maybe it will close and somethng good can happen to this space. Boycott the Goat.

Awful place! Avoid at all costs! The bar staff are rude, arrogant useless morons!

You'll get better service at every other pub in the area (which is saying something!)

The worst pub in Clapham/Battersea. The worst service ever, braying clueless idiot customers, not necessarily crowded on a Friday night but everyone stands in the doorway. I've been dragged here by associates too often. Just, just the worst. Someone bulldoze this place with the up-their-butts black-wearing over-pierced incompetent emo/goth/indie whatever the heck they are staff inside it. Eventually the staff will disappear up their own backside as will this hell hole, if there is a god. I recommend the Duck up the road or Project Orange back towards CJ station or the Falcon over this.

The Harveys was very good when I visited (Monday evening). My dad once described Amies Street, which this pub is on the corner of, as 'horrible', but that was many years ago and this little corner of Battersea has now been spruced up a bit. Nice to find an out of the way pub in this area. Most of the reviews here for the Fox and Hounds seem to concentrate on the food, I wouldn't know about that but the other problem with an up and coming area is that pubs seem to turn into restaurants (cf. 'Duck', formerly the Dog and Duck). Fortunately there are still enough of hoi polloi around here that pubs will continue to be popular.

Having just moved to a new flat in Clapham we visited the Fox and Hound for the first time. Aside from the fact that the interior was a little on the dowdy side and could benefit from a lick of paint the atmosphere was good and showed promise. However the experience was quickly ruined when I politely spoke to the Bar Manager regarding a problem with the food I had ordered and her response and manner was nothing short of abrupt and rude and I was left feeling as if she was doing me some sort of favour! I would also add that the food was not particularly cheap and was pretty unspectacular. A disappointing experience and I would be in no hurry to return..."

My "local" when visiting London. Excellent food though a bit pricey (not the usual pub grub) so it's more a nice lunch or special dinner destination than a regular eatery. Attentive staff always courteous and cheerful but maybe that's because I'm an old American geezer and they know I always leave a nice tip. Garden area out back is nice during warmer months.

Where is 'Bat', pray? You mean 'Battersea'. This is really a restaurant, as witness the dining-only layout, a menu on every table, huge serving area to front the kitchen.

Pub with a Pizzeria. Beer average. Full of youngsters. Not too much more to interest anyone really.

I was appalled by the service we received. They lied and couldn't care less when we complained they had lied to us. On entering the pub we asked if they would be showing the football to which they said yes. We duly eat and had a few drinks before being told they would be showing the rugby not the football. They only said they would be showing it so we would stay and spend money. With such a sickening attitude to it's customers, as well as being over priced and with run down decor I'm amazed it's still in business.

Quite nice looking foodie pub, friendly staff, Tiger @£1.70 a half was pretty good but almost Cambridge prices ! Liked the tables.

Great pub, but tend to avoid it when it gets crammed (Thurs/Friday nights). Food is great, nice choice of drinks, and staff have always been really friendly and happy to chat.

This is not a YOung's pub,, you were thinking of the other one down the road, it's a lot nicer than that but it is expenseive.

A small glass of Pepsi for £2?

A BLT with one and half rashers of bacon for £5?

What a load of rubbish.

A Young's pub with all the kind of charmless makeover that unfortunately implies these days. Not a bad looking place but really doesn't feel like a pub any more.

fantastic pub for the rugby and what a great atmosphere on a saturday night. had few cracking pints of guinness and lovely sharing platter during the game. if you haven't been to the rugby at the latchmere then get down there, i know i won't miss a game.
