Staff are attentive and more importantly quick! Music is background to say the least. The whole vibe of the place is to encourage conversation and interaction. Their's some great art work on the walls which depict scenes of Clapham from the last century or so.
Brilliant bunch of regulars inhabit the place and there is nothing better than just chilling with a pint and listening to their inane conversation. Great, great pub!
Reasonable selection of real ales on offer, would get busy at weekends.
The landlord was attentive, the staff polite and efficient, and we even chatted to a few regulars. Such characters! Highly recommended. Bravo.

Good ales available, shame not a better choice of Lagers, are Carling, Carlsberg or Fosters mandatory in English pubs. If you are looking for something a bit different in this area of London, it is well worth a visit.

Decent real ale from small London breweries on offer, a decent place for a pint and a chat.
3 real ales, reasonable condition. Efficient staff but not particularly welcoming. OK, but I would expect there must be better nearby.

First off it took ages for someone to come and take our drinks order, even though they had seated us, so knew we were there.
Next, we ordered food. Or so we thought. Next thing the waitress was back. "I am just checking I got your order right". We gave it again. Something in what she said next made us realise she had not actually placed it in the first place. Next we saw her go process the order. 45 minutes later we were still waiting so spoke with the bar manager. During this time the people next to us got up and walked out. Eventually (almost past hunger-o'clock) the food arrived. It wasn't bad - wasn't amazing.
So, a facelift may have improved the look, but the service hasn't got any better. Not as rude as under previous management, but now it's just shoddy.
Will not be back.

had a pint of the White Horse Dark Porter and the barmaid only charged me for a half even though I got nearly a full pint as it was near the end of the barrel.
Busy with local drinkers and tourists, a warm and welcoming pub right by Clapham Junction train station.
