Yep, staff problem ! Waited ages to try and get one of their interesting looking beers. Nobody wanted to serve me so after 10 mins or so I left, beerless and found a nice little boozer up the street.The impressive interior is worth seeing and the beer range is impressive but they really do need to do something about the staff ( definitely a couldnt care less or be bothered attitude from both of the two gentlemen we were eventually served by on a Saturday lunchtime - as has been said they appear to be "agency" workers who really haven't cottoned-on to the Real Ale scene - my second beer (Brains SA Gold) was as flat as a pancake but the barman couldn't understand what I was on about when I mentioned this to him). Great shame as this is a good spot for a beer while changing trains. Part of the Nicholsons chain with all that they offer but they really do need to get some more staff on busy days and ones who actually enjoy working in a British pub!!A Nicholsons pub - a lot of agency staff; some bald and Polish. Nothing special.

as a local I think what they have done is great. The place looks a sight better than it did before, when I went (with dog) the staff were lovely and I had a very decent pint. Planning on going back for some food, its not cheap but the menu looks pretty interesting and the look of the food when it was being served was pretty impressive. Good luck to them.ill bet that cookies,winsfoodies and craigjohson,are now gutted,an old pub reinventing itself,your going to get both good and bad postings,just go with the flow,if you get bad reviews take them on board,have a think and see if they are genuine complaints and something you the owners can do something about.wish all the best for the future but dont try and con people(it does backfire)no rating given.OMG ! more like WTF ?

Hopefully a moderator can remove the obvious spam from this list of reviews. Makes you wonder why an establishment feel the need to do this.

no dogs - used to love meeting the friendly dogs in there
no wellies - handy after a walk on the common in Febuary then

So they had doombar apparently just what Wimbledon was missing.
eh ? They did very well with beer before as do many other Wimbledon pubs as anyone who actually drinks beer in Wimbledon would know.

Hopefully it wont last and we can get the pub back ! Our worst fears have been realised despite the PR nonesense that was released before it closed. Stuff this Ghastly-o-Pub.

Had a couple of swifty's in here on Friday and was very impressed with the look of the pub and the atomsphere.

I know that this pub is situated in Parsons Green which is comparable to Mayfair in terms of it's affluence but I must admit that my jaw did nearly hit the bar when the girl said £4.85 for a pint. Admittedly, this was for the M&M Porter which at 6.5% ABV you would need too many of them.Great day out on Saturday - good service and great choice of ale at very reasonable prices (for London)

No sign of Sloanies probably due to the presence of one extemely pissed Chelski peroxide princess. Her rendition of amusing ditties which included a magnificent bawling out of "I'd rather be a Paki than a Yid" went down like a bomb. The song corresponded to the inscription on her replica football shirt "Hole 69"being a fulham boy, and born next door in PG Maternity hospital
remember the old horse !!!
still like the pub, the beers are superb,
some of the clientele are a bit of a pain
but you get a more varied custom than 10 years ago
the harveys SB is AWESOME
a must visit on my pilgrimages to Craven cottage

I seem to remember going there possibly a couple of years ago and thinking what a dump but I went last night and was pleasantly surprised.

It seems to have improved a lot and I had a very pleasant evening with friends.A very nice atmosphere and a welcoming and courteous barman.Beer was very good.

Must try the roof terrace when it is a bit warmerFood prices have gone up sharply. The Young's steak & ale pie has gone from under a tenner before the VAT rise, to £11.20 after!Always find this place clean and friendly with a good beer selection which is invariably in good condition. Roof terrace is a great feature, particularly if its warm and not too busy, especially now they have beer on tap up there.

About the only decent place in Wimbledon centre to watch sport now the Hand & Racquet next door has stopped, although can get very busy for big matches and not all seating is well positioned for a view of the screens. Beer pricey too, but then you pay for a decent venue!

I agree with the last poster, visited on the way home from theatre last night and was surprised how orderly and what a pleasant atmosphere there was for 11pm on a Saturday night. There are much much worse Wetherspoons in much more well to do areas so they are definitely doing something right.Not as bad as ppl say.

Food and beer are both to normal JDW standards.Made it!

Like the decor. Better than the last place.

And the 5 double Sailor Jerry's for 5 quid offer between 11 and 11:30am on weekdays is a great attraction. I love being rewarded for what I normally do anyway.

A quick thanks to my bro for getting this site to my attention and allowing me to vent my anger.
This lunchtime me and bruv whent in to this pub for a quick drink,the place was nearly empty,i bort 2 drinks and sat down,i then realised i had been shrt changed by £3,i was fuming but bro said to leave it as i cant proof it.i tell you now,next time i go in there and she tries that again her face jewels wont be on her face !!!!You were luckier than the girls and me bluenose,we went the other week and the barmaid we had was just not intrested,spent more time talking in the other bar than serving and when we did get noticed ,if looks could kill,well.According to my friend she's been there a while, HOW !
Apart from that a nice time ,although we didnt go to the bar as often as we would have likedNice friendly pub. Lovely barmaid. Had lots of time for me and my drunken football talk even though she didn't support my team!

Customers were friendly too, even the ones supporting the other team.

Heartily recommended!
