Traditional Youngs local near to Tooting mainline station. The pub was open early yesterday morning to show the Welsh rugby. After waiting for the barman/landlord to return from the shop, I finally got served. Young's Bitter or Special were the only ale choices. The front bar is decorated with a red colour scheme and was also kitted out for Halloween. I didn't get to see the rear bar. Live music & Sunday lunch were advertised. Nothing particularly special, just a bog standard London boozer.

This pub will always have a place in my heart - used to live round the corner in my early 20s and come here with a big bunch of mates almost every Sunday to drink off our hangovers from the night before in the back room. This is when Michael ran the place. Had some hilarious and brilliant times here, plus is nextdoor to the best curry house in London (Samrats). Yeah it's a bit crap, but definitely in a good way. The Gorringe - I salute you.

The Gorringe used to be a bit rough a few years back, but the landlord that took it over a couple of years ago has done wonders with it. This is still a traditional wood-panelled 'local', which is great, but now it is also clean, well-run, and surprisingly friendly and welcoming.

We've lived in walking distance of this pub for many years, and it once was somewhere to avoid. My wife and I noticed a bit of a change so we thought we'd give it a try as somewhere to have a quick glass on the way home after work. I think it only took a couple of visits before we were being included in conversations with people, and we're still amazed at how quickly we've been accepted and welcomed by this highly diverse crowd. It sounds corny, but this really is a place with that Cheers factor: "where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came".

It is very hard for a pub to shake off a bad reputation, but in the Gorringe's case that rep is definitely ancient history. Give it a try, a real one, and be prepared to have a chat with people on both sides of the bar. You'll be very pleasantly surprised.

I think the customers in this pub are very clicky, I have been in there a couple of times and felt very awkward.

Not really into Youngs beers - why don't they allow guest ales in their pubs? - but a pleasant local boozer and I will be back to try the keenly priced sunday roast.
