Sorry a bit late, but these are my notes from a visit on July 14, 2007:
The wife and I visited the Selkirk in Tooting on a beautiful sunny day, prior to taking in the football 'friendly' Tooting & Mitcham v AFC Wimbledon.
Drinks were expensive - £3-18 for two halves of cider (That was then !)
Nice atmosphere though, there's a huge conservatory leading out into the beer garden. Parking a nightmare.
The bar billiards table: One of Ken Hussey's, post-war Jelkes with thrupenny bit legs. The muckiest surface I've ever seen, couldn't have seen a brush for about 5 years. Rolled left about a half ball all over, once I was able to suss it, got the break and the split going at the end and got a 3k break on it. All things being equal, a very nice table and have seen a hell of a lot worse.
As with many non-league tables, they're never in the right place, this one has a leather settee alongside the entire left flank of the table. backing on to it. I had to laugh when wifey had to do a shot by walking round the other side, kneeling on the settee and playing the shot with the cue leaning over the back of it. I've seen everything now.

Nice pub with a good cider and beer range. Nice outdoor space, good food, friendly staff and an interesting range of entertainment. Liek the reviewer below, I'd put it alongside the Antelope (and increasingly the ever improving Wheatsheaf) in terms of the best pubs in Tooting.

I have recentley moved to the area and found two very nice pubs in Tooting, The selkirk and the Antelope. if i was to reccomend a pint in the area it would have to be one of these. The Selkirk i found had very welcoming staff and quite cool back ground musnic, but i am really looking forward to a couple of afternoon pints in the beer garden they have. the food just seems like it is nice honest grub, and as a NHS worker they give me 10%.

The antelope is a more trendy high street boozer with slightley more up market food, lovely place the only off putting thing was the strange chap standing outside just staring into the pub, not their fault i dont suppose. they have a great selection of ales so it suits me.

i am looking forward to drinking in both of these boozers

Absolutely undeniably the WORST pub in Tooting, possibly in all of South London. I would only recommend it to my worst enemy if I wanted to destroy any semblence of a night out for them..hmmm. We booked for a large party and paid a price in the high 3 figures for a timely hot buffet. We GOT, an hour late, a few trays of cheap white bread sandwiches with processed meat prepared in haste & which made one guest vomit (had they forgotten?) and two bowls of undercooked low grade mushrooms in oil and fake butter who had suffered secondary drowning over and over again. Apparently these were for the wheat intolerant guests (bargain at £16 per bowl ten!) and veggies. they denied, very rudely and abruptly, the long phonecall over vegetarians and co and their promise to cater. 2 hours later long after the sandwiches and a couple of trays of Iceland's budget deep fried fishcakes (covered in breadcrumbs and yet for 'coeliacs', a small deep fried omelette cut into triangles, a small repulsive smelling limp salad featuring walnuts which weren't walnuts and beetroot which looked like it had been rescued from another dish and two tiny bowls of dodgy wedges. This apparently cost over £500. Not to mention the fortune they made out of us in drinks. DO NOT GO TO THE SELKIRK! Rude, rude, rude rip off merchants. They now have a boycott in place from us and we realise, a terrible repuation locally, deservedly so. As for ratings...where are the minus numbers?

I've been to the Selkirk help for a few pub quizzes and it's definitely a quality night out. It's the only night I've been to at this pub but one I'll definitely go back to and recommend. It's a young crowd in general but a great atmosphere.
