Selkirks a hard one to call- it's nice. And, er, thats about it. Sunday afternoons, yummy mummy set in the garden with push chairs and husbands in three quarter length trousers. Overpriced roasts with a "carve yourself" gimmick.

Beer is nice, but spendy, quiz is good.

I think the Selkirk knows it's one of a few places in tooting broadway that will attract the young professionals who cant afford to live in balham and everyone is being screwed over as such. I suggest those who like it try the new tramshed and social next to the McDonalds in tooting- similar set of people, but nicely decked out and not content to be the Tooting Estate Agents choice. 7 on 10.

Interesting to read the recent comments about the food. I'd always heard good things about the food but when I finally got round to eating here a couple of weeks ago me and my friends were all really disappointed. Quality was average at best and the portion sizes were appallingly small.

The "famous" burger was a standard supermarket 8-pack size, the fish & chips came with about 8 chips and the portion of nachos (paying extra for additional cheese) was small enough to be served on a side plate and came with the lightest splattering of cheese shavings.

A nice pub over all (although a bit pricey) with a nice atmosphere and definitely one of the best gardens in the area. Just don't bother with any of the food until they sort it out.

Unfortunately theadz01's review is spot on - a great pub - but it seems to be slipping slightly... maybe it's gone and got complacent.

Last time I was in there I was even disappointed with the fantastic selkirk burgers - the burger was half the size of last year and the bun was burnt!

Still the bar billiards is awesome and it has the best beer garden locally!

I'd previously said the food was great. Sadly, on recent visits, the standards seem to be slipping. My friend ordered a portion of chips, the tiniest portion came out of hard potatoes literally swimming in oil.

Some of the other things haven't been so great. Beer is pricey, and they don't do so many of their food offers any more.

Don't get me wrong, it's still the best pub in Tooting, just needs tweaking back up to how it used to be last year.

i dont understand the fuss about this place - its nothing special. When i popped in last saturday it was like a mortuary with about 4 staff looking like spare parts

the food was fine but the pub style is more 'all bar one' than anything else

nice range of drinks but thats standard unless you are a regular of wetherspoons !
