| The reviews below all seem to be extremely critical of the food, which doesn't sound great as it's supposed to be a gastropub, but as I've never eaten here I can't really comment on that. However, it is a good place to go for a quiet drink if you want to chat with someone but don't want to have to shout in to their ear. The bar staff are a bit slow but it's generally possible to get a seat, even on a Friday and Saturday. The beer garden, small as it is, is excellent and well worth the visit on a sunny evening.

| This is a lovely little gastropub, conveniently located for all that Clapham has going on, yet kept that little bit quieter by being off the main drag. I was really surprised to read the negative reviews on this site as the twice I'd been there before I'd had very pleasant experiences and it didn't disappoint when a friend and I went there again last week. They certainly must have sorted out any problems there were with rude staff as everyone we spoke to was very polite and attentive. The food was delicious and the prices reasonable. I'll certainly keep coming here. JoP - 13 May 2009 15:18 |
| What can I say about the stonhouse without swearing or losing my temper? I had been recommended by a friend that their breakfast menu was tasty and set in a relaxing setting. After my friends and I had ordered our food we sat in great hope of a nice simple meal of eggs royal and eggs benedict.Two of the formentioned meals turned up with rock solid eggs, so after our complaint they happily agreed to remake the meals.Ten minutes later they returned with lovely runny yolk but alas so were the egg whites which were so transparent I actually thought they had just put the egg on the plate. As the chef was unable to cook an egg I declined any other meal.While waiting for my friends to finish a man sat next to us with his dog on the chair. After the man had finished eating his food he then began feeding the dog the left overs with the fork he was using while staff watched on.Great hygene for a classy public house.When the bill arrived they even had the cheek to put on service charge. I dont know how this establishment survives in this current climate. I doubt it will if their standards don't change. mross - 24 Feb 2009 19:25 |
| Can honestly say the worst pub I've ever been to. Rude party going on at the time - Saturday 27 Sept 2008 - organised by Tristan - the ruddest boy I've ever met. Told us we were invading his party space area, that he owned half the pub and that he'd throw us out the window if we didn't move! He wasn't even drunk! Management were gob smacked. Incredibly inefficient service. Two people behind the bar serving a crowd of people. A waitress who hadn't an idea what was going on. Ended up not leaving to eat elsewhere. It was stressfully chaotic. Save yourself a bad night out - don't go. bbruton - 29 Sep 2008 17:45 |
| I've been here three times now as I was looking for a new local. The first two times, I couldn't have recommended it more to friends - we got great food and great service. You couldn't really ask for more. But both of these times were mid week. I went back yesterday (Sunday) with a group of ten or so friends after raving about it for so long and I couldn't have been more disapoointed. 1. We sat outside and then moved inside as it started to rain. When we ordered some more drinks the girl at the bar was rude beyond belief about us not telling her that we had moved. I totally take the blame for not letting them know we had moved inside but was there a reason to be so rude about it? 2. She then proceeded to be rude every time we ordered a drink. Chip on should me thinks - maybe a career in bar tending isn't your call luv. 3. We then moved back outside and I promptly told little miss rude that we were moving back outside. Some of my friends then ordered food and they were told that they were not serving food outside anymore because of the "changeable weather". We mentioned that people had already been eating outside and they stuck to their guns with the "changeable weather" line. When their food arrived, they were told it was served inside. Approximately two minutes later the table next to us was served food. Charming way to treat your customers. 3. We then ordered more food and they took our order outside and served our food outside. 4. When I went to order deserts from the bar, I was yet again given the "changeable weather" excuse. I mentioned that we had just been served outside and the bar tender (not little miss rude but he obviously went to the same bar tending school for the hospitality retarded) replied that we shouldn't have been served. I went to another waitress, explained the situation and she explained why they had issues serving outside but said that if we didn't mind it getting soaked on the way outside if it was raining and if we would eat it inside if it was raining and if there was the room, then she would take my order. FINALLY - someone with manners and a sense of customer service. It's such a pity as I really liked this place and I have been telling all my friends in the area about it. They really should review their staff and attitude as places like this won't survive and don't have the right to survive in an area like Clapham. kzakrzewska - 1 Sep 2008 11:08 |
