Living just down the road from the Long Room, we have often popped in for a drink. Whilst the service is always slow, the staff seem to be friendly and apologetic when you have to wait.

We took some friends for a quick supper the other week, and it was embarressing to say the least! My partner ordered a medium rare steak, which was charcoal, and one of our friends had to endure a very tepid lamb shank!

Would highly recommend going to the Manor instead if you want good pub grub!

I think this place is slowly, but surely, slipping back into the old ways of what was then the dreadful, chavvy, foul-mouthed Mitre Hotel. It's alright but Ewan ran it better than the new kids who seem permanently flustered. Not a very good choice of beers but the food looks nice. The outdoor area is good (when swept) but, unlike yesteryear, when the heaters were switched on ridiculously all evening with no customers, they no longer appear to work when the now-gathering customers need them on a chilly summer evening....cutbacks methinks? I also thought the prices were slightly higher than other pubs in the area but there's free Wi-Fi and they are trying hard to "trendyfy" the place to stop it feeling like an airport departure lounge.

It's a bit of a mystery why the Long Room isn't very popular, whilst the likes of Antelope and the Selkirk do good business. There's plenty of space, comfortable sofas, reasonably prices and it's still frequented by both the old Mitre drinkers and yer newer Village types. Never a problem getting a seat or getting served. If you're in Tooting, use your imagination and move a few metres further from the Underground station to find this option for a comfortably night out.

The best design feature has to be the step up to the disabled toilet. And yes, we have seen a wheelchair user getting stuck. Unclever.

Just got back from a trip to Tooting. Had a great time at the Long room. The staff were excellent and worked well under pressure. The manager was a top bloke offering excellent service and I really appreciated him making time to find me a taxi number and recommend somewhere good to eat.

Shockingly I can confirm that it is true he does "sell certain things under the counter". Things like crisps nuts and bombay mix. Maybe I walked into a different place than some of the other posters?

Thanks all!

A large pub on the main road through Tooting with outside drinking. Not a huge selection of beers with only one real ale. Food was very good and well priced. A friend had booked accomodation which was very small and cramped and not en-suite or with breakfast but at £33 per night I suppose it wasn't bad.
