| Fine, traditionally furnished former Courage pub situated in a side street off Wimbledon Common and close to Cannizaro Park. There's 2 interconnecting bars - the bar on the left has a low ceiling, traditional wood-pannelling and leaded frosted windows. The bar on the right looks like an extension to the original building and has a rather barn-like feel to it, but is not unpleasant. The high walls in the right hand bar are covered in sporting prints. This bar is more food-orientated, while the older more atmospheric bar on the left is more drinkers orientated. The pub features in CAMRA's Regional Inventory of Unspoilt Interiors. It advertises itself as "A Real Pub" - whilst it's not quite the real thing, I think its better than some of the previous reviews here indicate. Beers on during my recent Sunday afternoon visit were Harveys Best, Doom Bar and Directors.The Harveys was quite good. Prices for both food and drink reflect the affluence of the surrounding area. I quite liked this pub - it's not a "must visit" pub, but it's preferable to the 2 Youngs pubs in nearby Crooked Billet. JohnBonser - 9 Jun 2009 13:07 |
| Good place. Irish rugby semis were on, so was curious. Then I saw they served 'Doom Bar' Cornish ale, even in its own glass. That was enough to decide us to stop here a while even if it meant cycling back across the common in semi-darkness... Good stuff. Groovehound - 3 May 2009 17:36 |
| not a bad little find - beer all decent and service flawless. Deffo will call back for a bite to eat at some point. softers - 16 Feb 2009 17:23 |
| Nice ale selection, featuring the magnificent Autumn Dawn as a guest recently. But that's about all I can think of to say in praise of this boozer, other than its location. It masquerades as a 'real pub' but is really only a cartoonish approximation. The clientele is made up mostly of cap-wearing ex-Sloane Square downsizers, the food is magnificently over-priced and, worst of all, having forked out for a meal one runs the risk of having the atmosphere spoilt by big-screen F1 fun. It's not so much a pub as a hangout for smug thirty-somethings who moved to Wimbledon just so they can take their kids horse-riding at weekends while still being within reach of the boutiques. kid_b - 16 Jan 2009 00:47 |
