Sensational! I cant tell you how perfect we found this pub - until we paid the bill, blimey if this is the way of the future pubs really are going to struggle!

I spoke to the manager who explained that the prices he charges are dictated to him and the economy is gloomy for pubs - GORDON BROWN do something soon, places like this are a national treasure, if I could afford it I would eat there twice a week but I doubt people will keep using these pubs through the 'crunch' and although it was packed in the sunny garden (on a Monday night)I am sure this pub is bucking the trend due to its amazing location/building/beer and food but for how much longer at £3.20 a pint and £11 for sausages and mash?!

9/10 for the management
6/10 for value for money

Mixed feelings about this pub. It is tucked away off Putney Heath near Tibbets Corner and is not easily accessible by public transport. It has a rather nice outside seating area for those days when the weather is good enough to enjoy it, with indoor seating consisting of a mixture of mainly sofas with some stools and “normal” tables. The Telegraph features gastro-pub food at gastro-pub prices; the staff all wear black – we all know places like this; super-comfortable, super-clean, etc. They had Summer Lightning, Landlord and St Austell Tribute on yesterday. I had a couple of pints of the Tribute, which was excellent, but expensive (even by London standards) at £3.20 a pint. You wouldn’t want to go here for a traditional pub atmosphere but is a comfortable enough place if you are happy to pay the high prices.

A very interesting history to this pub, part of the original semaphore communication from London to Portsmouth as far back as anyone would suggest another way to communicate had been considered!

Now a big pub proud of its history and fitting in perfectly with the interesting corner of Putney Heath it occupies - wealthy, healthy, wise and a little pompous but hey if you cant join em this is the place to sink a pint and enjoy the idilic surroundings.....

Unlucky with the beer Malderman, today they had 5 beers on - Tribute, Summer Lightning (excellent), Adnams, Doom Bar and Landlord!

A little unusual looking situated as it is, for a moment I thought I'd stumbled across a Travelodge, however first impressions can deceive. "A Country Pub in London" a sign on the wall proclaims. There is also a plaque commemorating three members of the Canadian Fire Service who were stationed nearby during WW2.
A large pub split into two main areas, with a small snug open to the main bar. The right hand room appeared set up for dining. A broad range of different seating including sofas, leather armchairs and bar stools as well as the more traditional. Wooden floors with rugs, a long central bar against the back wall and candles on tables. A selection of board games and newspapers are available, quiz night and a forthcoming blues band are advertised.
Five handpumps but only 3 beers on yesterday, Sharps Doombar, Taylors Landlord on two pumps and Adnams Bitter. One pump unused.
Pleasant enough for a couple after a walk on the common but I can't get rid of that hotel feel.
