| Nice locals pub with comfy seating and quiet atmos. Restful. Unfortunately only Youngs beers were on offer - the Bombardier had just run out. I chose a Waggledance which seems to be tasteless these days. Didn't it used to be stronger than 4%? chick - 16 Aug 2008 15:45 |
| Good traditional pub - pricy, but the best pub in the area, if you want to hold a conversation, and the regulars are quite an eclectic crowd. Quiz night is now on Sunday, and there is a very nice atmosphere. The Governer and staff are very friendly too. Just one gripe - The toilets need a good deep clean, it looks like they have not been cleaned PROPERLY for ages, just wiped over, my guess is that they do not hire a proper cleaning company ! they should get one in ! coralpink - 30 Jul 2008 12:56 |

The Castle. Easily the best hostelry on offer in the vicinity (sorry to disagree, Surrealale). The place itself has a good traditional "pub" feel to it, the layout is welcoming with a bar that runs pretty much for the length of the pub, with a plethora of nooks and crannies to settle down in for a quiet ale. Granted, prior to the smoking ban, the pub was poorly ventilated; obviously this is now no longer the case. And to complete the homely feel of this establishment, there's a roaring fire in the corner for those cold winter nights. So, the ale. All of a good quality, those on tap suitably chilled, and those on pump competently looked after. The prices arguably are a smidgen on the steep side; however what this achieves is keeping the riff-raff on the right side of the door. A swift trip to other pubs in the area (Tramsheds, A bar too far, you know who you are) will see clientele of an inferior quality. The Rounded Oak is no more, closing down predominantly due to a fatal stabbing earlier in the year. I've only eaten here once, and again, no complaints. The Sunday roast was excellent value for money at £10 for two courses, and served up promptly. I would also recommend the quiz on a Sunday night. This has been part of our "Sunday service" in SW17 for the most part of the year, after the Collier's Tup quiz became so abstract that it was no longer enjoyable, and attendance started to dwindle. Oh, and there are three free drink rounds throughout the course of the quiz - always a bonus! The staff are efficient and pleasant. What more can I say? An excellent boozer--certainly the best in the area. 9/10. P.S It even has the obligatory old man sat at the bar, drinking whisky and water. I can almost hear Billy Joel singing in the distance... jimini - 26 Dec 2007 18:30 |
| Smoky, unpleasant, charmless, witless, boring bog-standard Young's pub. Best avoided, unless for some reason you think that Young's pubs are too thin on the ground in southwest London. If you do think this, the psychiatrists at nearby St George's hospital are standing by to help you. Surrealale - 26 Apr 2007 14:08 |
