The Sun, Clapham

I have to echo the last few comments. I was in there last night, a not overly-busy Thursday. It took ages and ages to get served. We weren't even two or three deep at the bar. They were just painfully slow... Lots of empty glasses around too.

The Stonhouse, Clapham

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.

The Calf, Clapham

This is one of the best pubs in Clapham in my opinion: individual and friendly. I'm not sure why it hasn't got better reviews or a higher rating. There's an excellent range of beers, the wine list is half decent and the food is above average pub grub. It's big too so it's not very difficult to find a seat.

The only downside as far as I'm concerned is the complete lack of anywhere outside for smokers or anyone hoping to enjoy a bit of sun. Still, I don't smoke and this is rainy England so it's not a major problem most of the year.
