The Hope, Wandsworth Common

The Hope seems popular - but it's hard to see why exactly. On a recent visit (en route to the excellent Chez Bruce nearby) we were charged over �6 a glass for a fairly indifferent rose - not properly cold either. When we queried the price, the staff weren't exactly rude but certainly offhand. We were told that the house rose - which we'd not been offered - would have been cheaper but still over �5. This makes the Hope pricey even by central London standards. I doubt very much that I will bother going back.
