The Fox and Hounds, Battersea

Great mid week cosy pub in the winter. Serve great food which they change regularly and is not too expensive. Nice garden to sit out in the summer and the staff are nice and friendly too - nuff said!

Bread and Roses, Clapham

Great pub to come to in the summer, but unfortunately, they just serve tapas food now which is a little bit pricey for what it is. It's a shame they don't do their burgers anymore. The vibe here can be on and off, sometimes it gets very busy and others it's dead. I think it's one of those pubs where it's a bit too far out to make a local and to want to go to all the time at weekends. Nice friendly staff though and good choice of beers.

The Trafalgar, Chelsea

I go to this pub quite a lot, but not out of choice as a coupe of friends who live nearby are too lazy to go anywhere else that is half decent so sometimes I have to swallow my pride and make an appearance! Although the decor has been updated over the past year or so and does look a lot more inviting, I'm not a fan of this pub at all, the service is sooooo sloooow it's painful sometimes! I was here last night and they had two, yes two bar staff working at one of the most busy periods ever!! What were they thinking?? We ordered some food which we waited 30/45 mins for and it all came out cold. The waitress give her her due was very apologetic and quickly offered us free drinks and a couple of free portions of chips which we gladly accepted. There was no one collecting glasses so there was empties everywhere and it made the place look a mess. Funnily enough, this pub is owned by the same folk who run the Calf which I've also posted a review on - yep, that's not great either!
