Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Cannot fault the absolutely delightful staff. They were all very special. Could not have been more attentive or helpful. However my chicken schnitzel was three quarters inedible. My friend’s burger was no more than “ok”. We paid our bill and I told the person taking...the bill (having paid it) that as an “observation not a complaint” about the chicken. She immediately disappeared - me saying “I’ve paid and don’t want a refund” she came back with a credit to my card. This was unexpected and not reason for my comment. However from the service point of view this response was excellent. The environment was good with plenty of space between tables .More

Really good service. Really good staff. Good place to watch the RWC. Didn't have to wait long for food or drinks and staff were very accommodating.

It happens to be my local but I’ve got very frustrated with this place after years of trying. There’s hardly ever anywhere to sit and if you do manage to do so, you’re sitting in a corridor - it’s not a relaxing environment. The whole...pub is one big corridor.More

We turned up for another of their great Sunday lunches but wondered why they were so empty. They used to be packed out on Sundays. Turned out the lovely slabs of beef had morphed into thinnest slices possible. No wonder people were voting with their...feet. Then came back a few weeks later for their 2-for-1 Tuesday evening burgers. Again, not even half full. We were not asked how we wanted them cooked. When we tried to discuss this, were told the burgers came "as is" because they were pre-cooked! Not surprisingly, while (admittedly) the patties were better than MacDonalds, the burger as a whole was not nearly as tasty. And, why would you even need to completely pre-cook the burgers when not even 10 people were ordering them that evening?More

I love this pub. I've had sunday roasts in probably every pub in the Putney and Wandsworth area and this is by far the best one I've had. Add to that the excellent selection of wines and superbly kept ales and I was on to...a winner. The music was exactly what I wanted on a sunday afternoon (late 50s, early 60s classics), the staff were friendly and welcoming, and they had a great couple of Chesterfields by the fire for a closing glass of vino. A wonderful pub and somewhere I'll be visiting regularly on a sunday afternoon.More

We were one of the earliest in, at 1pm. This pub hasn’t really changed in at least a decade, since Fergus and his superb wine list first put it on the map. We've tried it every few years since and were always disappointed, until now....Food took about 15” in an almost empty restaurant but arrived hot and abundant. Two thick cut and large slices of excellent quality sirloin with carrots, parsnips, broccoli and crispy potatoes. The vegetables were perfect, just slightly al dente, and the gravy - unusually - was even better than ours. The restaurant part was filling up by the time we finished, with a cross section of couples, families and groups of friends. We booked our next Sunday lunch before leaving.More
