"I recently hosted a celebration for my cancer remission at The Althorp on December 9th, with approximately 60 guests, and I cannot praise them enough. The entire team at The Althorp ensured that my evening was absolutely perfect! I particularly enjoyed ‘The Common Room’, located at the back of the pub with its own facilities. We were able to play our own music, creating the ideal atmosphere for the night. Despite the private bar not having beer taps or soda guns, it was never an issue as there were plenty of bartenders at the main bar to quickly serve us. Another great aspect was that the booking only required a minimum spend, which was a relief as I was unable to pay hire fees for a non-Christmas party. I highly recommend The Althorp for future events. The food was delicious, with our guests quickly devouring the selection of canapés. The Yorkshire pudding roasties were especially outstanding! I would definitely return just for another meal. Thank you to the entire team for making my night so special. I will always be grateful."

"this former dig of natwest is now a fullers pub and it certainly benefits from the high ceilings and great space. I went on a Sunday afternoon and expected it to heaving, especially in consideration of its first-class position on the northcote road, but I was pleasantly surprised, although in hinting that this is a good indication of the quality of the place. they offer 3 meats for their Brat beef, pork and huh and I decided to go with the bark. Unfortunately they do not ask how they want it served and it was slightly over boiled for my taste. the portions are hearty and will fill the greatest appetite, but I was underwhelmed by the meal, as I had better elsewhere, in patrik at jam tree...read more"

"Just order the chips. We ordered the sharing board with lamb riblets, buttermilk chicken, shredded pork shoulder, etc. The lamb riblets were shredded not what I was expecting, but fine, though if you’re going to shred the ribs get rid of the bones please. The chicken strips were tasteless and pale. The sausage roll looked and tasted as if it was from a few days back was so so so dry so I didn’t actually mind the tiny portion on this so called sharing board. The bread was also stale it wasn’t toasted but was dry enough and crunchy enough to make you think it just hit the toaster. Slaw and pork were decent. We also ordered the apple, roasted plum, almond and watercress salad for £6.50. We got a roasted plum and rocket salad nowhere near the £6.50 price tag. I told the waiter who then told me that he had no time to update the app (not my fault) but given they had printed menus, a simple solution would be to cross it out or simply tell people after they ordered that they don’t have the ingredients available. In telling the waiter to understand my disappointment and that it was nowhere near the £6.50 tag, I was told I’d get a refund. I’m still waiting for my refund and given I paid on the app, I doubt you were actually going to give it to me. Overall poor experience. I do live two minutes away should you wish to give me my refund."

"I visited this pub for a hair show and found the atmosphere to be very relaxed. The events room had low lighting, so it's recommended to bring a ring light or use a friend's phone for flash photography. The toilets were aesthetically pleasing, but could use more regular cleaning as they had a noticeable odor. The event itself was fantastic! The drinks were a bit expensive though."

"Café Ole is a cosy yet spacious café with some outside space, located very conveniently next to Clapham Junction Station and bus stops, making it easy to pick up your coffee and pastries. The staff are friendly and polite and I like the decor. Best thing is that the coffee is reasonably priced, beating coffee chains like Costa and Nero!! They do know how to make the machiato to my liking! The only reason I did not give 5* rating is because during Tier 4 lockdown I found more than 6 people at the tables indoors. I am not sure if they were staff me3, but unlikely for so many to be there during closing hours."

"I've known this pub for nigh on forty years and it never fails to please. Our party of nine enjoyed a very long and pleasant mid-week Xmas lunch that stretched into the early evening courtesy of Adele and her colleagues. The food was of restaurant standard but very generously portioned. The real ale, wine and spirit options were reasonably extensive, moderately priced and most importantly promptly delivered whenever we ran dry."

"The restaurant's charming brick and wood interior, converted from the old railway station ticket hall, exudes character. It's an ideal spot for enjoying a few glasses of wine with friends. The drink prices are reasonable and the service is friendly."
"Not our first time here. When I ordered a winter warmer it had to be half guiness and half winter warmer but the bar tender said they don't serve it that way. I had a gin and tonic in a normal glass and that just p d me off. Weatherspoon can do better. I went opposite Tooting Broadway Market Graveney's Gin on a proper Gin Glass. It's also expensive here our drinks Winter warmer and a double Gin and tonic came to £20:40."

"We found this place online and decided to take the bus to have breakfast. It was worth the trip. We even went there the next day too. It has good ambiance, really cool and friendly owner. Really good guy. Although his crew is quite new, the breakfasts were well cooked and just delicious. This place gives you a good value for money in London. There’s also lot’s of choice in types of breakfast and take out. I saw people from many different countries travellers eating there."

"During the busy holiday season, finding a last-minute spot for a work Christmas dinner can be challenging. However, the Antelope in Poole not only accepted our late reservation but welcomed us warmly, turning what could have been a hectic evening into a delightful festive experience. The restaurant's warm and festive ambiance immediately set the tone for the evening, with tasteful decorations creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere perfect for celebrating the holidays with a group. The culinary experience was exceptional, with each dish, from appetizers to desserts, being a delight. The chefs clearly put thought and care into the menu, accommodating a variety of tastes and dietary preferences to ensure everyone at the table was pleased. The standout feature, however, was the impeccable service. Despite our last-minute booking, the staff was incredibly accommodating, efficient, and friendly, making us feel like valued regulars. The value for money was also impressive, with high-quality food and exceptional service at a reasonable price. The presentation of the dishes added an extra touch of class to the meal, enhancing the overall dining experience. The Antelope's professionalism and grace in handling a last-minute booking left a lasting impression on us all. The combination of the inviting atmosphere, delicious food, excellent service, and great value has secured The Antelope as a favorite spot for future festive seasons. We are eager to return and continue enjoying the wonderful experience that this restaurant has to offer."

"Despite living close by, I hadn 't been to this pub for many years. Recently due to my usual spot being closed I decided to give it a try. I was blown away by the really excellent cooking and lovely service and raved about it to my wife. Last night we went back there for dinner. It was Monday night and we were the only two customers. The waitress was sweet but a little on the ditzy side, forgetting a drinks order for about 15 minutes and then going to ask a question about desserts to the kitchen and not coming out for ten minutes till we had to go and ask them ourselves through the hatch. The food (that we ate was good but the main issue was that literally six items that we tried to order were not on the menu. 'Oh, we are waiting for some orders to come ' was the waitresses only explanation. These items constituted over a third of the menu, four of which were our initial preferred choices so she had to come back three times and didn 't even really know what was on or off o the menu and had to keep going back to the till or the kitchen to ask. We came to the place with so much goodwill and anticipation but probably will not be coming back now as if you 're going to charge £140 for dinner for two with a relatively modest drinks order (two glasses each , then you can 't have such gaping holes in what you 're offering. There was no management in evidence so we had to politely tell the waitress of the end of our disappointment. I think someone with a little more autonomy might have made some sort of gesture towards the bill but that was unforthcoming. That 's not what we came in looking for by any means but might have helped us as a gesture. As it is, all that credit accrued is blown away especially to two locals that were genuinely intending to make it a regular visit. So disappointing."

"Super family friendly, awesome helpful staff, spacious and cute. Food is amazing! Great selection of beers, real ales and wines. Brought us crayons and books and paper. Ideal for early dinner with 2 kids. Fish and chips are some of the best I’ve had and the malt vinegar is artisan; such a nice little touch."

"I always thought all bar one existed in to drink twenty dinges and 'on the train' on a Saturday night. I think this is still a big part of ab1, but it is now a good place for people to go for coffee during the day and it is now a decent place for vegan to go, as there is a good number of vegan options on the menu. at the time when I went, they offered two courses for 10,95 or three courses for 13,95 from a set menu so there was hardly an avocado on the bruschetta completely overpowered by the salsa . the laska was decent, but a bit slandered. the sorbet was good. So overall, I would say that eating in the set menu was nothing special. the battersea all bar one is located on the lively northcote road near clapham junction station. like most ab1s there is much space inside. it was all good and it is a surprisingly good place to go to dinner. I will be back to try more from the menu, but not the top brands for now. updated by the previous review on 2018 09 06"

"After attempting to pop in for a quick nightcap after finishing my 12 hour shift at the bar I work at in central, I was rudely whacked in the stomach by a woman mid conversation with two guys having a cigarette outside. I initially thought she was part of their group, just having a conversation so tried to get past to enter the venue but I was struck in the stomach. This is absolutely unacceptable! If this is the way you treat your customers then I dread to think what happens on the inside of this venue. The woman claimed she was a manager on the door but as a small woman in a plain black T-shirt, she just looked like the other drunk people outside and as a manager, she should absolutely know not to strike a customer!!! As someone who also manages a bar, I really think you need to investigate this and certainly make your welcome into your site a bit better…"

"they know what they get with pizza express and this restaurant keeps the quality of the chain. I visit regularly with a 2 year old and the staff is friendly and helpful, served immediately to dine and put on a Sunday afternoon with his throwing of eating and loud tantrums. can't blame it. yes, there is better pizza, but it is local and it is good price (and it is on the map)"

"We always visit The Rocket whenever we are in London on holiday,It is the perfect place for some pub grub after a busy day exploring London.It is typical Wetherspoons fare so nothing too adventurous but enough choice and definitely filling.I had the fish and chips and it was possibly the biggest piece of fish I had ever had with a fish and chip meal!No complaints on portion sizes at all. The only disappointment was that most of the draught lagers were off that night however that fact was well notified before we sat down so no unexpected surprises when we came to order food and drinks. The pub is in a lovely location,always seems to be a nice atmosphere,the food and drinks came fast and all the staff we had contact with were very polite.Definitely a good place to eat and drink."

"I fancied a few beers and a meal while I worked, but found the WiFi wasn't working. Barmaid was unhappy being interrupted from playing with her phone, told me she didn't know where the router was to reboot it, she couldnt find out, and that no, she wouldn't leave a message that there was a problem for whoever did know. Was rudely told I should have bought a data plan for my phone. Went out of her way from the very start of the conversation to make it plain she couldn't care less and that she resented my having interacted with her. I took my custom to The Rocket a short way away where the beer is half the price, the WiFi works, the staff aren't rude and the view is nicer since it's smack bang by the river. Hopefully the Arab Boy will sell out to one of the pubcos that have procedures in place to ensure adequate staff training, proper handling of feedback/complaints and maintenance of facilities. Being independently owned which they proudly trumpet as a differentiator isn't a selling point if one's **** and hires staff that don't give a toss about customer service."

"Steak was OK, not the best as it used to be. Overall experience ruined by horrible service. Total of 3 people working on the restaurant floor on a Saturday evening!! Food took 1hr 30mins to come after ordering (it was not that busy, several tables were empty). Tables not being cleaned after people had left, at one point there were 4 tables uncleaned, and people waiting at the door for a table. Had to keep reminding them about drink and food orders just so they can bring them! Food being brought out one by one. I got my steak but the sauce didn't come till later so couldn't start eating! Ridiculous service making the overall experience rubbish"

"I used to consider this place as my local pub and was very happy with the service (see my review in 2017). I recently went with a friend and we had to wait 1 hour and 30min for lunch as nothing was ready. The pub was empty and the staff very young and unexperienced: they absolutely didn 't have a clue. There was a limited selection of food and the quality was average. Basically, we waited 90min for snacks (no mains or complicated dishes). Nobody seemed to care, a part from the poor young waitress who kept saying: sorry, I 'm only 20 years old . We felt sorry for her, the problem was the non-existent management. Such a shame as the atmosphere is lovely, but if this is the standard of service, we will not go back again."
