Food Quality
Pros:
"Have eaten here twice and the food was very nice."
"The Half Moon serves beers and wines etc and also delicious food, they do great Sunday lunches and snacks at the bar."
"Great food. Superb sirloin of beef for Sunday lunch."
"Fish and chips were delicious!"
"The food was amazing and the cocktails were too."
"Had roast chicken, delicious and super affordable for such a large portion and good quality!"
"Pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches at £6.50 including chips! Absolutely brilliant and more than we could have hoped for!!"
Cons:
"Very poor for a Sunday lunch the roast beef was tasteless, the roast chicken was dry."
"The food wasn't bad but it certainly wasn't reasonable to expect to charge gastro pub prices in exchange for bland dishes that feature chips out of a packet."
"Lovely place and Friendly staff. But food was awful. The burger was hard and dry."
"Great service but the food is very poor."
"However the food is terrible, paid £16.50 for sausage and mash with 'gravy' that looked like oily dishwater."
"The worst was the food, I paid 27 quid for two burgers... what I got couldn't compete with a Wetherspoons."
"Popped in today for the Sunday lunch after having a few positive experiences of the food beforehand. Unfortunately we were served best described as a school dinner."
Music Venue
Pros:
"Fantastic venue. We had a drink in the bar before going through to watch the band, the sound was excellent and there was a great atmosphere without feeling too crammed in."
"A fantastic Music venue and always really good sound."
"One of my favourite live music pubs! For blues music!"
"The music venue is fab as usual."
"Brilliant live music venue :(bus 22 from Green Park) good size raised stage."
"The gig area was large and enough room to move about which was brilliant! All in all a great time was had xx."
"Great Venue to see all types of Bands & Music."
Cons:
"Went to a gig in the back room. The sound was atrocious."
"I love live music but will not be going back there."
"No reason to go other than gigs."
"The sound quality wasn't as good as I was hoping because it's a live performance: the speakers just didn't give us that feeling as though they were clear enough."
"Really nice venue with live music and friendly staff. Just don't order the food, it's extremely bland."
"A brilliant live music venue, been around for 50 plus years which says everything and currently offering live music every night."
"Saw the new Tom Petty Tribute band and felt the vocals needed some harmonies from backing singers to support the lead singer."
Service and Staff
Pros:
"Absolutely love the vibe of this pub, it's got a great outdoor area too. The staff are super friendly and our drinks came quickly via the app."
"Staff were helpful and friendly too."
"The staff were informative and sweet and the food was incredible."
"Service was excellent, Jack was our waiter."
"The staff is very friendly and helpful."
"Incredibly helpful staff my friend and I assisted with disabilities."
"A good pub with good service. No waiting at the bar to be served and the place is busy enough to give a good atmosphere."
Cons:
"The service could be more efficient and customer focussed. Waiting 10 mins for service is too long."
"But there was no apology."
"Some of the worst bar service I've had in London, coupled with the most expensive prices I've paid for a drink."
"Not the best of places to have a nice chilled and relaxing Saturday afternoon, service was poor."
"Terrible service. Staff ignoring customers completely until they were ready to serve someone."
"The staff have no customer service skills at all. They never asked how we wanted the steak cooked, but I did tell them and they responded, it comes as standard?!?"
"Bar staff not the friendliest of people and came off quite cold, they seemed annoyed for quite simply having to work at this pub at any given day or time."
Atmosphere and Venue
Pros:
"A very nice little place overall, and look forward to when I go there again."
"The outside terrace has plenty of seating and an outdoor food stall in warmer months, and plenty of room for us antisocial smokers..."
"The Half Moon in Putney is fantastic !! It has a great atmosphere and they have plenty of live music."
"Great live music venue in a pleasant pub. Lots of history in the venue itself, good sound."
"Great pub with a very decent beer garden."
"Oh Yes! A music pub that has not gone all designer. Rough round the edges, raw, relaxed and pumping out loud live music to a crowd clearly delighted to be in such an environment."
"A really beautiful venue for live music with a very attractive garden."
Cons:
"Pub/venue is located on a main road so parking can be a problem at certain times."
"Open until 1, but the last three times you've been closed at midnight on a Saturday and tonight no entrance after midnight."
"Used to be such a nice place. But was told they CBA with the food after we ordered."
"I think the toilets were really stinky, and it just felt like the place wasn't cleaned up that often."
"Inside smells like a toilet."
"There was no shortage of staff but we just felt they all looked so scruffy. Little attempt to look smart for the job."
"Management done nothing. We will never set foot in this pub again."
Pricing
Pros:
"Drinks are london prices so expect to pay £7+ for a pint."
"Food was reasonably priced."
"A must visit if you want to support up and coming talent and for a good and inexpensive night out."
"Thought the price was fair given that you can easily pay over £20 for a steak in Putney, more across the river in Chelsea."
"Free parking too on Sundays which was an added bonus!"
"Love this place, simple quality food, great drinks, fantastic service. Best of all, every band that plays here is just amazing."
"Great music, great atmosphere, some great life music bands."
Cons:
"Additionally they did not have the drink I paid for through the app so substituted it with a drink £2 cheaper."
"Drinks far too expensive and poorly kept. Rip-off prices."
"I wasn't going to write a review until I found that the price of a Diet Coke, out of the machine, is £6. That is iniquitous."
"Great it’s still a live music venue but £16.50 for a tiny plate of microwaved sausage & mash + 15.50 for a tiny cafe burger & chips (not as described on menu) which I paid £40.95 for so they must have added service /VAT is a total rip off."
"The only downer about the place is the eye watering high prices for drinks."
"But shocking charged £35.50 for bottle white wine each!!!! Prices not advertised and card reader just offered."
"£4.75 for a pint of beer is outrageously expensive along with £2.75 for a soft drink."
