Food Quality
Pros:

"The food is good especially for a pub."
"Food always looks and smells excellent."
"Delicious vegan salad served by a friendly manager."
"The sharing camembert was awesome."
"Quality of the food is very good and fresh."
"The roast was nothing short of delicious, I very rarely order a roast in a pub because it is usually so disappointing."
Cons:
"A very disappointing Sunday lunch. Roast chicken was slimy, potatoes were cold and hard."
"Unfortunately, the food left a bit to be desired: perfectly edible, but not exciting."
"Good looking menu but there was absolutely no cheese in the mac n cheese and zero interest in fixing the mistake when notified."
"Food was a bit cold, sort of tasty but the temp spoiled it."
"Terrible experience for Sunday roast is microwaved. Mine was cold… every single item was cold."
"The whitebait was soggy too."
"I was having a wee downstairs in the toilet & the chef was stood next to me, finished having a wee and left the toilet without watching his hands."
Ambience and Decor
Pros:
"Relaxed environment and friendly staff."
"Perfectly good high street pub, good seating, cosy fireplaces, well decorated."
"Nice since the refurbishment and looks the part, bit warm sometimes."
"The cosy interior is perfect for rainy days, and the roof garden is the perfect spot for alfresco fun!"
"A refurbished pub, with modern wooden floors and a combination of high tables and chairs, as well as comfy armchairs and sofa's to create a cozy and relaxed atmosphere."
"Lovely decor, nice pub."
"The decor is really nice and cosy."
Cons:
"Entered seeking shade from the bright Sunday afternoon to be welcomed by a wall of insufferable pop music."
"Unfortunately the worst thing about the place is the tables (and not just for groups) are constantly reserved."
"When I got inside I was disappointed. All a bit soulless stripped back blond wood."
"The music was sooo loud I could not talk to my friends and we were left shouting at each other to have our conversation really ruining the pub experience."
"The music volume was cranked up to an extremely uncomfortable point making it a place impossible for old friends to have a beer and chat."
"Unfortunately this pub was, in my opinion, spoilt some years ago when it was refurbished."
"A guy came to open up who was very offish, he opened the door & walked off, basically no greeting whatsoever & didn't even keep the door open for the people waiting! Rude!"
Value
Pros:
"The prices are very affordable compared to other businesses in the area."
"Food and drink good value for money (in London)."
"Christmas dinner was amazing. The roast potatoes where crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle."
"The roasts are very good and fill both the plate and your stomach."
"But the food is a cut above and very reasonably priced."
"Reasonably priced."
"I. Like The Spotted Horse. Definitely one of the better places to eat / drink in Putney."
Cons:
"The pub is not bad but food too expensive and not enough staff."
"But charging £18 for a Sunday roast is unacceptable and although it was nice, it wasn't almost £20 nice."
"Prices are pretty extortionate however - can’t see the justification for charging £25 for two large rums (sailor Jerry) and a coke."
"they are so mean with loose snacks.. £2.50 for a tiny egg cup of peanuts not even properly filled.. this is the sort of thing you might expect to be given for free if you are drinking.. Meanness like that puts me off a pub."
"Loved the food here, and the service was great. I had initially given this place 5 stars, but now I am dropping it to 3 stars. The reason being that I was doubled charged for the food."
"Went to spotted horse with friends before going off to watch the boat race, had a nice Roast Dinner a bit steep at £18 for 2 slices of beef and a few Vegetables."
"My group of friends and I have decided we will not be returning to your very nice and thoroughly comfortable pub while this young woman is employed there."
