Service
Pros:
"Booked a table for the rugby this afternoon and was very happy with service."
"Shoutout to the manager Katie who really took care of us and helped us out on a really busy night."
"Thank you to the lovely lady at the door who was able to seat me and my friends despite it being very busy."
"Had a great time at the pub with Jack, Vilijia, and the team making my evening amazing!"
"The staff were all very friendly and helpful."
"The staff go the extra mile, from the friendly doormen to the bar staff (shout out to Nick), you’re sure to have a class night."
"The staff were friendly, welcoming, and very respectful of social distancing and government guidance."
Cons:
"You have to barge through to get anywhere and even then people push you constantly."
"Really crappy customer service skills also - unable to say sorry or even respond at all to a complaint."
"Got spoken to in an extremely rude way by an older man."
"When I reported it to a waitress she told me 'that's the manager's brother' and refused to help because of this."
"Ordered 2 single vodka cokes and was charged £25. When I raised this with the staff they refused to refund me the difference and were extremely unhelpful."
"After the wrong drinks were brought to our table, two female staff came over in a confrontational manner."
"When asked for manager we were told that she/he is busy dealing with the chef. So didn’t even have a courage to talk to us!"
Atmosphere
Pros:
"This is a absolutely fantastic pub, and had so much going for it."
"Food an atmosphere were 10/10 we will definitely be back."
"Being new to the district, a friend and I decided to try Sunday lunch in the pub. We arrived at 2pm and there was an pleasant atmosphere with a variety of different type tables and seating."
"Nice pub with a good atmosphere."
"Wonderful Bar... The customers always seem to be having a great time and are very well dressed."
"A nice pub with a pretty good vibe, most fellow patrons are quite friendly rather than pushy or stuck-up."
"The Northcote is really the epitome of Clapham... it’s got a fun and youthful vibe, in many ways it’s a local institution and a must visit."
Cons:
"Avoid! Unfortunately this pub really has gone down hill."
"Advertised as the best pub in the area, I found it pretentious, way too loud to the point where it was hard to have a conversation."
"It’s absolutely packed on Friday and Saturday nights, with a buzzing atmosphere and an almost too packed to move room."
"Really packed and the music is way too loud on weekend nights, and people are jumping to order ahead of you so it can take some time."
"On a Saturday night Crowded with some pushing/shoving testosterone filled 'lads'."
"However it is often really busy, so busy that you can't hear yourself speak and it is often a pain to sneak to the bar to have your drinks."
"What a grotty pub. Yellowing, dirty ceiling paper hanging from the ceiling."
Food & Drinks
Pros:
"The food was well presented and delicious - with care paid to my request for a gluten-free meal."
"Seriously awesome katsu vegan burger, and friendly accommodating service."
"They have some great cocktails & some good wine."
"Popped in with friends for some drinks and food, the steak and ale pie was amazing and not like most 'pub grub'."
"The beer was great, the staff were fantastic and also gave much appreciated table service!!"
"Food and drinks are well priced for this part of London, and there is a good selection of beers."
"The food we ordered was amazing, we had two roast combination (it seems big but worth of it), water and triple cooked chips... delicious!"
Cons:
"Lost two stars since the food is pretty bland and tasteless."
"The gravy was not gravy as such, it was more a meat flavoured water much like a beef stock."
"Food was awful, overpriced for what it was."
"£15 for a burger without chips and 'super-overwelldone' is not acceptable."
"Standard London drink prices and decent interiors but ordered sharing chips for the table which cost £18 and was the most average plate of chips I have ever had."
"The place itself is nice but the cleanliness and value for money was shocking."
"The food isn't great."
Price
Pros:
"And when the bill arrived I was surprised that we’d all eaten (and drank) incredibly well over the course of three hours for around £30 a head. Excellent value."
"I highly recommend the very reasonably priced tequila!"
"The food is also very good and well priced, the burgers and fries were lovely."
Cons:
"Price-wise, I'd say that charging nearly £20 for a roast is excessive."
"I just can't get over how expensive it is. £7 for a pint of Gamma Ray!"
"Drinks are overpriced - just shy of £15 for a double G&T."
"It was expensive and a disappointment."
"Very expensive food, a burger for £16 and was genuinely level with a 2am McDonald’s - dry and just meh in terms of flavour and size."
"Nearly £14 for two pints and a non-existent local ale/craft selection was mind boggling."
"Bit frustrating paying £2.30 for a lime and soda."
Management & Staff
Pros:
"The manager, Katie I think (sorry if it’s wrong), is brilliant!"
"The staff were all amazing - really helpful and friendly as well as efficient."
"The staff continually go above and beyond in terms of service."
Cons:
"Unfortunately the management within Northcote isn’t at the same standard."
"Racist manager."
"The manager is a delusional delinquent who really needs to sort her problems out at home before she comes to work."
"When we asked for the bill, we realised the service charge was added - when questioned... the barman didn't really have an answer."
"Extremely disappointing Sunday roast... I mentioned to at least 3 staff that it didn’t taste right who couldn’t care less."
"A dirty nappy left in the Gents toilet."
"No baby changing facilities. One cubicle in men's toilet, but with a broken lock."
