Atmosphere & Ambiance
Pros:
"Always worth a visit. For beer, food, sport, theatre, garden... Whatever."
"Great pub with a lively atmosphere as the evening gets later."
"Really nice atmosphere in the pub and all the team were great."
"The pub was very hygienic and social distancing was adhered to everywhere."
"It’s got a nice vibe in here."
"Service was great, atmosphere was fun."
"The atmosphere was lively and fun."
Cons:
"It was noisy, we went for a family meal (with a baby) the food was awful, no one ate but I found it astonishing that the staff didn’t even care that ALL of our plates when back to the kitchen hardly touched, service was extremely slow considering there was hardly any customers."
"Not a terribly diverse crowd, leading to a pretty awkward vibe."
"It felt like they were trying to rush us out the door."
"The music was actually on a tad bit too loud and we all struggled to hear each other."
"The bartenders could be friendlier."
"The Sunday roasts are lukewarm, very small in portion size."
"The staff were friendly enough, if not particularly useful."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Food is delicious, we were 16 eating at the Christmas party and everything was spotless and no complaints from any of my colleagues."
"Really lovely food, huge portions."
"They have a great menu, the Sunday roast is a particular favourite."
"The roasts were gorgeous, probably the best roast I've had at a pub/restaurant."
"The food that was supplied was excellent."
"The food was fabulous we had the Thai Fish cakes, Holy Basil & Nahm Jim we had not had before but wow what an accompanying sauce."
"The food was incredible and they were really open to allowing us to customise the experience in the way we wanted."
Cons:
"The food was bland, the charcuterie tasted like it was package meat and not sliced fresh in the kitchen."
"The pea puree tasted like the peas had been taken out the bag & pureed without cooking them first."
"Food was awful chips rock hard over priced should have gone to the chippy next door!"
"But it could have been hotter, the slices of meat were on the thin side and the roast potatoes could have been crispier."
"The batter was thick and inedible, chips were ok, but once cold, also inedible."
"Busy pub but the Sunday roast and fish and chips were terrible."
"Unfortunately the food was a serious let down."
Service
Pros:
"Staff very friendly and helpful."
"We were attended to quite quickly which was nice."
"Working with Corbin was seamless and efficient and on the day he and his team were so great it just made the experience even better."
"Services from staff was welcoming but not overbearing Ben was very attentive."
"Great welcoming male Aussie host with a goaty beard. He was attentive and gave us a VIP treatment."
"Service was really friendly, pub is good and clean."
"Really good service from the waitress very friendly."
Cons:
"Had a bad experience - booked a 10 seater online, upon arrival a rude manager (bartender?) said we absolutely had to order food."
"Was overcharged for my meal and hassled by a rude waiter."
"The waitress came to take my plate without asking if I have finished."
"Our server then promptly disappeared and we were given no chance to order dessert."
"We have lived around the corner from this pub for almost 18 months now and have consistently encountered rude staff members."
"The waitress behind the bar was really rude - pointed behind me to someone else to find my table, yawned in my face when serving me."
"Sat down for 10mins before having to go and ask for menus, then waited another 15 mins with no service despite there being plenty of staff around."
Value
Pros:
"Super good deals on mains between 6pm-7pm weekdays for 10£."
"So a pint of beer and a meal for 10£ each! Can't hardly beat that for a very nice place."
"For just £20, we got so much value for our money."
"There was a great offer on for locals for £20 when you spend £60 which made the price very reasonable."
"Two starters and two mains with two drinks at less than £60 bargain!"
"For Battersea, pretty well decent value for money too."
"They do a 33% Discount if you sign up with them for Mon - Friday."
Cons:
"On the rather expensive side (£5+ a pint, £15 for pie and mash)."
"Prices were very high - a tiny portion of nuts would cost you around £3,50."
"They charge £1.50 additional for Yorkshire puddings, despite their roast costing £15+."
"Tiny portions, very expensive & I was asked to open a tab in order to order dinner."
"Not a terribly diverse crowd, leading to a pretty awkward vibe."
"Bar service not always great though."
"Decent pub with children playground, good Sunday roast but messy and unorganised came with an after charge in the evening that included drinks we never had (cider)."
Accessibility & Inclusivity
Pros:
"The pub was very hygienic and social distancing was adhered to everywhere."
"Lovely outdoor seating area at the back with a separate 'family area' to one side."
"Super dog friendly, a great local place to bring the dog for a drink."
"The beer garden is spacious."
"Nice place to have food and drinks with groups, or on ur own, shows sports on big screens, also has a lovely garden and little play area for children, friendly."
"We always enjoy a relaxing afternoon in The Latchmere and they are dog friendly."
"The service is top notch too and the outdoor seating is great and catches lots of sun."
Cons:
"Vegans avoid this place by all means. Dead animal heads on the walls, pictures of hunting dogs and surprise surprise no vegan food (except for one starter)."
"Dog friendly but not so wheelchair friendly pub in Battersea."
"There is also no accessible toilet."
"The ladies toilets were also disgusting - one of the doors has a broken lock so unusable."
"Bit noisy from the roads when the windows are open on a hot day though."
"Would give this 5 star but there's management that brings personal drama to the pub and the tears create tension, ruining the atmosphere unfortunately."
"Not 5 star as it seemed to lack the feel of a local with regulars."
