Atmosphere & Setting
Pros:
"Great beer garden away from the busy main road out front."
"Great atmosphere, lovely food, great gin selection and friendly staff."
"Always a good crowd, music is spot on."
"The outside area is very pretty, 10x better than under previous ownership."
"Sensational atmosphere, staff, variety of drinks but most importantly to our intrepid adventure here at the Kings Arms; the quiz master Chazz."
"The beer garden is about the best I've ever been to in the UK."
"The King’s Arms is a delightful treat on a dying Wandsworth High Street."
Cons:
"General bad vibes across the board."
"Overruled by ridiculous door policy."
"Altercations between patrons disrupted the atmosphere and a large security presence made us feel a little on edge."
"There was an incredibly tense and hostile feeling inside."
"Making for a pathetic atmosphere for the game. Add to that poor service and it made for a terrible experience."
"The garden has shrunk and is not really a garden anymore, vibe is strange."
"An utterly horrific pub populated by the more mentally defective security guards of Guantanamo bay who were let off."
Food & Drink
Pros:
"Food menu is varied and delicious."
"Food was also good and just a really nice feel in the pub."
"We had a brilliant birthday dinner!"
"The food menu (some would call them pricey but I'd say it's just about right for the food received) was very good."
"The new food menu is lovely and for the first time in over a year, they are now doing Roast dinners."
"The food was delicious! A few of us got fish and chips and it’s quite possibly the best fish and chips I’ve had in a while!"
"Food was amazing and we all loved it. The Ox cheek platter and veggie sliders were a big hit."
Cons:
"The classic burger lacked sauce, the brioche bun was not toasted and incredibly dry."
"But it has also made me incredibly Ill with food poisoning."
"Decent drinks selection - massively falls down on the quality of the food. Roast beef came with one scraggy, tiny wafer-thin bit of greasy, overcooked beef meaning I effectively paid £19 for a plate of soggy vegetables."
"The roast dinners looked amazing but unfortunately due to suppliers not making a delivery they ran out."
"The wings however were unacceptable, bony little deep fried shrimpy things."
"The menu is way expensive and compared with the quality is definitely not worth."
"Roast was raw, Brussels like stone, Potatoes over fried."
Service & Staff
Pros:
"Service is friendly and prompt."
"Well looked after by staff."
"Service very good and friendly."
"I just wanna say BIG THANK YOU to the staff at The Kings Arms in Wandsworth."
"The staff are an absolute delight, really friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel utterly welcome."
"The staff were fantastic, really friendly and attentive."
"Toilets are very clean and well stocked and the staff have a constant smile on their faces and are so friendly."
Cons:
"But the service was atrocious. It took us over 45 minutes to get served at the bar."
"The staff are so inexperienced and slow!"
"Service was very slow considering there wasn’t many tables."
"Incredibly rude service, staff were talking behind the bar as if they were on a stroll in a park whilst the customers were 3 rows deep waiting."
"Waited 1hr 30 mins for my roast lunch while everyone else on my table got theirs and had finished."
"Service slow, overpriced, waiters and bar staff miserable, food awful."
"Very slow service, waited a long time for drinks."
Price & Value
Pros:
"For 4 pints 4 burgers and 2 chips the cost was 84 pounds."
"Lost a star because it’s a bit on the pricey end."
"Good pub loads of cover and good atmosphere not the cheapest but it's been done up so nicely you don't mind the price."
"Really tasty/affordable food and friendly staff (matt)."
"The pub is well priced and the food quality was very good."
"Drinks were around average sort of prices and the cocktails were delightful."
"The prices aren't extortionate considering it's in a really annoying part of Wandsworth."
Cons:
"Word on the street is its a near £million one by Youngs."
"Decent enough but way too pricey for the food and drinks we received. There's accounting for inflation, and then there's being an opportunist."
"Well it's quite simple. A gorgeous secret garden, that is no way worth the overpriced, short measured lukewarm beer and undertrained team."
"Ordered a double vodka and coke...£14. The price of a bottle."
"The burgers were good but small."
"Drinks were extremely expensive (£7.90 for 2 lemonades, one with elderflower in)."
"Price of food very expensive, mains I saw on the main menu around £14-£15."
