A pub of incredible proportions, The Avalon has a vast dining area, a generously proportioned bar , and a beer garden so large you could play hide and seek in it. Read more

William

Excellent service , delicious food. Fillet steak is fantastic, especially at half the price with a tastecard. Lovely garden . Avoid on Friday & Saturday nights

Upstairs dining room is uber cute ! The food portions were generous and the quality outstanding!

Nick Brackenbury

Lovely weekend vibe, friendly staff , and deliciously large portions of good. Great place to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Valentina Covey

Lovely family-friendly pub in between Clapham South and Balham. The best Sunday chicken roast I've ever had!

Chris R (thechristophe)

Great beer garden , but service is weird and social distancing is not observed. Pizzas and burgers .

Mr P

Dining room is pretty elegant for a gastro pub with its massive chandeliers . Beef short rib was excellent and recommended.

James Brothers

Sunday roasts here are pretty good, busy but great for groups . Be careful ordering a set menu as they can skimp.

Alex Gibson

Best roast I've ever had. Pork belly is incredible. For 15 quid it's worth every penny

Paul Gallagher

Food is good when on taste card. Not a bad spot for a drink with friends when in the area. Can get busy!

Jason B

The beef roast is amazing, as is the beer garden , but veggies beware: there is no gravy with the nut roast

Jon Moore

Delicious food (get the pie ????). Nice atmosphere. Good crowd ???? ????????

Peter Harrison

Fantastic food and great selection of beers . If you are in the area, pop in.

AskMen

Go for the beef -- it's a belt-buster and will send you into a food coma truly worthy of a Sunday afternoon. Read more

David Kelham

Good food and good service sensibly priced . A good local venue in South Clapham.

Tom Newman

Good food and drink, the Monday night pub quiz is brilliant though!

Nick Van de Weyer

Quality food and ales in a fancy yet family friendly environment . Kitchen open for lunch 12-3:30 and again in the evening 6-10:30

Jos Jones

Really big pub , good for a drink. Food is hit and miss, as is the service. Nice atmosphere though.

Chris R (thechristophe)

Come early, get the good seats out back.

James Smith

Great outdoor area and nice range of beers

Gavin Bell

One of the best beer gardens around. Though if you order a 'bucket' of chips , guarantee they'll arrive before your meal as they come from the main kitchen and not the bbq . But at least they tell you t

Nick Craske

Non alcoholic Atrawberty Daquoris are lush... But then again, if I were drinking I would be drinkimg an ice cold beer . But I'm not. Damn. Well I hope you have an amazing beer !!!!!!

Jonathan Robinson

This is a lovely pub , but Saturday night brings out the worst of it. Great backbar; when you can hear yourself speak.

Brandon Hoang

Plenty of great British beers on tap .

Nikki Kalogirou

Really nice and busy place! ! Beautiful decoration and people,,

Manuela Tossi

The quinoa salad is very nice!

Thomas Evans

One of the best beer gardens around

Ian Murray

Extensive whisky selection

Jack Hughes

Very nice burger , dog friendly .

BarChick

They put horseradish in their bloodys. Drink one in the beer garden on a Sunday afternoon!

Urban Nomad

All the World Cup matches will be showing here

Christopher Saul

Location, that's pretty much it if you're veggie ...

Ben Carpenter

get coffee brought to you at one of the garden tables. See how long a sugar lump sits on the foam of their lattes .

David Rose

Absolutely disgusted that the disabled toilet / baby change has no lock. Ok if changing a nappy but if I was someone who needed to use the disabled toilet , what the hell am I supposed to do?!

Tommy

Nice big beer garden

Kevin

Nice seated area out the front, watch out for the suits :(

Kieran Clinton-Tarestad

Check out the huge secret beer garden at the back

Daniel Murphy

Great food

Liam

Sunday roast came with cold roast potatoes ... Sacrilege. Avoid.

Emily Rocks

Might be a nice pub , but clientele and security leave a lot to be desired. Smashing pint glasses on the floor seems to be a favourite game.

Emma McLean

AMAZING sunday lunches . Pricey but huge and delicious. Read more

Alvin Askoolum

Lovely bar !

Carmen W

Food may be good, but the measures are short . Shame.

David Rose

Good food but rude service. Head to The Stonhouse instead!

Sarah Greig

Beware you can't get drunk here!

Peter Scobie

Check out the sticky toffee pudding

Sarah Greig

They are so paranoid about people drinking they can't put toilet roll in the loos bad show

David Keaney

Very bland roast beef . Disappointing. Probably more flavour in Burger King across the road . Frozen peas ? Really!? Bad show all round.
