Latest reviews from Wimbledon

“Spacious and nice looking pub just across the street from Wimbledon station. Pleasant now that it is non-smoking, pretty bad before that. 4 or 5 cask handpumps, also some kegs and bottles. The cask ales I had were in perfect nick.“

“Visited on the odd occasion over the years. Much like the nearby Dog & Fox really - a large Young’s pub / hotel in Wimbedon village. The bar area is rather more pubby than at the Dog & Fox, with a slate floor and less emphasis on armchairs and other comfy but unpubby furniture. Four or five (I forget) handpumps carry mainly Young’s & Charles Wells beers. Not much of interest on keg. Wimbledon is one of those smart areas of London that should really support plenty of interesting beer places but it fails dismally in this respect so I can’t really say there are lots of better places to drink nearby. The best beer range is in the Spoons. The pubs over by the Common - the Hand In Hand & the Crooked Billet (both also Young’s pubs) have more character and a better beer range but are apt to be rammed unless you visit at quieter times of day on quieter days of the week.“

“Visited on the odd occasion over the years. A large Young’s pub / hotel in Wimbedon village. The bar area is quite smart but not particularly pubby, perhaps reflecting the dual purpose pub-hotel function. There’s a bank of six handpumps but, like as not, you’ll just find Youngs & Charles Wells beers on offer. Meantime is about as good as it gets on keg.

“Decent tardis like Spoons hidden away a few mins stroll from Wimbledon station. Popped in on a busy Saturday evening. Security on the door. Place was busy, lots of staff on but seemed to chat more to each other than serve customers. Couple of banks of handpulls and picked up a couple of Kissingate beers kept well. A decent effort for a Spoons“

“Situated not far from Wimbledon station. Visited during the recent Spoons fest in March. Little did I know that this place is actually bigger than I realised (should of read previous reviews), and they actually hand 18+ casks on. Entered via the the "theatre end" and there was 6 casks on (1-6) which I tried, leaving reminder for myself to go here for the next spoons fest. Apart from the large amount of casks, this is still a typical spoons affair so you know what you getting, in regard to food, drinks etc. Worth visiting if in the area due to the amount of casks on offer.“

“Large place with two bars. It took me a couple of visits to find out about the bar in the back, but two bars means that they have something like 15 changing cask ales, which is good. Two exits is also useful. Always something new to try and most often it is also possible to find something good. Standard Wetherspoon menu with vegetarian options and pretty fair prices on the beers. The service is quick but not too knowledgeable when it comes to the beers but they will give samples. Ok place all in all and just a short walk from Wimbledon station.“

“I had nice fish and chips here at the weekend. It is a strange layout that’s like a dog leg but you get good beer, food and service at either end.“

“A large traditional looking Wetherspoon with wood paneling and soft furnishings throughout. It’s a strange building layout as it is essentially a zig zag or lightening bolt shape with two entrances and two bars at either end. Ale can be found at both bars and there’s no shortage of space inside or decoration and local information on the walls.“
