    Welcomed by Felicia one of the waitress’s who had a lovely smile and presence about her as soon as I walked in and not long after ordering was served a drink given by Eunice who made one of the best cocktails I’ve had in a while, 10/10 for service and drinks well done girls! highly recommend.

    AVOID. Come for drinks, sure but don’t order any food. We left the table with the amount of food left in the pictures, simply couldn’t eat anymore. I only ate the fries and struggled to force a few bites of the Byrd get down. A simple cheese burger and nachos you think would be good. No. Absolutely not. Burger was burnt, nachos are stale. The dollop of guac was just sad. Also just no flavor in general. Very disappointing to lose £25.50 on these. Swindled! Definitely not the greatest of all time. Do better !!

    The food is well below average (think mash kept under a hot lamp for a nice long time), the pints cost over 7 quid (there's inflation, but come on, the arrogance to think you can do that) and to top it off, you could well get your possessions stolen as I did. On top of that it has absolutely zero atmosphere (very very Wetherspoons) no outside area and is in a location populated by far better bars. There is no reason for anyone to ever go here other than to, I guess, steal a some bits and bobs from patrons who have been temporsrily stunned into ignorance by their dire pub experience.

    Good pub food, had a nice pie with a salad. It can get noisy after the football practice is over and everyone comes for a pint.

    Great service. Great pub quiz on Mondays. Unfortunately was a bit quiet when we went but probably due to being a Monday after a heavy bank holiday for everyone. The staff were so lovely and helpful. I didn’t eat much but tried one of my friends chicken starters and it was delicious. Nice pub

    Dear Goat, I want to give you some feedback re our experience at your pub last night. I arrived with a friend at just after 7pm and we were both shocked to find that there was no staff anywhere. We searched upstairs which was empty in darkness and saw your chef on his mobile, completely ignored us. We then went downstairs, walked round the bar and was just about to leave as 2 bar staff finally appeared. We ordered our drinks with no "welcome" from either staff and sat down. Then we ordered food at approximately 8pm which was obviously forgotten about as it took over an hour to arrive. We did receive an apology once we chased the order after 9pm and the food was good but the overall experience was really disappointing. I had travelled from Horsham to meet friends for the first time in 2 years and was recommended to visit you but I left apologising to my friends and feeling personally responsible for a pretty poor service.Ordinarily I wouldn't complain but I would appreciate some compensation perhaps the form of a refund on our meals? Please could you let me know your email address to resolve this issue? Thank you so much. Livia

    I cannot say anything positive about this pub. The table wasn’t cleared or cleaned, we had to ask the staff to do it. We visited with a large family group. The food arrived at different stages and was cold. My husbands burger was burnt. I asked for a soda & line and it came with Prosecco added in. The restaurant area only had a few tables occupied so it was mostly empty.

    Great atmosphere, good live music. Anna the manager was really welcoming, polite & made sure me and my friends were happy with the food & drinks. If you are passing Clapham I Really recommend you coming to The Goat ! It’s a friendly environment, don’t miss out !!

    The live music was a nice touch on Friday evening, although was a bit too loud to have an easy conversation. The ambience and food was great and the staff were pleasant. You can scan a QR code at the table, which makes things easier if you’re sat upstairs.

  • 4/5 Olcay K. 1 month ago on Google • 38 reviews New
    I liked the interior, live music was really good and fitting for the mood. The kitchen and staff are attentive but can be a bit slow. The food was not bad, however it could be a bit better considering the price. Overall, we enjoyed our night and plan to come again

    Not in a hurry to return, My partner advised against going,she was right I didn't feel comfortable when I arrived, it didn't have a warm welcoming atmosphere like other pubs in the area. My partner and I sat down, the table opposite was empty bottles and glasses, 30minutes after we start down they were still there We got up to leave! Still there 😱 We watched a chef walk around with a burger for 5 minutes not knowing who had placed the order 2 minutes later, the waitress walked around doing the same thing with the burger as well I felt sorry for the person who ordered, what would now be a cold burger Not in a hurry to return

    I'm sorry, this was somewhat of a disappointment for me, having seen previous comments. Okay, so the food was so disgusting that I'm not even going to say much except if you want Road Kill Yorkshire Puds, this the place to go! The vegetables were tough and tasteless. The roast beef appeared to have been hacked into pieces by a demented chef... and it was as tough as old shoe leathers. We were a party of six, and each plate was brought from upstairs one at a time by one waitress, arriving at the table cold. Service...well, the staff appeared to be disinterested, and here I need to remind the reader is that they are working in the hospitality industry...hint, hint guys! Atmosphere...if it wasn't for the company that I was in, I would have been tempted to look for the nearest gas oven. Prices are as what is to be expected... but please, can the manager look at repairing the floor near the bar as one of the staff nearly took a tumble...twice! The ladies' toilets are disgusting, by the way. Don't worry, I won't be coming back!

    I booked a table for dinner for 3 people a week in advance. When we arrived the went upstair to the dining areas were there we some people eating and some tables with reservations on them. There was noone there to meet diners and we had to ask a waitress who directed us down to the end of the bar. It was very busy in the down stairs area, where there were lots of people standing and drinking as you do in a pub. The staff member found the booking and directed us to a table, right inthe middle of the pub surrounded by drinkers. He had to ask the people who were sitting at the table to move off it. We wanted to eat dinner amongst other diners not suround by people standing and drinking. there were loud and roudy, as you might be on the saturday night in a pub. Realy this tble shouldnt be for dinner on a busy night we left very disappointed. i will not be back.

    We reserved the whole top floor for our engagement party & they goat could not have been a better location. Everyone had a great time and the staff were awesome! Thanks guys! ♥️

    Good food! Nice Drinks! I came with my gran and felt like they ignored us for a little bit despite waiting. A bar tender went to serve a couple who just arrived even though we were waiting. Luckily his collegue told him we were next. This is something yo be mindful of especially as it wasn’t busy.

    Lovely pub, love the goat theme but the real GOAT is the young man with the super welcoming attitude Felipe thanks for making my night better 👍

    The Goat hosted our baby shower and were absolutely brilliant - Anna and her team were really helpful and accomodating, nothing was too much trouble and the atmosphere was great. Would definitely recommend hiring their mezzanine for events!

  • 5/5 Cameron R. 1 year ago on Google
    Recently relocated to the area with the wife (originally from Devon), and I like a drink as much as the next guy but was surprised by the hospitality and environment of this pub, which caught me off guard. Drinks were great, once again loved the environment both the design and the staff, especially Felipe who made our visit even better. Will definitely become regulars!

    Ordered some fries, watched as they got delivered to the wrong table, staff had no idea what was going on. Had to follow up with no updates etc. Finally got a serve of fries 45 minutes later and told "sorry the other table ate them". Sorry we're you planning to recover them and then give them to us? Really disappointed.

  • 5/5 Paul S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very interesting pub - actually, more like a bar, as it’s down some steps. Good range of beers, and lots of space. London prices, of course, but definitely a good place to meet. Food looks good too!

  • 1/5 Jimmy G. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately we didn’t have a great experience. We arrived at 2.30pm on Sunday they had run out of roast chicken, sea bass, beef roasts.

  • 5/5 Chris 1 year ago on Google
    Popped in for some drinks and food, chicken schnitzel was amazing and service from Anna was wonderful. I'll definitely be back again!

    Really brilliant pub with a top vibe, went on Friday night and was treated to brilliant live music. Really friendly and attentive bar staff and a nice range of beers, London prices to be expected but the atmosphere made up for it !

  • 5/5 Ese P. 1 year ago on Google
    Really lovely bar! Nice and cosy during the daytime and really good vibes at night with some great live music. I love the cheeseburger they got on the menu too

    Decent bar, beer is good. Service is good. Have to say that the plant burger was one of the best I've ever had!

    Have been to the Goat many times and it’s a definite local gem - great atmosphere, drinks and food and reliably great - which says a lot with so many other pubs nearby. Eunice behind the bar is fantastic!

    The servers were lovely. But the food was dreadful. Only two plates were edible the rest had to be sent back, food was cold and honestly gross. Would have had a better lunch going to Wetherspoons. Definitely avoid unless just coming for a few drinks on a night.
