    Headed into The Alexander for a cozy pub experience and a roast dinner that I didn't have to cook myself. Young’s pubs have a reputation in London for being top-notch, and this one is impressively large, complete with a sports bar. This means it can get quite busy on football days, but the lively atmosphere is part of the charm. I decided to go for the chef’s roast to get a feel for the overall quality. Unfortunately, they were out of one of the meats, so I chose the slow-roasted lamb shoulder. It was presented well, and the server did a great job explaining the dish. However, I was a bit let down when I found a smaller piece of lamb than expected under the Yorkshire pudding, particularly for a £28 meal. The plate was cold, which didn’t help on a chilly day, causing the gravy and food to cool down too quickly. The lamb had hints of garlic and rosemary but was a bit dry in places. The carrot was cooked perfectly, though the cabbage and celeriac didn’t impress much. The roast potatoes were crisp but lacked flavor, overwhelmed by the oil. The Yorkshire pudding was good, but that's expected. Overall, it's a bit of a roasting, excuse the pun, but I've had better for less recently. Still, the pub’s overall atmosphere and setting are worth a visit. Enjoyed this review? Hit the like button and follow for more honest insights on local spots!

    Came here for Sunday roast after reserving a table through their website. Very nice pub and good food but slightly let down by service. Felt they were understaffed and there was a lot of waiting for someone to take our order, pay the bill etc. The chicken was delicious but the beef wasn't as nice and was chewy.

    We enjoyed a Sunday roast here alongside some IPA’s. Lovely selection of drinks first and foremost. Sometimes having a roast later in the day (say 6pm) is a no-go because lots of pubs leave the food pre-prepared and the elements dry out. However, that wasn’t a problem here. Each element of the roast was fresh and tasty. The meat tender and the roasties crispy (a rare find in a pub!). We enjoyed our few hours here- the atmosphere was calm and relaxed and everyone was friendly!

    Pork belly Sunday roast was delicious, but my pork belly had too much fat and less meat. There was little portion of vegetables, too. Staff are kind. I'd like to visit again.

    The Alexander is quintessential as far as London pubs go. Cosy furnishings making cold days feel like a treat. Pub quiz and a large selection of drinks on offer. Match days are calmer than other but if you're looking for a more energetic vibe just go up the stairs for a more fast paced experience. Short walk from the station and in the time I've been here never a bad experience.

    My first Sunday roast ever. My sister took me here to try a classic 'Sunday roast' and I was not let down. This LARGE plate full of delicious food left me full for the rest of the day (we ate at noon). I got the beef, and my sister had the chicken. I also had a good flat white and small scoop of ice cream for dessert. I would highly recommend.

    Excellent beer. Good outside seating. The unexpected spring shower didn't dampen the customers' enthusiasm

    Good pub and prices. Didn't have food but what I saw looked good. Worth a visit and just down the road from the station. Staff good. Yes I'll go again.

    I went to the Alex to enjoy the champions league football on Sat night, however our evening was ruined by the short black bouncer you had. My friend and I walked out the door holding half finished glasees of beer, the bouncer acknowledged that we were just going for a cigarette and would be back in a moment. When we tried to get back in 3 minutes later we were told it was full and we could not come back in. I did ask where he thought we had bought our beer from, but he was obstinate and rude to us, despite the other bouncer attempting to help us get back in to our friends who were inside. He was rude to us unnecessarily and is a disgrace to his profession. I'm surprised you would employ a dwarf to be on the on the door anyway. We left angry and upset, but had a nice time in the Prince of Wales instead. We will not be back to the Alexandra.

    Went there for their Sunday Roast. The vegetarian roast was nice. One of the nicest vegetarian roasts I've tried. Well- presented with barley and beetroot stuffing. Quite filling as well. My friend had pork jolly and chicken and they were also pleased.

    Visited last Saturday 8th January. We had booking for dinner for 18 people. I would like to thank all the staff for helping to make it a great night. The various food choices were served in good time and were hot and tasty. The bar staff were great and didn't have to wait to get served despite the pub being really busy. Everyone enjoyed the DJ and dancing till late. We will definitely be going again soon 👍.

    Dog friendly pub with lovely staff. One of the best vegan roasts I've had (and there was so much of it!)

    Great pub! Food (I got the fish and chips) was delicious, the decoration was very pleasant and I found out from the local residents that the owner is a great guy who gives a lot back to the community. The pub has various sections to sit depending on what you want to do. For example, there is an room designated for football fans who want to enjoy watching a game without disturbing other customers who want to enjoy a meal and socialise. I fully recommend this place. The service was also good and the staff friendly

    Welcoming, prompt bar service. Good atmosphere, pub packed inside and out on lovely Friday October evening. Glad we booked a table 🙂 Food great. DJ set up in section of pub where we were c.10pm, we departed shortly after purely due to trains (reduced sv) and using venue to catch up, chat 😉. Place appeals to all ages😊

  • 5/5 James S. 2 months ago on Google • 17 reviews New
    Really nice pub! I hadn't been there before and it is a bit far from where I would normally look for a good pub but the Alexandra turned out to be great. The staff were brilliant, the drinks were good and the food was outstanding!

  • 5/5 Nurcan E. 1 month ago on Google • 17 reviews New
    Once we ordered our food and drinks via their app our drinks came very quickly then our food. We couldn’t believe how the service was very quick in a pub even if in a rush hour. The ambiance, food and everything was great! My fav in my local area💙

  • 5/5 Aaron �. 1 year ago on Google • 15 reviews
    Great local pub with a wide selection of tipple to chose from at pretty reasonable prices. Wonderfully friendly staff that always have a smile on their face and are prompt with their service. The food here is really good and the portion sizes will leave you more than satisfied. They have numerous screens all across the pub showing live games that you can view no matter where you’re sat. In summer and during The Tournament it is common to have large groups enjoying their drinks outside and it makes for a very festive environment.

  • 5/5 Sam M. 4 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Loved our time here. We asked to be put in front of a screen for the football and were. The staff were excellent, young lad behind the bar was very nice to our group. Great selection of beers. Food was delicious especially ssg and mash. One feedback was sticky toffee pudding should have had more sauce. But great experience would recommend.

  • 5/5 Sophie M. 1 month ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    Fantastic roast beef dinner. Was hot, fresh and very very tasty! Roast potatoes were also top tier crispy roasties!

  • 5/5 Lisa B. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Larisa was amazing both with confirming the booking & her personal service on the day. Her attentiveness to our needs, ensuring we all got what we ordered, the service & quality of the the drinks & food was 5 🌟. As a group of 11, she was not fazed in the slightest & made sure we had a most enjoyable experience.

  • 5/5 Jane P. 1 month ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    I love visiting the loft in summer and booked an indoor table on Friday night. Really great venue, very friendly staff and very crisp fish and chips (just the way I like them). Would visit again.

  • 5/5 D T. 4 months ago on Google
    Great pub! Really good beer selection and great service. Food is excellent too - well beyond what you’d find in a regular pub. Staff are really friendly - especially @Emma! And Upstairs is amazing in summer - great atmosphere!

  • 5/5 Sumeet D. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful interiors, transforms you from all Hip surroundings to a different world. Their food is amazing and soo are the drinks. Simply loved it. Soo much liked it that went back again next day

  • 2/5 Marie T. 1 year ago on Google
    Really disappointed about the vegan option here the “plant burger” for £16.50 I expected at least a beyond burger or moving mountains burger style. But it came as those deep fried frozen vegetable style burgers that you get from Morley’s or a cheap chicken shop. It was like a greasy £3 burger but charged almost 17 quid for it. Way overpriced and not very tasty. You could offer so many better vegan/vegetarian pub style options like sausage and mash, chilli, tacos, beyond burger, pie etc. Won’t eat here again unless something new on the menu. The meat eaters I was with said the steak was small and not worth it either. My boyfriend used to love the Fabio’s special hot sauce/wings here but maybe there’s been a change of cook since then. He said the burger used to be better too.

  • 5/5 Ellie R. 1 year ago on Google
    I often go to the Alex for a couple of drinks with friends and it is such a lovely vibe in there. The loft area especially feels really cozy and inviting with outside heating for when it is colder. The staff are always amazing and friendly and last time we were served by Sophie and she went out of her way to make sure we had a good experience. Would definitely recommend!!

  • 5/5 William M. 1 year ago on Google
    Easily one of the top 10 pubs in London - there’s something for everyone, whether it’s food, sport, roof terrace, a dance on a Friday or Saturday night, or simply a quiet pint or two. The different sections mean one doesn’t intrude on the other. Bar staff and locals are friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you haven’t already.

  • 5/5 Chloe P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great staff. Great drinks. And a beautiful atmosphere no matter the occasion.

  • 4/5 Phil S. 6 years ago on Google
    This is a little hidden gem in wimbledon for drinks 🍹 and relax but wouldn't really recommend for food. Service: 4 stars Ambience: 5 star Food: 1 stars

  • 5/5 Amy B. 4 months ago on Google
    This is such a great pub! Whether you are after a couple of quiet drinks after work, a night out, or a Sunday roast - it caters for everything. Great selection of beers, delicious food and a friendly atmosphere. The staff are super helpful, particularly Emma who was an absolute delight. Can’t recommend this pub enough!

  • 5/5 Dylan F. 4 months ago on Google
    Lovely pub close to the station, warm and inviting and will have a variety of sports on throughout the day, can get busy over the weekend but show me a decent pub that doesn't. Also has a great rooftop bar and restaurant, easy to get drinks and a table but worth booking in advance as it is popular. A regular for me throughout my time in London.

  • 5/5 SU T. 4 months ago on Google
    We had battered fish and chips , steak for lunch a few weeks ago. The battered fish and chips were tasty and crispy. Was persuaded to have a medium rare steak as I always prefer well cooked. I was pleasantly surprised, so juicy and tender, will go for it again. The staff are pleasant and friendly, it is a really nice and cosy place to eat and chat.

  • 4/5 Debora De f. 3 months ago on Google New
    Pre ordered our Christmas food as we was a big party. It was very easy to do online! Everything came out promptly and correct! Everyone was quite happy with their food and everything tasted great. The roast potatoes were just a little on the dry side. Our waitress Kira was FANTASTIC! She was great with us and the babies! I would return here for food and drinks!

  • 5/5 Angela G. 3 months ago on Google New
    Thank you to landlord, Mick and landlady, Sarah plus all the volunteers, organizations and businesses that contributed to put on such a special Christmas Day 🎄. Opening up your beautiful, homely and comfortable pub to serve people delicious homemade food, tasty beverages, delicious deserts and to get card and a present touched my heart and helped me immensely during a very difficult time of year. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming 🎅🏻. I didn’t feel any awkwardness or embarrassment or worse for me, pity. Felt jovial and relaxed. Was sitting with a lovely bunch of people and we all got on so well. It brought tears to my eyes when l read about what The Alex was doing. I will always remember this day and am grateful from the bottom of my heart ⭐️. A million thanks.

  • 5/5 Harry B. 4 months ago on Google
    We had a fantastic Sunday roast yesterday. I went for the special with Lamb, Pork and Beef. Wow, I'm still full today! The children's roasts were fantastic too. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, nothing was too much. Thanks! x

  • 5/5 Thom H. 4 months ago on Google
    Absolutely love this pub. We live miles away, but well worth the extra effort to get there. Big group of us went today including kids, all very well looked after. Staff always go above and beyond (my 2 year old daughter today "I love Nobby", the absolute hero who served us), great options on food and drinks, hands down the best roast going, lively atmosphere, what else could you want from a pub?

  • 5/5 Tom M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere with a good selection of drinks and friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend for a drink after work with friends if you are in Wimbledon. Outside seating is next to a road, however, so don't expect a quiet garden.

  • 5/5 Teresa P. 2 years ago on Google
    The best pub in London, with fantastic food and wonderful owners, strongly recommend. Great atmosphere let me feel real joy of Christmas:)

  • 4/5 The Wanton D. 2 years ago on Google
    Good range of drinks (including non-alcoholic). Order at table service is great. Didn't try tht food but the menu looked great. Good atmosphere although the music was too loud to hold a conversation at times.

  • 5/5 Gemma B. 2 years ago on Google
    Happy place: As the sun sets on the outside area. Perfect place in Wimbledon to meet friends and have great food along with perfect table service from all staff. They go above and beyond ;) Tasty lamb and rhubarb scotch egg. X

  • 5/5 Onyeka O. 2 years ago on Google
    Hidden gem in the heart of Wimbledon high street. We passed it completely by chance and ended up being amazed by the roof terrace and the views of the high street. Ordered a cool spin on G&T with Prosecco thrown in and the halloumi fries are a must

  • 4/5 Ben M. 2 years ago on Google
    Being a Youngs pub, The Alex is of course expensive. Pricey to the point where I have had to double-take when told the price of my order. However, the pub itself, the staff and the atmosphere were all really great, even on a busy Saturday night.

  • 1/5 Glynis D. 1 year ago on Google
    I went for Sunday lunch at 2.30. on the 3rd of April The table was small and draughty. there was a large group on the next table noisy and standing about .talking very loud. the food was disappointing and we could not converse due to the noise. There was at one time 18 people there as they kept coming and going. and I wonder how many they had booked for. Surely if you book a table in the restaurant area they should all be seated.. I have now tested positive for covid and as I have been nowhere else for the last 10 days can only think I caught it there. Will not be returning

  • 4/5 Diego M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very busy pub, nice space closer to the back. Good beers, but just the usual suspects. Nothing to sing about.

  • 5/5 Moji D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very lively and friendly gastro-pub. Perfect for casual drinks by their terrace illuminated with fairy-lights. Tasty and strong cocktails!

  • 3/5 Eloise C. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited the Alex for our weekly Sunday roast. The roast was good. The staff behind the bar were really friendly. I would have rated it 4/5 stars however the only thing letting it down was the gap between the starter and main course (roughly 45 mins).

  • 5/5 Gio L. 1 year ago on Google
    There are many great pubs in Wimbledon, but this is the best or one of the top picks for most of the people. I prefer the Loft in the first floor in the evening in all four seasons of the year. It is lively in Summer with open space, and it becomes a warm and cozy cabin in Winter. Good beer selection and cocktails - just like other pubs in the vicinity. But for some reason this always feels like the right place for some reason.

  • 5/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely space, great selection of drinks and food, perfect service. Love this place..

  • 5/5 Anthony 2 years ago on Google
    Really good pub, nipped in last couple of Wednesday's for some lunch. Service has always been fantastic with friendly staff. There's plenty of outside tables which get the sun (and also in the shade if needed). Food great quality and huge drinks selection. Place has a great atmosphere. Also it looks like they will go out their way to get you a table even without booking which is a big plus. Going to start making this my local.

  • 5/5 SARAH W. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely bar with inside & outdoor seating. Great service & delicious cocktails

  • 5/5 Andy B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice Pub to visit, good selection of drinks. Recommend booking a table if you want to visit.

  • 5/5 Jan J. 1 year ago on Google
    Upstairs is very nice setting inside and outside. Usually went for drinks only but had burger last night “The Alex” - just great. Super tasty. You need the young’s app the order but they also do table service. No ordering at the bar which is a bit of a faff but also means no queuing :)

  • 5/5 James B. 2 years ago on Google
    Best pub in Wimbledon. Socially conscious, great staff and service, good selection of food and drink.

  • 5/5 Martin R. 1 year ago on Google
    We went for Sunday Lunch last week and had a great meal. Couldn't get a table at first but Lizzie sorted us out! She looked after us all afternoon despite the place being fairly busy. Top spot, top staff!

  • 5/5 Serge T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local pub! It gets a little busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Sunday was a little quieter and we managed to get a table and try their beef roast, which was fantastic! Definitely recommend!

  • 4/5 Anita S. 1 year ago on Google
    Attended a joint leaving do here back in February, from the outside it looked nice but small but it was really nice and spacious inside. It was my first time here but I really enjoyed it, the staff were really friendly. The only downside was that some of our reserved tables were being used so quite a few of us had to stand for a while and the drinks were expensive, but I would happily go there again.

  • 5/5 Michael K. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice combination of outside outside, outside inside and inside inside space! A good selection of drinks including a range of beers and cocktails. Bar snacks and food was good.

  • 5/5 Anne L. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice local bar. Only annoying thing is that it's often full so it tends to be a victim of its own success. Book to avoid disappointment. But the staff is lovely and even if you show up without a booking they'll do their absolute best to accommodate you.

  • 5/5 Richard B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a lovely open area above the street. Service is fantastic, even provided some sun tan lotion, which is a must as its lovely and sunny up there. Food is good pub food. I had the burger which was delicious. Looks like it gets very busy from 4pm onwards so best to reserve a table.

  • 5/5 naama k. 2 years ago on Google
    I enjoyed sitting at the Loft with my friends, a lovely place, good #vegan #Plant Based options; 3 burgers and fries. As the manue upstairs is limited, I was delighted to see that those options are there. Service was friendly and quick. Need to reserve a place, ask for the rooftop :)

  • 5/5 Nath S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cool place. Great atmosphere and good selection of drinks. Staff were really friendly.

  • 5/5 Enrico S. 1 year ago on Google
    To say that the place is beautiful would be an understatement. Sure it's not cheap, but it's worth every penny. Excellent food, very nice staff. And I can't wait to be there after a Wimbledon match to discuss it with the owner...

  • 5/5 jolanta k. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Amazing food. Full of flavours, perfectly cooked. The best roast dinner we’ve had in Wimbledon. Place is very busy but atmosphere is still very friendly and kind of relaxed. Service is amazing. We felt really well looked after. It was our third time to have the roast in this place and I’m sure we will be coming back.

  • 5/5 darren h. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Best local community countryside feel pub in London. Stopped off here after a good walk on Wimbledon Common, and got a table by a proper fire in a cozy warm corner of this pub. Good selection of on tap beers/ales, wines and spirits. Great tasty menu as well. And to finish it off, a mixed selection of good sport, and not just football. I like this local, I will be coming back.

  • 5/5 Elisa S. 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    great lunch for 14 friends, The Alexandra set our table beautifully for the festive season Friendsmas. Relaxed atmosphere, welcoming warm pub, no loud music so we could chat to each other. Very good Sunday menu, everything was cooked well and was served at the same time to all guests at the table. We all enjoyed ourselves, great service from staff
