    Update: Damn! This place is amazing πŸ‘ great food and really reasonable. You must try. They just added chicken katsu to their menu which I never order because its too bland but the chef said this is different amd it really delivers... a little kick, soo good. Pad Thai really tasty. And washed down with my new fave pint of Neck Oil. Really recommend. Original: First time back here in ages, I heard they have new Vietnamese pop up kitchen. The Banh Mi was amazing. Chicken and pork combined. Really fresh, tasty and recommended. I'll be back to try the other dishes - the crispy pork bowl sounds tasty. And a real bonus is that the pub staff were really friendly and it was pleasant atmosphere.

    Only went out for one but the vibe was a bit of me, so stayed for maybe three. If you want a place where the staff have great chat and banter Bar Malden is the place for you. Shout out to Ellen for top service.

    I popped into Bar Malden this afternoon for a quick drink, (I have been there a few times before)and I was pleasantly surprised with all the changes that has been made. Place looked clean and well looked after and there was a lovely fresh bunch of flowers on the bar which smelt amazing and I thought was a nice touch. Dawn, who’s a new manageress, recommended me Mud House wine which I really enjoyed. She’s very friendly and made me feel really welcomed . She told me about her exciting plans for the bar and I’m most definitely looking forward to seeing this place getting back on its feet . I will be visiting again and again !!

    Well hello once more I thought it only fair that I Re- review this place as it has been taken over by a new Guvnor and the difference is striking!! The lady is a fine replacement there have been various renovations done and it made quite a good impression on me on a week day afternoon. The place is far busier than before it has some different lighting etc and serves a reasonable plate of food at great prices. The whole place has a different vibe and a much better atmosphere!! The staff are kind courteous and knowledgeable the place is on a far better level now. Though I never went up the long stairs to the toilets I have it on good advice that they are completely refurbished. I used the downstairs disabled toilet that was clean and perfectly usable. This new landlady is making a great effort here and is worthy of praise looks soon to grab its place back as the go to Pub in new Malden before long. Music sessions on a Sunday afternoon and I think Friday as well. Good disabled access and a warm clean friendly environment, overall a massive improvement especially for younger people at night time weekends. Much deserved praise for a good effort by the Landlady and staff . This pub in my honest opinion is pushing its levels up so it’s an 8.6 from me maybe a touch more x

    Great place under new management (Dawn). The bar has been in Limbo due to previous management/Covid however I feel with her passion and charisma she is turning it back in to an nice local bar making everyone feel welcome with regular Dj nights from Friday through till Sunday. The food is tasty, service is top notch (special note to Ellen), prices are reasonable and friendly crowd. Would definitely recommend going!

    It does the job, and it's handy for New Malden Station, and the staff are pleasant, but it isn't a 'nice' pub. It is loud, and generally sticky and a bit tacky. The drinks and staff can't be faulted, and it isn't violent or anything, so I think it probably deserves 3-stars.

    Quite a disappointing visit on Sunday where I popped in for a drink before meeting friends. Firstly they didn’t have kraken or many rums that were not in stock. I chose to go for jameson with ginger ale. Instead I was given ginger beer and the staff were quite adamant this was ginger ale when it wasn’t and said the two were the same. Bar staff are not knowledgable at all and happy to lie to consumers who are not even giving good service but on the phone and chatting away with the customers. I ended up just giving my drink to one of the customers who was with the staff members chatting and walked out. Staff member was happy to see me go disappointed knowing they did not give me what I asked for. Won’t be visiting this place again and staff really need some learning on what really is a job that does not need a lot of knowledge but customer service and respect which I did not get. Also it states staff wear masks but they do not.

    Nice, simple pub. Wheelchair access and nice staff. Plenty of parking and easy to get to as it's right next to New Malden Station. Standard pub grub, exactly what you'd expect of a modern pub.

  • 5/5 Justin M. 5 months ago on Google
    What can I say last friday you guys smashed it for us. A few of my pals thought you guys where a karaoke bar. On arrival we noticed you guys where not. However what came next was the ultimate surprise. After speaking to a staff member we found out you did indeed do karaoke, 5minutes later it was set up. We bang to sing out hearts out till close, with no request not granted. From elvis to the streets we destroyed ear drums. But thanks to the quick service and clean pints and a great karaoke dj. We had a very random night out partying. We will be back for sure. Thank you

    Got food poisoning from here from the hunters chicken recently, still not fully recovered, looking at it i was disappointing, but I was hungry so I ate it. Friends who I was eating with had a burger and the bun in the middle was rock hard. From pictures I've seen on google their kitchen looks dirty so it doesn't surprise me now and I won't be returning.

  • 4/5 Rob_in J. 1 year ago on Google
    I tried the crispy pork belly. One thing that surprised me was that it was not spicy or strong in flavour at all! I am not sure if it was deliberate but I was expecting something with a bit more impact, I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu.

  • 1/5 Michael F. 1 year ago on Google
    Please either open regularly or close for good. Again arrived around 6pm on a weekday and pub closed. Arrived for the β€˜New Tai’ experience which had just been launched to be told they have gone on holiday. Our town wants you and some have tried to support you but loosing patience.

    A wonderful place to eat and drink that won't cost you the earth. The staff are wonderful and the new manager is amazing, she has really turned this place around. The food is delicious and the entertainment now is fab, with live DJ nights, refurbished toilets and a new dart board. Bar Malden is the hottest place to be right now.

    A massive thank you to Becky and her team at bar Malden for hosting my grandsons 1st birthday party. The buffet was amazing!!! Our friends and family commented on how wonderful the day was. Thank you for looking after us.

  • 5/5 Beckie F. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant place to go have some food or a nice drink. Have been a few times with different groups for gatherings and hve always had excellent time. Staff are lovely. Just be prepared if you have and trouble using stairs that the toilets are upstairs, although there is a disabled toilet on the floor

    Had the Thai burger and it was class. Wouldn’t normally give a review but was pleasantly surprised, much nicer than you’d get in somewhere you’d pay twice the price for a wanky atmosphere. Big fan will be back often

  • 5/5 William M. 1 year ago on Google
    I don't usually give reviews but the asian food is fantastic and incredibly well priced. As are the pints. Plus dart board, would recommend

    Fantastic bar! Great food and really well kept beer! This bar is brilliant! Fantastic standards throughout! I will be coming back regularly!! Edit - the new managers have introduced a fantastic food offer - if you haven't been in a while, give it another go - it's great!

    I was totally delighted to meet the chefs and tasted the most delicious β€˜pot stickers’ and hand made spring rolls that I have not tasted since a trip to Thailand Years ago. Authentic gorgeous food. Lovely staff and genuinely great food and music. Looking forward to taking friends and family there. Brilliant

  • 5/5 Celeste D. 11 months ago on Google β€’ 2 reviews
    I recently had the pleasure of dining at a local pub and was blown away by the exquisite flavors of their menu. We started with the Filo Wrapped Prawn, and I have to say it was one of the most mouth-watering starters I've had in a while. The prawns were perfectly cooked, tender, and juicy, and the filo pastry was so crisp and flaky. The dish was accompanied by a tangy dipping sauce that complemented the delicate prawn flavour so well. Moving on to the mains, I opted for the Phad Thai Chicken Prawns while my partner chose the Vietnamese Sweet and Sour Chicken. Both dishes were absolutely phenomenal. The Phad Thai had the perfect balance of sweet and savoury flavours, and the prawns and chicken were cooked to perfection. The noodles were tender yet still retained their firmness, and the crushed peanuts added a delightful crunch to the dish. My partner's Vietnamese Sweet and Sour Chicken was a pleasant surprise, bursting with an incredible combination of sweet and sour notes. The chicken was perfectly cooked, moist, and tender, and the stir-fried vegetables added a fresh and healthy element to the dish. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the food at this pub. The flavours were exceptional, and the presentation was outstanding. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable, making it an excellent value for money. I would highly recommend the Filo Wrapped Prawn, Phad Thai Chicken Prawns, and the Vietnamese Sweet and Sour Chicken to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Oh, and kudos to Rich, who made our experience even more exemplary. Go see him DJ on Fridays and Saturdays, and have fun!

    The bar serving Vietnamese food is a delightful combination of two worlds. The unique fusion of a bar atmosphere with Vietnamese cuisine creates a memorable experience. The ambiance is likely to be vibrant and inviting, with a mix of traditional and contemporary elements. As for the food, expect a diverse menu featuring flavorful dishes like pho, banh mi, spring rolls, and various noodle and rice dishes. The bar might also offer some creative cocktails, adding an extra dimension to the dining experience.
