    Where to start? Arrived at 9pm on Tuesday to have a dessert with a friend. I ordered a gingerbread muffin. Yes it arrived still in packaging - no plate or cutlery - (see photos) and freezing cold. I was hoping for a warm gingerbread dessert. My friend ordered cookie dough sandwich with ice cream which arrived frozen solid. She ordered a hot chocolate with a chocolate stick. She was told to get her drink from a self service machine and there was no stick or cream. When we complained, they refunded £1.06! I ordered a blood orange drink and I got the wrong drink too. I couldn't be bothered to complain as many other customers were complaining.

    Great little pub. Went for St. Patrick's Day. You can order through an app and they deliver it to your table. Nice atmosphere. The restrooms are quite tiny. Basically a closet with a toilet and an automatic sink that gives you zero time to wash with the soap before it dispenses the water.

    I've lived in tooting for 24 years and not been to this one until Friday, once, a while back i stepped in and about 10 old men stared at us so walked out, this time same happened but us 4 women just walked past and sat down the back near toilets, the air con fans were not on so was very hot, that was down point, bottomless coffee was a real bonus and the food wasn't bad, we had peninis and chips, the menu choice isn't as big as Wimbledon but it's reasonable and I can't fault the elderly men in there as it's so much more affordable so good for them. Certainly worth a visit on a budget and don't worry about the men they all sit at the front anyway and don't bother you.

    Staff are nice and helpful. Food could have been a little better as the food was not hot and it looked a bit tired as the beans looked as if they had been there a while. It still is value for money but I can't but think it could be presented a little better and warmer so sorry to be critical.

    Very cheap, literally less than half the price of nearby places, but that causes it to be busy and overcrowded. 3 x 1/3 pints for £2.10 during a real ale festival.Bottemless hot drinks about £1. Seems a little seedy due to all day drinker regulars, but not so bad. Great choice of beers. Pub is long and narrow, a shame it's not bigger.Toilets a bit small and airless. Best at off peak times. Opposite the tube station. Residents parking until 530 Mon-Sat

    A narrow and nice atmosphere Spoons. I had a craft beer bottle on offer for £1.50. I August 2023, which is tbh, unheard of.

  • 5/5 Mark G. 5 months ago on Google • 116 reviews
    Another fantastic Spoons with a great range of drinks at generally excellent prices (and even premium spirits are cheaper than other pubs and bars). Good food too but portions are getting smaller so now more like a snack than a meal.

    Utterly abysmal bar service. Walked in to bar. One person just finished being served, a second lady waiting then me. Ten minutes later the lady ahead of me gave up waiting and walked out in disgust. Eventually the bar staff took my order for two drinks. One was poured and then they went and served somebody else in the middle of serving me! I waited patiently but then they poured yet another drink for somebody else! At this point I walked out 15 minutes after walking into the place leaving the one served drink on the bar. I doubt they even noticed. Unlikely to revisit anytime soon. BTW IT WAS NOT BUSY SO THERE WAS NO EXCUSE!!!

    This is our local down the road from us. The staff here are always lovely, friendly and very helpful! The manager is a lovely gentleman as well and always attending to the customers, making sure everyone is served and happy. The food and drinks are good and it is definitely well managed! It does get very busy here, and they can do with more bar and floor staff because a customer can see them overworked and overwhelmed at times.

    Loved here base on 1 thing LOVELY STAFF Thanks 🙏

  • 5/5 Jacqui K. 3 months ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Super small pub just opp. The Tooting Broadway tube station. There is an ebb and flow to the busy times. Reasonably priced pub food, it ain't gourmet! , but it is hot and served fast and well priced. Wish it was bigger. Service with a smile is sadly seriously missing - if you don't like people, why work in a pub!!!

  • 5/5 Katie 4 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Only problem was that it was packed. We'll, that may not be a bad thing really. Atmosphere was buzzing, staff friendly and service quick. My food was delicious Just over £11 for fish and chips plus a bottle of cider

  • 2/5 Chi T. 2 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Vegetarian breakfast with missing egg and a disappointing English breakfast. Won’t be back anytime soon.

  • 3/5 Mike W. 5 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Usually call in here after shopping and waiting for wife. Half five on a Thursday evening and there's what looks like a tramp with a security tag on the door. Wouldn't let me in as I was carrying a rucksack full of food and wine for dinner!!!! Had to check the specials at Tooting market. Same price without the boozer aroma and they threw in popcorn.

    the service was atrocious. the member of bar staff who served us was awful, she was so miserable and blunt that it spoiled the experience for me and my family. security falsely accused us of vaping in the pub. we were looking forward to a few drinks but left after the first one.

  • 3/5 Tom J. 10 months ago on Google
    I'd struggle to say this is anywhere near the best Wetherspoon that I've been in. The pub is very small, with only a single line of tables down a corridor at its smallest, whilst the front does open up on a nice day to give the feeling of more space, the claustrophobic feel isn't lessened by much. One perk of the smaller nature of this pub is that you'll not be waiting long for food or drink, which, being a spoons, is very cheap, and generally pretty good.

  • 5/5 Mohebur R. 3 months ago on Google New
    Nice and cosy, prices very decent 👌

  • 5/5 abby r. 1 year ago on Google
    My friend and I often visit the tooting branch for breakfast. We particularly enjoy the breakfast cooked by Remi, who is our favourite chef. She always ensures the breakfast is cooked to perfection and plated neatly. The Manager also cooks a lovely breakfast!

  • 4/5 Lal S. 9 months ago on Google
    Good counter services, table always available to sit, fair crowd, toilet has a scope to improve, being in front of Tooting Broadway station, easy to reach by train or bus. Prices lower than other Wetherspoon bar locations. Saturday/Sunday crowd enjoyable.

  • 3/5 John W. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a Weatherspoons. At the time I was in it, early afternoon, the crowd was mostly pensioners nursing a pint of cheap beer to break up their day. There's nothing wrong with the Weatherspoons formula. You get cheap drink (two pints of Carlsberg for £4.58 is stunning value), reasonable food at keen prices, no music...but there's so many of them that they all merge into one. But that's the problem with all chain pubs, restaurants, etc. Call it the MacDonaldisation of the public house. And it you don't like it you can pay twice as much for a pint in the nearby Gastropubs. Fast service as well.

    Good location, just in front of tooting Broadway station. good selection of beer, and reasonably priced. Waiters are polite.

  • 5/5 Roger W. H. 1 year ago on Google
    Just yer average J D Wetherspoon. If you are having an MRI scan in St George's Hospital this is the ideal place to wait between injection and scan.

  • 2/5 Leanne M. 1 year ago on Google
    My least favourite Wetherspoons I've been to. Very tiny & only go here for a quick bite to eat. I don't enjoy sitting in here tbh. Food is as expected & ok for a quick bite

  • 5/5 Anonymous 1 year ago on Google
    Together with the H. Wells in Woking and Coronation Hall in Surbiton, these are the 3 better Wetherspoons pubs within a 25 mile radius. Hats off to the H. Wells in Woking for their cider range.

  • 5/5 The W. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely little pub with a mixture of booths and high and low tables. Pub was clean and tidy throughout and the Staff were friendly. Glass and mirrors give the illusion of natural light. The Guinness was very good.

  • 5/5 Polly G. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff very friendly place nice and clean. I had a full breakfast it perfectly cooked my only one criticism would be I would of liked an extra sausage instead of one.

  • 4/5 Donna K. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheap and cheerful pub. Friendly staff and quick service. It was super busy when we visited, lots of locals and everyone was friendly.

  • 2/5 Richard L. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a standard Whetherspoons, same decor, same menu, same crowd in any other corner of the UK. However, this one gets BUSY. With a capital B. It's not the hugest venue but it really does get crowded. While I'm normally a fan of the Google live busy-ness information, I would take it with a sackful of salt here. Even mid afternoon when it says it's not that busy, you can struggle to sit down, so goodness knows what it's like when Google says it's busy! If the price of a pint is a little inconsequential to your evening out with friends then by all means there are other good pubs and bars in the area. If you are a Whetherspoons loyalist, loving the £2.40 a pint of Doombar or whatever then you will be happy here as you would be anywhere else-assuming you can get a table...

    This was my first time visiting and the food was beautiful I got a all day breakfast and drink. The sausages were absolutely amazing. I was sitting on table 41 and I was ask by the security officers if I had wrote on the table, I said no. I thought it was very strange anyway someone had scapped the word JAM, I told the security officers no it was not me, as I am 42 year old woman who is a carer, I did tell the security officers to look at the two cameras near me then they will see its not me who damaged their table. I am 42 years old mixed race woman and some of the local said it is because I look about 19 or 20 years ago and not to worry take it as a compliment. All I wanted to eat and have one drink as I had a day free to myself. I did complain to the staff and I was told that there are people who have vandalise the pub toilets. I think it is a big disgrace for people to vandalise the pub or anything else that is not there's. When I left I did talk to the security officer and he did apologised to me. I apologise to the security officer too because I thought he was being racist and single me out, because off the way they approached me when I was sitting down eating my food. This pub is lovely and the staff and locals are nice they talked to me and made me feel welcome. God bless everyone.
