Great to see a pub like this in Highgate. They serve up to 8 ales although they were a couple…read moreshort, which is probably standard for a Sunday. I had the Anchor Blonde Bitter which was a seriously good pint and Siren Serenity of the Sky (not sure what is behind the name) which was a good mild. My friends ordered some chips but actually received cheese and horseradish chips. This turned up to be an accidental upgrade which the staff later acknowledged and even apologised for (there was no need!) There is a sports TV at the back, which can easily be avoided at the front. I really rather like the place!

Fabulous pub. I only give it four stars due to it being tough to find a seat most of the time,…read morebecause the beer and staff would definitely get five stars all the way. You have a very large selection of craft beers and lagers, a bit of something for everyone. The bar staff are quite happy to give you a taste of something before buying or give their own recommendations based on what type of drink you prefer. It's a pleasant atmosphere, with locals mixing in with the craft beer crowd.

Had a good, short visit here at the end of January. There's a decent number of real ales on (and…read moreits craft range probably matches that). You'll likely pay premium for the stronger ABVs so be warned. There was a DJ on but not at a level to make talking a drama and we found seats easily enough as it wasn't rammed full although it's obviously (& rightly) a popular haunt. By the looks of things I'd be giving it four stars if I'd eaten there but that'll have to wait for another time.

Quiet pub down the road from Clapham high street. On a Tuesday it is not very crowded and there's…read morelots of space to sit. The music was just David Bowie when I went as it was only days after his passing. There was a decent selection of drinks and in terms of food there seemed to be different kinds of cheese based finger food. I believe they had a specific cheese based pop up residency this month so that may vary according to the time you visit. I did like the atmosphere but I think it will be better in summer when you can also sit outside. If you want to avoid the crowds in the main Clapham bars it's a good one to look out for.

A great pub six mins walk from Clapham Common tube. Potential for a few tables of Aussies to be…read morescattered around because #clapham = #aussiesinlondon. The beverage lineup here is excellent, full of craft beers- tap and bottles, and they do the good old popular London tap take over thing. Their wine list isn't too shabby either- we had options that were better than the standard pub slosh that you're usually subjected to. So big ticks all round for the booze department. Food wise, they had a kitchen take over from the cheese truck when I was there. A LOT of cheese. Not many healthy options but filling and satisfying after an afternoon on the sauce (alcohol). The pub itself has many tables and isn't really a stand up type pub but there are corners and bar spots that you can lurch around. The decor is homely in a cool way then finished off with a beautiful copper looking top: nice. Staff seem super chilled. Sunday sessionable to the max.

However, this place is so popular you'll need to book in advance, which they make very easy for you to do on their website. It seems that if you haven't booked for game day, you'll be standing. (They have a very classy, user-friendly website as well.) I also hear it's a great place to host parties. Although there is no party room, there are some great corners with couches for hosting large groups. I've never done it but others have told me it's a great place for such events. Hmmm....I just read on here that they have Red Stripe on tap, so I must return...and soon!

To be honest, I don't see what all the fuss is about, unless you're football mad, there's not much going on here. As for the food, I recently tried the steak here, one of the pricier items on the menu and this was average at best. There's certainly room for improvement on the menu, but most come to drink, not quite in the same league as 'The Stonhouse' (clapham common) or 'The Avalon' (clapham south). Would not eat here again unless I had to.

Whelp, this isn't exactly cozy, but at least it's got some history behind it, and decent beers on tap. And I was craving a sausage roll and this place certainly delivered a delicious one!

A gem! A high end, fine dining establishment- once upon a time it was a pub, but now it is most…read moredefinitely a restaurant and don't wander in expecting a pint of lager and a packet of pork scratchings. The dinner menu ( at £70/person) includes three courses appropriate to the season ( three or four choices per course). The wine list is robust, and includes a good selection of wine by the glass . While none of it is cheap, there is a lot of art in the food. If I had one small gripe, it would be that the experience is a little on the slow side- dinner was a three hour affair- on the other hand you don't really want to be swilling back your Pomerol as though it were a supermarket Beaujolais on a Friday night.

The lunch started with some parmesan shortbread and truffle cream with chervil. Also Irish soda bread for the table (in house made and delicious). For starters we all went for the charred mackerel, radish, ginger and champagne. Super tasty, one of the best meaty mackerel I have had in a while and the sauce was super fragrant. For mains, I went for the middle white pork (very creative and delicious) and my family went for the Hake and lime sauce (well cooked fish!). And for desserts we all went for the chamomile and apple creme brulee. Sooo goood! Overall the food is classic Irish with a twist! I would highly recommend it for a special occasion

I have had my bag stolen here but I guess like anywhere in London you have to be always be alert. The Metropolitan is an unpretentious pub- a rarity for this trendy area of West London

It gets busy even on the weekday evenings, with people grabbing a post work drink, or some really good pub food. The sausage and mash is great, and perfect for a cold winters day. I like the large ceilings and the relaxed atmosphere of this traditional looking place. It looks out onto the street corner too, so its nice to look out at the people and cars. I like doing wherever I am, so its not a comment on the environment as such. There are some great draft beers available too!

I cannot speak more highly of the Jolly Woodman. I understand that it is under new management…read morewithin the last few months, so any of the old "appalling" reviews should not be taken to heart. In fact, here are three reasons why the Jolly Woodman is a must-stop on your visit to the UK... 1. The staff Most nights our waiter was Oli. He is probably the sweetest kid we've ever met. Very easy to talk too, great recommendations and super accommodating to anything we asked for. On the nights he wasn't working, we genuinely missed him. On the second night we visited, we met the manager, Matt, and he's a truly genuine guy. Matt is the kind of guy who would literally give you the shirt off of his back. You can tell he really loves the restaurant with the stories he tells about the history of it (ask him about the tunnel if you visit!). He gave us a ton of recommendations of places to visit while we were in the UK and they were all spot on. His knowledge of the food and beer is extensive. We looked forward to catching up with him each night that we went in. We also met the head chef, Stuart, on our second night and he's one of a kind. He's also a Michelin star chef, but NBD. This man is passionate about his food, so much so that he brought out samples of what he was working on for us to try and it was all AMAZING. It was a one of a kind experience that you simply wouldn't get here in the states. If you have the chance to visit he Jolly Woodman and try his food - do it. You will not regret it. 2. The atmosphere Look at my pictures. Could this place be any cuter? It's a truly unique location with more history than you can imagine. 3. The food Alright, let's get down to brass tacks. The woodman has HANDS DOWN the best fish and chips I've ever had. The serving is huge, so I recommend fasting before you get there (really). Trust me, it will be worth it. I cannot do it justice writing about it - just go and try it. I also had a cheeseburger and the cheesecake for dessert and they were both spectacular. You cannot go wrong here. They also have a phenomenal beer selection. My recommendation: Sit at the bar, have a chat and a drink with the locals, you won't regret it.

The food is good - slightly pricey for a pub but okay and they serve real ale too.
