Althorp

The location of this handsome neighbourhood pub is a real draw, its garden and window seating looking out over pretty Wandsworth Common. It's in a picturesque part of Wandsworth too, taking up a corner slot where Althorp Road and Bellevue Road meet. 

A range of food menus offer dishes ranging from poshed-up pub classics to gastropub fare. Expect dishes such as fish and chips with pea purée and tartar sauce or chicken caeser salad with bacon and anchovies alongside shredded duck with poached pear, walnut salad and a stilton dressing, or Atlantic cod with chorizo, tomatoes, crushed potatoes and French beans. Sunday roasts look good.

The wine list features a good number by the glass, and ventures well into worlds old and new. Ale hounds can sup on a range of drops by the pump and the bottle, served alongside mainstream lagers, ciders and bitters.
