Fox & Hounds in Wandsworth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely roast but cake-like Yorkshire Pudding was a bit odd!

Lovely pub, excellent food and super friendly staff. Well worth a detour.

General very nice food indeed Fresh and properly cooked

We went to the F&H for a celebratory dinner and it was perfect. The sharing paella was incredible and complimented by a great wine list. The garden was glorious and the staff were super attentive.

Great local pub. Friendly staff and the roast beef was one of the better ones I’ve had

Great venue, wonderful friendly service and delicious food with generous portions. A very enjoyable evening!

The staff was friendly, we were tucked away in a corner from the main room. Food was decent, the roast beef was tender. Good pudding. A little pricey for what it was. Not too bad, but pints were a little more than most. I'd still return. The vegetarian, vegan options are a bit limited.

The Fox & Hounds was a real surprise. I have lived up the road for 30 years and had never been there. The pub is lovely, it has not been over-styled. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The menus has a good choice and the food was delicious! I would recommend very highly!

Had a really nice with friends last night. Staff very attentive especially the manager and the food was delicious. Good value (but I had just returned from travelling through Italy and France!

Service was attentive and food was superb!! Location and atmosphere was just what we were looking for since we had a 4yr old with us.

All was absolutely fantastic...terrific food, great atmosphere, really nice staff; an all round really good night until the stroppy cow of a manager (?) came up to me in an overly zealous manner to tell me to "keep my dog on a lead". Bearing in mind my JRT had been sitting on my lap all night and was only on the floor for a minute or two so I could say goodbye to my friends, I thought it was totally unnecessary, as did my friends. I wonder if she is equally as unaccepting of parents with their children who are generally FAR worse??? Only reason I didn't give 5 stars.

It is a sad fact that in recent years I have had increasingly few occasions to without fault, all out eulogise about a dining experience. So....oh the joy. The unbridled joy to without reservation both eulogise and find zero fault with my fortuitous booking at the Fox and Hounds this evening. Firstly, why fortuitous? I'm local and have been to the F&H before. Vowed never to go again but laziness won the day and I walked the 3 mins to give it another go Secondly, why the joy? I spent childhood summers at my grandparents house in a rural Spanish village called Jesus Pobre. An area where a new born child goes straight from breast to paella. The paella I had this evening was akin to any of those I had as a child in JP. Thirdly, why the unbridled joy? Two words. The staff. Professional, helpful and polite all qualities one hopes for but should never expect from a high end food focused pub. The staff in the F&H were so professional, so helpful, so polite but above all of that and singularly the main reason why I will be returning again and again is how naturally charming they all were. The tip culture in the US so often sees charm replaced by obsequious, the service included trend we have in the UK so often sees no charm at all. So not the case here.

Popped in for a spot of lunch with my daughter. Had a burger and pint. The burger was awesome. Thanks to Jamie. It was top class. Will be back soon. Very soon...maybe tomorrow.

The best local pub in London. Always busy and buzzing and just generally excellent.

Great atmosphere for sports. Loads of TVs, great beer and lovely staff. Handsome Zac in particular made our day. His smile can light up a room. A very dark room

We love fox and hounds. Will be back again in the future.

FANTASTIC FOOD. The loveliest and sweetest (Irish) waitress! Love this place and will bring my parents back here as they loved it too!

Despite having given advance notice on the booking form and confirmed by a follow up phone call that I made of the food allergies of one of our party they were unprepared and it was a lot of effort to get a meal that was ok for them to eat. Once that had been sorted then food was good but I was expecting them to be more helpful with that issue considering they knew we were coming well in advance.

Never disappointed, always a good dinner out at the Fox and Hounds

A lovely convivial pub and staff with tasty food.

Lovely garden and good food. Really lovely staff, especially the young Irish woman - so friendly, warm and patient!

Food is good but overall food and drinks prices are way to high.

Family meal with super friendly service and fresh, tasty food. Great wine and beer selection. Thanks Anne for taking such great care of us despite being run off your feet!

Nice food and atmosphere. Service is efficient and friendly. Good range of beers on tap.

The food was good but it arrived cold. Service was really slow and we had to chase up to pay the bill ourselves.

Really Nice evening ! Very good.

Didn’t feel quite award winning, but good food and lovely service.

Raw lamb which was tough, all a bit school dinners

Very good value lunch. Pub was vibrant and busy. Staff friendly, good selection of beers. Can’t really ask for much more than that.

Lovely pub, lovely people, great food.

Has this place changed hands or manager in the last year? It used to be one of my absolute favourites but in my last three visits I’ve had a really uncharacteristically odd and bad experience. 1) We went in the late summer last year and ordered the steak - which I have many times and has always been very good. We were served two steaks that openly (not sensationalising) were past their best. It had been the heat wave for the few days previous and this led me to believe refrigeration has been an issue. We sent them back and were refunded but no one came to apologise or speak to us. I was about to do so myself when there was a car crash outside - quite a bad one. So we left to allow the staff to deal with that. After this experience I avoided going for a couple of months but did want to return due to being a favourite. 2) not as bad but I went mid week and most of the beers were out of stock. 3) I went last week and the Guinness had been connected to the wrong gas, my pint was freezing, and the head massive. The chap at the bar was nice tried to correct it by pouring it out but once Guinness is over gassed you cannot serve it - my pint was flat and freezing so I left it. Posting this mainly so the owner can see as it was our local but currently going elsewhere. It is an expensive pub and the last three visits have not been inline with those prices.

What a fabulous London pub! The atmosphere was really quaint. The table was pokey but ok for 3. Our meals were delicious and the roast beef was absolutely divine and the best roast I’ve ever had (sorry mum)! The pasta was nice and the beef burger was great. The staff were attentive and lovely and the background music was great too. I would highly recommend this place for a drink or a meal.

Great Sunday roast, loved the roast beef and chocolate cake! Really friendly staff, definitely recommend

Good beer selection, spacious venue, friendly staff, and a beautifully maintained beer garden.

No vegetarian options on main course. Sunday beef very tough. Usually love F&H but not a great food experience this time unfortunately!

In my opinion the best pub in London! Just gets everything right, and it's always busy but not packed, with a great atmosphere, excellent staff, lovely menu, great beers and wine list, and good music playing (not too loudly). The dream, basically!

Wonderful Sunday roast, we hadn't been to this pub before and would definitely recommend!

Great service and atmosphere. We shared a couple of 1kg T bones which were lovely. Been coming here for 20 years and it's still going strong.

Delicious as always and great local Battersea pub.

I had the pumpkin risotto and it was sensational.

We booked for an early Sunday evening meal on the way back from a show in London. From the moment we walked in we had a lovely time. We were immediately greeted by a very friendly member of staff and although we were quite early for our table they moved things around and seated us. We both had a delicious roast. Absolutely perfect and then shared a very yummy sticky toffee pudding.

We were greeted and given a choice of table. It was a Saturday evening and busy so it was noisy though the woman in charge did try to cater for that. She was really helpful. We both ate simple, good quality pasta dishes and had a glass of house red too. It was fine for after the cinema!

While anti fox hunting myself, this is one establishment my political ideals won’t stop me from attending. Really delicious menu with seasonal variation (vegetarians will get a bit tired of the risotto / lack of rotation on the alternative dietary front) - great service and a nice atmosphere in the evenings. Tucked away off a main road, really a pleasant surprise with a heated garden that allows big groups to spread out and catch up. A local gem!

The Fox and Hounds Clapham Junction The first thing to note is the chef has a visceral hatred of vegetarians and takes pride in this prejudice by creating menus that are lumpish and unimaginative. This is not a place where chef cherishes good traditional values, it’s more a place chef is stuck in his abrasive, curmudgeonly ways. It is neither fish nor fowl, neither a pub or a restaurant. As a restaurant the atmosphere is soulless and desperate. The dead hand of the restaurant’s miserable menu pushes down and suffocates the place of all life, and empties your wallet at the same time. The overpriced drinks just reinforce the falseness of the place. On offer is pasteurised, mega brewery homogenised ‘craft beers’ and a wine list that pretends to Wine Society quality, it is not, it’s overpriced plonk. It’s not really a pub either, gastro or otherwise. Drinking in the place is more a prison sentence than a nice pint in the local. You’d have more fun sitting in a vandalised bus shelter drinking a can of Stella. The reputations of London gastropubs are made by the chefs, who are quite happy to put their names out there. The chef at The Fox & Hounds doesn’t have the courage to put his name to his miserable menu. His secretiveness is intellectually dishonest. I asked the manager who the chef was and they piously told me “We can’t give out staff names because of data protection” (Huh?) I think the owners of the pub are trying to create some ersatz Bullingdon Club dining experience, and who doesn’t want to be part of the Bullingdon Club what with those foppish outfits and all? The idea the menu is ‘Mediterranean inspired’ is daft but sadly a testament to the chef’s paucity of imagination. The food is soup with meat, fish with meat, meat with meat and the frankly done to death ‘sticky toffee pudding’ (probably containing gelatin) The menu has eight mains of which one is vegetarian, that cliched favourite of tokenism, risotto. Where is the varied and delicious selection of vegetable and fish dishes that underpin a Mediterranean diet? This menu is more an 18th century Chop House than a diet for long life. The place is a throwback to the 1950s, it’s the Nigel Farage of gastro pubs. And the place certainly lives up to its name, the Fox and Hounds - the unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible.

We had an amazing Sunday lunch here. The staff were very welcoming, exceptionally helpful and the food was delicious. Highly recommended.

Lovely family meal. Couldn’t fault anything. Service was great and the food was beautiful. Many Thanks to the Fox and Hounds

Incredible food and amazing service! Lovely Christmas atmosphere.

Warm welcome from the bar staff , extensive menu reasonably priced and the service was exemplary - a thoroughly enjoyable experience !.

Cute pub, with outdoor garden & nice vibe inside. Sunday roast was good but have had better in London. Would definitely go back for drinks!

Food/staff/atmosphere all great, had a really good afternoon.

Always fantastic! Great food and service from very attentive staff

Really good Mediterranean food and friendly service.

Really disappointing. Flat pints and was charged service on a bowl of chips (without being told service was included or given a printed bill). When I asked for a bill because I was so confused about how expensive it was, they gave me a copy of the drinks ticket (no prices).

This is a fantastic, friendly 'local' in a quiet area away from the Clapham Junction crowds. Very cosy, well decorated with lots of fairy lights, classic movie-set type xmas feel for our December visit. Great buzzy atmosphere without being too noisy. The staff were super helpful moving our table to one we preferred (and that would allow us to stay a little longer than booked, on a busy wednesday night). We live locally and love coming here. Also has a fab beer garden for long summer afternoons. Come here to leave your phone in your bag, enjoy good conversation, and eat v tasty food in a relaxed, cosy classic pub atmosphere. Perfect for nights out with friends, family and date-night.

Lovely pub serving a great Italian menu atvan affordable price

Just a really good pub, food, service, Christmas lights.

Good, varied menu and tasty food. Very attentive service and food came quickly

Just sell people a Yorkshire pudding with a roast as an extra. So weirdly militant.

Outstanding across the board. An absolute benchmark for how a pub should be run. Will be back very soon...with more bodies :-)

Highly recommend!! A great all round experience from the food, drinks, flexibility (we were a late booking with a 1-year old in prime Sunday roast time) and the service - this particularly was a breath of fresh air with staff that actually seemed to care. Looking forward to returning again soon.

Never can go wrong here. Been coming for years and never disappoints. Food always good, although the menu could change a little more as I’ve been eating much the same for the last 5/8 years! But a lovely atmosphere. Staff always super friendly and efficient and always try and accommodate you even if you walk in without a booking. Although would recommend booking any time of the week as it’s a very popular and busy pub! Always a good choice with friends and or family.

A popular neighborhood pub with superb service and a hearty yet well put together menu, reasonably priced with sensible portions. The wine list organised by country and region is a thoughtful one pager, designed not to overwhelm but to give a range of food pairings some choice. Clean, welcoming of pet dogs and humming nicely when I visited. The perfect gastro pub.

Excellent food - really awesome pasta. Would recommend!

Smart street-corner pub about 10 minutes walk from Clapham Junction Station. Two cask beers on handpump when I visited. Lots of outdoor seating in the garden to the rear most of it covered. I was only visiting for a pint before a show at the Battersea Arts Centre but the pub offers an interesting Mediterranean influenced menu. Friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely neighborhood pub! Food is good and atmosphere is lovely. We love to come here for a relaxing evening of great food and drinks!

Excellent staff and great service - good food too

The Fox and Hounds is a nice, traditional pub with a dark interior and lots of random framed posters. It offers a good range of beers, wines, spirits and cocktails. It has a reasonable dinner menu and the food is very good - so much so that I'd call it a gastropub. Service is nice and friendly. Recommended. 😀 This is my second visit but for some reason Google has removed my previous review in 2022.

This is my local and I can't say often enough how lucky I am to have such a fabulous place just down the road. The staff are always welcoming and friendly, but also efficient and hard working. The food is fabulous - really tasty and fresh and the wine list interesting and well priced. Dogs are welcome, as are people who just fancy a drink. It has a lovely atmosphere and is always clean and tidy.

Lovely pub with very friendly and helpful staff. Great atmosphere, the food is very good and the wine list is pretty decent

Lovely cute pub tucked away in Putney. Nice wine list even for wines by the glass, and good food selection. V cosy with candles and nice ambiance.

Hobs weren’t working so we couldn’t have food. We were not told about this till 10 minutes after we sat down even though it was an issue all day long. Couldn’t have dinner and ruined our evening

Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and good food

Fantastic local pub with a great selection of drinks and a bold, Mediterranean inspired menu that makes for a welcome change from the usual British pub classics. The VIBE is resoundingly warm & local, perhaps helped by a more traditional exterior that wards off snobs. The beer garden is a tranquil retreat and there are many nooks and crannies around the pub where you can post up for a private chat. The FOOD is great and the menu is well thought out. Light bites, hearty meals and sharing platters all feature as well as a nice ever-changing selection of cheeses. The SERVICE is great but perhaps a little slow, although I think that's all part of the charm. This isn't a pub that's churning out the vodka soda limes to a charged up crowd, it's a nice local haunt that wouldn't be out of place in the countryside.

Went for a roast, really nice pub and service was fab. Great food - the only thing would be that the potatoes were very dry and hard so left them all.

We love the fox and hounds and the food is so so good every time we go. We all had roasts and they were excellent. My only negative is that the plates were cold so by the time the food was bought to our table it was already only luke warm at a push. One of our table sent his back to be a bit warmer but the rest of us didn’t. The roast was still very very good but just a shame that they were almost cold when we got them. The staff are so lovely and would recommend this pub to everyone, especially for their delicious roast.

One of the best roast we've ever had ! Generous portions, tasty, cosy

Popped in for a few drinks and was once again very impressed..Great value and staff were brilliant. They go above and beyond....will be going again very soon

Family meal, good food and great service. Nice old Victorian pub with a nice courtyard garden at the rear. Not much free parking around the pub on Mondays to Fridays, but plenty at the weekend.

Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and excellent food and good value for money. Well worth a visit and free parking nearby ✅

Great pub! Sun was out in full as well, so we had to go in the garden is soak it all up! My go to, when in the area!

Excellent service and food. A real must visit for those looking for top rate pub grub.

Lovely local pub with brilliant food and friendly staff

Always a great meal when we come here. We are often with our dog and little son and the staff are always very friendly.

Great food, with a lovely garden that is deceptively large.

Cute beer garden, out the back, and friendly staff. An elevated ‘local’.

3.75 out of 5. Good local feeling pub with better than average food. A little light on cask ale selections. Plenty of draft lagers. Bangers and mash were good and used a tasty Italian sausage. Beef ragu and pappardelle was tasty, more beef stew taste than tomato taste. Service is good, chatty bartenders and the atmosphere is brighter than traditional pubs. Beer garden out back.

Very nice restaurant, really friendly staff with very good atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit..

Excellent pub in Clapham, with fantastic food and a great selection of booze to choose from. However, the best thing about it for me is the garden - one of the best I've ever been to in London in terms of atmosphere. You might not immediately think so when visiting, but the size of it, combined with the lush planting and the nice evening lighting, makes it feel like you're on holiday during hot summer evenings.

Incredible staff, fantastic food

One of the best hidden gems of south London. Great food in a relaxed with a very interesting history. Highly recommended.

Great place to eat. Friendly atmosphere. Great service.

Friendly service, though a bit stretched when we were there on Sunday afternoon. Variety of beers on tap and nice wine list and cocktails though we did not try. Cocktails at £12.50 a bit pricey. Quality ingredients in roast (pork) and seafood paella. Both tasty and good portions. Prices for mains over £22 - ok value in terms of quality though “gastropub” prices not fully matched in terms of vibe by the atmosphere and service.

Ordered a tomato juice with Worcester sauce on a hot afternoon. Refreshing. Friendly welcome and a few local beers, some from Brixton as I recall. Popular with locals I'd imagine

Great food and friendly service. Would highly recommend.

Food was delicious, atmosphere was great, and service was fantastic

Rude and unfriendly staff. Prices are steep. 2 drinks for £20 is a bit excessive for a pub.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Lovely food and the restaurant is beautiful

Not the best value for money. Food quality wasn’t great
