Graveney and Meadow in Newham

Under staffed and staffed by underskilled. Waited 12 minutes to be server in a bar with 10 people in, while 2 or the 3 people working, collected glasses. Only then to be told that we were waiting at the wrong part of the unmarked and unattended bar. There are many more friendlier and more attractive venues to frequent in Tooting. Try the Castle or Cocktails in the Broadway Market for a friendly smile and helpful, attentive staff.

Celebrated my birthday at Graveney and Meadow. The staff were very accommodating especially as we were quite a large group. The live music was fantastic too! Couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate and be with friends.

We spent an evening here with a mixture of time spent inside and in the garden. Really comfortable bar with restaurant. Lovely polite staff behind the bar. Friday 18th was my friends birthday, they had a good time…like sitting in your front room…. Lots of room and convenient place to meet friends in Tooting Broadway. Lots of Buses and underground trains.

Incredible chips to go alongside a good spread of drinks. Really reasonably priced and really large seating area inside and out. Good for summer or winter.

Never have encountered so rude owner, for someone to be at the front of a catering Probably the site felt on his lap from Dady The staff keep changed, a sign of horrible boss Good luck to every one who's ventured there

Usually love this pub in normal times but went a few weeks ago and it was absolutely freezing. I literally stayed 45 mins and left. When I asked why they didn’t have heaters they said they would need 50! My response was so... if you want people to stay in the facility and carry on buying drinks you need make it suitable for people to stay so surely worth buying the heaters?? Right? I think their just being stingy to be honest and missing a trick. Not all the tables have shelter for the rain either so it’s not a good place to go until we can sit inside and even then if you want more people at your pub get some heaters!!!!

I visited with a friend here back in December. Management were so rude, we were minding our own business when out of nowhere the manager told we had to leave as we had drunk to much?!? We asked what had we done but there was no answer. Very arrogant lady manager who was clearly trying to prove some point which was embarrassing and cringe worthy. Would never set foot in the place again. Upon reading the comments on trip advisor looks like we are not the only ones to receive bad service

We had such a lovely time in your beer garden this evening. Staff were great and good humoured, service was so quick at times we had only just paid and our drinks were bought out. They are handling the new challenges of being open during a pandemic very well. Thanks for having us!

First time here for evening drinks. The staff is very friendly and everything worked very well. Good location and really spacious place.

I went in for coffee at lunchtime. As it happened, I was sitting next to their toilets, and I did think there was a slight funny smell. The lady who took me my coffee said it was the toilets - which if anything made it worse! I later sat somewhere else so I didn't get the smell. However, I did have occasion to use the toilet afterwards and someone kindly opened the disabled one for me, and I could certainly get the smell there. Also the tap didn't work and there was no soup or dryer. Whether the ordinary toilets were different I don't know. The coffee was very small for £2.30, compared to what I get elsewhere, e.g. the Peabody cafes in St George's Hospital, and was very cold when it came so I complained and was given a bigger one at an acceptable temperature. On the credit side they were very good about bringing my coffee over for me, and about replacing it, but I have to say it wasn't their good day.

Me and my partner came on our night off work for a nice drink and atmosphere. On first glance the bar seemed lacking but hearing of the garden we were thrilled on the sunny day. Instead the garden lacks charm and character, the space could be utilised so much better and the mood gets lost in the vast space. Little disappointed but not disheartened

I have been here twice, once for drinks in the sun in the outdoor area and once for a weekend brunch. I like the place and the outdoor area is large. The reason I’ve given a 3 is that when we came for drinks a not-so-sober bloke somehow got in with a crate of beer and was hassling us to buy it off him, before moving on to hassle other people. It went on for a long time but staff didn’t seem to notice so in the end someone had to go and tell them. When I came for brunch, the food was really tasty and prices are quite standard, but the portions are very small compared to other places. Staff are good, and I appreciated that. Would I go back? For drinks, yes. To eat? I don’t think so as it’s not great value for money.

I met a friend here for a drink last night and, because I got out of work early, I treated myself to a hot drink and cake in the garden. Then I moved inside to wait for my friend with beers when it got darker and cooler. I've never had a bad experience in here. Staff are always friendly and helpful when I visit. And for last night it served my cafe and pub needs under one roof (so to speak).

Came for my wife’s birthday on a sunny Saturday afternoon and thought it might be a fantastic venue for a few drinks and a good catch up! How wrong were we!Two staff members behind the bar on a Saturday afternoon who didn’t care at all. All our friends mentioned how long it took to get a drink. Ordered food (a burger) and wrongly assumed it came with fries, of course it doesn’t. Barman forgot to put through food so that took longer. Not good service at all for a large neighbourhood pub. There’s far better in Tooting!! Avoid this one.

We used to like this pub until tonight. The pub wasn't at full capacity and wouldn't let us in despite half our party having drinks. There are pubs nearby that are a lot more worth your time such as the castle and the antelope. This place is completely over rated - wouldn't waste your time.

We are locals to this pub and used to visit regularly. Until we were declined access due to full capacity even though they were numerous amount of seats. Our friends had bought us drinks inside and they had to leave the drinks inside after buying them. Tbey still would not let us in despite people leaving the bar. The bouncers were very rude to us and then alerted the bar next door who also wouldn't let us in.. which ruined our night. I would not go there again.

Never go horrible door staff very disappointed and half our group had to leave 4 drinks inside because half weren't let in BAD DO NOT GO

Have eaten here a few times and was so impressed that I booked a leaving party for a good friend and work colleague. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating, in all 10 of us descended upon them. It was a busy Friday night; the staff weren't fazed one bit. When it came time to eat... the food was superb. Chef Pete and his team certainly know what they are doing. It was Absolutely Fab. so much so, I have booked another party for September.

En el verano la Graveney han comenzado haciendo una barbacoa, no siendo carnívoros, yo estaba un poco dudoso, pero habiendo tenido un montón de hamburguesas halloumi en el pasado que estaban por debajo (tos tos es muy). Sin embargo me quedé impresionado por lo bien que esta hamburguesa con hongos Portobello en era. El vestidor era excelente y fue un buen bloque de halloumi en lugar de una hoja delgada de afeitar. Tan bueno que no necesitamos patatas fritas y el resto de mi grupo de acuerdo.

Very good food, the full English breakfast is a must have! The ambient is very classic, and the staff are very friendly!

I had enjoyed an average Full English Breakfast, unfortunately some items on the plate like the sausage and scramble eggs were not hot enough. And I was really disappointed with the scramble eggs quality.

Really friendly staff and place. The service is very fast and the food is good. They have different options for vegetarians. They also have biscuits for dogs :)

The Graveney and Meadow suffers a little I think because of an identity crisis. The fact that it serves the best breakfast/brunch in Tooting does not pull custom away from local cafes because too many people cannot imagine a perfectly cooked vegetarian breakfast accompanied by delicious coffee or tea (green, black you name it) served loose leaf in a pot (I did not think you could get a proper pot of tea in London any more) served in a ....pub. But that’s what you get here. And it’s not just the veggie breakfast but the other options too. Why not five stars? Service a little erratic and I am not sure about the junk yard furniture. Definitely number 1 in Tooting as a cafe though .. in a pub.

We loved this restaurant so much we came back everyday of our trip! (Only two days... but still.) The food could not be better and the service is excellent. I wish I could eat here everyday! The lunch special is an especially good deal. (A meal and a pint for 12 Euro)

We always love to stop off for a nightcap at the Graveney and Meadow. Just round the corner from Tooting Broadway, it's a shabby-chic pub with great local craft beer, lovely wine, and a solid food menu. Brunch is a highlight, as is the atmosphere on a busy night. Great staff too!

The place is simple and straightforward, producing decent food. Service is always good, making this a favourite.

Simple menu done really well. The best coffee in tooting. There's not point brunching elsewhere. Staff are really friendly and there's often live music. We love this place!

Huge pub, so great to find a little spot to study in or accommodate big groups. Good menu offering a nice selection. Decent range of drinks.

No tienen realmente nada malo que decir sobre este lugar, cerveza a un precio razonable, buena comida y decoración interesante de la vieja escuela y muebles. Mis únicas quejas son el jardín de la cerveza en la parte trasera, la cual es enorme que podríamos hacer mucho más. Este lugar es essentialy compitiendo con el Castillo así que debe gastar un poco de dinero haciendo música, las condiciones de un fin de semana deja mucho que desear cada vez que he estado allí.

Llegamos tarde para una cena y fue bienvenido! Chef no podría haber sido más amable, teniendo en cuenta que era el final de su turno! Me encanta este pub como siempre hay mucho espacio para moverse con mucha variedad: dentro, fuera o en el bar. Comida y cerveza como siempre impecables. Maravilloso pub para relajarse con mucha clientela local.

Este es uno de los pubs más amable de Yo lo intentaría. Gran servicio y precios razonables. ! Gran jardín exterior y buena comida.

Vine aquí para el almuerzo. Esperamos 30 minutos para dos bebidas para llegar incorrecta y no hay señales de la otra. Entonces esperamos otros 15 minutos para que esto sea corregido y finalmente conseguir la segunda copa. La comida llegó después de unos 45 a 50 minutos y una comida estaba helada. Preguntamos cómo otras mesas la comida era - notablemente las mesas grandes pero no nosotros. Servicio absolutamente horrible!

Typical of the Antic pubs, this place has an industrial feel. Don't be put off; just head through the bar into the eating area and find a table without a wobbly chair.The brunch menu is straightforward with a great choice to suit all tastes. We decided on one Eggs Benedict and one Field Mushrooms on toast (with braised leeks, poached eggs and watercress - delicious). Service is understated, but you get exactly what you want.Definitely give this one a try for brunch. You may well be surprised how pleased you will be.

Visited Graveney & Meadows with my boyfriend for brunch on Saturday. The seating area was lovely and we were warmly welcomed by the staff. The place was a nice level of busy.I had a mushroom and toasted sourdough dish with a cappuccino which was delicious. Our server (a Spanish lady - sorry we didn't get her name) was super friendly and just the right amount of attentive. The experience overall was really lovely - clearly they've put a lot of work into getting their food service right. I would be happy to go back!

The graveney and meadow is really getting itself together. After a couple of years of excellent food but sloppy and slow service, it's really pulling it's thumb out. The food is excellent...eggs benedict particularly is spot on. The manager is very present and involved and the staff seem to be responding well to this. They are very friendly and welcoming and I love the atmosphere on a weekend lunchtime. Keep it up!

Came here with my friends for Brunch on a Sunday. I had mushrooms on toast with a huge amount of chorizo, not that I was complaining! Lovely selection of food and good quality! We did wait a little too long for our meals, but this is to be expected on a Sunday morning. Since then I have been back for a drink with my boyfriend. Nice atmosphere and reasonably priced.

Very cosy atmosphere, highly recommend the veggie breakfast. I haven't had any alcoholic bevs here but the coffee is good. Perhaps I only noticed because I've been there at quiet times but the staff seemed a little too relaxed with each other, not very professional. What I assume to be the manager was very uptight with her staff, I didn't really appreciate feeling that tension as a customer but overall not a bad place to relax for a while.

It's 7.30pm on a Saturday night and this place is dead. It might be because they have no card machines working so the bar is cash only, or because it's freezing cold. The staff don't seem to mind as they're milling around chatting, not being quick to notice the customers waiting to be served. No where near the professionalism of the staff at The Antelope, which is pretty much next door. My red wine was a 125ml instead of the advertised 175ml, and I've just been charged £8.70 for a double gin and tonic, and they only use nasty Britvic instead of a premium product like Fentimans, which is what I would expect for more than the price they serve cocktails at. All in all, I can understand why it's not packed with locals when most of the other pubs nearby are.

Great musicGood beer selection Read many reviews about seating .... if you don't like the seating style go to Wetherspoons !Perfect for a quiet drink ( haven't been here when busy .... yet)I manage restaurants and have to say this may well be my favourite pub in london. I love it !✌️

I spent an evening in G&M when I locked myself out of my flat and it was a very welcome refuge! I've since chosen it as a good place for an informal business meeting, and it seemed to go down very well.It's London prices, so don't expect much change. Quirkily decorated (but not too quirky) with an interesting selection of seats, it does a pretty good wine list and a pretty good beer list too. And the food (I had hummus) was good if, again, a little on the expensive side.

Nestled close to Tooting Broadway tube station and 15mins from Tooting rail station. The pub is busy but never overtly so and a large garden that plays host to Tootopia and Tootmas (pop up food stalls etc). The Graveney does a nice brunch, is weirdly eclectic in style (it looks like a mixture of your great aunts odds and ends!) Some of the seats are uncomfortable yes and it misses a certain vibe but non the less worthy of a beer and a bite to eat.

I go to The Graveney and Meadow all the time but clearly not on a Friday night. Arrived last night for drinks after dinner with a friend.3 security guards stood between us and the door. One asked for ID. When I asked what they wanted, they responded something that proves who you are. I asked why and was told it was their policy. As I don't make a habit of carrying my passport when I'm having a night out in my local area we left.Interestingly we walked to The Antelope which is also owned by Antic and they had 2 charming door staff who opened the door for us.Tooting has enough nice bars to not need to drink in an ID only place.

So I have been here before in the past not expecting much; typical Sunday at one of the many run-of-the-mill brunch spots in Tooting. Much to my surprise I was embraced with a friendly and outgoing staff; the food was wonderful, the service was quick and efficient and all of the staff were friendly and accommodating. There were a array of events going on in the back of the restaurant as well. All-in-all it was a fantastic experience and I shall be returning to show this place off to friends and family. Keep up the great work Graveney!:)

Went in for a coffee and a place to catch up on some admin. Coffee £2.40 came with four rough style white sugar cubes. Nice touch but not requested, used them anyway! Little odd that the coffee came in an old school cafeteria drinking glass, therefore no handle and no double wall insulation. However, we're all grown ups and can see a hot, welcome, cafe latte for the tasty treat it is. G&M welcomes dogs and a pug and a terrier were having a lovely elevenses, G&M treat included. Seating in the front part limited to chairs and recycled cinema seats. I would be cautious to bring anyone with mobilty issues as the seating lacks choice; prefer some well upholstered, firm sofas with solid ''lauch yourself up' arms. Bright, upbeat soundtrack, good sound level as it did not compete with conversations. G&M a useful place to duck into in the cold and rain.

When I lived in Tooting I loved this place. Today I went back for the first time in 2 years for brunch. We were 6 adults and 5 kids. The venue is still fairly pleasant, although the whole mismatched furniture thing is not as much of a feature as it was a few years ago. The food was poor though. Three people ordered toast and two of them were burned. Not just a little but properly black. How could someone serve that?? Another person's sausage was raw and pink. My full English was OK - but for £10 (not inc coffee) I would expect more. No hash browns, small portions, no bread or toast included, eggs totally overcooked with solid yolks. Plates were cold, so the breakfast got cold almost immediately too. Service very slow when we asked for coffee. When we asked for hot milk it didn't arrive and even when we went to ask again it took 15 mins, by which time the coffee was cold!All very disappointing and shows they are not making the effort. None of us will be back.

I really want to like this place but it's just not up to scratch.I've been here plenty of times for a drink and it does the job as a nice location to meet friends with a spacious beer garden that's particularly great during the summer months. That's where the compliments end.I had brunch here with a substantial group of people and I have to stay the experience was beyond disappointing. I heard great things so I was looking forward to it but the whole service was disjointed, badly managed and indifferent.As a large table I know it's a bit of pain during a busy service but this was just poor. The food came out 1 or 2 dishes at a time over the space of 40 mins which is ridiculous. The first served had long finished but everyone had their meal.Dishes were incorrect and lukewarm (obviously left on the pass for too long).The servers didn't appear to care or try to make it better.The food was even that good but I couldn't give an objective opinion on that because I was so sour from how our service was handled.I'll definitely be back for a drink but brunching elsewhere.

Very varied brunch menu Opted for the full English which was superbThey even offered to swap any ingredient we didn't want for another one. The sausages were amazong

Delicious weekend brunch. Really generous portions. Great coffee and very chilled atmosphere. Love the old theatre chairs.

The only place I really go to for a drink. The service is really good. Good seating and a great atmosphere to be in.

I live in Tooting and often go for brunch in Mud and Brickwood but we decided to mix it up this weekend and try somewhere new! Went to the Graveney and Meadow as their menu looked pretty good, and it's my favourite pub in Tooting. The brunch was alright but I would probably choose going to specific brunch places over a pub for brunch, the service was pretty slow - our food didn't come out for quite a while. The eggs florentine I had was nice but quite bland and the side of smashed avocado I asked for never arrived, my friend asked for smashed avocado and toast and had quite a small portion of avocado.Had to keep going in to fill up our water glasses from the dispenser as well which wasn't ideal, but for a pub, it was quite good... But maybe better for their evening meals, that menu looked fab and definitely want to go back to try that but may not be back for brunch.

Me and my boyfriend moved in together in Tooting Broadway and since then we have been coming pretty much every weekend to Graveney & Meadow - he loves Spanish eggs and I love the Eggs Benedict, rich in flavour and ingredients.Also, few weekend ago they cooked some Barbecue Bits and we have ordered chicken kebab with onion and apricots - it was delicious! It is definitely a place that I would consider if you fancy a relaxing tasty brunch in Tooting Broadway!

Food was lovely and served very quickly. The only slight complaint from my friend was that her latte was small.

Average brunch costs and quality. Nice setting, service okay. Serve brunch until 4pm which is good for the late weekend risers.

We have been here a few times and menu is interesting and lots of space for buggies/walking around.They were quite busy today and we came in at 1130 for brunch. It took them 15 minutes to take our order. 45 minutes later and no updates or explanations, we still did not have any food. It would have been nice if they told us that because they were busy, food will take longer. Nothing. In fact, I felt they were avoiding eye contact with me because they know that I would ask about our food. It was past my daughter's nap time and the staff can't tell us when the food is coming out. They just kept saying, we're very busy but it will only be minutes before you food arrives.We decided to leave and I asked to speak to the manager. There was no manager on duty. That explains things. The supervisor heard my moan and just said oh sorry that happened. I said that's it, that's how you treat a customer? He said what more can I do?The staff need proper training on customer service. They look and act like they were volunteers.

Yesterday me and a friend went to G&M for Brunch. We both got Eggs Benedict and a side of avocado. The dish was well presented and reasonably priced. The eggs were done just the way I like it. The staff were friendly and checked on us periodically if we needed anything. Would go again for brunch and try something else on the interesting brunch menu.

I have been coming to the graveney and meadow since it opened and it can be a bit hit and miss. However, the last couple of brunch visits I have been very impressed...service was great and very friendly , fabulous eggs Benedict that I dream about and reasonably priced. Perfect for families or people with young children as there is also so much space. Competition is increasing all the time in tooting but if you want to avoid the queues and prices of Mud and Brickwood you could do a lot worse than the Graveney. Keep it up...it was the slack staffing that has let it down before but I think this has been noted and acted upon.

After a night out on the town me and a few friends ( one of them was a hipster) went in search of a good fry up. We sat down a bit fuzzier than normal and the waitress came over and offered us coffee strait away. Result! breakfast ordered they came out really quick and it hit the spot. The Price was OK to

Tends to be packed with Tooting's new hipsters, yummy mummy's & yuppie types. But that's what happens when you go from "edgy and urban" to having articles in the FT's property section in the space of a few years. Took two thirds of the dustbin lids here for brunch. I ordered the Spanish baked eggs which were excellent. Big chunks of chorizo all ever so slightly burnt into the dish with loads of bread to mop up the sauce. Boy number one had the English breakfast with he wolfed down. The girl had Eggs Benedict. I found them a little bland but she, again, scoffed the lot. A coffee, tea, orange juice and water all for £30 is great value.

The Graveney and Meadow Tooting branch is one of those places that leaves you astounded that it is actually still trading. That bad. Staff are bleary eyed zombies trying to sell the leftovers of a badly stocked menu. When they actually remember you're still waiting to be served. No Risotto left, no Sunday Roast at all, no dessert either and the burger resembles an oil slick coupled with a piece of shoe leather. Tooting is on the up with many more fine and infinitely better establishments. The Graveney and Meadow is not one of those.

Been here for a few times now for Sunday brunch. The food is good and it great and they had the festival with the food truck on the back yard. Lots of choice for good foodThe place is huge and got a funny feeling of emptiness as the tables are very spread out.

nice visit on a saturday morning. not many nice brunch spots in tooting broadway. food was ok but service was great.

Went with a friend for afternoon coffee, my cup was chipped ! and coffee cold. Floors, tables and doors very sticky, also bar area looked like it needed a good bleach

Guys!! What happened?!?Had some friends down, and had been raving on about how good the brunch was and general greatness of this place but.....20 minute wait for hot drinks?!50 minute wait for food, and when some of it came out it was wrong?!?It seemed like there were a few problems in this day, but were very apologetic and full refund given.Been to this place so so many times and it's always been excellent, it has the best and most consistent eggs benny in all of London! You let us down, but we will be back, everyone has a bad day, just might not be able to convince our friends of your greatness.....

Utilitarian decor, scruffy but not chic. Drinks were okay and staff chirpy, welcoming and helpful. But the tables were sticky and overall the place needs a good clean. Not a great experience and not one I'll be rushing to repeat.

No decent beer on draft/cask, okay selection of bottled beer. Sat down for food, burger and chips came in a reasonable time but was covered in more salt than I would normally consume in a week. Staff seemend uninterested that food was poor and automatically offered refund. Promptly left and will not be returning.

We recently visited for breakfast. The meals were delicious. It was just what we needed to kick-start our weekend. Coffee was superb - a proper flat white. Relaxed place with a good vibe.

Was really disappointed with brunch here on Bank Holiday Monday. We arrived and the place wasn't packed and we were told (after 2 of us had ordered and paid already) there was a 45 min wait for food, we were meeting friends so we ordered and sat down and said we'd wait. an hour and 15 minutes later my food arrived, with the poached eggs rock hard so they took the whole ting back (without and apology) and came back out with it a few minutes later and thankfully ti was cooked properly as I was starving at this point! It was an hour later when myself and my friend both realised that neither of us had gotten haloumi with our veggie breakfast - i think we were too hungry to realise at the time! So a very expensive beans, egg, toast and mushroom. Oh and the coffee machine was broken and when my friends joined us after an hour they refused to take their food order, so they had to sneak in starbucks. Would not recommend, which is a shame because the place is really nice and music was good.

We went to Graveney and Meadow for Sunday breakfast. The staff were friendly and polite but barely competent. Although there was only one other table occupied - and we had only ordered variations on poached eggs - it took 45 minutes to get our food. The food was excellent but we couldn't enjoy it, as by this time one of us was late for an appointment. They are obviously at the forefront of the slow food revolution. We won't be returning.

Visited this establishment on 2 occasions, once for drinks and the next morning for some breakfast with some hungry furniture movers...Quirky location, good service from friendly staff....great breakfasts, lots of space. Décor is a hodge podge of visual stimulants, but overall good place to sit down and relax.

Having lived in tooting for the past two years, I've visited Graveney & Meadow at least 5 times as the food can be great. However, I seem to come away annoyed every time. The service is awful every time I go - the staff clearly don't want to be there and it's obvious they have had no training as shown by plates being scraped clean at my table space, right under my nose. I've also sat in there for 2 hours over brunch before as there is no system to the service. The venue is great and has so much potential but it seems confused as to whether it's a cafe/bar/club/trendy brunch place. The "toast your own" idea doesn't really work either. Who wants to be stood over at the toaster whilst their breakfast (which you've probably waited 40mins for) gets cold on their table? Such a shame as it could be so good and looks great with the new refurb.

Visited regularly for the last two years, always especially enjoyed the coffee (which they get from Volcano in West Norwood) and cakes! Nice, friendly atmosphere. Very relaxed.

Great place for an all-day brekkie, which can be hard to find in London and as an Aussie very important! So much space, I've never not been seated straight away. Tapas and cocktails are also great, just be prepared for a slightly more pricey night out, as the brekkie is fairly well-priced in comparison. Also have been here to work on my laptop, so the wifi is another great pull, as well as the various different seating areas. Will be back again soon!

We came to stay with Friends in Tooting for the night, our friends made a big thing about taking us to this wonderful place for breakfast/brunch. Awesome, I can't wait. Or should I say, I can wait, I can wait and watch my friends eat their breakfast, while I wait for mine to arrive, 30 min later.My breakfast arrived, for £9.50 for a full english, I was expecting so much more. I did not want a full English breakfast, but they had run out off french toast apparently. Now correct me if I am wrong, but my full English had an egg on it, and bread. So what are you missing to make french toast?The staff, looked like they had been out the night before, got proper messed up, then crawled into work, not one person looked like they wanted to be there. No one apologised that my breakfast arrived 30 min after my friends, even though they put my plate down and taken away my friends dirty plates.This left my friends, who are regular customers, very embarrassed that they had put faith in this place, and it did nothing but disappoint. I know I will not be paying a visit again. Sort your staff out, if they don't want to be there, sack them and get people in that want the job.

Came here for a family get together. The place is spacious and comfortable. Lots of food to choose from. Excellent food and good portions. Staff are friendly. This pub is dog friendly and is usually full of mums and babies during the day.

Me and a few friends go here for brunch quite regularly. The baked goods are delicious and the cooked breakfasts are too - with generous portion sizes to boot. The coffee is yummy.The venue is huge with plenty of room for buggies and tables aren't too close together.Staff always make you feel nice and welcome though sometimes getting attention at the bar is a bit of a mission.Will no doubt be there again soon!

This is a great, quirky place for a few drinks. We haven't eaten a meal here but have sampled from the bakery and it's all been very good. There are always a few good ales on and some interesting cocktails. A great addition to the drinking scene in Tooting.

Excellent breakfast/brunch food very fresh and unlimited toast. Coffee also excellent although a bigger mug required

Part of, and in common with the Antic chain of pubs and eateries that pepper South London's suburbs, this place is odd, but not in a particularly endearing or eccentric manner. I came in this morning for a coffee only as Subway's machine wasn't working. I had trouble gauging whether this place is pub, bar, cafe, or a creche. First impressions weren't great as the lights were all turned off and the place seemed like it wasn't open. A slew of mums with pushchairs then entered and headed for the back of the venue. Decor is the now becoming rather over-used "shabby-chic" popular in Shoreditch and surrounds. Chairs and tables are wobbly. Coffee was admittedly good. In summary this place just seems a mess, with an identity crisis.

The decor and different themes of this large space are ideal for anybody, even those with children. The food is good, tasty and brunch options are simple but cater for all. Coffee was cold and seemed slow with mistakes, the staff shouldn't be afraid to use notepads if they want to - It's not a sign of weakness.

Came here with a friend. The house Wine was nice. We decided to share 3 for £12 small plates. Interesting selection BUT We had battered frankfurter with BBQ sauce/NOT great. A mackerel in polenta/ NOT great and some focaccia bread/ probably the best of the bunch! Nice pub but not sure id eat here again.

Been here for brunch on a couple of occasions, not too impressed but tried to give it another chance each time. Service can be quite slow and abrupt at times but nothing major, food when it comes is generally not bad, not amazing but not bad. Having to toast your own bread isn't really my cup of tea when going for breakfast and would much prefer just to have this done however the fact that the bread comes from the on-site bakery - big plus! The last time I was here, we decided to sit outside in the lovely weather, when ordering food and coffees at the bar, I was told that they had run out of mugs-fine, it happens so were given takeaway cups in the interim but promised proper mugs when available. When we asked for a refill in a proper mug we were then given small glasses with boiling coffee inside - these did NOT work! The glasses were unable to be held for more than 2 seconds without burns and we were then told that that was all they had! Just give me another paper cup then! Generally not a bad place to go and seems to be great for drinks however breakfast/brunch wouldn't a huge loss

Myself and GF eat at the Graveney for brunch every weekend, we always have the eggs benny, its great and more importantly, the taste and qaulity is consistant!! great atmosphere, friendly staff, kitch decor. Recommeded!!The added bonus is the bakery, where cakes and pastries are made on site, the lemmon drizzle is RAD...

I've visited this pub a couple of times now as a friend lives close by.In the evening it's a relaxed but fun pub and the outside area is great in the summer with huge seating area, open air DJ and twinkling lights. I recommend grabbing brunch here at the weekend too - they don't skimp on portions, everything is freshly made and you can taste the quality (the sausages were my highlight - mm!). The staff were also accommodating as I don't eat tomatoes or mushrooms so they let me swap them for potatas bravas and an extra sausage.

Some big reviews here but not sure it lives up to the hype. The atmosphere in the bar is nice and the service is good. The food is reasonably priced and good. The bar man is a bit of a character and there's a bizarre cake stand there which all is quirky but out of place. It was odd enough that I may just be back.

Now this is an odd place. If it was smaller you might term it shabby-chic. But it's big and rambling and feels rather tatty and grubby! And the rear "patio" isn't exactly pretty. So not a place to take your house-proud mum then. BUT we just had one of the best full-English breakfasts ever, with perfectly cooked (and tasty) eggs, and beautiful bacon and sausages. The in-house bread was also excellent. All served by very pleasant staff - so if it's a great breakfast you are after I'd certainly recommend it.

Having just moved down to Tooting from Balham we've been very keen to check out the lunch offerings of our new neighbourhood (I'd love to say dinner but a child prevents us from that sort of thing). After the initial confusion as to how the place worked (there are several counters/ bars) etc., we had some baked goods and a vegetarian breakfast. Our 15 month devoured the French pastry and what she could get off my husband's plate. They agreed it was good stuff.Coffee was very good. Food was very good. The feel was relaxed (and with children it's rarely we feel relaxed in a food-setting). If it had a children's play area I would move in, but I'll settle for bringing a toy of my own. I'll go back tomorrow probably.

I had my parents down and we have tried other restaurants in the area. We had heard some good things about this place and thought we would give it a try. We had a fairly early table and the restaurant area had a quite relaxed feel. We were welcomed by some really nice service, including a really fun and helpful Spanish waitress. We ordered a variety of dishes including meat, fish and veg. We enjoyed everything hugely, in particular the cod and the chorizo. I really enjoyed the stuffed peppers too! We had a really good variety and you need to make sure you have a bit of everything (dont be stingy!)I really do think you should go and we will certainly be visiting again!

My girlfriend and I were meeting a friend in Tooting and he suggested here, so we arrived early for a spot of brunch. Had heard good and not so good things, but went with an open mind. Mind is now made that that I shall never return. We started with a sausage roll from the very good looking display of cakes and pastries, which was fine, nothing I couldn't have gotten from the Greggs across the road cheaper. But the eggs and chorizo on toast was embarrassing. Completely lacking flavour, no seasoning, poor quality chorizo, toast not buttered, great idea ruined but poor delivery. Partners pull pork with weak sauce, pale fries, cheap bun, completely sub standard. All washed down with small powdered hot chocolate, simply not good enough in an area that is growing in places that offer better products, and will not survive, and on returning home, I found the owners, Antic, have already gone into administration in the last year. This doesn't surprise as when we told the staff of our poor meal, one shrugged and said he was on a break, the other simply 'sorry bout that'. Will avoid all other Antic run sites in area, of which there are 'too' many, and take my money to better run, better value and better products sites such as Chicken shop, meat and shake, The Gorringe Park, Tota and many more.

Shelley and i were visiting her daughter in Tooting over the new year so one evening the 3 of us called in here for tapas. Not having been to a tapas bar before i was really looking forward to this experience and have to say i was not disappointed. We chose 3 dishes of nibbles and about 6 dishes between us and i must admit than when they arrived i thought it wouldnt be enough food for the 3 of us. I was quite wrong, we were all quite full after polishing off the prawns, duck, steak, chorizo, fritata, vegetables, olives, almonds etc etc. It was wonderful. We did have a complaint about one of the dishes however but the waiter was very concerned and apologetic and quickly resolved the problem with a free dish from the menu. After a short break to let the tapas settle we then visited the bakery and had one of the freshly made meringues from the large selection of cakes and sweets available to the customers. An excellent meal and good value for money. £33.50 for tapas for 3 people in London!! now i thought that was brilliant. Having enjoyed our evening so much we went back a few days later for brunch before we set off back home to Cumbria.Highly recommended.

An unexpected gem. Places like this help the 'up and coming' nature of tooting broadway. Big venue, lots of space, great cakes, good lunch menu and full bar. Gather there is a garden for the summer but didn't see it as we were tucked up inside given its December. Very reasonable mug of soup- perfect for a quick lunch. Must be the best place in tooting broadway. Perfect place to hide away from the bustle of the high street.

This is a find for South London Tooting, a Tapas Restaurant with a difference. The food is superb, we had the crispy squid with chilli and lime mayonnaise, scrumptious - pea and ham croquettes mouthwatering, red prawns with chilli and lemon delicious. Then onto slightly larger tapas, duck with sweet and sour plums, such a pretty plate and the flavours danced on the tongue. Also the hake wrapped in Serrano ham and served with tiny splashes of mashed potato was splendid. To finish a selection of 3 Spanish cheeses - goats, aged manchega and blue. The desserts come from the bakery so are very cake based. What is also fantastic are the prices of the excellent house wines, starting at just £14 do try the Spanish red fantastically silky. The only downside is trying to get through to book a table. The answer phone takes a message but no one calls you back to confirm, so you take pot luck when turning up for your table. But the excellent restaurant manager is friendly and extremely helpful and has promised to sort this small problem out.

Had family brekkie here on Sunday morning. Excellent food with great menu choices in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Nicest sausages I had in ages. Great eggs benedict and bacon.The service was great by very friendly, trendy staff who seemed really happy in their work.Over all one of the best breakfasts we've had. They also have their own bakery which looks fab and We will return to try their evening menu next time in London.

i go here regularly, as i attend school nearby, such a cute friendly place which has a bakery / other food you can order. friendly staff always chatty and polite. personal favourite is the lemon drizzle cake! have never been disappointed, and been going here a year! would recommend to anyone looking to relax in tooting with a cake! never been here in the evening / weekend but can see why it gets so packed!

Went looking for a tea and cake venue with some friends on Sunday afternoon. Excellent overall and so good to find somewhere so flexible re opening hours and foods/drinks available. Staff were so lovely and friendly . London needs places like this !

when i get off the train at tooting broadway i make my way to the graveney and meadow and meet my friend, we love there wine and there bar menu ,the staff are friendly and the place has a lovely buzz about it well worth a visit.

Graveney and Meadow used to do a fab brunch menu with loads of options, but the last couple of times I've been it has been reduced right down to a small & boring selection. French toast - gone. Bottomless coffee - gone. In the end I ordered toast and it turns out you have to make it yourself! The cakes are still great, but I won't be going for brunch anymore - such a shame as the speed & service was always better than Tota (another brunch place down the road). Sort it out!

I have given it a chance a few times but I always fell despite the funky décor this place never really cuts the mustard on atmosphere. I have been to their Tapas evenings a few times and enjoyed but then left after the meal to go to the Antelope for a nice drink. The recent straw on the camels back was a visit with a friend. I ordered my lunch while my friend debated over the menu. She was having trouble finding anything that would accommodate Vegans. She was politely asking the bat man to remove the cheese from the burger and if she could get some relish instead. Simple request yes? The manager who was standing in the background very assertively sated they do not make any substitutions or omissions, a bit rude without actually asking why she was making the changes. The end result was her ending up with a mushroom between burger buns and nothing else. Frankly I was mortified as I had picked the venue but I won’t be making the same mistake again.

I previously loved this place, I only live round the corner and used to regularly take friends and family there and they were suitably impressed. But in the last few months there has been a shift in atmosphere, quality of food and standard of service.I felt compelled to write a review as I'm a local new mum who would like to be able to take her friends to Graveney and Meadow in the day without dealing with loud, unhelpful, unfriendly staff and lack of daytime food choices. Today was the worst service and most unfriendly welcome we've had so far. I was shocked by the noise generated by loud staff cleaning cutlery, singing, laughing with one another or clattering plates. It's Sunday morning... Most people were hungover/ had young children or had ventured out for a quiet brunch. The staff weren't on hand to seat us and I was told I couldn't order my usual French toast as the menu had changed, I went to look at the bakery selection instead... Again the choice was limited. It's such a shame. This place is a real gem and could be amazing. My recommendations would be: lighter meal options on menu; friendlier staff (except the australian guy with longer hair, he's wonderful and very funny) regular theme days like the mad hatters tea party (that was great); maybe host mother and baby gatherings to generate daytime business.

I went to this Pub yesterday with my friend and had an excellent tapas, great bread served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We sat outside in the garden, the atmosphere was great and also the service. It was our first time at this pub and I can say it is a great surprise. The meat tapas was excellent,also the potato one. I do recommend it and for sure I'll go again. We've been served by an american girl who was really nice, also the service is great. well done guys!

Having previously been to Graveney and Meadow for a drink with a friend a few months ago I didn't have to be asked twice to go back. I loved the decor and the funky vibe, not to mention the sweet smell of bakery treats at the back and huge beer garden. However, I went back there last Saturday to meet a friend for lunch, and it's safe to say I will happily never go back. The manager there is rude and shockingly ignorant. I ordered food and a drink with a very polite staff member in there, and seeing as I have a severe allergy to dairy I asked if I could get the mushroom burger without cheese or aoili, asking instead if they had any relish, chutney or tomato sauce, at which point the manager snapped at me with "the burgers come as they are OK. They are burgers. We don't have relish. We don't have chutney. OK?". His ignorance was overwhelming, his customer service skills are disgraceful and unless he is the sole owner of this bar I would strongly advise some people skill training if he wants to keep food custom. In general, the food and bar service are very disorganised and messy.Side note, I'd advise nobody to eat here as they charge central London prices (£7.50) for a tiny burger (my friend had the cheese burger) and minuscule salad. One of the worst experiences I've ever had in a pub, and I've managed a pub for years. Go further down the road to The Antelope where the staff are amazing, the decor is just as lovely and the service and food are worth every penny.
