Half Moon in Wandsworth

Very clean & tidy, room was laid out well and everything organised for us visit, staff friendly & attentive, good selection of drinks, excellent service.

We had a very entertaining evening. Great service from the staff, a fabulous dinner and a brilliant time listening to the Kate Bush tribute band!

Had a lovely night at the moon last week, the best priced pints in sherborne and some lovely food too!! Bradley was a great barman and poured me a few perfect pints!

Arrived to a completely empty pub. Sadly the gig had been cancelled. Had Sunday lunch which was delicious. Not the usual vibe there because of the cancelled gig but turned out to be an oasis of peace and calm after the hustle and bustle of the morning. As always the staff were great.

Lovely buzzing atmosphere for dinner prior to going in to see U2 Baby gig. We had the Half Moon burgers then followed by a delicious cherry pie. Service was warm and friendly.

Good food and great gig afterwards. Plenty of choice for vegns and vegetarians and the staff were very clear which items on the menu were vegan and which vegetarian.

Very good and looked after and felt welcomed. Food was good although first choices were unavailable. Seemed good quality and value for money

We felt very sorry for the two young servers who were completely overwhelmed by those attending a Sunday night concert. It almost appeared that the pub management had been surprised by the number of customers! I used the Young’s app as I thought this would be easiest - slow service and the food was poor when it arrived. Overcooked fish with undercooked batter….this is now the second time the food has been poor, and I’m afraid I cannot recommend this pub to eat. Very disappointing.

Friendly and helpful staff, quick service at table and bars. Great food reasonably priced. Nice decor in pub and atmosphere.

Food was awful - veg chewy, dry and inedible. Mac n cheese dry . Gave feed back to waist and was told chef couldn’t do anything about it. Don’t eat here .

Great pub - great food & drink. Great bands also. All the staff are really friendly. Love the place Will definitely be back.

Pub was great for dinner in the bar and then a live band in the room at the back, which also had a bar. The staff were brilliant and went above and beyond.

Very nice meal (fish and chips) with friendly staff in nice warm pub then amazing concert featuring two of the folk world legends Tom Paxton and Ralph McTell playing in a much smaller venue than they usually do. A wonderful evening.

Food was good and staff were friendly and efficient. We only had a small plate and sides and the food came quickly and was hot.

Well looked after by Jack and the rest of the stall, good food before fantastic music from Gino Washington. Looking forward to our next visit.

Very good and looked after by Jack. Food was very nice and presented well. Friendly and helpful staff and plenty of smiles

Visited the Half Moon for Sunday lunch with my brother and my son. Lunch followed by an outstanding gig from Hank Wangford and the Lost Cowboys. Sunday roast was perfect and the service was attentive and excellent. Great relaxed ambience. Deya Steady Rolling Man on tap. Absolutely brilliant experience.

Completely ignored to the point we walked out without being served. We went out for Sunday lunch went into the dining area of the bar, I said hello to the bartender. We sat down she took a drinks order at the table right next to us , no eye contact with us not even a hello. No menus were even offered. Best option for us was to leave the bar which we did.

Great night out again at the Half Moon for relaxing meal and drinks before a brilliant night of music from The Total Stone Roses + Oaysis. Lovely atmosphere and service.

Brilliant evening for our group of 7. Lovely staff, particularly attentive and amazing food for a pub. The best hamburger ! We were there for the fantastic tribute band show taking place afterwards.

Six of us received very friendly and efficient service. Fish and chips was great; burgers didn’t appear to be adult sized portions.

Great pub, great service from Jack. Who looked after us. Great concert venue also. Will definitely be back again soon. Top London Venue.

What a great pub! Great atmosphere, Friendly and professional staff. Good pub grub. A bonus is the live music venue at the back which we go to often. One of our favourites.

The process to book a table was good and it was easy to find the table when I arrived, as there was a tent card on display with my details. The service was quick and friendly and the food was good and reasonably priced. There was even a facility to check my rucksack, so I didn’t need to carry it while we watched the band..

First time coming here and won’t be the last! Came to see a band called malice, nice small venue, even though it was sold out it was still comfortable and easy to get a drink. Great location for a gig and excellent sound system!

We stumbled across this pub by accident on 02.06.22. They had a DJ outside playing great music and a food area. Everyone was in great spirit and enjoying themselves. We were made to feel very welcome. We wanted to stay but had other plans. We will be returning on our next visit to London.

I absolutely LOVE this place - a gem. Would recommend to anyone - young, old, families... feeling so welcome every time

Travelled up from wiltshire to see Dirty DC at the Half Moon. There was a great selection of beers and a real great location for a gig sound was great.

Very happy to come back to this west London gem every few months. Nice efficient staff and very pretty winter look in the garden. One problem only: my last Prosecco was in a glass for beer.. mhhh!!!!

Κλασικό bar , καλή εξυπηρέτηση , καλή τοποθεσια , καλό φαγητο αλλά λιγο ακριβό για αυτά που προσφέρει

We often stop in here for a drink on way to Fulham home matches. Bought a round this time for my wife and I last Wednesday - pint of IPA and a double gin and tonic. Came to £18.75!! I queried with the bartender £5+ for one gin and £5+ for having a double + £3.50 for the tonic, plus pint. Ridiculous pricing. Won't being going in here again - shame nice venue otherwise.

Pre-gig snack. Great food , Great Beer, Great Service and Great value for money. The menu has a good selection to suit most tastes. Doug

Came here on Friday night with 11 of us to see (My winehouse) great tribute band and thoroughly enjoyed the show, the pub a tad expensive but paying Putney prices there’s a good selection here and found staff friendly, £1 for cloakroom overall a nice time had by all.

Check the website and ask if you can realistically afford / are willing to pay £30 for a sharing roast for 2 people. If the answer is yes then I promise you will be happy and full afterwards.

Primera visita en muchos años. El servicio fue amable y atento, todos disfrutamos de una cena asada especialmente todo el pollo asado para 2, excelente relación calidad-precio y muy buena. Nos hubiéramos quedado para el cuestionario si lo hubiéramos sabido pero tuviéramos entradas para la música en vivo. Esperamos una visita de regreso.

Was staying with my boyfriend in Putney and came here three times because we loved it so much! Food was absolutely amazing, (we got fish & chips and the mac and cheese croquettes - the sauce for these was phenomenal). The first time we went my soda was served in a TINY glass with no re-fill (even though it came out of a soda-gun) but the second time it was served in a larger glass and was enough to drink through dinner and was much more enjoyable so I recommend they keep serving in the larger glass! This pub have a beautiful inside bar with cozy seating, and a really nice outside with heat lamps. They also have lots of activities going on, including a pub quiz on Sunday and a live music venue! This will definitely be a regular spot when staying in Putney!

Absolutamente terrible comida - el peor pescado y patatas fritas que he tenido. Y mi compañero tenía un guiso de pescado, incluso el sombrero era simplemente terrible. En realidad, parecía que alguien acababa de abrir una sopa de tomate Heinz, calentó y esparció mejillones encima.El servicio era muy malo también. Tuvimos que pedir correctamente que nos sentaran y cuando lo hicimos, el camarero no vino con los menús ni nos reconoció durante más de 15 minutos, así que luego fuimos al bar y preguntamos: "¿Podemos obtener un menú y pedir bebidas?" el camarero dijo de forma muy ágil: "Oh, me alegra darte un servicio de mesa" (como si fuera algo fuera de lo común).Sí, en general. Definitivamente no volveré por la comida y no recomendaría a nadie comer aquí.Sin embargo, el espectáculo de comedia al que fuimos en este lugar fue muy bueno y bien organizado, aunque el acto principal se había retirado una hora antes.

although the ambience within the half moon is good the quality of the food is not exceptional and as such does not warrant the high price tag

Un agradable personal de bar / camareros, buena comida, una gran selección de cervezas (algo caro, pero eso es Londres).

No puedo hablar por la comida, ya que me tomo el Tandoori más abajo en la carretera.

Went for a gig..lovely friendly, helpful staff...food was good and the wine! Had great time, my only but is its expensive!

Descent food but nothing extraordinary. The environment is cosy and relaxed. If you are close it’s a reasonable choice for food and beers.

Starter got sent back under cooked baked Camembert. Not enough bread so requested more Burger was ok but chips over cooked / old fat. Greasy Very expensive wine list Only thing redeeming it slightly was the service.

first visit, went last Saturday night to see boot leg led zep, had booked online, pub was busy as fulham had just played over the river - Nikki the bar maid quickly cleared those on our booked table, went and got us samples of the real ales on offer, she even went to her car and got her i phone charger and plugged in my phone as it was nearly dead - now that's what i called service ! fish n chips was generous portion, nice and tasty - the gig venue is intimate and has its own bar - all in all a first class night - we will be back :-)

We weren’t confident the food would be that good here having read previous reviews but we were both pleasantly surprised at how good our meal was. The shepherd’s pie and the quinoa salad were both excellent. Service was a bit slow but the pie was cooked fresh and it was a busy night.

The food was cold ,the Young's Bitter was off/ undrinkable after a couple of pints. The Girl who served us was absolutely brilliant....

Been several times for the music and this time thought to try the food. Showed to our table; Waited 20 mins and still no service . We were aware we only had table for an hour..... tried several times to attract waitress attention..... so walked out.

Half Moon es un preciado, local, local de música en directo y un pub con un gran jardín y agradable zona de restaurante gastro-pub.

No puedo alabar la Lumbre suficiente! Yo tenía 40 de mi socio "sorpresa" fiesta de cumpleaños aquí este fin de semana con 35 personas a asistir. Cuando los gerentes de organizar las fiestas y Nick me Pippa acomodada en las solicitudes que tenía, pedí un menú barbacoa temáticas y canapés estaban contentos. Fue un gran éxito con nuestros amigos y el personal del día (Saskia y Harry) hizo un trabajo fantástico para mantener feliz a todo el mundo. A todos nos encantó el lugar y era un gran espacio para este grupo de tamaño. Recomiendo encarecidamente el Half Moon.

Empapada en la historia del rock británico, el Half Moon es un poco de curiosidad ahora desde su ascenso a una pubstaurant. Es a menudo cerca de vacío durante la semana, pero que es muy popular para la comida (caro) y las bebidas (caro) y la música en vivo (razonable). También hay una hamburguesa que cocina shack fuera excelente hamburguesas: cocinados a su gusto con una variedad de extras. Concierto en noches que está bastante llena, a menudo con la multitud de nostalgia y el ambiente es siempre bueno. Hay una amplia selección de bebidas y aperitivos del bar con el personal por lo general eficiente y amable.

Este es uno de los pubs de la zona que tiene un espacio de Putney, fuera tan buena para el verano. Decidimos hacer una visita nocturna para algunos alimentos, como no han sido por un tiempo. El pub en sí es bastante buena, sin embargo...

Buen lugar y pub. Personal amable. El único inconveniente era no ser amargo en el bar en el lugar. Los problemas eran buenos.

Sólo estoy revisando la parte de música de este pub y no la parte del bar. Un gran lugar para visitar en la noche del lunes ya que está a sólo 2 libras. 50 de entrada para ver música en vivo. Fui y vi cinco actos con unas cuantas cervezas. ¿Qué mejor manera de pasar una noche de lunes.

Un ambiente fantástico para una cerveza, viendo Rugby, disfrutar de una estupenda comida en inglés. Nos encantó! Y si tienes suerte incluso puedes disfrutar de música al lado de la noche

Very nice pub, staff were friendly, service was good and the beer was reasonably priced. We went to see chip and chesney on tour and had a great night. The venue lends itself well to live music, with the crowd being almost on stage!! John bishop turned up too!

Potentially this could have been a great show but Chesney 's dad Chip, who was great in the Tremeloes, over shadowed the show. It was an extremely slow first half, which needed more of a an umph. Chesney is a good artist and should have been lead with his dad supporting. It was more Chip than Ches. We left at the half time break a little disappointed.

The Half Moon is a bar known for the music that palys there. However, our visit was post football game across river from Craven Cottage, London's coldest ground. So getting into the Half Moon with England Rugby on the TV screens, good beer, comfrtable seating and a friendly crew (except for the person who thought we were in his reserved seat) was a treat. Good atmosphere, reasonable beers and on the easy bus route btween Rcihmond and Putney. One for more visits.

Haven't eaten at the Half Moon in a while and met with friends for a Sunday Lunch.We got there quite early and had a great Table.They are Dog Friendly and they were excellent with our friends Dogs offering them (the Dogs!) a bowl of water after we'd settled down!The Sunday Lunchtime Menu is quite simple which is the way we prefer and settled for comfort food.In the old days it was called Bangers and Mash but now it's Cumberland Sausages on a bed of mashed potatoes with rich gravy!We had a nice bottle of Malbec and shared a couple of plates of very nice Cheeses to help wash it down.The experience was very good; attentive service, nice food and wine and in a very pleasant environment.Highly recommend.

We visited the pub/music venue early in the afternoon. Stopped in for a beer. Nice selection of British Ales on tap. Very welcoming staff and atmosphere. It is known as a music venue at night, but is a nice place for drink during the day.

Had a fantastic night watching the small fakers. A traditional lively pub with bands. This pubs been around for a long time and attracts the crowds. Good atmosphere and nice range of beers.

Being A Status Quo fan myself and partner travelled up to London to see John Coghlan’s Quo play the Half Moon.It was our visit to Putney and The Half Moon was a very pleasant pub steeped in Rock ‘n’ Roll History.The place was Sold Out and the place was Rockin’ All Night, great Rock Venue!The only thing was the drinks were very heavily priced which was not too good for us but it was a great night, would go back !

Fantastic music, great venue, even better people. Would highly recommend to anyone for a night out. Also pretty decent food

I went to see a band with friends and we also booked for Sunday lunch. The beer selection was good and the service attentive. However, for the price I thought the quality of the Sunday roast was only average. Next time we come to see a band we will use Trip Advisor to check out alternative venues. I appreciate that Sunday's pre-Christmas can be very busy but, we had made an early booking for this reason - hence my disappointment. I hope others have a better experience.

Good range of beers and ciders , quick service when walking in. Nice decoration , the toilets could be slightly cleaner though.

Can't comment on the music venue side, because we only called in for a quick supper en route to a party, but we were pleasantly surprised. The dining area is very comfortable and the ambiance good. The service was swift, charming and friendly. When I hesitated over my choice I was immediately offered a sample of the wine to taste. We had a delicious tart with salad and some good chips. I only give 4 stars because we had the only veggie main on the menu - a bigger choice would be good.

Visited the Half Moon prior to a Football match at Fulham.Good sized pub with its own auditorium.The staff are very friendly and helpful, the sell a good range of beers etc.They food is very good.Will return when next in the area.If you provide your details on their web site they over a free drink.

Came to watch a singer here and decided to get some food. I had the sausage and mash which was very good. Friends had the cheese board and fish and chips and everyone seemed to enjoy

Great band but evening ruined by poor bar service and a crowd of people that decided to talk (or shout) to each other. No effort by the staff to sush the crowd. Very distracting and annoying. Emailed the Half Moon but no response.

I popped in to the halfmoon last friday about 6/30 and tried to order 2 pints of youngsters ordinary, I was told it was sold out, I was offered a guest ale but that was also sold out ,but was told both ales would be available the next day. We had Guinness, this was not a very good pint, recently the beer has lmprved, but back to the usual rubbish beer especially on popular band nights....

This is a hard one for me - we only went to see the guitar legend Dave Gregory (ex XTC) who was playing a 60's Brit Invasion gig. He was ace, the keyboard guy was very good, the rest were what you'd expect to see for less than the price of the house burger - anyway that's a different review......we had the Burger Shack burgers which were very good quality and so not bad for the £10 price tag - buy your gig tickets online and get free curly fries - which are nicely seasoned and a decent portion.And so to the beer - nice beer but 4 identical rounds and 4 different prices - someone's mixing up their till buttons or I'm getting fleeced - either way - most unhappy.

We've seen a few cover bands here as well as a few that should have given up years ago, but it's the sort of small live music venue that makes London a great place to live. Good beer, cheap to get in, small standing room only space and a lot of jigging about by people in their 50s and 60s, what's not to like ?

What a fantastic pub. A great music venue. The pub is about 10 minutes walk from Putney bridge tube station. It serves good pub meal's and various ales. Live music most nights. The Half Moon is one of the best pubs in London.

I've been here several times to watch live bands. The 'music room' is at the back (no windows), quite small but great atmosphere. Food looks ok, though not much for non-meat eaters.Great bar staff and a really nice pub whether going for the music or for a few beers with your mates!

Exactly as it's name describes - It is a small burger servery in the outdoor area of the pub - Small selection of burgers at £9.99 for the entry level going up to £11 - it's not exactly cheap but the burgers were very good - Curly fries at an extra £3 - one portion was enough for two of us especially as the burgers were pretty man size.

We ended up here as we were going to see a band so thought we would eat. The staff are really friendly and the food was delicious. If it wasn't homemade I would be surprised!

Visited with friends who had brought their children to a music event here. Nice relaxed atmosphere and the event was enjoyed by the girls.

Arrived at the pub at about 8.10 for a gig in the back room. Ordered food at about 8.20 and waited over half an hour for two very ordinary burgers and lukewarm chips. Atmosphere in the pub after the gig was nice with good 60s records playing and enough room for everybody. Moral of the story I suppose is eat before you arrive. The place is still a live music legend though.

First time and pretty impressed. Ok the bar can get very crowded and some of the staff seem pretty disengaged/inexperienced (other reviewed here highlight similar issues), but we came here for the Music and Beer, no issues. Definitely a party place, great Live GIG area in a separate large area at the back(200 people), and there's a DJ in the main bar late. Packed when I was there on a Saturday.

Such a shame. We had visited this pub before and the atmosphere was really pleasant and friendly and the food was great. Visited again today and found it to be absolutely dreadful. The service was terribly slow and the bar staff very rude. No-one appeared to be in charge and there weren't enough staff. In the middle of being served, the bartender walked off and started to do something else. Another member of the staff picked the drink up that had been poured for me and gave it to someone else on the other side of the bar. There were 4 of us eating - one meal was ready around 20 minutes before the rest so it was very disjointed. The food was very mediocre and not worth the price paid. After about 9pm the lights dimmed and the music being played in the bar was turned up really high (wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't Justin Timberlake and One Direction). Lots of loud drinkers spilling beer onto the floor - all in all not a very pleasant atmosphere.

Terrible experience....2.15 Sunday lunch table for 6. delays... 20 minutes just to get a drink..poor food for the cost ( £18 roast beef with 2 half roast potatoes, 2 small slivers of beef, a crusty tasteless excuse for a Yorkshire pudding, and one veg...small portion of cabbage...no horseradish until insisted. No one appeared to be in charge. Drinks written off for delays but what should have been a lovely Sunday lunch ruined. We didn't even stay and went up the road to a cafe for coffee and dessert. Really need to do better if going to charge restaurant prices for food.

Had wanted to visit the Half Moon for years, it being one of the finest and most prolific live music venues with loads of history behind it, After a very pleasant stroll down Putney Embankment it was a natural stopping off point for a lunchtime refreshment, we had planned to return in the evening for a Dr Feelgood Gig but the sunny day and excellent Youngs Ale put pay to that idea, the pictures and hanging guitars of past visiting artistes just adds to the atmosphere and charm. Didn't try the food but the menu looked appetising and not unreasonable for the area. Sells itself as a Gastropub.

Hot day, bar was empty, music in the garden was nice. Food looked good. But£9.30 for a large Pimms!!! Are you actually kidding me.

I stopped by here for a quick evening meal, and managed to find something vegetarian amongst a very meaty (and fishy!) menu. I opted for something called an "open tart" which I imagined to be a small quiche-like thing. As it turned out, there was no egg (so good for vegans) but the whole thing can't have weighed more than 3 ounces; a 6 x 3 inch wafer biscuit with a teaspoonful of pesto, 3 tiny broccoli florets, a handful of edamame beans (described as broad beans) and covered with a one inch thick thatch of green salad that looked luminous and tasted of very little. It did nothing to satisfy my hunger and I had to eat again later! Not the best £9 I've ever spent.It was my first experience of food here, and I don't think I'll be going back. Putney is alive with bars, cafes and restaurants and the Half Moon needs to watch out for the competition.

We've been going to the Half Moon for a couple of years and seen some great bands. Whilst the bands are still great, the venue has really gone down hill. Last night, waited 10 minutes to get served at the main bar, only to find the bitter we had chosen had run out. After getting served, waited another 10 mins to put our coats in the cloakroom. During this time, several staff walked past, and said 'be back in a minute', but they never came back. Finally entered the Music room, really great band. The bar in the Music room ran out of bitter during the evening, so had to suffer lager. There was water pouring out of the gents toilets, when we told the bar staff, they said they know.One of the best gigs we've seen, there but let down buy the poor venue.

There are not that many live music venues as good as this, nice bar and a very good separate 'music' room. Very well run with a great list of forthcoming bands. But, their drinks prices are stupidly expensive, make your money on tickets, that's fine for the entertainment but don't take advantage of the people that come.

Absolutely love this place. It's perfect for a chill out. Great for hanging out with friends and family. Great for gigs. Me and my friend always go to visit Will Black when he's in town. The staff are friendly. The pub is open all day every day and the kitchen offers everything from bar snacks to an evening dinner. Perfect if your either popping in for lunch, munching on food before or during a gig or having a night out. They do all kinds of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.

We popped in to the Half Moon on Saturday lunch time. I ordered the spring vegetable tart (the only veggie main option) and my boyfriend went for fish and chips. When the tart arrived I thought there had been a mistake as it looked like a small plate of salad and I couldn't see even a hint of pastry. Lifting up the leaves revealed a small square of incredibly thick pastry with no filling...it was just a slab of pastry with a watercress salad on top - very weird. What's more, the pastry was about a centimeter and a half thick and completely overcooked - I couldn't even get my fork in to it - and the salad had two very small broccoli florets and a few broadbeans. It's very rare for me to send things back, but this was £12.50 (with no sides) and the pastry was inedible so I felt I had to. They refunded me for the 'tart' with no question, but also no apology. Would go again for a drink, but definitely not for food.

Last Wednesday, 13th April, our record label, Trapeze hosted an event at the Half Moon. Bands and crew all ate before hand, and I think half our audience did too! Service was quick and all the staff, from bar, to kitchen, to sound engineer and door staff were all a credit to their pub. Unlike some venues across London, the Half Moon is extremely well run and clean! Could not find fault with any aspect of our evening.Would recommend, and further still want to go back!

Attended the Half Moon pub in Putney for a great rock gig - but to call itself a gastro pub is a joke - Booked tables at 6pm for 20 of us, 8 in or with the band needed to eat well before the gig - ordered the Sunday lunch, roast beef.....after some delay, the waiter said roast beef was off, but there was roast pork.... Another hour passed, then another 20 minutes. My husband, the drummer, nearly expiring from hunger, went across the road with roadie to get takeaway for dressing room (now far to close to playing to be enjoyed); bass player gave up; rest of us asked and asked - finally after more than 90 minutes, gone 7.30, plates of dried up burnt offerings arrived - burnt Yorkshire pudding, dried up pork bell (NOT roast pork!), chicken pie with lethal bone in it, tasteless mac and cheese - a disaster - staff like headless chickens, chef??? Don't go to eat, just for the music!

Like the service in the Half Moon, my review is over a week late!Service incredibly slow. Food Terrible. I ordered a main course size goats cheese salad. It arrived with a very small scattering of goats cheese and mainly consisted of rocket. I complained about the price and asked for more cheese. The salad was taken away (which was not necessary, as cheese could have been brought out separately) and it was returned 20 minutes later - with less cheese and a huge pile of unappetizing rocket. My partner's food had gone cold with the wait. I didn't feel comfortable eating the returned salad, as was worried why it has taken 20 minutes, in an uncrowded restaurant. Only 2 other tables eating food. We waited for another approx 30 minutes for our bill! Would not eat here again. A shame as have had good food from here in the past and the pub interior is really nice.

We have been a few times before to what we thought was a lovely pub to eat in before the gig we were attending later on. We sat down and realised it was now self service ie get up and order at the bar! Disappointing. Then we bought a bottle of prosecco which was presented in a dirty shower type bag of ice to keep cold and plastic dirty glasses?! We asked at the bar for some actual glass glasses but they said they didn't have any so we asked them to at least clean them! Dinner- we went as 2 couples and ordered per couple at the same time. The 2 guys got their food first so they started eating we girls assumed ours will follow........10 mins later I went and asked the bar staff where the rest of our food is the guy just shrugged and said it will proberly be along soon?!!! Another 10 mins our husbands had finished their meal and my friends dinner arrived ....... 10 mins later mine came out!!!! At this point the gig was about to start. The care free staff did in the end apologise and offer free drinks which was fine But busy or not this really is not acceptable it used to be a nice pub to eat in won't go back to eat. Shame as the food was actually quite nice.

A disappointing visit to a pub that has changed since we last visited 2 years ago. The bar staff were struggling just taking drink orders and the food was either not available or not what was stated on the menu. Simply this is an overpriced pub lacking in ambience. Such a shame as it was once really good value.

I've been eating in restaurants/gastro pubs since before I can remember and quite frankly... this was my worst experience ever. The food (if that what it was) was poorly served, was tasteless, lukewarm and grossly over-priced. My friend who quite rightly complained about the 'food' on his plate didn't even receive an apology from the bar staff. This pub is not fit to serve food and I'm so glad that I won't be visiting again. Terrible!

Arrived an hour and a half before a live music gig on a Sunday evening, anticipating a leisurely meal and a pint. After all, the Half Moon's own website says, "Seeing as the pub is open all day every day it would be a shame if the kitchen wasn’t – so it is and offers everything from bar snacks to an evening feast and all points in between. So whether you’re popping by for lunch or rounding out the night with us we’ve got you covered."The reality: "We've been busy today, unless you've pre-ordered we can't serve you food". Me: You mean there isn't a single meal in the kitchen that hasn't already been allocated to someone? (I was on my own & am not a fussy eater). "No."At half-time in the gig I returned to the bar for another pint. Do you have any dry-roasted peanuts? "We've sold out of bar snacks."The gig (Stanley Dee) was fabulous, and I will probably be back, but next time I'll definitely eat before I come.

Went there for live music. Friend wanted to eat elsewhere prior to attending; I persuaded him to eat here, after all it is a 'Gastro' pub. I ordered pork belly, with vegetables, price £14.95. Quite expensive? Wel it is a'Gastro' pub so it must be quality. It arrived. Essentially a bare plate; small thin square of pork in the middle. Asked waiter if vegetables will follow shortly. No, came the reply, they're on my plate! The vegetables indeed were there. Consisting of 3x baby parsnips 2inch in length...that was my veg!!! They were also barely lukewarm. The pork approx 3x3 inches, 1/2 inch thick, not hot; dry as though it had been sitting under heat lamp for an age. Very poor quality food and barely sufficient to satisfy a toddler. I would have been insulted by this in any old pub at half that price. Charging that and calling it Gastro is frankly unprofessional, dishonest and inexcusable. Never again will I or my friends eat there again.

We always enjoy music @ The Half Moon, so lunch & music seemed like a good idea for Valentines day. Bar staff and music were great as always.Sadly the food/service was not.Our table was dirty and the empty plates were left there for a long time. We then moved tables to get a better view of the band... and that table was also dirty with empty dishes on which remained for while... then removed, but the table was not cleaned before our food came..Our roast had a small jar of mint sauce placed right in the middle of the gravy!!! not very nice!. We moved our plates away from us on the table and they sat there for quite a while. Not a great Valentines lunch...considering it wasn't that busy..

Wonderful atmosphere and great venue to enjoy live music with separate area to enjoy local and internationally acclaimed bands .

Had many top visits for gigs, easy 5/5. Nice shabby chic refit; many of the music pics showing the history have gone. The place changed to a smaller pub chain from a big brewery. They have a late night disco on fri nights on recent visits. Summer Bbq. Drinks not cheap but about what you'd expect. Gigs fab value and staff have always been good here. Normally get served pretty quick too!

We were visiting to see a show in the Pub's Events Room, so it seemed ideal to book a table for a meal before the show. Looking at the Menus ( online) this seemed just what we wanted. and the online booking was so easy and quick. On Arrival we were shown to our table which had a named reserved label. The menus are not extensive , but are varied which implies they do a few meals very well and to order. The service was excellent, prompt and friendly. it appeared the staff really enjoyed their work and ensured everything was okay with our meals. The meals were well proportioned and at the right temperature. I would differently order the same meals again, after I had tried a few of the others.

Dined at the half moon before seeing a gig there last night - the food was awful. I ordered the beef and ale stew and my friend ordered a cheese burger, we also had some green sides. The pub looked nice, and the prices were gastro pub prices, so we were looking forward to the meal. EVERYTHING was probably 3X more salty than it needed to be. My beef and ale stew was meant to be served with crusty bread (that's what it said on the board) - it came out with a single piece of toast, cut into two triangles. Never mind, I love toast. But the stew broth came coated with half a cm film of fat, and was so salty that I had to stop eating it to prevent a heart attack. The beef itself had not really been stewed, and the beef was clearly tiny pieces of off-cuts from meat from another dish - small, fatty, crunchy, and hard as kibbles. The cheese burger was atrocious - the buns were shiny, vacuous, and flat - looked like they were sourced from ASDA - which is fine if you were at home, but not to pay £14 for. The chips that came with it were also budget supermarket frozen fries. The whole meal was quite below average. A good looking steak knife plunged into a burger does not make it a tasty burger.The green sprout tops on the side were nice - but again, I couldn't eat it all because of the salt levels. Luckily I stopped, because I woke up this morning with fairly swollen and aching joints as it is. Our bill came to £50 for two people - I simply didn't realise that Putney was so posh that £50 wouldn't be enough to buy a half decent meal. I'll make sure to pick up some mcdonalds before heading to Putney for any shows in the future. Score of 2, because the service was at least helpful and friendly (and I didn't find any metal objects in my food). Food score = zero. Summary = total waste of £50.
