Latchmere in Wandsworth

Don’t go to this pub if you’re a person of colour. You will never get served! The bartender took particular pleasure in smirking at us while serving everyone around us. Then she took a seat and only got up to serve other white people who turned up. We would have left only we had tickets for the play upstairs. We were told by other customers that two other racist incidents had happened in the last two weeks alone, instigated by staff. Such a shame that this lovely pub has turned out this way. We were eventually served by an East Asian bartender when he turned up for his shift. Forty minutes and much smirking later!

Loved this place, great food and service, excellent pint of Landlord, and all for half price as it was Tuesday.

Nice pub that accepts children 😊

Wonderful place with amazing staff. Felt so welcome and cared for!

Been in a few times, there’s a group of locals who always make everyone feel like family and the staff always go above and beyond. If you want a pub that is gonna make you feel like you are returning home after a long trip this is the pub for you.

Staff super friendly and polite. Food incredible (especially the pork) vibes high

I Have Nothing but praise for this wonderful establishment. My Love is their Love - the staff are incredibly attentive and want to make sure they Run To You. I feel So Emotional seeing this community. O say, does that Union Jack-ed bar yet wave. Latchmere: I Will Always Love You.

Buena comida sabrosa. Buena relación calidad-precio. El tipo que nos sirve era muy agradable y servicial. Lástima que no vivimos más cerca porque sin duda iría allí de nuevo.

Absolutely amazing food lovely pub however the workers are extremely stuck up and rude ! If you don’t look and dress a certain way you get looked down on and spoken down to . Very unhelpful staff I have been here twice now and will never return I gave it a second chance as I really do enjoy the food however leaving feeling deflated and like I was not good enough had put me off ! And considering the person that greets you looks like she needs a good scrub I find it highly amusing she can judge so hard !!

Big proper pub, with tiles and all the right vibes. Central and enjoyable in any kind of circumstance.

Great food at reasonable prices, good for sport and has a beer garden

Great deals in January when registering in their website. Always a lovely date night to overcome the blue Monday blues

I judge London by its pubs. Point of contact during off-peak hours of the day, when returning from the office, and often in the solitude of Sunday evenings. One detail sticks out to me: listening to Led Zeppelin over English tea is a must 😍

Lovely pub, good choice of drinks. Food always a hit 😁

We had the half price food available in Jan, and it was really nice

Great service and excellent food. Dined here twice in one week and it was terrific both times. Incredibly helpful staff and very friendly!

Proper beer, excellent food and great service. Lovely to be back!

Great place. Lovely beers, lovely staff. What more can one say?

Estoy asombrado de algunas reseñas de tipo Karen aquí. El gimnasio es genial. buenos entrenadores. El centro tiene un ambiente familiar inclusivo sin actitud. Gran restaurante. Siempre limpio. Vamos, no son champneys. Muchos sabores de champán en los presupuestos de cerveza. Me encanta. Activo vital de la comunidad. He usado gimnasios en Londres durante años. Esto está ahí arriba créeme

staff needs to more improve very impressed service

Great pub between Clapham junction and queenstown road. Excellent atmosphere with dining area and plenty of seating for drinks both indoor and outdoor. Quiz nights on Mondays are very good too.

Ah, this pub—what an absolute masterpiece of British charm! The kind of place that effortlessly balances tradition and festive cheer, with garlands on the bannister, perfectly polished tables, and a television showing the muted drama of daytime news. It’s a venue that doesn’t just invite you in; it wraps you in a warm embrace of amber lighting and the promise of perfectly poured pints. The ambiance whispers of lively conversations, quiet contemplation, and memories waiting to be made. Truly, the pub deserves every accolade—it’s practically the standard against which all others should be judged. But then there’s the group seated at the table—a gathering that feels less like a merry bunch of friends and more like a focus group convened to test the limits of social cohesion. Let’s start with Plaid Shirt. Now, I’m not saying he stole that fabric from a family enjoying a summer picnic in Hyde Park, but the evidence is damning. Somewhere out there, a couple is lamenting the loss of their cheerful gingham spread while he sits here, utterly unrepentant, transforming it into a shirt that somehow manages to be both bold and deeply questionable. Next, we have Red Jumper, who seems to be auditioning for the role of “overenthusiastic Christmas uncle” with his gesticulations and constant movement. His energy is palpable—almost too palpable. You can’t help but think he’s moments away from either spilling a pint or launching into an unsolicited story about the time he “nearly” made it on a pub quiz team. Denim Jacket appears contemplative, staring down at his pint like it owes him money. He’s the kind of guy who looks like he’s permanently rehearsing a monologue in his head, possibly about the existential weight of choosing between crisps and chips at the bar. Across from him is The Grinning Enigma—someone who seems far too pleased with himself, as though he’s just pulled off a prank none of the others have noticed yet. His smirk suggests a man who knows he’ll be the one with the last laugh, though it’s unclear at whose expense. And then there’s the fellow with the shaved head, whose posture screams, “I could be anywhere else, and yet, here I am.” He leans forward with his hands clasped as though he’s mediating a conflict, yet the only conflict is why he’s bothering to stay engaged in this chaotic roundtable of mismatched energy. All the while, the pub remains immaculate, a steady backdrop of perfection against the swirling tide of this odd crew. It’s a place that welcomes all—even these five, who somehow manage to make themselves the centre of attention without actually doing anything remarkable. Five stars for the pub. As for the group? Let’s just say they’ve brought… character to the establishment, though I doubt the picnic blanket family would agree.

Great place to socialise! Funny and friendly staff, good dips and bread, great red wine 🍷 😂

Efficient service. Too much food!

Lovely interior decor. Very good selection of food, especially the Sunday Roast.

Staff were so incredibly rude. I’m not one to complain about staff, but they were so snappy, especially when asking to see an allergen chart! Made us very uncomfortable

This is my favourite pub, they have a water refill station for when I get a sore head.

We liked the burgers we had and the Half Price Tuesday deal was an added bonus. The staff were nice but the venue doesn't quite deserve 5 stars, from an interior design perspective it's slightly boring or could do with a touch up at least.

We had a wonderful experience here. The atmosphere was great, and the staff was friendly and attentive. There was a small misunderstanding with our bill, but the team handled it quickly and professionally, ensuring everything was resolved smoothly. We really appreciated their excellent service and attention to detail. Highly recommend! 😊

Good sized portions. Friendly staff. Yummy food.

Tasty burger and fish and chips! Came quickly

Excellent food with great service. Dog friendly. Good selection of ales

Great service, and a really good pint.

Mala primera impresión a la llegada. No hay reconocimiento de que nos servirían por cualquiera de los 3 miembros del personal detrás de la barra a pesar de que no estaba ocupado. Esperó 10 minutos para ser servido ya que el personal evitó repetidamente el contacto visual y bromeó entre sí. Me persuadieron de quedarme junto a mi hija, pero no volveré.

Great Guinness, friendly staff. Food looked amazing but I'd already eaten. Would definitely visit again x

The food and beer seem adequate for a pub, however, at the end of the night when they turn on the lights we saw a couple of mice making their way to the kitchen. After alerting the waitress we had a nice conversation with the pub manager that covered: - His pub has a health rating of 5 - Mice are always there but can't get into the food because it's locked in "airtight containers" - Every pub in London has mice - It's not cost effective to get rid of the mice properly So there's that. We had a generally enjoyable time, but are not going to return there due to the mice issue, as we don't feel comfortable eating in the company of rodents, regardless of the assurances of the manager.

Very nice pub with great garden area. Main are inside is spacious, looks and feels cosy and makes you order another pint or two just to sit there and enjoy the moment. I liked the vibes from this place a lot, feels old, with some history around it, and very warmth and relaxed. My fish&chips was very good, loved those massive chunky chips, fish was good as well, maybe had too much batter for my liking but they serve mushy peas hot which completely ruins peas for me. It was dry and didn't have much taste. Why oh why? Service was exceptionally good, helpful and polite, and with my anxiety I don't say those things lightly. Food has arrived quick. My other complain would be about prices: I know it's London and everything is expensive now but 22 quid for a meal and pint of Guinness zero feels a bit overpriced for that area. It's not exactly Central yet. I sound like a Scottish, I know. Clean small toilet with hot water, which is not that common in London. Would visit again when in area, my job sent me there for one day so it's unlikely but never say never.

Dinner on a Sunday evening. The first bottle of wine we chose was unfortunately out of stock. Arancini to start were good, mains less so. Burger was overcooked to the point of hardness. Ravioli were genuinely of worse quality than supermarket – so dry they stuck to each other, no appearance of the promised pesto to loosen things up. Filling was a hard, sad lump within; grainy and tasteless. They gave the impression of having been harshly defrosted and quickly overcooked (which I'm sure is what happened). Server then promptly disappeared and we were given no chance to order dessert, as meanwhile we watched the kitchen close down. The staff were friendly enough, if not particularly useful. Gave the impression of not wanting to be there – one thing we all had in common by the end!

Amazing food! Excellent fishfinger sandwich and the chicken supreme was delicious - the crispy skin was too delicious. Honourable mentions to the scotch egg and beef shin croquettes. Will definitely be back.

First time in lachmere and we had a great time ! Huge shout out to Lauren for her amazing service and great personality, will definitely come back !

One of the better pubs in the Battersea area. Has a huge garden area with two big screens for any sports events. Quality pub, the staff are great and service is always quick. Busy most evenings of the week but never too busy that you have to wait long for a drink. The food is really quite strong for a pub, come here on a Sunday for the roast and you will not be disappointed. Always choose to come here over any of the other pubs within a 1km radius - can’t fault the Latch!

A good place to eat, also food price, for a good amount of food, also good service 😀

This is a good place to spend a Sunday afternoon with friends, they have sports on the tvs too. Ordered the chicken roast with bread sauce, which was okay, the amount of chicken they gave was a decent portion, the veg could have been better, the roast potatoes were soft rather then having a nice crisp on the outside and was not a fan of the bread sauce. Not the cheapest of meals but okay as a one off for what you get. Yorkshire pudding is an extra rather than being standard. The place had limited options for my vegetarian friend who ordered the burger, which they enjoyed.

Best place on earth, best food, kind staff and honestly what a great place to sit and enjoy a pint

What a horrible place. The staff are amongst the rudest people I’ve met. The have mice, which is normal I suppose, , but given the atrocious service (someone should run the waitress through the drinks menu) and the general attitude of the staff, I won’t go there ever again. I’ve lived close by for 22 years.

As a newbie to the area and with social anxiety I say the service is a little lacking. My fault of course. But I felt despite trying to make eye contact to be served and having the bar staff turn away I feel unless you are a local or look a certain way your just made to feel a creep. And that was my and my experience alone. The gentle man was very kind.

Great spot to watch the football or rugby and have a good pint in a traditional pub...all the time with an option to have a great meal as well. Always a fantastic option when you want to be "surprised" at the fact that there is a key game on when you promised your partner a nice sunday lunch out!!

The service was exceptional. Really great venue for larger groups. It is a pub not a nightclub

Had a delicious lunch, good value for money, service from a bubbly and friendly waitress was very good, and the place had a lovely atmosphere! We will be back! Thank you! Xx

Excellent friendly service, with helpful staff who couldn’t do more to help.The food was delicious, the children’s portions were great.

Delicious Camembert and lovely staff

It was suggested I pay a visit to this pub, if I was in the area. A warm welcome was given from Lauren (we got talking) and we immediately felt comfortable. Food was lovely too. We will be back and would definitely recommend a visit to everyone and I hope Lauren is there on our next visit and yours!

I would go back I liked the atmosphere and its kid friendly

Food was awful chips rock hard over priced should have gone to the chippy next door ! Waitress was overbearing and wouldn't shut up or leave us alone couldn't wait to leave

Great old-school pub vibe great for the sport and a beer with our friends. Services from staff was welcoming but not overbearing Ben was very attentive. The food was fabulous we had the Thai Fish cakes, Holy Basil & Nahm Jim we had not had before but wow what an accompanying sauce. Mains the steak and ale pie and fish and chips were exactly what you would expect and portion sizes were great value for money 5 of 5! Only downside was the rowdy chealsea fans but I guess that's what we get for being so close to the river. Would definitely dine here again

We wanted “somewhat” fancy food in the evening and came across Latchmere. When we got there, only one side of the restaurant was very busy. The other almost empty. When we sat down it was clear to us why, it was a kind of quiz evening or something similar. People were constantly shouting their answers through a microphone in a somewhat drunken euphoria. Unfortunately, given the volume and our non-native English, we couldn't understand the operation even the third time. We then said that we would like to take advantage of the Pike and Pie offer. But I would happily skip the pie and drink some wine. Well, the pie came anyway. Personally, I didn't find the food to be my cup of tea at all, and unfortunately the same thing happened to my companion. Otherwise, the inside of the restaurant, as well as the outside, was relatively appealing, otherwise we wouldn't have chosen it in the end. Because of the volume and all the microphone heckling, the ambience wasn't exactly the best for your dinner for two. Some people probably like the food, but unfortunately not us. It was still beautifully prepared, came out of the kitchen after about 10-15 minutes and was definitely a very good portion. Unfortunately, when we were finished, we sat at the table for ages and waited for the waiter to cash in on us. Well, at some point we went to the counter and paid there.

Took a friend as a birthday treat. Place was pretty empty which wasn't an issue. We were attended to quite quickly which was nice. Unfortunately the food was a serious let down. I tried the duck parfait which was just about OK. I ordered the hake with sweet potato fries & pea puree, my friend ordered the steak. The fish batter was soooo oily I had to blot it with two serviettes! The sweet potato fries were lukewarm, the tartare sauce looked old or like it had been exposed for ages (it was dark on top so i didn't take the chance of trying it!) & my friend's fries were hard. The pea puree tasted like the peas had been taken out the bag & pureed without cooking them first. The best part of the meal was the drinks! A total waste of what it cost but I don't begrudge my friend & treating her. Spent the rest of the day in agony as my belly doesn't like oil so not only was it too much, it was probably also old. The lady said she hopes to see us again but that won't happen. I can get much better value for money from the worst chippy in my own area! I definitely won't be going back there & unfortunately wouldn't recommend it.

Very busy yet the service was great! 🍺 🍺🍺🍺

A microcosm of battersea. You have the runners nursing a freshly earned pint, the South African crew turning out for rugby games, and friendly staff with a rather refined dining area and strong menu. The Guinness is surprisingly nice (not to be taken for granted in this area) and there’s plenty of seating should you fancy an impromptu drink or nibble. A reliable local.

I found the pub very nice polite bar staff and nice food .

I’ve been in this beautiful pub quite a few times, for Sunday roast, fish & chips, drinks and also I’ve organised my Work Christmas party! Staff is absolutely kind, polite and very friendly. Food is delicious, we were 16 eating at the Christmas party and everything was spotless and no complaints from any of my colleagues. The pub itself is clean, nice atmosphere and great choice of beers. See you again soon! Keep up the good work! 😊💪🏻

The food was sooooooo good on Saturday that we are back there 4 days later to celebrate my birthday for lunch!!! Great place, great service, and we all had a great day/night! See you soon!

My wife and myself - together with my brother and a friend - had lunch earlier today at the popular Latchmere Pub on Battersea Park Road. We had booked a table for 1315 hours and just as well we did as most tables were either taken or reserved on our arrival. Despite this, service was excellent throughout our stay. We opted to share some starters (Calamari and Scotch Eggs - the latter were cooked perfectly) and I much enjoyed my Roast Chicken (lovely Bread Sause) as did my fellow diners their respective Roast Beef and Pork mains. These were all excellent - accompanied by a generous Cauliflower Cheese portion - with the only casualty being the Desert Menu as we were all full!! All in all, one of the best Sunday Lunches I have had for a while and - as such - a return visit would certainly be in order.

The customer service was excellent, staff, in particular Joe, were warm and welcoming. Service was prompt and drinks were reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning.

I had a fantastic steak. Cooked to perfection. Our server, Stephanie was brilliant.

Really enjoyed this nice local pub. Service was great, atmosphere was fun. It’s got a nice vibe in here. Really pretty Christmas tree. Loved the Halloumi, omg so good!!! They had a few cider options as well. Oh and they’re dog friendly!

I booked a table for 10 people overall, for a work team Christmas lunch. Contacting the pub through email and phone was seamless, Corbin (manager) was absolutely great at keeping me informed and giving me peace of mind for a large group booking. We sent ahead a pre-booked menu and I couldn't fault it the timings or service at all, even the drinks were served quickly. There was always people around to check in on us and the staff were super friendly. My colleague forgot her phone in the pub after we left, and I was easily able to collect it afterwards since they had it for safekeeping. This has been the best customer experience we've received from a restaurant/bar during the busy festive period. I'd strongly recommend and would return again in the future :)

NO WAY ON EARTH YOU CAN CALL A DOUBLE GIN TONIC A GIN TONIC THAT TASTES LIKE WATER. NO WAY.

Fantastic atmosphere, lovely space to relax and catch up with friends!

Good food , friendly service. Nice place in Battersea.

My friend and I came here for a Sunday Roast. The staff are sooo nice: friendly , warm, welcoming and polite. It was so noticeable. Would return !

I love this pub come all the way from Chelsea to eat here staff always friendly & ready to chat which is so nice when you're on your own, I know I will come back many more times, Happy Christmas 🎄 everyone x

With all honesty I didn't like this place at all. Rude staff, slow service, and uninspired food menu full of pub grabs.

Great pub with a decent selection of food. I really enjoyed the atmosphere in the Latchmere because it feels like and old, traditional pub, but it's well kept and clean. There's plenty of indoor space, enough for a few families with kids (and there's a kid's menu!), but they also have a patio area that also includes covered booths and TVs for watching matches. I had the ribs for dinner, which were surprisingly good, and came with a small side salad and chips. Everything our group ordered looked quite tasty, and the kids happily finished all of their fish and chips order.

Not a terribly diverse crowd, leading to a pretty awkward vibe. Every accent, wealth fund and outfit from the same postcode. 1 bar person really overworked, the other making silly quips as though customers had never been in a pub before.

Excellent pub - lots of tasty drops on tap and the food ain’t bad either

Very poor food, definitely from frozen. Go for a drink there but grab some chips from next door to avoid disappointment and bankruptcy

Goede sfeer, wel druk als er een wedstrijd bezig is. Eten was erg lekker. Personeel zeer vriendelijk!

Have been here for drinks a few times and it's always been a nice atmosphere. The beer garden out the back is lovely. We went for Sunday lunch today and the roasts were gorgeous, probably the best roast I've had at a pub/restaurant. The portions were very generous and each of our meats were very tasty. Everything on the plate was very flavoursome. There was a great offer on for locals for £20 when you spend £60 which made the price very reasonable. Also bonus points for it being super dog friendly, a great local place to bring the dog for a drink.

Lunchtime service. Food was lovely and well presented. One minor grumble they did not have brown sauce to go with my stake and ale pie. The staff were very pleasant. For us, we wanted to catch up, so the atmosphere was quiet, which was perfect. I gather it is a very popular social point and has a very busy vibe at weekends and evenings.

Busy pub but the Sunday roast and fish and chips were terrible. The vegetables were the only thing we ended up eating. We did tell the staff and they just apologised but didn't take anything off the bill. If you're just going for drinks then great but I wouldn't recommend eating there

Great beer and atmosphere.. love this pub

Wonderful lunch today Roasts of the day amazing and Yorkshire puddings fabulous Great size servings with lovely service Great Bloody Mary Highly recommended

Old school pub with a really great crowd. The staff are very kind hearted. One of the few places in London where you can get away from rowdiness and have a really pleasant time.

I absolutely loved my experience at The Latchmere! The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was simply outstanding, each dish bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. The ambiance was delightful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Super dog friendly. And let's talk about the birthday offer – what a fantastic deal! For just £20, we got so much value for our money. It was a generous package that included not only a scrumptious meal but also a memorable celebration. I truly felt pampered and appreciated as a guest. I highly recommend The Pub to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience. Whether it's a special occasion or a casual outing, this place has it all – great service, mouthwatering food, and a charming setting. I can't wait to return and make more wonderful memories there! Cheers to The Pub for exceeding my expectations! 🍻

Love coming here for drinks! Only heard of this place quite recently and wish I’d known of it sooner - lovely pub, great atmosphere and awesome service. Would recommend coming here for drinks at any time of day!

Very nice place and good good :)

Generally a fantastic pub, good vibe with great staff. Had a bad experience - booked a 10 seater online, upon arrival a rude manager (bartender?) said we absolutely had to order food and this was on the T’s and C’s of the booking. Have 2 seperate confirmation emails that don’t mention this. Booked through Google and explained that we didn’t see this and couldn’t guarantee every person would eat. Was super rude and this was out of character for such a great establishment. Left shortly after to a pub down the road. Will be back, but maybe check yourself before treating customers this way. No problem with the T’s and C’s but just with the way it was done.

A delightful beer garden on a sunny Sunday. Perfect to stop in to after a walk round Battersea park for some food and drinks. Bar staff were very friendly

Great local pub with an emphasis on good pub grub and a good range of beers and wines. I’ve been a number of times now for weekend roasts as well as mid week dinner and drinks with both friends, young children, and older relatives and usually there’s is something to please everyone - highlights include the roasts, imaginative alternative mains, and nice touches like scotch eggs and other bar snacks. Recommend.

Had a very nice lunch here. Delicious. Staff were very friendly. Nice crowd around. 👌🏻 Bought to many Yorkshire puddings🙈🙈🙈

Warning: they don’t have the sound on in the beer garden when you watch sports.

I was excited to visit because of the rave reviews - it was a decent roast but I wouldn't say the best I've ever had! The food was well seasoned and the giant Yorkshires were perfect, and portions were huge. But it could have been hotter, the slices of meat were on the thin side and the roast potatoes could have been crispier.

The Latchmere is a landmark for good reason. It’s a thoroughly professional modern pub with lovely staff, always helpful, great beers and good pub food. Plus any other drink you could care for and full of friendly locals.

Perfect place for having a beer and sunday Rost - Booking is recommanded on sunday.

Very bad experience. Food quality is under average.

Recommended by a local in the area. It's only OK though for me. Food was disappointing, although looked good. Drinks standard. Lots of nice seating areas and good beer garden in the back. Lots of screens to watch sports if something is on.

I keep trying and going back here but the food is just dreadful now. The burger was so overcooked it was like eating bullets. Chicken pie was like dog food encased in soggy pastry with a very strange tasting gravy. Service is hit and miss. I left my food and when the waiter collected my plate he didn't even mention anything or ask if everything was ok. The staff are under trained and one waitress in particular was very condescending and woke. We won't return and I urge you not to waste your money.

Good atmosphere and good service. Interesting watching the locals attend with there fashion dogs small enough to fit in a bag OR looked after enough to be brought to the pub on a child’s buggy. I left feeling out of place for not having a dog with me. Needless to say the dog breed were not common breeds.
