Pratt & Payne in Lambeth

Pratts is a great pub with absolutely lovely staff who are always kind and welcoming of everyone who comes by. A fab beer garden. Just refurbished too.

I have lived and worked in Streatham for over 5 years. I walk past this bar every day and have been there a few times. I always wanted to celebrate my birthday there. This year I decided to do it and came in to ask how I would do it and details. I was advised that I should send an email. I sent an email requesting a date and time for my event but never received a response. I decided to go there and check if they received it, to my surprise they said no but there was no problem they would book the table in person. The manager responsible on the day confirmed the reservation and that everything was ok for the requested day and time. I was calm and happy to be able to invite my family and friends. People coming from Brazil, Spain and France confirmed their presence. On Wednesday, May 17th, I decided to stop by to ask how I would do with the cake and other details. The manager of the moment opened her laptop to check and with clear words said: I'm sorry but there is no reservation in your name for May 20th. I panicked and insisted that she check it again because it was not possible, again she said in clear words that there was nothing in my name. Obviously I got stressed, obviously I got out of my mind, there were only two days left for my event and everyone was already invited to come to this address. In the end she assured me that she couldn't do anything for me and not even an apology was dry and short "There's nothing I can do for you". Unfortunately didn't get the name of the person who made the reservation for me but I can recognize him but I don't think that will change my utter disappointment and frustration with this establishment. Well, I only had one way out. I called my sister (who is on vacation here to celebrate my birthday) to go with me in search of another place. I received several NO and that it was too late and with many people. Thank God I found a pizzeria and they were super friendly and polite. They reserved a table for 30 people. I don't even want an apology from them, I just hope and wish that no one goes through what I went and think twice before thinking to organize an event with them. Pratts And Payne

Scottish woman working here has no business working in any customer facing role. Teach her some manners or get rid of her.

It looks really cool from the outside, Art Deco, old antic pubs usually are (now portabello judging by beer offering and signage), Inside the decor lets it down which was a shame, nothing special and quite tired. Lack of lighting. However…..I was there for the rugby, really great atmosphere and it was busy. We had food which was a decent choice and nice enough. Prices I found reasonable on food and drink. The service though was fantastic and made it really for me. Think some investment is needed. I’d return at some point again.

…which you can find in Streatham, this place a great choice of drinks plus a decent food menu. Decor is as expected, staff pretty friendly and the beer garden is nice too.

I ordered the half roasted chicken Sunday roast. I received a chicken breast. When I told the server they said the menu was wrong and I can take it how it was. I waitress was great but I the kitchen should know better!

First visit yesterday and will not be the last. First thing that I realised was how friendly and approachable staff and management were. Nothing was too much trouble. Ordered starters and was not disapointed. The salmon was delicious and generous in portion size. My son ordered the Sausage roll .Tried some .....lovely. Now for the main....... the Roast Turkey was moist,lovely flavour and once again plenty of it. what a selection of vegatables so nice and a pleasure to eat. And not forgetting a scrummy Yorkshire pudding , good gravy and the trimmings. My son had the Roast Pork that was good as well. We both left very happy and full tummys. Thank you !!!!!

Hi I was in you pub yesterday I had some potatoes and gravy really nice I wanted to thank the chef a very well done

We chose to go to Pratt’s & Payne today as they have a vegan option for roasts and desserts. It was one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a pub/restaurant in a long time/ever. The soft drinks on tap were watery. They didn’t have a kids menu. They ran out of fish. The roast dinner was the most bland meal I have ever eaten. The beef looked like pork. They ran out of desserts. The pub is also in dire need of a refurbishment!! Staff friendly enough but we definitely won’t be returning.

Disappointing, waited 35 mins for table, food over cooked and waited over 30 mins for drinks order which did not arrived so we left

Obviously lockdown 3.0 has hit us all super hard but the one thing I’ve missed the most is a decent roast in my local on a Sunday. Thankfully P&P have saved the day and come through with the best takeaway roast I could have asked for. I went for the pork which melted in my mouth, the potatoes were perfectly crispy and fluffy and the yorkies were out of this world. Exactly how I remember Sunday’s tasting BC (before corona) and has set me up for a new week. It’s also really reasonably priced AND I got to enjoy it from the comfort of my own sofa.

Really friendly staff and very tasty chicken burgers, great choice of beers and a pleasant beer garden. Thanks very much

Last orders were called and we were told to leave literally immediately, even though the bar will happily let you pay for drinks a minute or two earlier. Staff were shouting at us to leave and then one of the door staff then started banging their knuckles on our table to get us to hurry up. Went to use the toilet before leaving and the same door staff told me this was pissing them off and they wanted us straight out. We had been no trouble and were having a quiet pint and would have left within five minutes of them calling last orders so why do they have to be so hostile to their customers? Totally unnecessary.

possibly one of the better pubs in Streatham, good for Sunday lunch, always nice selection of beers well kept, friendly staff

Great DJ here at the weekend and cool vibe with a good mix of people who like to get up and dance. Fab

Love this place when it's quiet or when it's busy but the best time is during the week when it's a little more mellow. Good food

Vinimos aquí para un domingo asado y fue el mejor de todos. La opción vegetariana era divina, buena cantidad y calidad a buen precio. El chef es muy feliz y amable, nos ofrece más salsa y la trajo. El personal del bar es muy amable y accesible. Sin duda volveremos!

Este pub anuncia a través de dos tableros fuera de eso, muestra fútbol. Pero no logra señalar que lo hace sin el sonido. Una de las mejores noches en el fútbol de clubes británicos y cuando se pregunta a Barmaid, ¿por qué no hay sonido? Su respuesta es "no estaban permitidos". Realmente molesto. La última vez que la excusa fue, no podemos encontrar el control remoto '. Este no es un pub para ver fútbol. No fue una noche de preguntas. El 90% de los clientes estaban allí para ver el partido. Iremos a otro lado la próxima vez. ¿Por qué molestarse en tener un 2. Pantalla de 5 m 2?

Siempre me ha gustado P&P: es un pub brillante con un gran ambiente y, por lo general, nuestro pub preferido para reunirse con amigos. Decidimos visitarnos para un asado el domingo pasado y puedo decir honestamente que fue el mejor asado que he tenido. Fui por el cordero, un amigo por cerdo y los otros dos en nuestro grupo por veganos, que por cierto es muy difícil encontrar un buen asado vegano en el sur. Todos estábamos muy felices cuando nuestros platos se pusieron abajo y la comida estuvo fuera de este mundo para todos nosotros. Teniendo en cuenta que estaba ocupado ese día debido a los deportes, el personal fue muy atento y muy servicial. Nuestra camarera era súper encantadora e incluso hablamos con el chef acerca de la introducción de la comida vegana. Él nos recomendó que era nuevo, lo cual fue un shock para nosotros ya que la calidad de la comida era increíble.Sin duda volveremos de nuevo, para una fiesta de viernes, domingo a mediodía y bebidas a mitad de semana. Un pub encantador!

Estuve aquí hace unas semanas y tuvo un increíble asado de domingo. Ambiente realmente relajado y agradable. Pedimos algunas sangrientas de Mary y nos atendió una simpática camarera llamada Emear que hizo los cócteles exactamente a nuestro gusto e incluso los trajo en lugar de nosotros esperando en el bar.No puedo recomendar este lugar lo suficiente y volveré 100% pronto.

This place was recommended by a friend. Was greeted with a nice warm smile from the chap behind the bar. We ordered food. Sausage and mash and a burger and had some halloumi fries to start. The food was fast and efficient and delicious. My husband finished before me and an irish watress went to pick up his plate but I said I wasn't quite finished yet. She said it was ok and I could still keep going to which I replied "You shouldn't clear the table until everyone has finished". She said ok and muttered "For f***s sake as she walked off. My husband heard this too. We were having a really good time and for this to be how it ended just wasn't on, so I feel mixed about this place.

Muy buen lugar buscando, pero la comida era atroz! Tuve papas halloumi que vi frías ya que nadie fue a recogerlas. No habrían sido buenos de todos modos, eran tan duros que era como comer dedos de espantapájaros. Las croquetas de jamón de jamón eran un poco más sabrosas pero tenían cartílago duro o algo así.

The prospect of popping into your local pub alone whilst 7 months pregnant is usually fairly unremarkable. Not, however, when your local is the Pratts & Payne, and certainly not when you’re served by Charlie.

Queríamos un lugar informal para cenar una noche en los veranos Streatham donde estábamos con nuestra hija y nuestro perro. Ella recomendó este y fuimos. Por desgracia, cuando nos dieron nuestras bebidas y una mesa perfecta en el jardín nos dijeron que el extractor de la cocina se había roto y no podían servir la comida! Tragedia! Pero teníamos la idea de salir para comer pizza y como nos gustó la mesa del jardín y las bebidas nos preguntó si podíamos llevar la pizza. . No hay problema!. Platos y cubiertos fueron gentilmente proporcionó (gracias Charlie) y todo el personal era maravilloso y servicial. Se trata de comer allí otra vez!

La comida era genial, pero el personal del bar decepcionaban

We always go here when we're in the area. A good atmosphere, friendly staff and a great beer garden!

Food is OK. Service can be really slow from the waiters as they seem overstretched when busy. nice local pub in streatham...Always a great place to meet up

Lovely food lots of meat and gravy. The carrots and parsnips were a little hard but everything else was delicious. The Yorkshire puddings were huge and very tasty. If you have room for a pudding - recommend the chocolate brownie is really good.

This was a substitute for any of the cafes in the area (as all of the cafe's nearby seemed to close at 7). Really enjoyed it here. It was an early December visit and they had nice soothing Christmas music, and being a Monday it was pretty quiet, but I really loved this place.

Good pub with a good atmosphere, great selection of beer and some nice bar snacks. The wings are good too. Games to play.

I've been here countless times over the last couple of years. I think it's a good boozer. Nice, friendly staff. Great beers. Nice ambience. The food has been a little bit and miss, but does the job.

I had a really nice time in there! Fashionable place, friendly and welcoming staff! Also a quiet interesting garden on the back!

Llegó a probar la comida festival de comida y me decepcionó un poco, ya que la comida no era como se ha descrito. Los arancini suponía tener abundante mozzarella y sino de queso de cabra, que realmente no les gusta - no debería ser permitido utilizar ingredientes no mencionados! También pedimos la panceta de cerdo en tempura, que era muy agradable, pero se suponía que era salsa barbacoa y nos dieron dulces chili, no es un tema de enorme sé pero es la falta de atención al detalle, la ensalada utilizada como guarnición estaba desgastado y, en general, no era genial.

Vine aquí con un par de personas para Asado del domingo, que era bastante buena y bastante abundante. El precio era justo. Sentamos en el jardín de la cerveza, que era agradable y soleado y no demasiado lleno. Comida llegaba con bastante rapidez. Nachos eran un poco extraño, aunque probablemente una cosa británica.

Trajo aquí por sus amigos como un buen lugar para comer, pero no, no, no. . . Debe ser mejor. Sin duda debe haber un lugar más limpio. Algunos consejos para los propietarios: si se sirve comida afuera en el jardín de la cerveza daría...

Tenía unas pintas y un almuerzo en Pratt & Payne un sábado por la tarde. De no perderse y dirigirse hacia el otro bar de al lado. . .

Después de vivir en Streatham durante muchos años he pasado demasiado muchas noches en Pratts, pero con la perspectiva de alejando inminente pensamos regresar en una última vez.

Pobre desde el momento en que entramos. Sucia y mal gestionado. La mitad del menú de comida estaba disponible a las 8pm y el servicio en el bar era pésimo con los servidores de grosero. En resumen, un lugar para evitar! ! ! 😡 😡

First time in this pub and I wasn't disappointed. Didn't eat the food but the ambience was warm and welcoming. A lovely place to have a few drinks and a chit-chat. Quirky deco and lovely vintage pieces. I would defo recommend going.

How lucky are we Streatham inhabitants to have so many great pubs bars and restaurants to choose from - the area in SW16 just gets better and has become a destination for other surrounding areas to. What's not to like about Pratt & Payne, a fantastic selection of beers, good food, shabby chic decor. I recommend the booths right at the front by the windows. At the back is the more formal dining area but it's casual enough for jeans when you are eating. The good is typical quality pub grub - delicious fish and chips or charcuterie platters to share are some examples of an regularly changed menu. Try it out you may want to stay in Streatham a little longer.

Like so many Antics this has the shabby chic vibe going with interesting old, shabby and up cycled furniture. Bar staff are always friendly, great garden out the back, decent beer selection on tap and in the fridge. Had a few snacks here but never the food so can't comment to much join that. Bets pub in Streatham though for atmosphere and size, try the Holland Tringham next door afterwards for a walk on the wild side!

This is my local, good beer, great atmosphere, lovely decor! You can go anytime for a relaxing drink with friends or family. The only thing that lets this place down is that they do not open for lunch, shame really because in summer i think they would make a killing!

Wandered down Streatham after moving close by and wasn't sure what we wanted and decided randomly on this place.. Turned out to be a nice surprise. The food was very good quality and the wine and gin and tonics were top notch. all for a decent price. I had the duck and it was very good. Steak was nice also. I'll come back

Same people have taken over lots of old bars or opened new ones mostly in South London. They have a formula and that formula works for me. The interior looks haphazard but it's comfortable. The bar staff were very pleasant and happy to chat. The beer was cold after a hot day. Didn't eat here but I have in some of their other places and I enjoyed the meals. Would I go again. Definitely.

The food is ok. Beer is good. The staff are generally rude and miserable unless they fancy you. Too cool for school the whole thing, yet it's not - just run down and dirty.

Lived in the area, frequented here quite a lot! Good local pub with a nice selection of beers and ales. Staff are good, usually don't have to wait too long to be served. There are two screens if you are interested in watching the football/rugby. If there is any sport on you can usually ask them to put it on, which is great! The menu has changed since my last visit, not as good as before. More gastro-pub than traditional pub food, they do a Sunday roast which is quite nice. Would say the food is on the expensive side for what it is. Nice court yard out the back if the sun is shining. Its a really great pub, if you're in Streatham and need of food or drink, you certainly can't go wrong with The Pratts & Payne!

Went here again with my family and it delivered the goods! Took my wife and she was impressed. It manges to do the crossover between pub and restaurant and do it well. Selections of both food and drink are in my opinion, very good. As my daughter says its far more welcoming for a family or females than most SW16 pubs.

Been for a beer a couple of times. Had the Brooklyn Lager on tap. Easy going staff. Sausage rolls are delicious but at £1.50 for less than half is a bit pricy. Other than that not to bad

called in for Sunday lunch, excellent service,friendly staff, large servings good value for money.Next time we visit this area will definatley call in again

Always a really good atmosphere in this pub. Really cool furniture and plenty of seating/tables, so there's not much issue with finding somewhere to sit. The garden is decent - especially considering where it is located, and has plenty of flowers in the summer, however you are right next to the fire escape from the upper floors so not ideal. Plenty of different types of ales, craft beer, and scotch meaning that this is a great place to come and drink! The food is excellent and reasonably priced, with a large portion size to make sure you're satisfied.Great pub for drinks with friends, but probably not the most suited to family visits...I'd definitely recommend it.

Been here a few times now but always leave disappointed. It's quite a nice venue, with its quirky decor and big bar, in the heart of Streatham high street. But everything is expensive, which is ridiculous considering you're not in central London here. It makes you feel a bit reluctant to stay too long and enjoy yourself.The staff always take forever to pour drinks, bring food and often mess up orders. The food options are really limited (good luck getting anything veggie - they clearly don't know it's 2016!!). It's sad when you could get a better burger (meat or veggie) in the grubby, rundown Wetherspoons next door. And you'd pay half the price. If you're looking for a good pub in Streatham with better food and a nicer atmosphere, try the White Lion, Bank, or The Bull instead. All way better.

I've tried to go for food twice. Once had a great veggie burger in the pub garden. Once came on a Sunday. No veggie roast (sadly usual) but no other veggie option on the entire menu! Disappointing.

We visited Pratt's & Payne probably half a dozen times while we lived briefly in Streatham/Norbury in London earlier this year. It's a pub with a restaurant out the back. We can't really comment on the pub as we only ever went there for meals, but we can say we were never disappointed with our dinners.We must have tried out pretty much the whole menu over the course of our visits and the food was always absolutely top drawer. There were many delicious dishes but our favourite was the rhubarb crumble for dessert. Yum, yum.We were served by various staff and they were always attentive, helpful and informative. The atmosphere is relaxed and even if the pub itself is rowdy you can't really hear it back in the restaurant area.We were so impressed by the food that we went out of our way to congratulate the chef before we left the last time. Very highly recommended.

Came here with friends on Sunday. Nice enough pub, staff are nice but I paid the most I have ever paid for a roast for a small, dry piece of chicken, undercooked carrots and undercooked and dry potatoes. I was 14 quid down and could have done better myself.

We end up in this place at least twice a week. It's a great pub, very chilled and has anice vibe to it. The staff are all very friendly and the food is also good.Never have difficulty getting a seat.

We went here for what was supposed to be a special Sunday lunch. We ordered beef roasts which took an hour to come even though the place was empty. It was tiny, freezing (cheap carrots and cabbage veg not cooked at all, potatoes had been microwaved) and a rip off. We wanted to send it back and get our money back but had a baby (increasingly upset because of the very long wait) we didn't want to drag to somewhere else to eat (we were ravenous by this point) so just ate it and left. The staff here are nice but the food is shocking and there's no excuse for such a long wait.

This is a great pub, with a good choice of beers and very friendly staff. It's a great option for a night out in Streatham - as a local it's one of my favourites.

Great ambience with comfortable sofas, a couple of booths and some books and games laying around. Usually good music and good quality food.Nice beer selection and the beer garden is big and even though the pub is in the high street you can't hear the traffic.

I really want to like this place (especially as it was one home to the magnificent Firkin) and it has so much potential.The bar itself is nicely set out though I have to say the vintage decor is not for me.My main problem is vintage does not have to mean dirty which I often feel this place is.The beer is ok but could be kept better and they stock far too many cottage ales which a frankly bad.Now Antic (the owners) have purchased Clarence and Fredericks brewery hopefully things might improve on the beer front.An ok bottle selection also helps

I went there on Saturday with 6 friends for a birthday meal...the nicest and most reasonably priced meal I've had in London for a long time! It was really busy but not too busy...lovely venue, lovely staff and even better food. Considering how busy they were we were expecting quite a wait for our food but it was really speedy and the staff were lovely. Great atmosphere, great place. They made my friend very happy! Thank you!

...Well, my sisters birthday anyways. My sister visited from the north today for her birthday and I wanted to show her some of the delights of SW so decided after reading some reviews this would be our place of choice. It was a mistake. The bar staff are totally incompetent, sorry, but they are. We ordered and payed separately (3 people) but payed at the same time and asked for them all to be brought together. This message was obviously not passed on to the kitchen, which became apparent when we got our first meal, some 25 minutes before the final meal came. Obviously by this time mine was freezing and my sisters was freezing. Luckily (or something) our friends was cold as well so at least we were all equal on this front. They both ordered chicken supreme with asparagus, truffle potato salad, pea puree and chive butter. Step one of making a puree would be, in my humble opinion would definitely be, actually making it a puree. Not taking mushy peas and bashing them a bit more. The truffle potatoes where made with cheap truffle oil, it was very obvious. The chive butter on one dish had run away, but the chicken was okay. And just okay. If the dish hadn't been described so eloquently then we wouldn't have been so disappointed because it wasnt horrendous, just distinctly average. I ordered Hickory BBQ ribs with spring onion slaw, which hadn't seen even a pinch of seasoning and fries. The ribs came dry (WHAT?!?!) and with a really watery tasting and looking 'BBQ' sauce on the side. I'm sure someone thought it looked cute during recipe testing but no. The fries were fried. The manager, after being made aware of our very disapointing evening, (via me, a little aggressively I admit, sorry bout it) advised he 'just wanted to let us know he gave a sh#t'. Awh. How sweet. He didn't know any other system more effective than their current one, and he's been a manager for 15 years, yknow. One I could recommend would be, anything other than what they're doing now. Alternatively, taking the order first and then getting people to pay at the end of their meal, also known as, table service, is very effective. The free 'sorry for being awful desserts' were alright but nothing to write home about...and I did get some good instagram photo's that made it look like a good time so it wasn't all bad.

Went on Sunday late afternoon .No Guinness ,Two of the Ciders were off and one other Beer. Bad start. Frankly, some of the Staff in this Pub look like they're on Drugs.The slow and way too casual demeanour alongside the glazed eyes lead me to this conclusion .Whilst the Food has improved the Waiting service hasn't .Pub wasn't cleanI so want this Pub to succeed. Could be so much better with some proper leadership

You know how horror films start out with a slight sense of unease, then rise to a definite knowledge that something is going wrong, up to a climax where full nightmare is realised? That's how my latest visit to Pratt & Payne worked out.Went to the bar to order a couple of drinks and small dishes as part of the Streatham food festival. Suspicions were raised when I saw the bar tender faff something shocking over splitting a lady's bill over two cards. I had that wariness, "that really shouldn't be taking that long..." Finally he came to serve me and my patience began to wear thing. He moved so slow it was like he was moving through jelly. Thank god I was next in line to be served else I would have left, though looking back, that would have been a lucky escape. But no one gets those in horror films.Back to my table, dirty table, with crumbs all over the seat. Saw another group arrive, select a table then move to another, their first one was dirty also. Their second choice was dirty too but less so, so they moved the empty plates and glasses off it and sat down. Third group joined and took the second party's first choice since, although dirty, was cleaner than the others which now had stacked dishes on them. Ominous signs...After about an hour sat there, party two were served. We complained and were told shortly shortly. Then party three was served so I went to cancel our order. Turns out they'd given my food to a table outside (at the back of the bar), despite me pointing out at the time of ordering that we were sitting at the very front of the bar. Genius. I was then asked to sit down and wait in order to get my money back. Five minutes later a guy came and handed me my money back.What a disaster! No food in the middle of a food festival! What a nightmare!!!

I love this pub for its quirky decoration comfy sofas and great music. They also have a great range of drinks and lovely staff!

This is a cool venue, with good food, outside area, authentic traditional bar and lots going on. One of the antic boutique chain/franchise (e.g. Antelope, Balham Bowls Club, Tooting Tram, Effra Social etc) which has good themes and good quality environment/service and food.

Couldn't recommend this pub more, went for dinner in Saturday night and the whole vibe was so welcoming. Despite the fact they were incredibly busy the staff were attentive and service was great. The live DJ added a great atmosphere, and the meal we had (macaroni cheese and pork Rillette) was delicious! Would definitely go back!

The staff are always friendly, although when we have been on the weekend, generally they have looked understaffed?/rushed off their feet - so it can take a while to get served, although they are apologetic about it.The food has been good 3 out of 4 occasions, we had been told that they had just changed the chef, so maybe he was taking time to settle in? We have been back since and the food was back to the previous high standard.They have a range of beers and wines and the staff are knowledgeable about all of the products that they offer.The atmosphere has been good whenever we have been in, sometime live music, or good background music. The décor is quirky, but works well in the venue.

Sometimes looks very empty and at others it's completely rammed. Unpredictable but staff seem very nice although on the verge of hipster snobbery. Don't become a Hoxton attitude venue because this is South London.

We've eaten here so many times, and only once has the food been a bit disappointing. End of the day on a sunday when they were running low on roasts. Every other time we have been impressed with the menu, the meals and the portions. Definitely quality over quantity (but I am not a fan of roasts that are piled 10" high on a plate so that works for me). Most recently we had our NCT group 1st year old birthday and the staff gave us our own little area and even put play mats down for the kids. It's a really nice little touch and I'd recommend it as a great Sunday pub if you have children and a passion for good old fashion Brit fare.

I like this place. They have a good selection of beers. Food is pretty good to. It does seem chef dependent so if a new chef comes in the food menus may well change. The decor is quite interesting and I must admit the first time I visited it wasn't my cup of tea but the place has really grown on me. They got a band to play there for hallloween and all the staff dressed up. It was a great atmosphere.Happy to recommend.

Good variety of beers, fun space, good atmosphere. This is one of the pubs I try and go to as much as any in Streatham, owned by the same people as the BBC in Balham and the Tram and Social. Quirky decor!

I live locally and they've made a few excellent changes here recently. This includes a new menu with really great food. I can honestly say that I had the best beef stroganoff I've ever had here the other day (and I've had a few in my time!). The onglet is also a great choice. There is always a lively atmosphere, and you have a choice between the main part of the pub (usually the busier bit) vs. the more restaurant like tables at the back. I will be back again and again!

This newly rejuvenated pub has come into it's own. Excellent food, friendly ambience and attentive staff. Thoroughly worth a visit.

Pratt's and Payne is definitely one of the better places to go for a drink in Streatham. They have a great, changing selection of beers and the bar food is decent. They also try to keep things interesting, with a quiz, vintage fairs, record club and more - I hope they carry on in this vein!

Booked a table for a Saturday night. Some mix up meant that table was not available. Staff then accommodated us in the bar area and pushed a couple of tables together. The service was good as it was busy. Food good value and good quality. Burgers were rated highly. Not a huge selection of beers on tap, nor was there a great selection of wines. Mind you , you should be able to get something that suits!

This pub is my go to in Streatham. Always a good beer on tap and friendly atmosphere. Good to have it on the high street.

This is a great place to go for drinks and bar snacks. The food is average pub food. We've tried their Sunday roast (not good), sandwiches (ok) & starters (ok). The fact that there is a restaurant at the back is misleading. But the atmosphere is good fun, so simply visit for drinks rather than food.The place is called Pratts & Payne, by the way, not Pratt & Payne. Freudian slip maybe.

Went here for food as part of Streatham Festival. The portions were absolutely minuscule and a complete rip off. This pub is too overpriced and pretentious for streatham.

I went here for the first time to treat my friend to some wine and food for her birthday. When i first got served it was fine, pleasant staff however when i went to order some food the bar was a little bit busier then before. I'm kidding you not all 3 staff served everyone around me for 15 mins. When they went to do it again to serve someone who had just that moment walked in i lost my rag. Come on guys these are the basics, i felt like I must smell or something! I walked out, went to Perfect Blend instead who served me straight away. I hate bad customer service.

Was really excited about eating here but bitterly disappointed by the food. Waited an hour for tasteless unappetising food. Do not eat here if you are a vegetarian.

A huge space, but nicely done. Have been there for early evening drinks and for a Friday night. Good food and a relaxed mix of people. It's becoming our local.

Really enjoyed my visits to this pub, good atmosphere and very welcoming. The food isn't gourmet more simple pub food but our meal was good, steaks and burger and haloumi sandwich for the vegetarian. There is not a wide choice of food just enough to provide a bit of variety. We ate here because it was convenient and we were enjoying the friendly atmosphere. If that's what you are looking for I would recommend it. Free live music too!

Visited pratts and Payne for Sunday lunch. It was an utter disaster and I am confident in saying we won't be going again. We waited 2 hours for cold, tasteless food. It is an utterly chaotic place, the staff didn't seem particularly bothered that we had been waiting so long for our food. There are many good places to eat in Streatham now and this clearly isn't one of them.

I booked the Christmas menu for lunch for me and some friends for the Saturday before Christmas. We wanted the Christmas menu advertised at http://www.prattsandpayne.com/christmas/ (although how long this will stay online I don't know...). I confirmed with the manager via email that we could have the Christmas menu in the more private and intimate restaurant area and when I asked if I could please bring my own crackers, hats etc was told that we wouldn't need to bring any of our own as they had plenty. However when we arrived our reservation had been moved into the main pub which was empty and had no atmosphere... There weren't even any decorations up let alone any attempt to provide the nice festive things we were told we wouldn't have to bring ourselves, and a sarcastic response when I enquired - it's a pub so I don't expect it, but if I'm told not to worry bringing my own then please don't roll your eyes at me when I ask whether the things the pub manager has promised me are going to appear!Then we were told the Christmas menu wasn't available and we could have the regular bar menu only. So we left and went to the Manor Arms who bent over backwards at really short notice when they were packed to give us a lovely Christmas meal. Sorry P&P, I've enjoyed drinking with you but if your staff can't even be bothered to try and deliver what the pub manager has promised me by email then frankly I can't see why I should be bothered to drink with you in future.

I've really enjoyed Sunday lunch here. I felt the food served was on-par with the likes of the Railway and Manor Arms, but the prices are much cheaper at Pratts and Payne. Love the quirky interior - though if you go to the back, on Sunday lunch times, it's much nicer than the front with candle lit tables. I will return and would recommend it to others too.

Went to Pratts & Payne yesterday for Sunday lunch and it was great - the food was really tasty, we didn't have to wait long, the staff were really friendly and the price was really good value. it had a nice relaxed vibe, busy but not too busy!! I will be going back again soon ... and will try to persuade my Clapham/Balham friends to venture here as they won't be disappointed!!!!I'm proud to have this pub on the High Road .. exactly what Streatham needs!

This was a great little pub - really atmospheric, great food and service. Then it changed managers and things appear to have gone downhill. The drinks are still good and the sausage rolls are still tremendous - the food is okay. What I really take exception to is waiting 1 hr and 15 minutes for a roast dinner with no apology. Bumping into a couple of ladies in the toilets, both commented on how they'd waited over and hour for their lunch also. Finally when our lunch arrived the waitress asked, "Did you order food?" and I said, "Yes, over and hour ago!" and she just said, "Yeah...er...it's been pretty busy." So what?! My parents ran pubs all of their lives and that sort of wait with no forewarning or apology is unacceptable.Seriously guys - you need to sort out the waiting times, pronto!

I have been very pleased with the quality of fare on offer here .i have had both evening and Sunday dinner meals .There is an good atmosphere , the service was great and the bar staff were keen to share their knowledge of their beer with you , including tasterswill be back again shortly

A nice shabby chic style bar on streatham high street. Good atmosphere, and comfy seating.Have eaten here twice and both times the menu and food quality let it down, with poor choiceand badly cooked food on some dishes. Desserts were pretty uneatable, with rock hard summer pudding and Eton mess with no meringuein, it was just some tasteless cream with blobs of strawberry in. Although the food was reasonably priced.A really nice atmosphere with a great social atmosphere and good location. Good for a nice drink with friends.

With a solid combination of good beer, good food, friendly staff and quirky decor, Pratts & Payne is as classy as it is eccentric. Would highly recommend for a hassle free evening with heaps of atmosphere.

I generally like antics pubs (the parent company owner) but I would say that this one is more shabby than anything. The service is consistently disappointing and expensive for the area. We asked the bar staff to turn the music down at one point, it was very loud considering how early it was and we were told rather sharply "we are creating an atmosphere". A few members of staff are usually rather curt at the best of times.I have visited a few times and the food is usually very good but we have had to wait a ridiculous amount of time on several occasions when our food has been given to the wrong table or our order got lost.The pub has good potential but requires new and more enthusiastic staff.

I've been a big Antic pub fan (the company that own this pub) since their great pubs such as the Antelope in Tooting SW17 and the Balham Bowling Club offered great Ale and really great food. I don't know if I caught them on an off Monday night but the chef must have been having a mare. The driest, most over cooked burger I've had in london in a long time! I can't help but think a Streatham kebab shop may have offered a tastier burger! The 'barcelona' burger promised so much, delivered little. Sorry guys, but ordered medium, arrived grey and well done. The thickest slice of chorizo ever on top and 'manchego' cheese apparently on top. I did feed back to your staff when they asked how the food was but little offer of an apology!This is a superb pub for Streatham, ambience is good, choice of Ale is great but really let down by the food. How can the Antelope be so good for food and this not follow through? Shame. My wife's pasta was pretty good but nothing special either.

Streatham is up and coming, people still believe it's rough but head to this pub.Great pub, really friendly staff and good choice of beers and cider. Pub has a lovely décor, feels like it should be in central London. Head over for the pub quiz once a week, good fun and great place for friends to meet.

A great pub with quirky decor. Streatham is an up and coming area and this pub is testament to that. Lovely friendly staff, great beers and ales, good food and none of this minimum spend rubbish when paying for drinks on your card. They are starting to put DJ's on too which is brilliant and much needed. Highly recommend this place.

I have been here three or four times since moving into the neighbourhood six months ago. While there is nothing particularly noteworthy the service, food and drink are all consistently good. One of those places where you get exactly what you expect and are glad of it. A bit more attention to detail and this could be a stand out place.

Nice little place, with some slighty odd decro. Bisciut to whoever finds the door to no where.. Lovely food recommend the burger, yummy and very filling. Good offer on ciders and beers. The Devon Mist is a very nice pint of cider, I'd say!! Recommended.

I wouldn't expect a place like this in this area... When you go in straight away you feel an atmosphiere that bring you away from the area! Very particular interior decoration... I liked the idea of decorating with bit and pieces like if you are in an old house... Then of course you don't know what food you are going to be served... Wow! I order the lamb shoulder with courgettes rise and mushrooms.... It was so tender that only to press with the fork it would brake it... The courgettes they was like butter the mushrooms very taste and the rise suit perfectly with the dishes!! My girlfriend took a chicken brest with potatoes and cabbage and was the same of my dishes a little bit crispy on the skin but very jucy and tender on the inside!! If you are near this area and want to have a place different from this area;) this is the place!!

Love the pub- been here a few times and enjoyed the décor and great selection of beers. Went there for the first time for dinner on a Friday evening. Started out fairly early- attentive staff to start with, but as the place filled up the wait got longer and longer. 50minutes between ordering our ice creams and getting them! But it was worth the wait, I can tell you. The small menu offered enough choice, and all dishes were cooked very well, especially the squid. And the best bit has to be the ice cream! Homemade, cheap and incredibly delicious. Salted caramel, blood orange sorbet, you name it. Worth coming back for, even if I had to wait an hour next time!

I visited the pub for dinner in January, the atmosphere was nice and relaxedThe bar had a good selection of beers and wines, I had a good glass of merlot and my husband had his favourite Belgian beer.We shared the mussels as starter which were very fresh and delicious and both had the burger for main, which was also really tasty.Portions are huge so we didn't have any room for dessert, sadly.It's more expensive than the average local pub, but that's the price to pay for good quality fresh food and drinks and well worth every penny.Will back soon to try the Sunday roast!

You get the impression that the owner of this pub sat down with a laptop and googled "quirky gastropub" and then simply copied the images. Farrow & Ball paint? Check. MIsmatched (uncomfortable) chairs? Check. Small and wobbly tables? Check. Unimpressive gastropubby food? Check! This place has gone sadly downhill. Through the summer of 2012 the food was relatively good. Simple, but well cooked. But the last two visits have yielded inedible risotto and a burnt burger and sandwich. Last night was particularly odd, with the waitress refusing to bring us drinks during dinner but instead insisting that we go to the bar ourselves each time. So overall I doubt we'll be returning.
