The Alexandra in Merton

Organised a work event here last night. Overall as a group we had a great time. Couple of minor points that would stop me doing this again: inability to run a tab and get a single bill; and lack of vegetation/vegan sharing platters

This is our beloved local pub, offering an impressive selection of drinks to suit every taste. The staff are exceptionally friendly, always greeting us with a smile and providing quick, attentive service. Mick, the landlord, frequently makes the rounds, and impressively remembers everyone's name with ease. The food is absolutely phenomenal, and the generous portion sizes are sure to leave you feeling more than satisfied. We'll definitely be returning!

Good food and nice stmosphere and prompt service , would definitely reccomend

Wednesday Great lunch friendly staff They look after us oldies so well. Everyone smiling. Until the next time Thank you

Love this pub and love the food, my party of 7 all had the magnificent roast. One doesn’t eat meat so asked for an alternative in the end was given a piece of fish. It was stipulated to the waitress no Salt on any of the food, what happens when it comes up the salt is all over the fish and no Yorkshire pudding, was asked for it to be changed and again said no salt, the person has a reaction to neat salt and also asked for the Yorkshire. It came back and was absolutely gorgeous. When we ordered drinks all came ok except one persons coffee. After 10 mins then asked and one of the staff said sorry but we are extremely busy, he was a bit blunt. So we decided we would not pay the service charge but leave a cash tip. When it came to do the payment we split it between us which was ok, but he. It was the last persons time to pay the lady with the machine said not the figure it was, we said we are not paying the service charge, she said you should have told me at the beginning, we said you didn’t ask, she then Sighed and said it makes it awkward and tutted and when ask for a receipt she said she couldn’t. So disappointed with a couple of the staff, that it spoilt what was supposed to be a lovely lunch for us. Needless to say we then didn’t leave a tip. Which is most unusual for us. Just two members of staff let the pub down. Do not be put off by this review as it’s a great pub with normally the best staff. We seem to keep getting an issue with chefs putting salt on the food in many restaurants when asked not too. So The Alex is just another of maybe the waitress not listening or the chefs not taking it on board.

As usual, the Alex was fantastic. Staff so friendly and helpful. Food absolutely delicious 😊

Positives. Friendly and attentive staff. Very pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Service was quick and efficient. Food was unpretentious and enjoyable Things to improve. Youngs bitter had bits in it. How often are we cleaning the pipes? Toilets were smelly. Taps were broken and graffiti in the gents. Shouldn’t be this hard to keep the standards up?

A typical place for stuffed slobs. I recommend Fish and Chips. A*

Great table for our group of 16, food was very good and really good service...in the end...!! We were initially put off by our first contact with the servers as we were asked for our initial drinks order and then told we'd have to pay there and then...ie before any others arrived! Rule is "no tabs on Saturday"! Ridiculous, as we were a large party and I'd booked months ago, so presumably they had my phone number?! Thankfully Sophie (?) saw some sense and looked after us and we were able to relax and enjoy the occasion.....and then pay at the end! Thank you Sophie!

Love this place but not a great Saturday visit. Table booked for 6 in the sports bar (with comments 2 children) stuck us at the end on table too high for the children. Not only that booked sports bar to watch the football and wasn't on in that room so again wasted journey. Left after 30min to Prince of Wales up the road which accommodated us nicely

Great vibe. A pub for everyone and their pets

Good food , excellent service with great atmosphere

Food needs a little improvement but the staff notably Aku & Mena were superb. I would definitely come back due to the service they offered.

Was a lovely evening. The staff made it even better. Thanks

Excellent lunch. Friendly staff good food. Brilliant pub. Great service and great place in Central Wimbledon. My favourite place to eat. If you have not tried here before you are missing out

Terrible service, staff were very rude and very unfriendly . This is not a place that I will never recommend. They lady from the bar was very frustrated and rude.

The pie here was really nice and staff were absolutely great. If you book a table upstairs it's worth it

Treated a dear friend to lunch at the Alex for her birthday. Great food, attentive and friendly service and warm and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended.

My friends and I had a great time.. apart from table being between the two areas so outer chairs had to move to let people with prams past, food and service and ambience were all great. We will be back!

A pub located a few minutes walk from Wimbledon Station. I wanted to go to a pub, so I stumbled upon this place by chance, and it was great. Like other pubs, there were antique tables and chairs arranged in a chaotic manner, creating a traditional atmosphere. As expected from Wimbledon, one of the four major tennis tournaments, there was a tennis racket object on the wall. The long-awaited fish and chips were so large that they overflowed the plate and were delicious. What was different from other restaurants was that the fish and chips plate came with three alcoholic sauces. The tartar sauce, bean-based sauce, and curry sauce were all delicious, but fish and chips are best served with malt vinegar. I had a pint glass of beer that was uniquely British, and it was amazing! The store staff was also friendly and the store was very comfortable.

A good pub with good care for dogs. Johnny very attentive and great service. Nice beer and good menu, would come back in a shot

£9.10 for a standard Gin & Tonic.

One of my favourite pubs in Wimbledon. Actually, my favourite pub in Wimbledon. Great selection of beers, comfy seating, welcoming staff. What else do you need?

Great pub with very helpful staff and excellent food.

Regular London drinking establishment. Variety of good beer, cool staff and tasty food. Good job.

The place was nice and vibrant. the staff however were callous, rude and unhelpful. dramatic grunts under their breaths in an entirely unfriendly situation. superbly unwelcoming.

Excellent service and excellent food. Fast service and food piping hot. Very tasty. Nothing too much trouble.

Oldfashioned pub with lovely open fires. We had a sharing plate which was excellent.

Other than a bit pricey always a good night

Quick stop off at the end of the afternoon, whilst awaiting a car being MOTed on Worple Road. Years since I last came here - much has changed, and it’s a very nice pub. Tomato juice and coke - totally pleasant. Nice to run into a female acquaintance whom I hadn’t seen for several years, who was now working here.

This was my only experience in any pub on Christmas day

We met friends for Sunday lunch. We had roast pork and roast beef, both were delicious and very generous helpings. The food and atmosphere never disappoint. The Alexandra is our go to when in Wimbledon.

Always friendly and great service

Excellent service, amazing food and wonderful atmosphere

The Alex is one of my favourite pubs. But on the last two visits (6th Oct and 21st Dec), I’ve been disappointed. On both occasions, we have ordered starters and stated that we’d like them served as such. And on both occasions, after lengthy waits for food, they’ve arrived with the mains. We have said we now no longer want them and have been refunded both times without problem. However, staff seem strangely nonplussed by these mistakes, as if it happens a lot or as if they find it strange that one wouldn’t want a bowl of soup at the same time as sausage and mash. I really hope this recurring issue can be amended as I love visiting the pub, but I’d now think twice about booking it as a dinner option.

Getting like a kindergarten I'm afraid been drinking here for close on 40 years and last Saturday there must have been 30 very young children there in the early evening saying that they were well behaved just shouldn't be happening

Thank you for bringing lonely souls together on Christmas day. My heartfelt thanks to Yourself, your wife and your beautiful team x

My wife and I had our first Christmas Day visit for Christmas dinner, it was fantastic😁 food was excellent. Nice touch with a gift left on each table for guests, we will be back next year for sure, as well as the occasional drink throughout the year. Must mention the kindness shown to lonely people who get Christmas dinner and a warm welcome from the management each Christmas all FREE!!!! Keep up the great work, and for your kindness to others.

One of the best pub I’ve been to on Xmas eve, and one of the best pub in Wimbledon’s. Very nice staff, good quality food, nice atmosphere…

Excellent customer service and it's very close to the Wimbledon Station. The only downside I'd say would be the fact that they don't have London Pride within their menu.

Great local pub. Good atmosphere, nice drinks served by lovely friendly staff. Cosy fireplace and comfortable seating. You can’t beat it. Super! 👌

Very nice pub, but the barlady was incredible rude.

The food and the atmosphere was really festive and my whole family enjoyed the experience. The staff were super friendly and looked after us

Great food and friendly service. Beef rib roast was AMAZING and the kids loved the added marshmallows ontop of their hot chocolates. Highly recommend this restaurant and that you book as it’s quite busy

I booked a table upstairs in The Loft for my birthday drinks and would definitely come here again! Communication when pre-ordering drinks and organising everything prior to the evening was great, as well as excellent service on the night. I accidentally left some birthday cards behind and the staff kindly kept them aside for me to collect the next day. A lovely pub - would highly recommend!

This pub used to be my local in the 90s. It was good to revisit.

Brilliant early evening meal, staff were very accommodating as we got there early. Great Christmas atmosphere!!

I was disappointed this time as I was told that they had a disco but there was all tables on the dancefloor and someone playing music from a laptop and nowhere to dance .

It was our 3rd Christmas party as a team there, the food has always been brilliant, he service great and the upstairs restaurant area was a nice atmosphere for our meal. The team are very accommodating and adjusted with numbers and requests whenever they came up. We would be happy to go every year, but we do like to change every so often, therefore it is a testament to them that we keep coming back after a different venue.

Great service and food. Thank you

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL Came with my friends for a Christmas lunch Asked to pay before we had even finished our food. I’m a Youngs pensioner and had a discount card which was totally ignored Many meals weren’t available. We were told to pay before our mains because the waitress was leaving however she was still there when we left. This was meant to be a Christmas celebration lunch for our pensioners club and it was so disappointing We will never come back again.

Food took a bit longer to come but was worth the wait!

The food was really really tip top, We had pork which was to die for , sausage n mash gravy on side and a beef roast all 5 🤩

The service was great. Big portions, lovely set table with our names. Friendly and attentive staff. I gave the food 4 stars because the syllabub was not great

Lovely relaxing lunch. Friendly attentive staff.

Had a great office get together. Great food and quick service

We had a good time at the KBR structural engineer's annual reunion and hope to be there next year at the end of November. Thanks for reserving the space.

Always great at this venue. Friday has a great atmosphere and very very busy. Food is traditional pub fare.

I regularly visit this pub and am always impressed be the friendliness of the bar team, whoever is on duty. Good food and drink selection including non alcoholic beverages.

Well I must say had a lovely meal hear last night, the service and food and atmosphere is great and I will definitely be back again....😊👍👍👍👍👍

Walking into this beautiful, cosy pub the bar staff did warn me that they had the best food in town. They were not wrong. The food was incredible and I am yet to find another meal that was as tasty, fresh and filling as their food. The staff were lovely and welcoming and I look forward to heading back.

Brilliant sports bar that is much nicer inside than it looks from the outside.

Saturday night very busy and loud. A large pub so lots of people. Had a DJ later on and moved the tables to make a dance floor. Was still busy at 1.00am

Delicious Sunday lunch, beef was tender and cooked beautifully. Great atmosphere, busy vibe yet able to meet friends and catch up over lunch with great service.

Happy to take your custom, but be prepared for a reserved plaque to be put on your table after sitting there for an hr and told to leave at the time of reservation. What ever happened to going to a pub and enjoying a night out. Removed by the bouncers at the time.

We were a large group of new mums with prams and Larisa made sure there was plenty of space for us. Thank you!

We went to The Loft upstairs. Very delightful place although as a lover of traditional pubs the standing around waiting to be seated and table service killed the atmosphere for me. Not helped by the slow service. Would recommend if it changed the model to be a proper pub.

The Alex is a warm and welcoming pub with brilliant food. We were a family of 4 plus a toddler and the staff were friendly and helpful. We will be back 👏.

Great afternoon meeting pals in a busy pub. The food and service are excellent. Will return.

I was fortunate enough to have the most attentive lady looking after by the name of Bel. The perfect balance between professionalism as well as attentiveness and friendly. She was unfortunate enough to have me and my friend turn up on a Sunday after a big Saturday an looked after us in a way that made me feel ready for Monday. True asset to the company.

Pricy for what it is and food took over 45 minutes to turn up

Get your paws sticky and tuck into some great food and drinks. Loved the DJ night upstairs and great views and seating. Had my first best Bumble Date here ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

Called in for a light lunch and few celebratory birthday drinks, relaxed atmosphere, excellent staff and service, food good value for money, can’t write anything negative, would highly recommend

We were in the loft inside and has great time with friends!

Excellent Pub for food and drinks with a great atmosphere.

Fabulous place with great scotch eggs and youngs beer 🍺 .

Best pub for miles, great food and or course Youngs beer. Good atmosphere and wonderful friendly staff make everyone welcome. Including our dog, who loved the carrot sticks

Best pub in London, pie and service is amazing! Will defiantly be back! Thank you to Chloe for helping me as always!

The Alex is an iconic pub and I live Wimbledon where I live . But apparently downstairs is not table service anymore . This is a PITA and correspondingly makes it even worse value than usual . 20£ for a decent burger TBH and cone of chips ; 10£ for a large house white and getting up and down to order - not worth it . Sort it out Youngs . Either it’s a pub or a restaurant at the moment it’s neither

Had a lovely time, a few drinks and lovely atmosphere. Chloe behind the bar was amazing and served us quick and with a smile. Would definitely come back.

Great pub, well located. Lots of tables with a great atmosphere. Good selection of beers on tap. Food was good.

Excellent service from bar staff. Can’t remember the (older) barman’s name, but he was fabulous at sorting us a table so we could enjoy the football match in comfortable seating with a table to chomp snacks close to the TV screens - brilliant! He was super friendly and helpfully reserved the spot for us the entire evening, so we stayed on and had a meal and drinks. The burger+chips and the leek+ham pie n mash were yummy! 😋 Great atmosphere, great service in comfortable surroundings. We’ll be back! 👍😁

Love this pub - The Alex has been a constant staple since moving here about 13 years ago. It's perfect for after work drinks in the courtyard, always lively atmosphere for the rugby or football, and they host lost of events. Great all-round local pub!

Wonderful pub for lunch with friends. Easy online booking and text confirmation. Changed numbers via a phone call with friendly and helpful members of staff. On the day the staff were attentive and responsive, and food was excellent. This was our second visit as the first had been just as good. Likely to become a regular place to meet.

It's probably the finest pub in Wimbledon, especially if you can get a table in the loft. It has friendly staff and a good selection of wines. Although the cocktails were slightly underwhelming, I’d still highly recommend it.

Fantastic pub with many rooms. Great for watching football and for not watching depend of time and mood. First floor room has fantastic vibe especially be site fireplace. Bars are every where at least four so always is quick and easy to order another pinte or glass of vine.

What a lovely pub. Don’t go to pubs very often anymore but we popped in for a Sunday roast and it was great, Josh really looked after us and the food was amazing, he even gave us extra gravy and Yorkshire puds for free. What a great place.

It's a pub in Wimbledon. Just a normal pub. But normal pubs are good. Nothing flash just a pub. A decent selection of beers & sport on TVs but not a sports bar feel, there for those interested, not intrusive for those not interested. Friendly place.

The best in town🌟🥂 Stuff so lovely 👌

Absolutely lovely pub 👌 Highly recommend.

Great pub to watch the football in. Good range of beers available. Great staff. They do a Christmas dinner for people on their own at Christmas which is great.

Went early midweek to meet a mate. They had Neckoil on tap which was great. Apart from that bit of a old man’s pubs

Great service by my server Caryse!! Will definitely be back :)

Excellent service from a young lass called Caryse 🙂

Was served by a lovely Kiwi girl, Caryse! Excellent service. Will be back

Had a wonderful time here the other day! Excellent service from a server called Annie. Can’t recommend it enough.

Our Roasts were really good tasty and plentiful. Service was abysmal I'm sorry to say. The pub was quite busy so this probably was a reason. There seemed to be only 2 girls serving. We sat down an waited for someone to come over. We had preordered roasts as they say they sometimes run out. Eventually we managed to order some drinks which again took a while. Our server looked over and realised we hadn't been served drinks. At no point were we asked if anyone had any allergies. Our Roasts appeared after about half an hour. No problem with that. Although first they brought up Pork which wasn't on our order. The food was lovely. Beef nice, no fat. Half a chicken well cooked. Great portions of vegetables too. And hot! The we waited for our server. And waited. Then finally she came over, took 2 of the plates and never returned for the rest of the table. So we sat and waited again. Nothing. No offering of a sweet, coffee etc. No asking at any point are you enjoying your meal or can I get you anything else. In the end I just asked for the bill and we left. It was a shame as we have always loved the Alex.

Went in for a Sunday Roast! Very delicious food I must say. Also the most lovely server Caryse, very attentive and kind girl! Will be back😊

Awesome pub! Great food, atmosphere and service. Special mention to lovely lady Caryse who went the extra mile for us, she really made the experience top notch. Will definitely be coming back soon!!

No food arrived, no refund offered 👍
