The Alexandra in Merton

The worst spent money on food in a long time. So surprised you have such a good ratings with quite not the cheapest Sunday roast, with places near by offers it cheaper. Well I made my choice after checking your ratings here, now want to help others now not to fall for it at all. Yorkshire pudding burned, overcooked as much as possible. Apparently you do it this way. Well If I want to eat overcooked I would stay at home and burn my toast, same taste. Go and check the Greyhound in Carlshalton or Antilope in Tooting Broadway for a Sunday Roast.

Great place to enjoy a pint in the sunshine

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

Good place for a drink and chat, service was very good. Didn't try the food but what saw looked tasty and good value.

We came here for Sunday lunch and were suitably impressed - huge portions, cooked *almost* perfectly (my mother found her roast potatoes a bit soft). My fish & chips were first rate - really crunchy batter on the flaky fish & really good crispy chips (you could tell they were triple cooked). The building is really spacious so you should always be able to find somewhere to sit. It's also dog-friendly, which is essential for any pub. Excellent range of beers as well, but most of all 10/10 for the staff who without exception were helpful, cheery, knowledgeable and professional. PS my mother may not have loved her spuds but insisted on a doggy bag for her roast chicken which was too much for one sitting.

The vegetarian wellington was of very minimal quality, and I was unable to detect the beet and mushroom that the menu said it contained. Lots of lentils. According to the kitchen, the beet and mushroom had been ground through it. Of the side dishes, only the gravy was abundant, the potatoes were tough instead of crispy, no glazed carrot but tough asparagus, a real disappointment.

Always always first rate and wonderfully managed pub of distinction. Staff make the place tick. Wonderful food and drinks. Great vibe. Magnificent in every way.

Roast had burnt Yorkshire pudding and missing carrots. Staff were nice, albeit non caring about roast issues.

Extremely mediocre food that was quite expensive. My husband got the steak for £25 and it was the smallest one I’ve ever seen. He said the mushroom (!) was the best part of it, as everything else was tasteless, including the gravy. I got the burger, which cost £18, and it was just about edible - very dry, patty was overcooked, barely any cheese or sauce in it… I could’ve made a much better one at home for a fraction of the price. The menu mentioned non-alcoholic drinks and beers and “to ask the staff about their wide range”. The waitress knew nothing about it, and told me they only had one non-alcoholic beer, which according to the menu that I saw after ordering is not true. We ate at their rooftop garden (very limited food menu up there), which was a nice spot on a sunny day, and the only positive thing about the experience.

We visited the Loft.My favourite local bar. Love the outside ,almost continental vibe. Great service, relaxing time. Just one point. Could you provide a veggie ,lactose sharing platter ie Houmous ,fried courguettes, as you did before ? We did enjoy the sandwiches though. Be back very soon !

Always a nice place to pop into for a few drinks or lunch / dinner. Service is always great and atmosphere wasn't bad for a midweek lunchtime. Had some issues with the menu. I'm diabetic and there wasn't really anything low card - most things come with potatoes or pasta. Asked if I could sub in cauliflower cheese which I was happy to pay extra for, but they'd run out. Ended up with chicken wings which wasn't ideal for a business meeting. Anyway, that aside, all good! If we could have something low carb on the menu that would be fab...

Great casual spot with excellent food. The chicken dish was especially juicy and flavorful. It got a bit chilly inside, but otherwise a pleasant meal.

An absolutely beautiful relaxed Sunday lunch. Wonderful service too -I’m afraid I don’t know the name of the person that served us our food but believe he was American. Really peaceful, lovely food and felt in no rush.

We hired a section of the Alexandra last night for a party and couldn't fault anything. The organisation leading up to the party, the calm help on the night, the delicious food and the great atmosphere. The icing on the cake was the fantastic live music that happened to be on the same night. Would 100% recommend The Alexandra for a great informal and friendly venue.

The service was good and the waitress was always approachable.

Increíble pub y es muy servicial. Fui a tomar unas copas después del trabajo por mi cumpleaños y pude sacar un pastel. Personal muy amable.

El mejor pub de Londres. Siete pubs en uno. Sí, siete bares diferentes. Gran servicio de Johnny detrás de la barra. 😂😂🤩🤩🤩

Lunchtime today , served by Elina , my wife and I and a friend of ours very much enjoyed our first visit to The Alexandra in Wimbledon. 5 Stars + For Everything . Thank you / Diolch yn fawr - Tidy Place !!!!!!!!

Otro excelente asado dominical. Gran servicio y deliciosa comida. El pollo y la carne estaban perfectamente cocinados y el personal era, como de costumbre, amable y muy servicial.

Tried to celebrate a fellows friends birthday, automatically received horrible service, rude assumptions when not even a word was said. We decided to leave as we felt very uncomfortable and even got stalked down the road by the bouncer, which is utterly unnecessary. Would not recommend.

Booked a table for lunch with a friend. The staff were all very friendly, great well stocked bar and the food was amazing, I had Cumberland sausages, mash and gravy, very tasty indeed. I couldn't fault anything and I will definitely be returning soon.

Amazing community spirited pub, lots of different areas, great atmosphere, lost a star for the terrace experience, which is slow table service only and a completely less friendly vibe. Don't let that put you off, just an opinion that the terrace shouldn't try to be something different.

Good central pub in Wimbledon. Very popular and quite expensive but think that is driven by youngs unfortunately. Food is a tad hit and miss. Works well for hosting events between themselves and the Loft upstairs

For such a busy large pub it has a great atmosphere, bustling but not too overpowering

Great cosy pub. Good for groups watching sport, or having a meal.

Having a drink outside is bliss

Fantastic service from Johnny and the team

Superb Sunday lunch with excellent service

Great food! Great service by Larissa and the whole team. Multiple visits with no complaints. Highly recommended.

Always a great spot for an after-work chat with friends. It can be a bit noisy at times, but that's part of its charm - it's a lively and popular pub with a warm, sociable atmosphere that keeps the energy high.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Always friendly and great service

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

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.

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

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.

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…

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

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!

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

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!!

Great service and food. Thank you

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.

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 .

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.

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

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

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!

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 👏.

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.

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
