The Antelope in Wandsworth

Big pub, friendly staff, great location.

This one is good and you must come and see it,,

Was here for a friend’s birthday - lovely pub, staff were lovely and the food was good but it was VERY warm… could do with some fans 🤣

🚇 Tooting Broadway 🍺 £5.25 Pravha The Antelope is located on busy Mitcham Road in the heart of Tooting. The nearest Tube is Tooting Broadway, it is only a two minute walk to get here. This pub was built in 1871 and started life as The Foresters Arms. In 1932, this where a meeting took place to create the Tooting & Mitcham United Football team. In 2009, the pub was taken over by Antic and renamed The Antelope. This is a huge three room pub that has some amazing original and inter-war features. The main bar is located as you enter and has a horshoe shaped servey and an ornate back bar with an original ’Barclays Beers’ sign. At the back of the main bar is a dining area which has Georgian wall panels, dark oak beams and has a slightly Tudor feel to it. Just off the dining area is the Rankin Room, this may have been a Billiard Room at some point. This room has a distinct inter-war feel with its wall paneling, parquet floor and wonderful high ceiling. At the back of the pub is the beer garden which has a covered space with a TV. The beer lineup was impressive and had an excellent selection of beers, ciders and seven cask ales. I decided on a pint of Pravha, my pint was decent, price point was reasonable at just over a fiver. The food menu was a mix of traditional pub grub mains and American/Mediterranean inspired snacks and sharers, Fish & Chips costs £14, Roasts are available on a Sunday. I arrived just after 2pm on a warm Saturday afternoon in April. The main bar had a large group in, the dining area was quiet and there were a few lads watching the Newcastle v Spurs game in the back room, the beer garden was busy. The overall atmosphere was convivial, this pub has a lovely aura to it. I had a little chat with the Guv’nor, top fella. I read last week that 13 Antic pubs had gone into administration, one of them being @theantelopesw17 . I hope and pray that this outstanding boozer is saved, it would be a travesty if this pub has to close its doors. I absolutely loved visiting this pub, this is one of my favourites this year and a must visit for all London pub fans. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 13.04.24

Great pub in the heart of Tooting. Head down on Sundays (4:00) to see some Irish folk music played in the corner whilst you enjoy a Sunday roast. Sports in the back one for everyone

Quirky pub with good food and good beer selection. Always served quickly and with a smile. Recommend.

Good range of beers here, not seen anywhere that does Jaipur before. Bar is big which means there’s never a long queue but can be a bit longer to be served when busy. Nice large beer garden as well

Great pub, atmosphere and friendly staff. A nice garden space and good selection of beers!

When in the antelope for a Sunday roast worse Sunday device, I ever had chicken had no mate on it, free roast potatoes and a plateful of watery cabbage would not recommend his pub to anyone for food.

Really big pub (extends out the back) and is really good value. Always quite speedy service on a weeknight.

Decent pub, but the tables were dirty when we visited, although the barmen did sort a table on request.

Quiz is the reason for the 5 stars

gear atmosphere. excellent Sunday lunch.Staff were attentive and helpful

Fantastic place love pub always feeling welcome 🙏 even bite eat or meet friends 🧡 football

Nice food, service, and pints. There was an Irish trad session there on the Sunday also.

Used to come here a lot when we lived in the area, and made a beeline for it when we found ourselves back in Tooting for the afternoon. The beer is still good and great value, the roasts are still good, but the service was poor. Took ages to take our order, we couldn't even get seen to order at the bar. Brought us the wrong meals. It's a lovely big bar, but completely lacking in spirit and attentiveness.

Fantastic cocktails! Very good service

Great pub. Very large bar and even more seating in a large comfortable room at the back. Good selection of beers and very nice, high quality pub food and fairly reasonable prices. It's a shame the kitchen is closed on Mon/Tues as I usually visit on a Tuesday but I know how hard/expensive recruiting kitchen staff is, so I may not make sense in a quiet night. They also show some live sport in the back room but it doesn't feel like a 'sports pub'. It's the kind of pub you can stop for a quiet pint on your own, or come with friends and enjoy yourselves. Would definitely recommend.

We booked a dinner together for the "Christmas buffet" but were told the day of that it was not going to be a buffet but they were accommodating and gave us a 3 course Xmas meal. The food was good and they had huge protions. We were sat in right in front of the bar area so it was quite loud as it was a Friday night but it was okay, just wasn't what we booked. Overall though, I would recommend if you're looking for just pub vibes and simple food.

Great friendly service & excellent beers

Cute pub, nice atmosphere, well priced.

In the flurry of the holiday season, finding a spot for a work Christmas dinner can be a tall order, especially last minute. But the Antelope in Poole not only accepted our late booking they welcomed us with open arms, turning what could have been a hectic evening into a delightful festive experience. Upon arrival, the warm, festive ambiance of The Antelope immediately set the tone for the evening. The decor was a teasteful nod to the season, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere that was perfect for a group looking to celebrate the holidays. The culinary experience was a highlight. Every dish, from appetizers to desserts, was a delight. The chefs clearly put thought and care into each item on the menu, accommodating a variety of tastes and dietary preferences, ensuring everyone at the table was thoroughly plesed. But what truly stood out was the service. Considering our last-minute reservation, the staff could not have been more accommodating. They were not just eficient and attentive but also exuded a warmth and friendliness that made our group feel like we were regulars. The value for money was another pleasant surprise. High-quality food, exceptional service, all at a price that didn’t break the bank – it was impressive to say the least. The presentation of the dishes added an extra touch of class to the meal, making the dining experience feel even more special. The Antelope’s ability to handle a last-minute booking with such grace and professionalism was the icing on the cake of a wonderful evening. The combination of the inviting atmosphere, exquisite food, outstanding servic, and great value has left a lasting impression on all of us. It’s safe to say that The Antelope in poole has not just won our appreciation for one night, but has earned a group of eager return customers for many festive seasons to come.

Nice pub, lot of place for sitting.

Good place for a drink in the station

Amazing pub. Huge space. Good screens, great pub quiz. Very community focused. Great ale selection

Příjemné posezení velký výběr piv, a jiných dobrot.

Great pub. We went as a large group and they were really accommodating. The staff was on top of things. The food was good and delicious. It was busy, but expected for a Saturday night. It's located right off the Bickley Street bus stop.

Great sausage roll (just out of the oven, fantastic) , great service, only gets three stars as 5 stars only available and the atmosphere was actually quite cold and dark.

Très grand, familial, bonnes bières

Awesome pub…decent food, great service, great ambiance. Staff are amazing. Def recommend giving them a try.

Good place for a Sunday roast - especially the beef.

The BANTERLOPE. No better place for sports-watching on the Clapham North to tooting strip

A place to drink and socialise, and only that. The food was atrocious, obviously a microwave chef working at half power as food was luke warm at best. We ordered a vegan burger and was extremely disappointing, we would advise going to Mcdonald for a better burger at a cheaper price. The weed growing in the garden was more fresh and appealing. 7/10/22

Great Host for rugby games, very fast service. Great food, especially Sunday roast.

Great atmospheric pub with good beer. Enough said.

The most overpriced vegan burger in London is here ! £10 for just a small burger is a rip off.

Great pub, always has a good vibe and it’s not crazy busy.

A nice place helpful staff good selection of beers it's bigger than it looks and a beer garden

Extremely disappointed with this pub. I asked at 5pm what time the kitchen closes and the waitress said “The kitchen closes at 6pm”. I go to the kitchen at 5:37pm to order, and they won’t let me because last orders are taken 30 min before the kitchen closes. Why your waitress didn’t tell me that I will never know. A reasonable answer would have been “the kitchen closed at 6pm but we take last orders 30 min before that”. Perfect. Thanks for ruining my evening. The manager says “sorry”.

Experience of an old London pub restaurant, food is great, people are great and very welcoming and friendly. Good place for a Sunday lunch or a light meal.

Just had drinks with friends. Great spot to catch up as so easy to get to.

I visited this pub as part of a large group of football fans having pre-booked our trip. There was a wide choice of ales, they were in excellent condition and the prices were exceptional value. The staff were enthusiastic and helpful, so despite a poor result at the match, it was a very enjoyable evening. (Food not rated as I did not eat).

Went for the Jack Lonergan foundation gig. Lovely pub and bar staff very friendly

Bring back the previous menu! It used to be a gastro pub and not it’s something less than average. We come here rarely now because of the food menu change. People are great, management is great — but what happened to food? 😩

Happened up one this great pub on “Whisk(e)y Wednesday, and enjoyed good quality Scotch at great prices. And then Chef sent freshly made sausage rolls to the bar, which tasted fantastic with English mustard. I’ve been working in Tooting for 2 years, devastated that I’ve only just discovered this place. 5 stars.

Nice staff. Decent grub. Kitchen open on a Tuesday is a bonus as many pubs in the area don't do food Monday to Wednesday.

Nice pub and staff foods very good and it all round a decent pub

Amazing pub! I really recommend this traditional pub. Beers are perfect.

A solid selection of real ales at very reasonable prices. Atmosphere was great, and the outside area is very lovely in the sun. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

Great pub, which is almost like the Tardis, whilst it looks normally-sized on the outside, the three separate rooms make for plenty of seating, plus the well-sized garden, with large covered area which can be booked for events. There is a good selection of beers which seem to be rotated fairly regularly, provides a good start to a weekend night out as well.

Great pub, really nice vibe with a nice outdoor area and also big screens to watch the football. Staff and bar manager were extra sound and sorted us with a table last minute - would highly recommend!!

Love this pub! Great beer selection and friendly staff

Amazing local pub,staff are lovely and having Jack as team leader does make it one of the best pub in the area. They have a great garden beer

Brilliant pub with an amazing community vibe, we chanced being there for the anniversary of the Antelopenmic night which was amazing! Food was great including the vegan burger, and the staff were really friendly. Really made our day, loved it!

Always a great time in this pub. A definite staple for south west london. Great garden space, huge room in the back (perfect for sports fans) and a lovely selection of drinks. The staff are all very lovely. Will definitely miss this place when we move away

Love the pub! great atmosphere, plenty of space and very friendly staff. Although the food was so much better just before recently. Wish the kitchen could change back.

They dont serve food on Monday and Tuesdays. Use only for drinks.

Not far from Tooting Broadway, good vibe. Although building needs a serious TLC , I would visit again. Friendly staff..

I made a reservation here and was told I could sit anywhere. I waited for 30 minutes and didn’t receive any service so I went to McDonald’s instead. Don’t waste your time unless you’re with a group or you’re a regular. Not kind to foreigners/outsiders here unfortunately.

Large, lively pub with £3.50 ale and sport playing.

Went here for Sunday Lunch this week and it was so good. Party of 10 and we all had a mix of the roast options, you could have nut roast, pork, beef,lamb or chicken ! service was very fast. I had the pork and it was unreal ! Perfectly cooked juicy pork with a delicious crispy crackling ! The only thing that makes this review a 4 star is that the sticky toffee pudding was slightly dry and the sauce was too hard, more like a hard candy than a sauce!

The top pub in Tooting. Including the best Monday night pub quiz hosted by the peerless Jack.

Pub quiz is great, the host is funny! The food is great. Never had a bad experience.

Best pub quiz in tooting !! The host, Jack, is amazing, really funny and great quiz. Will bring all my friends!!

Went for a very busy St Patrick's Day drinks. Decent collection available on the bar. Service was slow but understandably.

The roast dinners looked good. Excellent pint of Guinness. Nice pub. Showed sport but it wasn't packed put with football fans

Jack's pub quiz is the best I've ever been to - so much so that I'm still a regular despite having moved to Surrey! His sharp wit, deadpan delivery and diverse knowledge make Monday nights a highlight of the week. Just don't be caught with your phone - snitches get riches at this quiz!

Really good quiz on a Monday, hosted by Jack. He calls out phone cheating during the quiz , he is like a exam invigilator that swears.

Love this place. Jack always hosts a great pub quiz. So much so that I made a second trip to London from Canada just to go to the Antelope.

I booked online. Booking said it was confirmed. I drove all the way there with my family. When we arrived I was told my the rude GM manager that there was no booking for me. They were fully booked and “he was the GM”, so I have no booking. No apology. No attempt to see if they can fit us in. Nothing. What is the point of using a an online booking system, if you can’t book online?

Big fan of the Antelope, decent selection on tap, good staff, good atmosphere and plenty of room to spread out.

Lovely roast with good trimmings. I had the vegan roast which was tasty but I don't think it was what was on the menu. Good roasties and great red cabbage. Others had the leg of lamb but it came as slices. Service was slow and the room was too dark to see your meal

Good place, but last orders seems to come round early

Great bar service. Would love to see more people using this local it's a great place for a comfortable chat with friends.

Great Sunday roast - the veggies, the gravy, the yorkshire pudding - all were top notch. The lamb wasn't the best, but the beef roast was great. Good service and lots of space out in the back.

Friendly pub with a great range of beers and quick service.

Absolutely beautiful interior. Great selection of drinks. Garden and smoking area at the back. Multiple screens to watch football.

Love this pub and the beer is always excellent. The men's toilets have improved somewhat (new tiles, urinals and piping).

We stopped for lunch and the food was really good, they gave many options to chose, the chips were very nice the place big and comfy, we have a good time with our friends Si andas por el área de tooting es una rica Opcion para parar por ahí su menú es muy variado, sus papas deliciosas, el lugar es enorme y muy particular un pub inglés para conocer

This is one of my favourite pubs! It has a great bar, (not just your usual selection of mediocre but overpriced wine, bog-standard spirits and uninspiring beer), the staff are polite and friendly and the food is so good - particularly the skin-on fries.

Nice pub. Quiet and plenty of space. Good selection of ales.

Staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. They accommodated all our needs really well.

Good service and good staff, good prices. Food: 5

We pre-booked Christmas Dinner for six of us, including one vegan and one coeliac. Four days in advance we were told that the brownie vegan dessert option was no longer available - surely that's time enough to make some more?? Guess they don't make their own food nor order pre made brownies from anywhere nearby? When we arrived we were told someone in another party who had chosen the brownie too had cancelled, so their brownie was now available, happy days. However, the advertised vegan starter (a vegan version of a vegetarian starter of mushroom, toast and cheese) was described by the server as not really a vegan starter as they had no vegan cheese nor vegan bread, therefore it would be "just a mushroom". So it really shouldn't have been on the menu . The vegan main was undercooked and lacked flavour and we had to ask for extra gravy for the Christmas Dinner but otherwise the mains were fine. At dessert time the server came to apologise that there was no vanilla ice cream left, they also didn't have any cream nor custard. We asked if they (or we!) couldn't pop across the road to Tesco to get some ice cream or if there wasn't anything the chef could do. We were told the chef could make "something like cream" which turned out to be custard and was completely fine. The server said as a gesture for the issues we would not be charged the surcharge for the steak we'd ordered. When the bill came they hadn't taken off the £60 we'd already paid and they'd charged us for the non-existent vegan starter.

Seats available and quick service. Reasonably priced drinks too.

Time & Time again this place never disappoints. Been coming here for years while leaving locally, moved away 7 months ago and yet find myself back. The food served by chef Marek is incredible! Staff members are always welcoming and accommodating. Great place to be in!

Good place for after work drinks. Food is decent too!

Pretty fantastic local pub with a good selection of beer and food. Separate events room, dining room and large outdoor space.

Food closes early but understandable for a Monday night. Great Atmos, pleasant staff and near a tube. Perfect for a Monday night chin wag

Ambience is nice, but £9 for bad truffle fries annoyed me

Go there every week with friends. Perfect place to watch sports. Big outside area, amazing on a sunny day 😎 drinks are reasonably priced, cocktails are okay but haven't had one in a long time. Staff great 👍

Really big rooms, outside space at the back, staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was nice too.

Spacious, with friendly staff and a nice beer garden, affordable pints...definitely a great choice for a few drinks in Tooting. The food is surprisingly good as well.

One of the best Sunday roasts in London. Staff very friendly. Prices reasonable by Tooting standards!

Huge pub with lots of character!

Went there yesterday with my wife & g-daughter..... I was looking forward to their signature sausage and mash..... I was told this was off so I chose to have two starters since the choice of food was pretty mediocre. I later heard another waitress talk the the chef about sausages.... I asked her if they were on... She said that there were sausages but no mash.... I could have them with chips! .... By that time the other food was ready!.... Tooting Broadway is full of green-grocers so making mash would have taken a few minutes..... Instead the "chef" was out in the eating area talking to his mates/customers. The food delivered was overpriced,small portioned and the crushed peas that came with my wife's fish and chips were inedible (thankfully due to the almost thimble sized dish it came in) . .... further to this no children's menu..... so if you have kids don't bother

Disappointed that the kitchen was closed at 4pm and there was absolutely no food on offer (a side of chips for example). On the positive side there was a big screen to watch the football, just a shame there was nothing to eat.

I came here for a birthday on Saturday 8th of October. Jimmy the bar manager, Nora, baby Ben & Jason were excellent. So much fun & so excellent to our party! True hospitality I will return! You are all amazing I love your staff thank you so much I love all of you - Lauren and Lottie xxxx

Quality of food beyond reproach. Superb. Lacking on quantity - but then I am a hog!
