The Cat's Back in Wandsworth

Went for the first time a few weeks ago. No longer the old man's pub .. now proper space/ gastro ISH feel, but with books and crannies to give it some style. They have packed in small tables so be ready for small seats and table legs in your way at the same time. If they can get some new tables it might be more comfy. If you go on a Sunday you need to book! Worth a go.

Fantastic place with great staff and atmosphere. Pizza's amazing too

Great beer, friendly service, good atmosphere and kid friendly. Sunday roasts not amazing if I’m honest - over seasoned with salty rubs and a gravy that must have used a field’s worth of thyme, so very hard to comment on the quality of ingredients. Comes with a nice cauliflower cheese though. Will be back and absolutely would recommend, just maybe not for a roast.

Love the Cats Back, my favourite hidden gem. Bar staff are great and always so friendly ❤️

Great pub! Our first time here, we do like a good roast so we’re hoping we weren’t going to be disappointed and we were not! Beef was beautiful and all the trimmings! Found our new Sunday pub! Thank you xx

I had my 30th last night in the private function room and the staff were amazing. Thanks to Julia and the team for making it a very fun night

Great local pub with friendly staff. They host events from time to time. A relaxed atmosphere, and a good crowd.

Amazing staff, Sunday lunch is perfect. Definitely coke try it out

Amazing food and a brilliant team of staff. Really great Pork roast and the summer menu twist is a fantastic touch. Would post photos of the food, but it was too tasty and was gone before I thought to take some snaps 🤣

Lovely lunch for Father's Day. Can easily see this place becoming my new local ❤️

We recently had our engagement party in the Lions Den upstairs at The Cats Back. The space was incredible, already comes beautifully decorated and the staff are happy for you to add your own too. We had some home-made wood-fired pizzas for everyone, which were delicious and went down a treat. Craig was so friendly, inviting and helpful from the moment we made contact, and really made us excited for the party. He could not have been more obliging. His staff on the night looking after us were also really professional, so kind and very helpful. It was all excellent value. Couldn't recommend it more for an intimate gathering, party etc ... Thanks again Craig & co! Caoimhe & James x

Honestly my favorite pub in London. Friendly staff, a wide selection of drinks and a great Sunday roast. Well worth a visit!

Went for a drink, haven't been for years, still has a great atmosphere and friendly service. Not as quirky as it used to be but a great local pub, will be back soon

Excellent and friendly service by Craig and his team.

Best local pub we could ask for. Amazing staff and always a wonderful crowd. We come here on weekly basis to play some food and play some games. Looking forward to the next Parma night!

The Cat's Back is a hidden gem in Wandsworth with much more than meets the eye at first. First, It sells Harveys beer. For those who do not know, Harveys is a Lewes, Sussex based brewery making, perhaps, the best real ale in the country. Don't believe me? Well, you'll have to go and try :) Having an outlet in London, tucked away by the river is wonderful. Second, while the exterior may seem ordinary, The Cat's Back has the super comfortable and eclectic 'Lion's Den', on the first floor - a lounge area with overstuffed leather sofas, steamer trunk tables and a cozy fire. Very relaxed indeed. Third, the pub is a sometime haven for Australians with 'parma nights' and Australian 'beer' (ahem). Food figures a lot in the pub, with select events on Wednesdays, including the aforementioned parma, wings night (all you can eat - yummy), and once a month guest chef from the local area. The staff are professional and fun, and I always enjoy going. Very glad to have this little gem near me.

An outstanding Sunday Roast- Lamb was cooked to perfection. Staff in here are excellent: it a lovely, warm and welcoming pub. Highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

Great pub could be the best in Putney/wandsworth very friendly BUT music why to loud and not sure who it’s for except the staff!!

One of the best pubs in London, a great pint of Harvey’s!

Great Aussie Chicken Parmy night, shame they'd run out of Tim Tams and Shapes for the meal deal but we'll definitely be back!

Great staff, they were a little swamped on our visit so getting drinks was difficult. They also run out of VB, Tim Tams and Shapes on their Parmy Night. They underestimated the Australians hunger for their staple foods 😂

Traditional pub with a modern feel. There is a lovely outside area at the back and a lounge upstairs with large, comfy sofas and a pool table. Very friendly staff. It's just 50 metres off the Thames path and it's well worth popping in for a drink.

Great little boozer by the river Thames

Good pub and beer. Space inside and out to enjoy a drink

We hired out the Lion's Den for a hen-do and had such an amazing time. Not only was the venue perfect for our party, but I felt that the staff truly went the extra mile for us. The communication was excellent when we were setting up the logistics beforehand, and everyone involved before, and on the day, was very friendly, and eager to help us to make the day extra special for our lovely bride-to-be.

Great, cosy place to enjoy a pint

It's a very nice pub with an amazing atmosphere but the service is super slow.

Hidden gem, good food, good beer, friendly staff.

Great local pub with cozy atmosphere. Outside garden and the Lions den upstairs with a pool table.

Had a nice time! Perfect place, service, interior!

Ye olde Pub..like it used to be..nice cider

Beautiful comfy cosy friendly pub with excellent beer

Once a month this place serves up an Australian delicacy; along with our world famous Tim tams and shapes. Would recommend

Now there are the sorts of pubs that, in my experience, have gone missing in recent times. A very distinctive atmosphere that almost forces you to chill out. And the very friendly barmaid only reinforced this. An absolutely wonderful place. It's quite small but very clean and tidy with an upstairs room with pool table and an outdoor area out the back. The Guinness was excellent as was the Harvey's Sussex Best. Come and experience it for yourself. And they play excellent music

It gives you a bit of Alice in wonderland feeling when you enter this pub. Very unexpected decoration and atmosphere. We loved it. The terrace is nicely hidden as well.

Cracking little pub with a great atmosphere, excellent beer and friendly staff (just don't tell too many people...)

Homely pub in London. Excellent customer service especially from an employee named Rachel. Reasonably priced drinks and cozy fireplace. Looking forward to returning, thanks Craig (owner)

The only place in south west London that feels like a proper Surrey pub - great atmosphere, log fire, great ales, and a pool table upstairs. Bar staff are a great laugh as well, not much at all to complain about!

Great, undiscovered pub, cheap beer too!

Lovely roast dinner! Good portion and a cosy atmosphere.

Excellent pub, really nice to stumble upon this on a back street. Quiet and chilled, friendly staff, great beers and comfy seat.

Really delicious pork belly roast at a decent price.

Good beer, back street pub with Harvey's beers.

Cool music, lovely atmosphere but the sparking wine by the glass has a very poor selection as they only offer prosecco

Vibes were great, staff was excellent as an aussie this was great 10/10 would do again

Cosy local. Open fire. Good beer selection. Decent food. Friendly staff. Nice deco if you like a plush study room like theme. Small outdoor space for the better weather.

El sitio está genial, comida abundante y Rica en sofás cómodos y música en directo

Super cosy atmosphere. Very nice place to laze away after long day's work.

I recently moved to Wandsworth and I couldn't be happier to find such a nice local pub just 2 min walk from my flat. The pub style is really unique, great beers and very good Sunday roast and burgers. If you live in the area or pass by, this is definitely a must for a pint on the go (or even two!).

Lovely pub and excellent service. Nice little garden at the back. Just a shame the pool table wasn't available and the Aussie beers were quite pricey (imports for you)! Recently went again for the parmi deal, great value and service was so quick!

We held my 40th birthday at The Cat’s Back and it was unbelievable. Craig and the team could not have been more welcoming and the pub was set up beautifully for us. All of our friends and family had a fantastic time and have been raving about the venue since. We also had party food provided and again it was great. Honestly don’t have a bad word to say about the place!

One of the top 10 pubs in England, number 8 !!!!!

Lovely old pub lots of character.

A very nice pub in a tower block and flats jungle been done up nicely staff very nice and chatty beer very good

Nice place to grab a pint and relax into the night

Went to the curry pop up night but was delicious food. Drink selection was great and the seating in the beer garden was very comfortable.

I just had a Sunday roast at the Cats Back. The service was friendly and professional. I had the roast pork belly and it was outstanding. I will be back.

Great little local pub. Friendly staff and cold beers!

A lovely spot to dine or grab a drink. Hidden gem! A nice little garden area in the back. Lovely staff. Off the beaten path. Will be returning!

Absolutely awesome staff, very friendly and attentive. Great pizza, but if you can only order one thing order the rose Prosecco!

Great little local pub, friendly helpful staff and a great choice of food and drinks. Top venue

The Cat’s Back is a cozy pub near a park and the river. The bar staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is nice. I occasionally go there because a friend lives nearby. Today, I had dinner there for the first time. I was told that they recently changed the menu to burgers and pizza which, as far as I am concerned, is the ideal pub food. I ordered the Flaming Galah Burger, which arrived after a short wait. It was absolutely delicious. The burger came with chips that were crisp on the outside but with an inside that melts in your mouth - and with coleslaw which was fresh and crunchy. The burger was spicy but just with the right amount of spice. I would definitely go there again for the food alone. Not only was the burger delicious but for a pub in such a good location the price was also incredibly fair: £10. I noticed that they don’t do desserts. A tiramisu would have been nice. in the end we had a delicious peanut butter whisky.

Lovely pub one of only three Harvey's of Lewes pubs in Greater London.

Lovely to sit outside on a summer evening.

Lovely little oasis in the middle of an apartment jungle. Excellent staff, beers, seating and an amazing little garden. Highly recommended!

Lovely selection of beers on tap, friendly staff and a good little secluded beer garden

The perfect local, Craig and the team are sound.

a lovely old London pub. decent and varied amounts of beer and a lovely little 'garden' area. prices okay for London as well

One of the best pubs in Putney.

Beautiful little pub in the heart of Wandsworth

Best pub in London, just quietly

Both as a destination pub and a friendly local, it's hard to look further than the Cat's Back. Tucked away in Point Pleasant, which is close to Wandsworth Town and Riverside Quarter Wharf, this pub serves excellent Harvey's ales and a great range of other beers, wines and spirits. The food offering is currently Latin American themed with a number of well priced and delicious options on the menu. Service is friendly and efficient with the overall management of the pub clearly on top of its game. The inside and outside areas are both attractive and there is a semi-private pool room upstairs. Moreover, for Platinum Jubilee the pub will be organizing a "street party" on the Friday and Saturday with live music.

Great place, good beer selection, with food, theatre, Cinema and outside area, next to the river

Cosy and very friendly stuff. Would recommend! Also their yucca chips are good enough reason to visit!

Excellent pub with the English feel. Great service and vibes. Beautifully decorated and cozy, with a wonderful garden.

Really nice boozer that sits in a lovely quiet spot just along from our house. I would go more often but I'm not allowed to.

The pub was renewed during lockdown and it looks stunning, great choice of beer and a magical beer garden

Super pub with such a quaint toilet!

Very cosy pub - upstairs was very cool as well with a pool table and some comfortable chairs. Not only this but there was even an arcade machine downstairs! Drinks a bit expensive, but reasonable for such a great setting.

I used to come to this pub back in 1990 when they named it the cats back when Roger was the landlord and it was amazing place that no one new about the pub a friendly place to eat and drink love it

Lovely English pub, popped in for a drink and rest while walking the Thames walk. Good choice of beers and wine, had a glass of Marlborough NZ Sauv Blanc which was great! Comfy lounge chairs to relax back in, friendly, efficient service.

A cosy out-of-the-way pub with a wood burning fire friendly staff great drinks and food

Not friendly and not welcoming anymore. Very disappointed that Cats Back pub is no longer charming as it used to be…

Very pleasant, nice pub, good staff and food was okay.

Nice pub, decent interior, nice beer and food menu looked nice. A bit tucked away, so quieter than most in the area, but we'll worth seeking out.

What a refurb!! Great atmosphere, great people. Delicious food and lovely drinks.

I went for a drink here and it's changed a lot recently. Used to be a charming old local. Now it's been revamped, and is more like a bar than a pub. Still decent, just not what I was expecting. For example, creaky wooden stools have been replaced with black leather swivels, lighting has been turned down etc.

Great pub and really fantastic food! This place is tucked away off the beaten track but is really worth finding!

I love this pub! Their new collaboration with Streat Latin Arepas is a win-win for me. I usually go to eat at their other site in street cube Wandsworth. I had the best enchiladas with a Camden pale ale and churros for dessert. What else could you ask for!? The staff is super friendly and there’s always a great atmosphere. Highly recommended

Very cosy local pub with a lot of well behaved dogs on view

Best bar in Wandsworth, Dynamic staff with an always friendly crowd. 👌

This is a great little pub - super friendly staff!

Cute little pub off the beaten track, good selection of ales and lagers on tap, quite a unique and cosy atmosphere with a little beer garden hidden at the back of the building, just a short walk to Wandsworth Park and the Thames River path. We'll worth a visit if one fancies a hussle free, pleasant visit down a quirky lovely little pub.

Excellent pub with great staff, food and drinks!!!!!!!!!

A great quirky, oldy worldy and cosy pub. V friendly staff. A reall hidden gem.

Great pub tucked away behind Wandsworth park. Well kept ales and extremely friendly and welcoming staff that were fantastic. Food was OK

Great service and great guys. Fantastic local pub.

Simpatia dos funcionários e comida deliciosa

My poker place and staff very good
