So, we had lunch today and ordered the fish and chips. But guess what? The fish had a whole bunch of scales on it! It felt like I was biting into a sequin dress. I couldn’t even swallow it, so I had to spit it out onto the napkin. Meanwhile, my husband decided to brave it and eat it anyway. And boy, did he regret it! He ended up throwing up all night, and the fish came out first. When we told the waitress as she was taking away the dish, she apologised and said she’d tell the chef. She also said it was fresh fish. Fresh fish doesn’t mean it’s so fresh that it’s not descaled. We asked for the final bill from another waitress and foe service fee to be taken off the bill, she was hesitant and also said it was fresh fish. Again, fresh fish doesn’t mean you should have to bite into a mouthful of scales. It wasn’t until we said we could either take off the service fee or the fish dish itself that she finally agreed to take off the service charge. My friends had also ordered the fish, but luckily, no trace of scale was found. It must have been just a fluke. The atmosphere was great, and the service was initially good, but then we got zero empathy when we told them the dish was inedible. I’m not so sure we’ll be coming back.

Ordered two glasses of smooth talker Merlot here today - there was something wrong with both glasses - the wine tasted very metallic and unpleasant - the bar staff refused to help - they would not try it and refused to replace it as ‘they have never had complaints before’ - absolutely disgusting service and total waste of money as it was undrinkable

The service has deteriorated so much, and the food is not much better. I used to go to the Hope alot, but I doubt that I will return. You simply cannot run a local pub like this. The staff seem pretty disinterested and not well trained. I don't know what has gone wrong, or why the staff are not customer focussed anymore, but the Hope needs to rethink their approach. I appreciate times are hard for pubs, but skimping on training and staff will leak regulars to the other excellent pubs in the area.

I had to send my Christmas Dinner back, the vegetables were served rock hard, very under cooked and the roast potatoes were served anaemic. We were kept waiting for our table and then waited over 45 minutes for our starters to arrive. After the starters we waited about 45 minutes for our main courses. I returned mine and waited about 20 minutes before a new meal of Christmas turkey arrived. I was not impressed with all the delays between courses especially as we has preordered our 3 course meal. The dessert arrived with the most miniscule amount of custard I had ever seen in my life. I requested another mini serving of custard as one was not sufficient with the very shallow crumble. I would not have a meal there ever again.

We had booked The Hope for a family gathering following a funeral, so we were a party of at least thirty. I had visited in advance to order the buffet and drinks packages; John was very helpful in sorting those out. The buffet was very much appreciated - and so was the offer of takeaway boxes for the last of the guests who had long train journeys ahead of them! Everybody was very complimentary about the venue and the service.

We had a 4pm Sunday afternoon booking that we turned up on time for and waited for 10 minutes to be seated at our table. Once seated service was excessively slow. Once finished our meal the dirty dishes were left uncleared for over half an hour (we actually had to ask someone to clear them in the end). We also had to get up and ask someone to bring us the dessert menu after that. Server was friendly but unaware of all this. Finally, my roast was sub par. I had the roast beef and it came out so overdone it was like cardboard. Could not finish it. All of this is such a shame as I like this pub otherwise. Won’t rush back.

Had Sunday lunch at the Hope. We have had so many disasters on Sunday other pubs and restaurants. This place was fantastic with both food and service and we are particularly fussy. We actually sent one plate back just because it wasn’t warm enough and swapped it for a different dish and there was absolutely no judgement and a very pleasant Response. A lovely lady called Morganza . I’m so sorry if I’ve spelt that wrong. She has an Irish background and has been working there for three weeks. She was fantastic as was all the staff. The food was amazing and my husband is vegan. Roast was the best anywhere will definitely be back. Thank you so much guys

Greatest pub in the area, menu comes up tops for me and the family, the meat is succulent and everything arrives in a timely manner. Who I’m guessing is the manager is a true gent, every time we pop in with the wee ones he always gives them the time of day. Speaking of kids, my son has allergies and they couldn’t be more careful and attentive if they tried. Never felt worried about his dietary needs here and they cater well for vegans. If I could make any food recommendations it would be their Sunday beef, oh man makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Evening atmosphere is lively but never rowdy and a perfect spot for a fireside chat. Great transport links and parking not too far away. Can’t recommend enough, thanks guys and keep up the good work, I can see this place getting better and better. Doggo and cyclist friendly too!

We have visited The Hope on Wandsworth Common on a number of occasions for Sunday lunch with family members, and have never been disappointed ... until now! I booked a table for my aunt, who is in her 80s, my daughter and myself and we arrived on time for our 2.15pm booking. The place was packed, staff were running around waiting tables and there did not seem to be anyone in charge to welcome us on our arrival and take us to our seats. My aunt, who has mobility issues (which I'd mentioned in the online booking) and uses a walking stick, was left to stand and wait for 15 minutes while one of the waiters went off to find a table, and never returned. Customers kept bumping into her as they entered and left the venue, with little care or attention. I found my aunt a seat at an empty table and another waiter said we could sit there instead. There was then a palavar while I queued up to purchase drinks and was told that it wasn't possible to order food from our table - we had to either use the App or order at the counter. I ordered roast beef for my daughter and two nut roasts for my aunt and myself, but was told that there was only one nut roast left. My aunt chose to have something from the small plates menu instead, plus roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese as sides. Forty five minutes later, we were still waiting for our food. The small plate of chicken wings was dumped unceremoniously on the table, but there was no sign of the other two dishes we'd ordered. At 3.20pm - over an hour after arriving - we managed to get the attention of a passing waiter (the most polite and helpful of this disorganised crew), who said that the kitchen was rushed off its feet with orders, but he would see where our meals were. We were eventually served at 3.40pm, nearly an hour and a half after arriving. The food looked like it had been sitting under a hot lamp for most of that time - dry, over-cooked and sloppily served up on the plate. The cauliflower cheese looked like baby food (and that is a generous description)!!! Most definitely this was not worth the £61 price tag for the meal. We decided against ordering desserts or coffees, knowing that it would probably be another hour before they arrived. Instead, my aunt went to use the disabled toilets before leaving. They were locked, and my query to one of the barmen was dismissed impatiently with the following response: "There is probably someone in there and if no one comes out in ten minutes (10 MINUTES!) someone will get you the key!" Fortunately, the nice chappie who was doing his best to cover everything on the restaurant fetched the key immediately. Turns out the toilet was empty all the time - so much for accessibility. As I said at the start, we have visited The Hope on a number of occasions, but this has got to be the most chaotic, shabby and uncaring customer service we have ever experienced. Staff were disorganised and inexperienced, and there was a distinct absence of anyone managing the restaurant! We left, finally, at 4.30pm and are unlikely to return.

Fantastic, the Old Sergeant pub on the south end of Wandsworth, close to the Wandle River is superb. Great choice of keg beers and three casks on offer. Brilliant staff to look after you. The menu, Indian and exciting and not expensive. Great place.

I have gone often and have always been satisfied. tonight the service was stellar, the girl at the counter served me correctly, but the manager was not happy. He stepped in and canceled my order for a beer, claiming I was drunk. In fact, I had only drunk one beer and I had eaten a chicken with rice there. that was the second beer. I asked him how he knew I had been drinking, he answered me rudely and with a contemptuous tone. I would like to take action against this uneducated boy who is not able to communicate with customers and what's more, he insults them. for me today the service is zero minus. I advise other clients to write more realistic feedback for these staff behaviors.

The older man charged my son £1 for kechup on his chips 2 times and when I came he said it was free. The grilled chicken is peppery (spicy) and sour. The wings are to very spicy!!! Cheese burger is not nice.

Visited the exhibit yesterday and had an amazing time! Went with 2 friends and made 4 more. The staff is a 10/10 for service and vibes, and I can’t wait to go back and explore more of the venue - it’s huge!

Had a fantastic evening with friends. I was expecting a typical pub but was surprised by the decor, all very modern and clean. The toilet was immaculate! Very relaxing with comfy sofas and a log burner. Clara was a first class waitress very accommodating and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble, she explained the Rose wine to us and recommended a delicious one. Fish and chips very good. I’ll definitely be returning.
