The Jolly Gardeners in Wandsworth

Great local pub, whether just for drinks or food as well. Popular with regulars and genuinely friendly staff, independently owned without the chain feel. Recommend the smoked chicken dippers in particular

My wife and I are in London for 3 months and we have found this quaint pub The Jolly Gardeners on Garrett Road. Three guys run the pub; Mike, Lee, and today we met James. Such nice fellows and easy to talk to. The food is excellent. We will absolutely be back often. We plan on working our way thru the menu options and there are many. LOL

Excellent food and drink, peace and quiet

Absolutely love this pub - the food is always incredible (best pizza in London!) and the staff are so lovely - helpful and accommodating.

Very friendly service. Great food and garden. Check the website for shorter food hours.

Great night, New summer menu was lovely (food was tasty, seasoned well), great service, friendly staff.

Fantastic Sunday Roast. Top notch food and service with a smile.

Surprisingly the best Sunday lunch in the area. Very friendly service.

Great little pub with friendly people we met some staff from the local school great night

Excellent Sunday lunch. Highly recommended.

Great pub to hit up in Earlsfield! Small and cheerful :)

Pleasantly surprised by this unassuming pub, the service was great, staff are very friendly, and the food was delicious

Best roast beef in South London. Unbelievable quality and value.

An excellent boozer. Ian and Lee are behind the bar are top blokes happy to chat. Extremely friendly atmosphere and the choice of local Ale makes it well worth it.

Food was overcooked to the point of being burnt around the edges. Would expect better for the price. Service was good which helped offset. Plenty of parking options nearby too.

Amazing place to be! Customer service is excellent. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Loved it

Favourite local pub. Service & food always superb!

We held our wedding party here 3 weeks back. The most perfect of days. We had a couple of meetings with Adam the owner and opted for canapés and a bbq. We had the restaurant area and garden to ourselves which comfortably accommodated 60 guests. We had no formal seating plan which can be quite boring having to sit at pre determined tables. Guests were able to freely wander around mingling all day. The food itself was fantastic. Adam did a brilliant job with the bbb and all our guests commented on how good it was. We did bring in an outside company to decorate the place on the day with flowers, candles, lighting etc. And our dj friends provided the music and equipment The bar staff were brilliant and Adam even let us play the music past the agreed time given everyone was having a great time If you want to hold a less formal stuffy wedding event I would highly recommend the Jolly Gardeners. Great service and food from Adam & his team

Definitely my favourite pub in Earlsfield. The service makes all the difference!

Terrible Guinness, awful staff. Very aggressive with customers. Definitely somewhere to avoid. Not a good vibe.

Was here for a private event in the garden. Really friendly staff, great suntrap and food was good quality!

Yum! Tasty food, quick service. Nice atmosphere in Garden.

The independent Jolly Gardeners is a real Earlsfield gem. Lovely food, and brilliant, friendly, service.

Great local pub & restaurant, great for social occasions and casual meetups. Friendly staff and excellent menu for small bites or full meals

A great pub with friendly staff

My local pub, really good! Really good food and good atmosphere 🍻

Great food and drinks selection, fantastic pub

Lovely staff. Huge plates of food. Chilled atmosphere.

Outstanding selection of food, drinks and impeccable service. The best of Earlsfield.

Really nice food and friendly and efficient staff. Food is good value too.

Perhaps a little embarrassing but for the 3rd Sunday out of the last 4 we went to the the Jolly Gardner's for Sunday lunch. This time to celebrate my youngest daughter's 6th birthday. The food was excellent as always and the service as good, if not better than the food. It's not often you get staff as attentive and skilled as this in a local pub. The kids had fish and chips, perfectly cooked with a light crispy batter. The roasts were pork, 2* beef and I had the beetroot ravioli. Normally the outlaws wouldn't eat a full plate, not this time. They compared it to their Sunday lunch at the Cliveden... and Jolly Gardner was leagues ahead. For pudding, the menu is a little limited but we managed to work our way through 3 delicious chocolate brownies. If you want to eat here, you'll probably have to book. Every table was reserved when we arrived.

A very nice pub. Food looks great. Staff are very nice.

Fantastic venue, best service in London I would go as far to say. Locally opened and independent which makes this place even better in my opinion. The roast is another level and I will continue to frequent this place as long as I am in London and it’s still here. Please go and support and see for yourself

Food is epic and the staff are the cherry on top!

I do not often review pubs but the staff were rude and we were made to feel unwelcome, DO NOT RECOMMEND.

BEST PLACE IN LONDON! There were lots of locals. It's a bit out of the way for tourists, which we really liked. Just a wonderful menu, clean, cool, perfect. My food was amazing. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Excellent food and wine, very attentive staff but they started cleaning up the tables and room so we had the feeling we needed to leave after 10.30pm. Wasn't cozy anymore unfortunately

Amazing food, great atmosphere and service!

Fantastic pub, fantastic staff, spent the evening there meeting with some old friends and watching the rugby. Were looked after brilliantly, great beer, fantastic food, awesome service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very pleasant place to have a drink and meal with lovery outside beer garden.

Great little pub especially for food. Love the Natchios here and you get loads.

Excellent place to go to with superb food ,drink and service with a smile. Hidden gem thats very popular, always have a great time whilst being there either inside or in the large outside space.

Exceptional service with incredibly attentive staff who went above and beyond to make a private party a wonderful event. Delicious food!

A fantastic pub, I've been going for years - perfect for a quick drink, but just as good for a special occasion meal. The bar snacks are epic (and massive, be careful not to order too many!). The staff are awesome too.

Cool little pub, good menu, especially on the little plates to share front. Beer selection is a little limited. Plenty of TV screens for BT sport and Sky. And Tayto crisps for the Irish contingent! What more could one ask for!

Stevie and staff were really hospitable and friendly. Stevie also played some good music for us as we sat in the lovely beer garden. Will certainly return and next time sample the food....Carefree,😎

Dog friendly pub that serves great food with helpful staff…can’t ask for anything else! Would highly recommend 🙂

Friendly, efficient staff both at the bar and serving the tasty food. Pleasant and very welcome garden that just lacks a little warmth.

We enjoyed a lovely meal here with family. I had the fish cakes, which were very tasty. We sat out the back patio area. Would recommend. Staff are excellent.

A great place to have a drink in with a nice backyard garden

Buen sitio para tomar algo o comer,es family friendly, un lujo poder ir con niños a cenar con los amigos 👍

La comida es buena, la atención estupenda. Nos ha gustado mucho la verdad!

Friendly staff and tasty food. But prices are high, other wise I would have been rate it 5. Chicken Burger with fries cost me £15

A big fan of this pub, don’t let the outside deceive you, the garden has a berry vibrant feel to it and even has a TV out there. A covered area also which means you can enjoy this beer garden no matter the weather

Excellent pub with friendly service. Would recommend. Fair selection of drinks. Not too busy. Good food too.

Very friendly, good food and drinks menu, great local pub

The Jolly Gardeners is a great local pub, with a good outside area. The food is always excellent and the staff are friendly & helpful. I just wish they could ensure I was always getting a full pint, though the inability to do this seems pretty common in most pubs!

Booked based on other reviews, and super glad we chose this pub. Amazing service Outstanding food Great atmosphere We had the roast, which was one of the best, great gravy, crispy fluffy potatoes, succulent beef with steak knifes!!! And a great oven warm brownie You have got to try!!!

Such lovely staff and great food! The atmosphere was perfect for what we were after on a Friday evening. The lady serving us was excellent- so lovely and personable!

We found this lovely little pub a few months back. Ask the staff behind the bar if they did food they were quite happy to say yes we do. So had some lovely food that evening with my wife. Thoughts will bring the kids back this time totally forgetting that we had the dog with us. We asked staff if we could bring the dog in and they were happy to oblige and say yes there is not a problem at all. Sat down with the children and had a lovely meal with no complaints. Unusually kids do not really like vegetables but even our youngest Emma was quite happy to try a few. I could just pop a five star rating for one reason being polite manners go and awful long way. And the food is great and is also a lovely little pub with good Beer.

I love this pub. Food is always so good and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend the roasts…. Absolutely delicious, well worth a visit!

When they stopped serving roasts for the summer I was forced to look elsewhere. So I tried The County Arms, Selkirk, Wheatsheaf, Belle Vue, Rose and Crown (Clapham), Kings Head. All were a disappointment in comparison. Not only does The Jolly Gardeners offer the best, but it is shy of £20!

Food,music can be intrusive. Lovely pint of Sambrooks Ale

What the place might lack in atmosphere makes it up for the wonderful service and company. Cannot fault the staff at all who are some of the friendliest, and very baby/child friendly. Food is very good too.

Small selection of beers, but nice snacks. Good for a meeting spot.

A nice homely pub. A great spot!

Best roast I've had in a long time

Good place to take a family. Waiters/waitress very helpful

Nice local pub in Earlsfield, good selection of food and drinks and friendly staff.

Steve and crew provide great food and warm, friendly environs.

Only came in because got here early for a wedding had fish and chips amazing food for a small pub highly recommend it am sitting here now eating couldn't wait until I got home to leave review really expressed wit service

The Place can be very good. Good location, friendly staff, good taste beer. Unfortunately all the tables, apparently clean, was sticky. I've ordered a chicken Caesar's Salad but something was wrong. First, I only add grated parmesan on my pastasciutta with tomato sauce, never on Caesar's Salad and in every case, grated parmesan needs to be served apart. There are also some others bad points. The dish was not the good one for cutting pieces of chicken, the Caesar's dressing was exchanged with garlic mayo, the chicken was warm, the eggs was coming out directly from the cold fridge. I think was the worst Caesar's Salad in my life especially after paid for this £ 12. Two stars because the good beer.

First visit here last night with my family . My sons have just moved across the road from here so this is their nearest pub. We had a table for 6 the food was good and the service was nice and friendly . We’ll definitely come again .

Great Sunday roast dinner & great value

Absolutely amazing food the burger was fantastic cooked just how I like it. Shame I couldn't finish it as I had a starter awell staff are amazing and on point and very polite. Nice atmosphere and a relaxing beer garden aswell. Well done guys xx

I've been wanting a decent pint in a pub garden for a while now and decided by chance to give the Jolly Gareners in Earlsfield a go, as it was on my way home from work. Their COVID arrangement are good, staff are attentive, friendly and willing to make suggestions and the food is great! The Sunday dinner menu looks fantastic, so I definitely plan on visiting again one weekend to taste the fare.

Very good tasty snacks and service. 👍

Saddest burger in recent memory, otherwise decent food for a pub Unfairly priced booze

Great Food, drinks, staff, outdoor area. If you’re in the area I’d recommend giving them a try.

My favourite pub in the area. Excellent selection of drinks and food. From full meals to bar snacks. Very reasonably priced with a large outdoor seating are. Highly recommend.

An absolutely brilliant pub! Very very lucky to have this as my local. The food and service is top notch and there’s a great selection of drinks. Stevie is in a class of his own at making you feel at home. Very pleased to have you back open!

Absolutely love this pub the new outside area is amazing. Food was on point too!!! Japanese chicken sandwich was amazing

Great food and the service is amazingly. Can't go wrong.

Friendly and welcoming. Beautiful food, excellent beer choice. Fantastic beer garden! A gem in south west london.

Very nice experience. The Sunday roast is amazing (both chicken and pork). I've been there 3 times and it never disappoints me. Truly recommended.

Such a cute little pub. The service has been top notch since we arrived. A smile behind the mask. Food is good, but maybe not gastro. Pints are lovely. A great Saturday afternoon haunt.

Supervisor was incredibly rude/aggressive when my friend asked politely about the closing time. He responded by patrionising him about watching the news. It states online that the pub closes at 11pm hence why he asked the question

Service was a little fickle and felt like a provincial 'regulars only' type of venue. Drinks not too pricey for this part of London though. Pub was pleasant inside and airy. Didn't appreciate being made to fill out track & trace.

Nice pub would go there agian. Its could be a bit cheaper but it makes up for the price with serives and good beer

Great atmosphere on a nice busy road.

Been here 3 times with the missus and the boy and always left satisfied. Watch the service charge add-on. Ours was £10...the wife said it should be no more than a fiver and for the first time in ages i agreed with something she said. Lovely staff, outdoor seating if you want. Great Chef. Enjoy

Owner runs a very tight ship! Excellent service Much above other pubs in the area. Good fresh lager on tap, haven't tried food yet.

Very crowded pub. Food was a bit bland.

Really friendly staff. Good covid precautions. Nice outdoor space.

It's been quite hit and miss this pub over the years struggling for identity. Unusual that your closest pub is not your local... having physically walk past it for 14 years to go elsewhere. What is it? I think the layout bothers me. It's main operational trading space is the restaurant at the back and a tiny bar at the front... but it's a pub! Shouldn't they swap it round? Anyway for the first time I can see they got it licked! Super polite reception guiding us through the post lockdown procedures.  Most tables taken inside and out. Friendly efficient table service from surgical masked team. They know what beers they serve when you ask which is essential when you're not allowed to stand at the bar. Sounds basic but a skill not accomplish by most pubs. Cricket was on the telly and what the kids call cool beats playing at the rear.  Always a decent menu in fairness however always always thought slightly overpriced but it is an independent in competition with Young's. The chef didn't look too busy but it was early... I used to joke 'it's not jolly and there's no garden'. I would say it's friendly and has a fab decked area but that doesn't have the same ring to it does it... give it a go.

Spent a socially distanting afternoon there yesterday. The Landlord and staff were most welcoming. Food was fab. Thoroughly recommend this place if you want to venture out in these strange times.

Awesome, really place for a safe pint and some cheat chat 😀

No track and trace system and very strict on tables. Moving table after two hours caused some upheaval and was frowned upon, to the point the man running the place called me a 'pain in the neck'. Other customers were treated with a much more can-do approach, but they did seem selective on this. Some staff lovely, some very 'we can't'. They can't track and trace that's for sure, so I leave my name here through review as some small service to such.
