The Telegraph Pub in Wandsworth

Lovely place to eat. Highly recommended. Very popular place to eat. Always book a table as really busy. Special mention to our waitress. Alessiah, a good worker. Checking if everyone was happy. Friendly. Rushed off her feet but always smiling. Was outside in the tent yesterday. Which was so busy. A good hard worker. Worth her weight in gold. Thank you so much.

Such a wonderful atmosphere created by the locals here. It feels like you're in the countryside, away from the bustle of the high street. Great tasting pints, and friendly service. I'll be coming back here soon!

Beautiful pub and garden with a great selection of beer on tap and food. Excellent if you are gluten free - extensive gf menu and a gf IPA on tap.

AVOID THIS PUB AT ALL COSTS! We had Sunday dinner here and this pub is for "vibes"/atmospher and booze, not much else. It looks pretty and has some advertised cask ales, there's nothing else here to make the arduous journey out to The Telegraph and potentially damage your car with the numerous deep holes in their parking lot. The food is actually pretty bad, something I have rarely experienced in London. The Sunday roast beef was literally 2 thin sandwich slices with what seemed like Bisto gravy granules. The brownie with chocolate sauce and ice cream somehow tasted of metal... like a cheap corner store brownie heated up in the microwave. The service was poor to non-existent. We were seated in the empty first floor, about 20 to 30 other empty tables, and we struggled to get our server's attention. At one point, she was replacing cutlery on an empty table and ignoring us, while we were the only guests on the whole floor. Eventually, a busboy saw me and took our food order. This pub has shown up on several "Best of Putney" restaurant lists, making me doubt those publications now and gives me certainty that The Telegraph is buying good press/reviews. If you're looking for an evening out at a charming pub with good food, go look somewhere else, this isn't the place for you (or anyone really).

Excellent food and staff, even though it was very busy we were served quickly and the food arrived in good time as well

Really loved our experience at the Telegraph, the food was Amazing! It's such a beautiful pub inside and out. We felt very welcomed when we arrived. The Menu was great and we couldn't decide what we wanted as everything sounded so delicious. We went for a roast in the end and it really was the best Roast I had eaten in years! Really polite and attentive staff, I can't recommend the pub highly enough. We cant wait to return.

The staff here were amazing and a true asset to the business. They were very helpful, nice, kind and attentive even when busy. We had a Sunday roast, the quality was great and the portions were big. Would happily go every Sunday if we lived locally.

Steeped in history, this beautiful pub is stunning in every single way you could possibly imagine. The one thing that was upsetting was a drink bought for me, lemonade and fresh limes. in a pint glass and was charged at £6.00 As it was rather a cool night outside, it was less busy. Sadly, it was ruined by some very loud dinner guests. It was a perfect way to end a lovely day

Gorgeous pub, gorgeous Sunday roast. Great atmosphere, super friendly staff, and delicious fish and chips and vegan roast. Staff went out of their way to get us a table even though we hadn’t booked and it was busy. Favourite local pub in Putney.

Sunday roast visit today, along with a friend and my daughter. Your staff are so kind and graceful. Lovely atmosphere and as cosy as I had expected.

The pub experience at its best. Lovely setting, cozy atmosphere, excellent food and quick, exact service. We love the Telegraph and will keep coming back!

Really lovely cosy pub and the service was friendly and attentive. We’lll be back!

Love this pub - great food, lovely inside and outside spaces, fab atmosphere. Great one to bring our dog and family to!

A busy bustling pub that felt like you were in the country. Service was amazing. The Sunday Roast was elite!

We are regular customers and we always enjoyed the service and the food. The last few times the food was below average and came twice cold. We asked to reheated. The schnitzel was basically chicken breast in bread crumbs and the onion soup was nothing like onion soup completely different taste. The pizza was very boring and poor quality. I hope it improves as we love this place very much.

Epic Sunday Roast - always my 1st choice in the area

Staff were all lovely and we really enjoyed the whole atmosphere! 10/10 !

Good big Sunday lunches with great views and garden...can actually be lulled into believing you've left London for the afternoon. Huge amount of space and helpful courteous staff. Big benefit for us is to walk here, arrive with toddlers, muddy boots and paws and find we are welcome!

A lovely evening with amazing food, service and atmosphere. Would love to come again. Small downside, being given menus with food stains, doesn't give a good first impression.

Such a lovely place, located in the middle of the park, with tasty food. Loved the risotto

We went here tonight in a group and were really impressed by the food, atmosphere and waiters. Special shout out to Kiani and Luke! Thanks for a great night

Fab meal at the telegraph, especially thank you to Kiani and Luke!! Will defo come back!

Such a lovely night, amazing food! Such good services, Luke was a gem on advising what to order and later in the night Kiani (Lovely girl from Florida) was also a star in serving us. Very cosy will be going back

Lovely food and atmosphere.. wonderful evening thanks to Kiani and Luke

Exquisite dishes and excellent service. 1 star less from 5 due to a mistake in serving the dish immediately rectified

Lovely atmosphere and the food is good

I have been and it is a cozy place where you are very comfortable

AMAZING!! I got stuck in traffic and it took nearly an hour to get there but it was entirely worth it! Lovely atmosphere and incredible food!!

Nice pub inside and out was one of my old haunts from the past was visiting to day bar staff friendly was a lovely day

Love the pub, good vibe, well furnished and decorated. Great selection of beers and the menu is good but service is hit and miss. Manager didn't seem to know where to seat us despite having a reservation. Didn't bring us menus or water. Had to look for a waiter to ask for service and it was still early in the evening. Food came out far too quickly, almost no break between starters and mains. Although food is tasty a little more thought and effort could go into the presentation.

Good service and friendly. Just what you want from a local. Staff are attentive, no having to wait to get their attention, and well presented and friendly. A well stocked bar with a good range of beers and spirits. The food and service has always been excellent. No long waits between courses. The facilities are clean and well kept. A large garden area, which is very busy in summer. You do get the feeling that it is more like a country pub. Freshly made and cooked pizzas are on offer from the garden kitchen. Also available to take away. The garden area has recently been landscaped, no more muddy trails to the outside tables.

Best pub I’ve ever been to - incredible food and lovely service! Will be back 🎉

A first time visiting, the service and atmosphere was extremely good. I enjoyed my Fish and Chips too. I would happily return.

Beautiful pub that harkens back to a time long gone. Great selection of beer and wine. Food is fresh and tasty with a decent choice of vegetarian dishes. The cauliflower tandoori was great but not hot (temperature) as I would expect. Other dishes also arrived cool. Plenty of seating inside and out. Helpful staff. Very dog friendly.

Very busy so service took some time food and beer excellent.

A must on a hot sunny day - the outside area is beautiful

Absolute gem of a pub. Such great food and vibe. The place was busy as it was sunny but the service was great. The staff were super friendly and efficient. They catered well to our little toddler and were super great with her too. The manager checked in with us and had a chat too. They really care. I wish I had room for dessert after my roast but I made my partner promise to bring me back for pudding one day

A hidden gem of a place. Beautiful pub with lots of space. Superb table service. Lovely cheerful staff. Pimèntos de padron best outside of Spain ever had. Gazpacho soup gorgeous. Lovely setting and you can watch the sunset behind the trees or people watch etc. Very popular place, so I would book.

An average place to eat. Service is ok as is the food

Beautiful pub surrounded by nature. The staff were friendly, the food delicious and we were lucky to get a table outside on a sunny day!

Very happy staff food lovely service was a little slow but not really complaint of sought as it was a family getogether staff very smart and attentive clean tidy tables and area

Ok so I’m giving full marks across the board here for sound reason. Great food, staff fabulous, great location and plenty of room to accommodate 10’adults with two babies in tow. Granted it was a busy Sunday service and no , food did not come out in the style of a fast food joint why would it - food on the plates was clearly prepared to order. We live our lives in the fast lane at times. Waiting for the mains after a very speedy first course left 10 close family members times to chat and catch up and have a wonderful hour or so of random conversation. The delay was clearly down to the popularity of the Pub. Staff were gracious and without any complaint from the table recognized the delay and made a spontaneous and very welcome gesture as an apology. That to me is perfect service. Oh and for the non meat eaters out there the veg Sunday roast was the best I have had. How many times do plant based options come out bland and boring ( despite huge promises). You will not be disappointed if you choose their Sunday veg roast!

I feel I have to give feedback on a terrible dining experience here yesterday. We waited almost an hour for a main course. When prompted the staff lied it was ‘being plated up’. 20 minutes later still nothing, a further prompt and we received two plates of cold inadequate food. Supposed to be Tandoori cauliflower with onion Bhaji and sag aloo. There was no bhaji (which they did warn us about) no spinach but just some sautéed potatoes with spiced cauliflower. So a plate of cauliflower, potato and leaves. For £17. An utter rip off. The staff were dismissive and gave an unprompted discount but even then we still paid too much. I have visited several times before and had polite well trained staff and decent food. Hence another visit. This time the staff were all inexperienced, poorly trained, no empathy for providing terrible food and did not know how to deal with a complaint. Paid minimum wage for summer holiday cover? Not sure what has happened here but definitely will not be visiting again.

Service was excellent, Super accommodating, great food with quick service and it has beautiful decor!

After a walk in Richmond Park found this lovely pub on the drive home. Gluten free fish and chips! Sat in the lovely garden, great atmosphere and great service.

Found this pub by mistake when we took a wrong turn. Lovely find. Great service, good menu. Good covid precautions in place. Well done ! 14/5/23 Ate again here for Sunday lunch with our dogs. We were served by the lovely ELIZA, sunny Sunday good food. Thank you ❤️ Again great lunch and service very relaxed with our two dogs. Well done guys

Great outdoor space. Not enough staff! Food was acceptable and service was hit and miss (because of lack of staff rather than the staff themselves who I think were doing their best!). But on a temperate summer's day it is a superb space which made this 4 star rather than 3

Wonderful to revisit after several years. Great seasonal menu, excellent food well.presented. Will want to come back often!

Incredible atmosphere sitting outside in summer. Very busy, so food was slow and cold. Service was overwhelmed by the people.

Very pleasant visit for a birthday lunch, food was excellent as was the service, there is a good selection of real ale all well kept and reasonably priced, inside and out is well maintained and comfortable ideal for either a meal or just a quick drink, staff are always welcoming and the atmosphere is great. We'll worth the visit. 02/18/24 Still great service, beer is still good, atmosphere is still lovely, happy to keep recommending. Well worth the visit as always.

Decent place, positive vibe, however staff completely disconnected from clientelle

Lovely oub especially on a nice day, the pizzas are great - and the staff all very friendly

We frequent this place regularly. My mother is disabled and the staff make an extra effort to make her feel comfortable. We were very happy with Kyone (I hope I spelt her name correctly). The atmosphere is great and we would highly recommend

Warm atmosphere, good service and food

A lovely setting. Reasonable menu. Fair service levels. One must question the questionable ethics of the imposed 12.5% addition of service charge/gratuity. Businesses should pay staff adequately and gratuities should be at the discretion of the patron.

The food and service this time were not as good as before. Last time I gave it 5 stars and a commendation. What a pity. The Telegraph is a dog friendly and child friendly pub in the lovely setting of Putney Heath. Outside tables and car parking.

This pub is fantastic spacious and cozy, tucked away in a charming, secluded location with free parking. The food is excellent, and it's both kid and pet-friendly, making it perfect for families and friends to spend time together. The outdoor area is wonderful too.

This is a stunning pub with a beautiful beer garden to spend a warm summers evening (come on UK Summer 2024- we are ready for you!!). Staff are friendly and attentive. My only gripe is the lack of more veggie options. Only two out of a fairly otherwise large choice for meat/ fish eaters is disappointing in this day and age. When so many of us are eating less or no meat it just doesn’t reflect that sadly. But otherwise lovely pub.

This is our local. Beautifully refurbished just before the first lockdown, the new manager and his team have had a hard act to follow. But there are still great beers, plenty of nice garden seating, good food, and a friendly welcome.

Best food and drink in London - truly inspiring pizza, cracking steak and a great wine list and selection of beers to go alongside. A must visit Mecca.

Snack portions could be little bit larger ;)

Great place for a drink after a lovely walk.

Nice Place for families. There Is a lot of space outside with tables and games for children. It Is possible to see sport event.

Price is too high. Pint is nearly £9.

Absolutely amazing service every time we go and all set for summer with a gorgeous garden to sit in.

I have been coming to The Telegraph for very many years and today I thought the staff were really rather curt and unfriendly telling us in no uncertain terms we had to pay for our food on ordering if we were sitting in the garden. Yes I understand the reason why but a smile and a civil manner would have been nice. Was then told to give our table number which of course at that time we didn't have so instructed to go and find the number. There is a way of asking people and then there is the pretty abrupt rude way which is what we encountered today. The garden is lovely and really well cared for but unfortunately the staff completely spoilt our visit today.

I have been visiting this pub for over 3 years. It has changed drastically recently, especially the food quality. Last time I visited for fish and chips, the chips were not cooked properly. I thought that was just an isolated incident, as this pub has always provided food of a high standard. However, I visited again today, and it was not the case. The size of the fish was much smaller than before, and the fries were cold—worse than the ones I've ordered from McDonald's via Deliveroo. I quickly scanned through the recent comments on the pub and realized they have changed management. I believe that's the reason for the decline. This pub has lost my trust, and I will never come back again. It is really a shame, as this pub has a sought-after location and a cozy interior. Think we should thanks for the current economic environment, time is harsh.

We went for a Father’s Day meal. I dont think we will eat there again. Really impressive pub and in a place we love, but bad experience and not necessary. I sent back the risotto because it didn’t contain the ingredients advertised and literally tasted like an old drain. (menu says broad beans but they were Edamame beans, then they were cubes of cheese on top that tasted really nasty. I was told this was vegan feta but tasted more like really terrible goats cheese to me). The alternative risotto was brought back out by someone more senior who seemed quite cross as she served me. The original waitress came back to say admittedly the risotto on the menu did not at all match the risotto I was served and that they would be changing the menu accordingly. All was fine. Then we ordered the summer fruit pudding among many other puddings for the table. The waitress had very kindly helped us select things we would be able to eat as one of the children had wobbly teeth and needed something soft. One bite and I had to spit it out because the fruit in the centre had started fermenting (effervescent ‘off’ flavour completely inedible). I sent it back and we ordered ice cream instead. Once again the senior lady came out and this time argued with me telling me that there was nothing wrong with the pudding. It had been made fresh that day, the chef had tasted it and it wasn’t off. I explained that I could not accept this explanation. The fruit may have fermented within a few hours and this was a risk with summer fruit pudding. It would also have been foolish of us to eat it an risk getting sick. I wonder what she hoped to achieve by this display of inhospitality? Does making sure your guests know you think their opinion is incorrect add to the value of your business or the happiness of your staff? Of course the chef would tell the front of house there was nothing wrong with the dish. I doubt they tasted it as i had spat back onto the plate. My mother sniffed the pudding and recoiled at the smell of fermenting fruit. I was pleased they didn't ask us to pay for the pudding but the staff ego trip has cost them a poor review and return custom. Manners cost nothing and making otherwise well behaved guests feel valued and respected counts for everything in the front of house business.

Lovely pub. Food and service were excellent.

I had lunch here for the first time and really liked the place. It starts with getting there, you feel you are deep in the countryside while you are actually in London. Parking is easy and the gastropub has good parking and a nice outdoor seating area. . We were seated fast and without fuss and the place smells pleasant. The menu was more interesting than some other gastropubs I felt. I had the chicken liver for starters which was excellent. Main was a Caesars Salad with chicken which was good. Pricing was adequate considering the quality and location. All in all a good experience and I will be back.

Lovely pub, great customer service. Good choice of food and drink, reasonably priced. Would recommend going for dinner or a drink or two.

Since the new manager Jader has arrived this place has gone downhill rapidly. The food is inedible, the service on the whole is appalling - clearly none of the staff have any customer service training. Jader possesses no people skills whatsoever and should not be public facing - he certainly does not set a good example to his staff - who on earth decided he was the best person for the role following Alesha’s departure? This pub used to be great and reliable - now it’s a place to avoid. I hope Brunning & Price do something to shake this place up because sadly at the moment the only thing going for it is the lovely setting and a pub cannot survive on that alone.

Very busy - overall a good experience.

I am visiting from America and my wife's cousins have been taking us to various pubs and this is my favorite. It has a beautiful outdoor area that is perfect for chilling especially for family's. The building itself is also absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend this place.

The place is really lovely on a sunny Sunday! It was a busy day so the service was a bit messy, but the real disappointment was the food, unfortunately really nothing special as it was really bland and the flatbread looked like it came from Asda :(

A lovely place to enjoy a meal with friends, staff very friendly and busy. Unfortunately staff had no structure when it came to dealing with orders and serving. Bit disappointed on that perhaps it was a hectic day all around. Food was good 👍

Called in for a drink, they have spent a lot on the gardens very nice to sit in the sun and sip a pint.

great ambience, atmosphere.. outdoor patio is nice on sunny days.. you have to go and order at the bar and the food is served to your table.. great service.. loved the desserts the mains we had were Ok.. not many vegetarian options.. there is parking in the back

My fav spot! Food, service, vibe! When weather is nice the garden is a an hidden gem and when it rains the rooms inside are warm and cosy. You can’t go wrong! Just love this place xxx

We have been going to this pub regularly for quite some time. Sadly over time the service has become extremely poor. Each time we go, the food order is wrong, we wait an extraordinary amount of time or food is cold. Nothing is ever rectified or improved. Very sad.

Perfect experience. Roast on a sunny May Sunday and it was sublime. Good portion size, fair price and quick service. Only thing I’d say is they need to put reserved signs on the tables, the amount of times their staff needed to usher people away from booked tables was just a burden for them on a very busy day.

Great setting but drinks expensive!

I walked up with my son from Wimbledon. Ordered him ice-cream which was served half-melted and no cutlery. I politely asked the waiter for a spoon and was told to go inside to get one 🤯 There’s a lot of belligerent men here, who the staff seem to pander to. Just expect to be ignored at the bar and under appreciated if you visit :(

Great local pub with a great ambiance. Had dinner with friends on Friday night which was extremely busy as you would expect and a special mention to Jennifer who was our waitress serving us with a smile and enthusiasm that made our night that much better. Overall a lovely evening and highly recommend a visit especially on a sunny day for a beer in the garden.

Large beer garden for families with excellent seating areas

Tasty buffet, generous portions. Friendly, helpful staff. Upstairs room very nice for a private event.Good location with such easy parking adjacent.Manager really helpful with all queries quickly responded to.Couldn't fault it!

Always a welcoming place with really good food and helpful service. One of our favourits 👍

Delicious food, we will be back!

Good food reasonably priced. Kind, attentive staff. Very busy so book a table. Parking limited at the pub (my daughter and I both have mobility difficulties), but there seems to be plenty in the streets a short distance away. Quite rural for walkers and bikers.

A gem of a pub on the heath. Food and drinks are waaay above average. Perfect for summer evenings because of the beer garden and winter ones too!

My husband and I had the most delicious dinner. We had two courses each of main and dessert. The food was exceptional. We ate every morsel. Clean plates were taken back to the kitchen. I love good food and appreciate the hard work that goes into preparing and cooking food. We will be back again. We've always had great food at the Telegraph which is by far the best place to eat in Putney. The service was very good. We were well looked after by the waiter with the curly hair!

I was recommended this swanky upmarket traditional pub. I spent ages admiring all the deco and old posters!! :D The Pub has a great relaxed atmosphere and really loved the fish and chips with thin crispy batter.:) Amazing experience overall and the young staff are very attentive.. Thank you:)

What a wonderful find in Putney Heath! This beautiful and rustic gastropub offers an idyllic respite, a perfect pint and a creative menu. Lots of outdoor tables, as well. The interior feels cozy and quintessentially British!

Avoid this place if you are under 80 and want to have a fun time. We had an absolutely horrible evening at this pub - we were celebrating something with friends and within a few minutes of sitting down (before even having a drink) a vile, snotty old lady approached our table from the other side of the room and told us to be quiet - I have never been so shocked in my life. Unless you are looking for a pub full of nasty old people where you can sit in silence then do yourself a favour and don’t go here. How upsetting that the nasty locals go out of the way to ruin peoples evenings. Would never step foot in here again.

Looked a nice pub but ruined for us by the frequent loud barking of a bulldog type dog which, on one occasion, set off other (otherwise well-behaved) dogs. The owners did nothing. I won’t be back.

I have been in this pub every time I travel to London because its my friends favorite, but I have to say that you guys have a friendly staff, the food is super fresh and tasty and the cozy environment makes it so comfortable; even when the waiter got one order wrong, he came and apologise and the they served the right dish, always with a friendly smile

Really great pub, perfect for Sunday roast.

Beautiful pub at The Heath. The decor and atmosphere was stunning which is the highlight. The food was pretty decent as well. A bit expensive. Service staff was great but seemed like they were a bit understaffed so the food and drinks all took a bit of time to come. Overall lovely place to visit

How any one go there when dogs are sick on perade. Disgusting. Going to be a inquirer. Be coved up. It’s the nail in the coffins. Disgusting

Lovely pub. We attended a wake here and the food, drinks and service was great. The hot food from the lunch menu also looked great and the Sunday lunch menu sounds amazing.
