This turquoise gem on Battersea Rise is a cool quirky local pub that doesn't try too hard. This place is vast yet because it's always so busy (and with warm lighting) it always feels quite cosy. A special mention must go to the homemade flavoured vodkas and the large variety of Gins & specialist beers on offer. This is a great place for a swift half, I haven't eaten there for a long time but when I did the food wasn't bad either.
A bit of an all-round great spot in Battersea, whether it be for a pub lunch or something substantial before a night out in groovy Clapham. In winter, it's a great spot to get stuck into their bloody mary's and while away a few hours with board games but it still manages to be quite airy and light in mid-summer.
For this particular outing, we're a group having dinner before heading to nearby Northcote Records for some boogying. I have the Earl Grey Gin with Fever Tree tonic and I love that Fever Tree Tonic (The Cristal of Tonic water) is served as standard. We then move onto the Prosecco and this is refreshingly good value for a bottle of fizz.
The menu is hard to choose between and between us, we have the Chicken Caesar salad, Cheeseburger and fries, Fish and chips and Southern fried chicken with coleslaw and chicken. My caesar salad is creamy and I love the anchovies on top and everyone else pronounces their meal a resounding success as well. We share a grilled mac and cheese and I don't know what the grilled portion but it comes with slow roasted tomatoes and is incredibly moreish.
The only fly in the ointment is having to go up to the bar to order, but that's because we're dining in the bar rather than the more staid upstairs area.
The live music was a nice touch on Friday evening, although was a bit too loud to have an easy conversation.
The ambience and food was great and the staff were pleasant.
You can scan a QR code at the table, which makes things easier if you’re sat upstairs.
