Lovely furnishing, great service and cheerful patrons. The pub is also in a very well connected spot with plenty of buses stopping a few steps away which is always a plus.

It was nothing to write home about I am afraid. Really disappointing. Not sure if the chef was having a bad day but potatoes were burnt couldnt find the carrot on my plate because it came like a pure, gravy was just watered down.. if that was home made gravy then maybe you should use the one from the jar(bisto gravy). I would like to say sorry to the latchmere pub for turning away after two visit all for wanting to try something different. And whats with the dog friendly in a place where humans eat, god sake they are animals. Some of us have allergies. The one star was for the manager.

Great disappointment. Having heard very good comments about their Sunday roast we decided to give it try. Food is overpriced, the gravy is nothing but a bland runny juice and the potatoes were definitely overcooked and tasteless. Also, be aware that as read from their website dogs are allowed and that's and statement, expect yourself to be sourranded by dogs. Definitely not the right place for a person with allergies, as in this pub dogs come first. On a positive note, the staff was very friendly and attentive.

Amazing food and professional staff! We booked Dukes private room to celebrate my sons bday. All our guests said the food was delicious. Nelson and Jennifer - who looked after us on the day- did a great job during what it was a very busy day for the pub (bonfire night). Highly recommended.

This tiny sausage roll and small pot of chips cost about 10. "made on the premises" was the reason given. That used to be how we kept meals cheaper when I worked in a kitchen. Fewer intermediaries taking a cut. Meat was solid, pastry was limp. I was made to feel like I was being totally unreasonable and that no one had ever mentioned the value for money.
Did I mention how tiny it was? Two stars because at least they refunded me for it. Really disappointing and makes lunch stressful not relaxing.

Excellent pub in the heart of Battersea with great food too. There is a great selection of beer on tap and the seating is comfortable both indoors and outdoors (out front).

Excellent staff and pub. Lovely decor, ample outdoor seating. Capacity of about 100 people, which was fantastic because we had just over 40 people coming. Staff was very accomodating and bubbly/ helpful. Overall great experience
