Best Gastro Pubs in Balham

A favorite in london. Great table near the fire, very attentive and friendly staff, fabulous food, every course. Highly recommend.

The food and service are exactly what you’d expect from a good Gastro pub, however, it doesn’t do much beyond that. You’d get just as good a meal at a Gastro pub nearby, but here, you’re paying at least £20 more per person for a roast that has a Michelin Star. The experience doesn’t quite justify the inflated price.

Once again, The Fox & Pheasant has provided an excellent Sunday Roast! Great food, service and ambience. In addition, the staff went over and beyond and provided a small surprise for a birthday amongst our group. I look forward to returning again very very soon!

The Valentine's Day set menu was absolutely delicious and incredibly good value with generous portions. My girlfriend and I both had the mushroom risotto to start which was wonderfully creamy but not too rich or stodgy. Just perfect. We shared the lamb chops for a main. They were very generous with five big cuts between us, each cooked to just the right level of pinkness. It was on a bed of what I think was Ratatouille which was very tasty (there was so much we couldn't finish it) and very crispy roast potatoes on the side. The puddings, a chocolate torte and a strawberry raspberry coulis with meringue were fantastic and complimented each other well to share. The chocolate was incredibly rich but not overpowering and the fruity pudding was a tasty pallette cleanser. The service was great. The woman serving us was very nice and attentive especially considering how busy the place was.

Excellent Sunday roast. Potatoes could do with some improvement but the rest was very good. Great wine list and service.
