Balham's best local
Established in 1870 and tucked just off the bustle of Balham High Street, we’ve long been part of the fabric of the local area. From charity fundraisers and community days to dog-friendly afternoons, big-match rugby screenings and our much-loved Sunday roasts, there’s always something going on at your local pub in Balham.
This summer, join us out in our sun-soaked beer garden or settle into our light, airy spaces with a crisp pint, a chilled rosé, or something sparkling from our spritz menu. We’re the perfect spot for easy catch-ups, long-overdue celebrations, and laid-back Sunday lunches that roll into the afternoon.
Our menu brings together modern pub classics and seasonal British dishes, made with the best ingredients summer has to offer. You’ll also find fresh vegan and allergen-friendly options, alongside lighter bites, great coffee and pastries for those in-between moments.
Landlady Anna and the team can’t wait to welcome you down for summer in Balham.
