The Avalon

Went to the Avalon for dinner on a Friday, we sat in the restaurant which had a great atmosphere. We were served by a mixture of 3 or 4 different people but on the whole staff were friendly and helpful, especially when we had to query our order. Overall a great experience, delicious steak - will definitely be back even if just for a drink

Very good pub! Although the garden is really small compared to what we see in the website pictures. Food and service were very good!! I will return. :)

Won the quiz - Alex is a great quiz host. Beer was a little pricey - good selection though. I had Yakima Red, Very nice

Love this place! And I'm about to book again for tonight :)

Lovely food as always! The staff are excellent and the food comes quickly! Very good service and I really like that the staff just come and check with you that everything is okay. And that they refill water without need for asking! It´s not long until next time I´ll have a dinner at The Avalon!

Service was poor - it took ages to get our food, despite the fact we were only getting a pizza, and then getting the Bill as well. The waiters seemed more interested in talking amongst themselves

Service was the worst I have ever encountered. Brought out our mains before our starters, mains were missing items stated on the menu. Awful experience

Booked a table and was left waiting for 45 minutes. Asked manager twice and each time was told it would just be a moment. But food was good.

Really nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. The food was delicious - we had the hanger steak and sea bass which I'd really recommend. Will definitely go back.

Booked a table for the Rugby match (England v Australia), initially there wasnt a table available through to the evening however Daniel and his team kept my details and called me that day to say they had received a cancellation, so THANK YOU! You made our day (even though we lost) - Great venue, great staff and a great day/evening overall!

great pork sunday lunch , great service from the staff, I would deff go back again for sunday lunch with friends and family . must visit

I've not been to The Avalon for a while, and pleased little has changed. Great food, and friendly helpful staff help made it a great evening.

Good food and good atmosphere. Unfortunately the service wasn't excellent... We waited a long time to order and have our food. We even waited for 45 minutes for the dessert... They apologised a lot and took off the dessert from the bill but I would have preferred to eat more quickly.

Very disappointing experience. I booked last night (7/9/2015) a table for two in the dining area. We were seated very quickly and given menus but 15-20 minutes later no one had stopped to ask if we would like to order drinks, let alone food. We were however asked if we wanted to participate in the pub quiz that was being held in the dining area. my understanding is that the lace is under new management. However I think the team need to review their service priorities. Granted the place was busy but as always there were plenty of staff in sight who could have taken a drinks order. As a result we left and went to the Balham Arms - great food, lovely Malbec and very prompt service.

Nice staff and atmosphere was okay Food was average, not amazing for example slow cooked beef was very fatty, choc brownie dry. Think they're better doing pub grub than restaurant food

Great, great food, delicious in fact, but very loud and buzzing on a Saturday night. I would visit again, but perhaps not with my folks.

20 minutes to order two beers at the bar, despite it not being busy. Service painfully slow and sloppy. Big shame as food is actually great as is venue. Need to change front of house staff and management urgently.

Booked a table in the dining room on a Sat night for my family. So loud could barely hear eachother, not suitable for dining, my 60 year old mother didnt appreciate Major Lazor blasting into her ear while she ate. Food nice, but cold.

Good service and nice food although the fish goujon wrap was pretty small. It was described as a 'fish cigar' by my friend who had a delicious looking and huge New York sandwich! There could have been more substance to it considering the price

It was easy to book a table online. There was a small but Good selection of food which was nicely presented and yummy. Good atmosphere. The service was friendly.

Generally a good experience. Quite noisy and table service was unpredictable - we were checked a dozen times to see what we wanted to drink and then left alone a little too long when the third guest arrived: can't win them all. I'd still go back again thought

Very kind attention to us; we always felt welcome by the front of house and well served at all times. The steaks were good too!

Amazing service and lovely food! You should give this resturant a go!

We visited for my fiance's birthday with 4 other friends and we all enjoyed it! Great food, fun quiz and nice staff. I especially recommend pizzas, they are exquisite.

The Avalon is what a good pub should be which is q greta place to sit, relax and spend time with friends. Good beer, decent food, dog friendly, engaging & friendly staff, great outdoor space.

The Avalon is a great pub, fab food with friendly and helpful staff. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and we will definitely be back soon.

Very nice place! The food is good and the waiters are very kind. We have choosen this restaurant as it is a family pub and we can confirmed that the children are very well-welcomed. The booking via quandoo worked very well, our table was booked appropriately according to our requests (pub space in sofa!).

It's a very good quiz. We normally do it in the regent in Balham but go to the Avalon on a Sunday sometimes. Nice pub. Bit too expensive though

Great atmosphere, nice menu choices, good staff. A really great pub. Just a shame my food was a little on the lukewarm side, and my duck was overcooked!

There was a very good selection of beers and excellent quiz which we won! Food looks nice too although we didn't eat. A good pub

We went for Birthday lunch and enjoyed good food and attentive staff, divine desserts and excellent coffee Great decor but cold day so couldn't eat in the garden. Highly recommended

All good generally. They missed off my food order though and I was the first to order at a large table and then they were out of what I wanted so that was disappointing! But otherwise a v. nice night and fun. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

We enjoyed a very pleasant evening at The Avalon. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food, however, was a bit "hit and miss". We'll be back if we're in the neighbourhood again.

Friendly attentive staff as always, food was tasty and well presented. A little disappointed on our visit this time there were quite a number of items not available on the menu, but I'm sure this was out of their control, as we've never experienced this before.

Nice big pub with a more formal restaurant at the back. They were showing the rugby the day I visited so it was very busy, with tables filled by 1:30pm. So, book in advance! The food was nice and the drinks were good, but very pricey. Overall it was nice but I won;t rush back.

Had a really lovely evening had been once before on a Sunday , staff all friendly. Table was ready. Food was really Great. Atmosphere was lively. Would definitely go back.

The food was delicious and service was very friendly. We ordered the braised beef and beef and ale pie (from the specials board)...Please add the pie to your menu, it was amazing! We will be back for sure. It was a perfect dinner for a special occasion. Thank you!

service was excellent and it was a really buzzy atmosphere. But the food was a bit of a let down, both mains were so salty it stung our mouths and in general thought it was overpriced. Wouldn't come back for dinner here.

Decent enough food but no mention of a restricted menu on the weekend, no mention of a separate bar & restaraunt area (which makes a difference apparently) and no mention of a 2 hour time limit on tables.

Beautiful interior of the restaurant but some of the food wasn't as great as hoped. Would go back though. Staff very friendly and nice atmosphere.

We had a lovely meal for mother's day. The service was excellent and the food was great. Our kids loved their meals too and the portion sizes were just right. I look fowrard to coming back. Thank you.

This restaurant is very noisy! It's enclosed in a high ceiling room which seems to amplify the sound. If you go on a Friday or Saturday night it is even worse as they have a lively music filled bar. We went on a Saturday night and had to shout across the table to one another to be heard. The food was good, not great. The wine list was good, plenty of choice. Service was a little over stretched but friendly.

Lovely food, nice wine and good service. But they start pumping dance music into the restaurant area at about 10pm, which felt a little unnecessary!

The best local! I go to Avalon almost every weekend to grab a bloody mary, a fantastic roast and catch the rugby. It's always lively and an enjoyable time!

Wonderful food. Sunday Lunch, Valentines and Footie on TV, so it was V busy... A slight delay before puds came, but still the best steak in Souff London.

Great menu and venue and the food was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend especially on a weeknight when one can use a tastecard and receive 50% Discount off the food bill.

Great food as always with attentive service. Always reasonable priced with lots to choose from on the menu, plus the added daily specials. I love the fact they always look after my dog, with a bowl of water and treats on the table, before I even have a glass of wine in my hand.

Nice evening, great beef pie and steaks. I'd recommend this.

Great food, good atmosphere, can be a little too noisy in the restaurant. We were sat under a speaker so couldn't avoid it and the restaurant was full.

Good food, great wine list and drinks menu, lovely friendly service if a little slow at times. Gorgeous dining room. What a gastropub should be, highly recommended
