The restaurant is lovely but the noise level was intolerable - for that reason alone the experience was awful. A little surprise that management appears unconcern/unaware the effect such loutish behaviour have on other diners.
Bit loud so difficult to chat at dinner, but good food, very friendly service and beautiful set up- good bar section with music and dance
Really nice food .... service a bit hit and miss. Forgot to bring things we had requested (water, sauce etc) but cheery staff. Would go again
Excellent food and service, love this place!!! The pies... Dangerously good.
Excellent food. Taste card makes it great value. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff.
The choice of food were more limited than usual but it was jummy as usual. There were a shortage of staff, probably because they opened the Garden. Otherwise it was a great night
Good food, Nice surroundings. Very Interesting Decor. Pleasant and attentive staff. A smoothly run evening overall would recommend popping in for a bite ! ! !
Enjoyable dinner with friends - let down by lack of gluten free options on the menu. They managed to modify the steak option to be gluten free though which was excellent.
Great food and good service. Slightly disappointed the "optional" 12.5% service charge was added without us being given a choice, but would have tipped anyway
The Avalon has always served great steaks. Not sure what went wrong on our recent visit but the kitchen was unable to cook the steaks to our request (medium) despite more than one attempt. A side dish was forgotten and generally service was poor - not what we have been used to at the Avalon. They tried to make amends by reducing our bill by 50% for the food - a nice and appreciated gesture. Sadly, it will still be a while until we return. Not sure if the poor performance has anything to do with staff changes?
Great food, service, and wine list. The renovated garden is lovely.
Good was of a good standard and service friendly but drinks orders were forgotten and our first course took almost an hour to arrive.
Amazing food, drink and service!! Cannot complain at all. They were fast, polite and the pizzas were gorgeous! We stayed for drinks after which was nice too. But the best part was the staff :)
Very average. They forgot to put our order through so waited almost an hour for 2 mains and when they came they were ok. They were apologetic and gave us our drinks and dessert on the house which was nice. I wouldn't rush back.
Great food great staff! Bank holiday fun! Will be back again
Lovely pub, good food and great atmosphere as one could expect
Was a great diner. Food was really nice for a reasonable . All guests were happy. The wine was nice but a little pricy. But overall a great experience
Reliable, efficient and awesome as ever, we eat at this pub fairly frequently as its consistently good at everything it does. Looking forward to seeing the new garden as well.
Came after a recommendation and had a delicious Sunday roast. The Avalon has a lovely atmosphere and great service, would definitely go back and recommend on.
Wonderful atmosphere, excellent food, fabulous garden! The service was excellent which made our experience really enjoyable. One of the best pubs in South West London. I would definitely recommend for a family Sunday lunch.
Beautiful food, great atmosphere - but had to wait quite a long time for our food as it was very busy!
Delicious lamb dish and excellent pizza. Quick and efficient service.
Decent food and atmosphere, perfect for a mid-week dinner with friends
Great food. Great atmosphere. Friendly service. Would highly recommend. We all had a lovely evening.
Delicious food, a great pub but slow service. A nice place for a drink indoors or outdoors. Worth booking a table as often quite busy.
Lovely food, friendly and attentive service, and great dining space.
This pub is the ultimate gastro pub with best beer garden in London.
Came for a Sunday roast and although good was found lacking in some key areas. Veg was amazing, meat was good but sadly the roast potatoes were too waxy giving poor texture. Puddings took a long time and service was a bit slow. Overall ok but given the competition nearby, way behind.
Overall we had a lovely Sunday lunch at The Avalon. However, our waitress did not seem to understand our questions - when we asked if the gravy on the vegetarian roast was vegetarian she said yes and then said it had beef in. We therefore ordered without the gravy but this dish was fairly dry as a result - it would be much better if vegetarian gravy was provided on a vegetarian option.
Lovely food and great service, a few items not available which was slightly disappointing. Lovely choice of cocktails which were definitely not disappointing!
Amazing Sunday lunch at a reasonable price. Highly recommend the roast beef! Most importantly, all Sunday lunches include a huge Yorkshire pudding! Good wine list. Attentive service. We will be back soon!
Pretty quiet for a Sunday so served at the bar immediately. Had a table reservation for lunch - great food and service as always. Would recommend booking a table here though as does get pretty busy.
Great food, decent service and nice setting. Great for a sunny day
The staff are wonderfully friendly but the food was horrible. I had a hanger steak and was advised to have it medium to rare otherwise the meat was tough. I had it rare and it came out blue and it had gristle in it. It was horrible. Then the guy wouldn't change it cause he said I had eaten over half of it!!! Offered me a free dessert (standard) but I said no and he ended up taking it off the bill. Dinner ended up being salad and fries! This is the second time out of three over the last 6 weeks where the food has been really bad. All I would say about my other experience is avoid the lasagne at all costs!
I wanted to book an area for about 14 people for my daughter's 30 th birthday and to have bubbly and cake when everyone had arrived. I found the booking process easy and the staff extremely helpful when I did this. When we arrived at the Avalon the tables had been reserved and were in a good place near the windows. Staff so helpful did everything I had asked . Food also was delicious and everyone enjoyed. For me the 1 drawback was that the FA cup semi finals were being televised so I found it rather noisy but I am sure the youngsters didn't! Really pleased with the whole afternoon/evening. Many thanks to the Avalon staff and Frankie who helped make it so enjoyable.
Delicious food cannot wait to come back already! Had the fish and chips and they were absolutely perfect! Make sure you ask for more tartare sauce though!
Something obviously went wrong in the kitchen tonight, guessing maybe a chef walked out? Food took well over an hour to come. However they took our bottle of wine off the bill as an apology which was nice, and the food was ok, had squid and duck, both a bit dry. Service was attentive and apologetic though.
Food was delicious and the service was quick and friendly, would highly recommend although not on a night of the final matches of the six nations rugby if you want a quiet time.
Delicious meal and great service. Restaurant was a little loud for my parents, but it was Saturday night and I know they loved the food and ambiance. Thanks!
Had a lovely time and food was delish would definitely go back
