The roast was good but the service was extremely poor, had to go to the bar twice to ask someone to take our drinks order and waited an hour for food.
Amazing meal in amazing setting just off the high street near Clapham South. The restaurant setting is beautiful and the food was incredible. Really recommend the salad!
Lovely pub/restaurant. Food excellent. Bottomless prosecco fabulous. Slightly long service but it was a Saturday so that's expected. Overall had a great time. Definitely go again.
Very welcoming staff, helpful and were very good with the kids. We weren't rushed so had time to eat and relax. Food was great too. Giant kids portions!!!
Good food, nice place, excellent staff. As gastro pubs goes in this neck of the woods it's worth travelling to. Close to the tube and bus routes. Try it next sunday
Terrible experience. Food took nearly an hour and half of the restaurant was suddenly taken over by a huge party who came in from outside. The party had no respect for anyone eating, we were pushed, crowded and were hit by bags and elbows numerous times whilst eating. The noise level was ridiculous and we found ourselves shouting at each other to be heard. Awful experience and the only compensation for a ruined meal was 7% off 1 bottle of prosecco.
We have discovered the Avalon pub a couple of weeks ago. We would always pass by on the bus but we have never stopped there before! What a nice surprise! Super nice food (especially tasty pizzas) and the back garden...a gem! We love it now!
Great evening at the Avalon. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about allergens. Dog friendly pub, with dog bowls and treats provided. And they accept Tastecard!
Wonderful lunch! Thank you for providing a friendly, happy environment for a summer catch up. Staff were friendly, garden was really cool and food was delicious!
Lovely food good value arrived in good time we sat in the gorgeous garden outside in the sun . Will definately visit again for sure
Great experience - the service staff were prompt and helpful. We were a group of 4 and did not feel rushed to give the table back and there was a good choice on the menu.
The staff were very accommodating and friendly . Food was very nice and came surprisingly quickly considering there was a very large group of us
Lovely Sunday roast - we had chicken, and it was one of the nicest pieces of chicken I have ever had! It was also Father's Day and they gave my dad a free pint on the house! The service was brilliant, out waiter couldn't have been friendlier. Would highly recommend.
We experienced very good service, good food and a very pleasant outdoor garden area. We enjoyed our visit and would recommend this restaurant to others.
I had family visiting and they had been here before. My sister was gagging for a steak, so where else would you go to? They have the best steaks in south London. We were on a timeframe and I told the waiter we needed to leave before a certain time to ensure we had food before we had to leave. The dinner was good, service good and the waiter even came and told us the time when I said we need to leave - excellent service. The only downside to the place is... the Mens stinky toilets :-( By the way, they have a fabulous garden at the back :-)
Nice food but was slightly disappointed with service. When we arrived they said it was policy not to allow use of a taste card in the garden area which was a pity as there was no atmosphere inside as everyone was in the garden. The food wasn't as nice as usual which was a shame as we go here regularly and usually love it.
Was a lovely suprise...havent been here for years and came with a couple of friends for dinner. Food really great! Service amazing...staff genuinely lovely..and fun!
Staff were very attentive, great house red, excellent scoliosis and a wide beer selection. One of my favourite pubs in south London, can't recommend highly enough
We had the metre long pizza it was delicious! Staff were lovely and the secret garden was so nice on a sunny day. Definitely recommend this place.
Nice pub with great outdoor area in the rear for a sunny day. We lucked the trivia quiz. Ugly and host was fun as was the night.
Great service, very accommodating to a group of mums with babies and buggies!!! The food was yummy and came pretty quickly. Always a lunchtime favourite!
Un po' rumoroso per la visita di mia madre. Abbiamo mangiato Sunday Lunch insieme pero i piatti non erano caldo. Torno per qualcosa da bere ma non di mangiare.
Lovely venue, good food and great staff, but they had run out of over 50% of options on the menu so they lose a couple of stars for that this time!
Had such a fun evening here. Great atmosphere with fun music. And the food was absolutely delicious. Best sticky toffee pudding I have ever had! I will definitely be back!
A lovely restaurant that is upstaged by the noise generated by the pub bar which is adjacent to the restaurant. Having requested a table in the corner as we had a member of our table who was deaf. My request (made the week before) was not met. The food is good quality and the service is friendly and swift.
We always enjoy the Avalon. The ambiance is great, the food and wine is delish, good service, dogs allowed. The garden in summer is absolutely amazing.
The staff were very friendly, the food was great and at a very reasonable price too! I will definitely be going back again very soon!
The food was very average and a very long wait for service. The Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding was OK but my dining partner said the Nut Roast was covered in a sauce that didn't really go with the vegetables and the meal was served tepid. A shame as this venue is usually excellent. Maybe too many bookings for Easter Sunday that stretched the resources too far.
Excellent service and food. Easy to find, good location. Good wine list with a number of good wines from all over the world. Good garden too.
Poor customer service - not busy but so slow at taking order, delay in actually in-putting order, delay of about 20 minutes in telling us that the bottle of wine we ordered wasn't actually available (!), slow in delivering food to table, slow at clearing plates away, took several times of asking for dessert menu to actually get them delivered! Bill delivered with incorrect wine on it. Overall, very poor service. However, food was pretty good.
Good atmosphere, great wine and very good food overall. The pizza was a bit dry and needed more tomato sauce. Service was good and quick.
Had a really good roast dinner. Very busy so booking is definitely needed. Reasonable prices also as most places in London are over £17/ £18
great service, but it was a busy night so food took a little long. Otherwise it was all perfect, and the food was fantastic. YUM
I came here to catch up with two friends I don't see nearly often enough. The table service was good, our pasta and sea green was delicious and very relaxed atmosphere. I would really recommend the Avalon dining experience 😊
Great food, as always. The steaks are still the best in London. However, (on a Saturday night) the music was too loud - almost Ibiza in Clapham - for a nice dining experience.
Such a nice pub. Really friendly staff who are very accommodating and really want you to relax and enjoy oneself. Delicious pizzas and a good selection of reasonably priced wines.
Beautiful place, lovely staff, tasty food (belly prk followed by apple n blackberry crumble - comfort food or what?) - and large portions to boot. No wonder this is such a popular local haunt.
Food was awesome. Service wasn't so hot so took one star away. The decor was beautiful was beautiful and our cocktails were great too. Good time and good food.
Busy Saturday post rugby, but managed to book a table last minute with friendly staff and good service and great food. Will be coming back again
This is not the first time i have visited The Avalon, service and food have been consistently good. Lovely outdoor gardens and great drink selection.
