We went for the New Years Eve dinner and celebration, and had a fantastic time. Very friendly and helpful team. Amazing food, really creative and original, especially the braised lamb. Great wine. All round a really great evening. The team have transformed JG's since they took it over - well done!

Excellent, tender beef and well cooked vegetables. Attentive service and good wine and cheese list. Rather a noisy room but I would highly reccomend the restaurant

Food and service was really good. Went on a Tuesday so wasn't really busy. There was only 6 of us so we could order off the a la carte, but we probably would have ordered off the set Christmas menu anyway and would have liked a Christmas fracker :-) maybe our fault for not specifying it was our girls Xmas meal out!

Overall great experience. Had to change my booking slightly when I needed to add more people to my table and found the staff very accommodating when ringing up the day before to arrange this. Service was very good when we were there and food was great. Only criticism was that with the roast chicken there was a bit too much stuffing and not enough chicken. Would, however highly recommend The Jolly Gardeners to other dinners.

Really good food. Excellent steak. Would expect more than standard fries (possibly out of a packet?) - triple cooked would have been more appropriate for the fine quality of the meat. Good service. Ok value for the food. Good value on the wine list. Would go back.

Great food and good service - lack of atmosphere as it was a bit quiet - however it was early in the evening when we ate there.

The pub is lovely kept with a nice garden. We went on a Sunday and found the menu to be disappointing- no bbq available, which on a sunny day is a shame, and the only roast option was beef, which on a Sunday is a shame. My beef roast was lovely, the sides and gravy yummy. My partner had a pork belly which, when arrived, my other friend enquired whether he was on a diet... We were given no dessert menu, so overall left hungry and £95 lighted for 2 roasts, 1 pork belly, 4 beers and 2 coffees.

Lovely roast beef Sunday lunch, with nice crunchy Yorkshire pudding and tender beef. The starter of a modern version of coronation chicken was also very tasty.

The service wasn't up to scratch for a restaurant with a masterchef name attached. We were surprised to find there weren't any starters offered for a Saturday lunch, nice for a simple meal but nothing more. Other than the a la carte meal it really is just pub grub.

The service was fine, the choice of food was a bit limited, but what we chose was nice. The decor and ambience was somewhat lacking.

Small menu but all the dishes we tried were well executed. Sticky toffee pudding among the best ever tasted - and we are experts. Staff very friendly and efficient and decor pleasant. Outside area looks promising for summer eating al fresco.

We both had ravioli to start and the lamb. I don't think I've ever tasted anything so delicious. both courses. but the lamb was the best lamb I've ever eaten. Awful to say, but driving past baby lambs over the weekend, It was all I could think about!!! Also a bottle of Prosecco, which was a very good price and wonderful....

Really like this great local eatery. Disappointed tonight with excessively salty food. But the staff are always polite and friendly and I ordered an alternative dish which was delicious. Buzzy atmosphere and great service.

The Jolly Gardeners is a great pub - our local in Earlsfield. This was the first time we've eaten there and I couldn't recommend it highly enough - it's a different class from even some of the best 'pub food' in the area - this is proper, fresh ingredients, unique recipes, beautifully presented and not overloaded with carbs. They even managed to cater for my vegan sister. The service is always excellent - with staff always on hand to top up your drinks.

Great food - high end West End standard. Expensive (£60 - £65 a head for 2.5 courses and a few glasses of wine) but as long as you're after this level of food it's worth it.

Excellent once again - fast becoming a favourite local gastro pub, which is a descripton that doesn't do it justice. The Jolly Gardener is more of a good restaurant than gastro pub.

Good place, very lively and the food was well beyond my expectations - much better than your average pub grub at similar prices. The managers of local Young's and Geronimo pubs would do very well to spend an evening here to see how a pub can serve much much better food than they are generally delivering.
