The Hope in Wandsworth

Came for dinner with my friend last night and had a lovely meal and some drinks. Served by Harvie and Finn who were extremely helpful and helped with my dietary requirements. Will be visiting again soon!

Great Sunday roast and service from Grace. Highly recommend this pub

Stopped by for a couple of Friday night drinks before dinner further up the road. Very impressed. Good drink selection. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely be going back. (Recommended).

Had Sunday lunch at the Hope. We have had so many disasters on Sunday other pubs and restaurants. This place was fantastic with both food and service and we are particularly fussy. We actually sent one plate back just because it wasn’t warm enough and swapped it for a different dish and there was absolutely no judgement and a very pleasant Response. A lovely lady called Morganza . I’m so sorry if I’ve spelt that wrong. She has an Irish background and has been working there for three weeks. She was fantastic as was all the staff. The food was amazing and my husband is vegan. Roast was the best anywhere will definitely be back. Thank you so much guys

Thanks sm Larry and Olivia, had a great time!!

Larry, Mable and liam were so lovely and made our time here so great! Definitely come here!

this place is amazing! the best service with the sweetest staff, mabel Larry and liam are so considerate. the food is amazing, and the drink ;) let's just say I'm REAL JOLLY RIGHT NOW

Although I am not a big drinker, the overall experience and atmosphere at The Hope is truly amazing! I have always left my plate clear, because the way that the food is presented is a feast to your eyes well before it touches your lips. The staff are always attentive and eager to help and have never left there wanting more, I feel pleased to recommend this gastropub, knowing that it will be a sound and quality experience! Thank you guys for making my experience memorable and inspiring me to share my thoughts here, which I don’t do lightly it is rear that I give 5 stars 🌟 but feel this space deserves them!

We been recently to the Hope and everything was above expectations, staff was really nice and welcoming, food was amazing and a really lovely atmosphere. I definitely recommend it.

Lovely vibe, great beers, super live music and food was amazing! 😊

I loved the place even though it was my first time coming: I had a starter and drinks. Very delicious calamari, very helpful and friendly service, very clean disabled toilet, inside the pub and outside tables too. There isn't a strong alcohol smell.

Buena comida y bebidas en una hermosa ubicación. Buen premio y el personal era muy servicial. Estamos regresando definitivamente en nuestro próximo viaje. Genial.

Love this pub! The manager and team are always super friendly! Great choice of drinks and the food is yum 😋

One of the best pubs in London - friendly staff, tasty food and beer, welcoming atmosphere and a gorgeous refit! Great live music every Friday too.Thanks to John and the team for always making me feel welcome!

Fab pub - tasty staff and friendly food! We really enjoyed our lunch here, a few drinks, great atmosphere and the staff were super welcoming and helpful. Will be back :)

Este es un encantador pub acogedor con un gran ambiente. El camembert fue excepcional con unas copas de vino. Nada era demasiado problema para el personal y sin duda volveremos.

Such a great pub! The staff are so friendly; it’s accepting to dogs and the food is superb! Well worth a visit.

Greatest pub in the area, menu comes up tops for me and the family, the meat is succulent and everything arrives in a timely manner. Who I’m guessing is the manager is a true gent, every time we pop in with the wee ones he always gives them the time of day. Speaking of kids, my son has allergies and they couldn’t be more careful and attentive if they tried. Never felt worried about his dietary needs here and they cater well for vegans. If I could make any food recommendations it would be their Sunday beef, oh man makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Evening atmosphere is lively but never rowdy and a perfect spot for a fireside chat. Great transport links and parking not too far away. Can’t recommend enough, thanks guys and keep up the good work, I can see this place getting better and better. Doggo and cyclist friendly too!

The Hope is a nice venue with pleasant atmosphere, great service and amazing management. Good place both for locals and for wanderers from every corner of the world; great for parties as well as for a slow afternoon over a pint and a good book. Located just next to the common; pleasant whole year. Gem hidden in a plain sight. Keep your eyes open when in Wandsworth neighbourhood. If your day is just so so - have The Hope :)

This has always been and will always be a great pub. Welcoming vibe from staff, great food and right on the common. Suggestion - have leisurely stroll around Wandsworth Common - but end up back here. Perfect day.

There's no match for the hope, it's truly the last hope of modern pubs in the UK, can't top their Fish & Chips, roast sunday and their huge selection of drinks. Went here with the lads and can't say I got anything but the best of quality whether it was service wise, food wise or drink wise. 5 Stars can't recommend this place enough!

Lovely place staff are amazing really good food lovely atmosphere will be back

What's not to like about this pub? It's right next to Wandsworth common, has a great outside seating area, serves good selection of drinks, and produces incredibly tasty food. And not to forget the service is great, Finn is a good lad and should keep doing what he is doing :) 10/10 would return!

Had many a Christmas Function here. The food is out of this world, Drink prices are reasonable for Clapham. Staff are always accommodating. John really looks after everyone. Highly Recommended!

Absolutely love this pub, we are here most Mondays for the quiz and other days for drinks after work and the odd Sunday dinner. the staff are very welcoming and friendly and the Manager John is always such a great host.the pub looks amazing after its fresh refurbishment too. Looking forward to spending many more fun nights here :)

Always super friendly and helpful staff making you feel like you're at the friendly local! Food is great, especially the vegan cheesecake!

Went for lunch had a great drink and sandwich deal on really good value.

The food was amazing i would come back here

This pub is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual night out. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I had the fish and chips and it was absolutely delicious. The beer selection was impressive, and the prices were reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back!"

Excellent service from Harvie and the team !

Great service, lovely staff. Definitely recommend.

Really nice place to take family and friends, very peaceful atmosfere and wonderful servers. 10/10

Increíble experiencia de cena para mí y mi cita. Comida deliciosa, bebidas golpeando y cosas muy amables! Lo visitaría de nuevo.

Gran almuerzo con 2 amigos encantador Malbec y nuestro perro estaba desnudo para sentirse uno de la familia Volveremos gracias a Finn nuestro servidor

Enjoyable & delicious food, excellent service & friendly staff xo Would highly recommend....looking forward to our next visit when in the area xo

Had amazing evening with the family, friendly staff, great food in a lovely setting

Great pub and location. Friendly staff and great service.

I was looking for some healthy and delicious food in wandsworth common... Fortunately I ended up in The Hope. The food was great, good support of my healthy lifestyle. Lovely staff, great atmosphere! Going back soon...😊

Couldn't fault it, the food was fantabulous service with a genuine friendly smile, very hard to find this level of care and attention nowadays. Highly recommended. I think the managers name was Jon? A big thank you to you and your team for a very pleasurable dining experience.

Love this pub. Staff are great and always look after us. Perfect for a quiet drink or a party with friends. Great location next to Wandsworth common.

Amazing Pub! Lovely atmosphere, great staff and delicious food!

One of my favourite pubs in sw London. Lovely atmosphere and good food. 👍

Greatest pub in the world John the manager is probably the best manager I’ve ever seen. Legend x

This pub has been one of my locals for around 10 years, when I met my wife and now with +3 minors still coming back. It’s always a nice visit - I would say youngsters only.- but today half pub is closed for a 65th party. Sometimes there is a bar queue, but it’s orderly. 5* thank u

Came for a few drinks with friends after spending time at the common. Lovely atmosphere, great selection of beers, and dog friendly!

Charlie and spike were fantastic we enjoyed our time

long story short, we packed up and went to the Althorp (massive and delicious roasts+starters+mains+desserts, no food shortages and polite, kind staff that were attentive and welcoming)

Nice pub. Family and dog friendly. Sunny days are a treat with outside seating. Larry and Olivia are spot on and welcoming.

We have visited The Hope on Wandsworth Common on a number of occasions for Sunday lunch with family members, and have never been disappointed ... until now! I booked a table for my aunt, who is in her 80s, my daughter and myself and we arrived on time for our 2.15pm booking. The place was packed, staff were running around waiting tables and there did not seem to be anyone in charge to welcome us on our arrival and take us to our seats. My aunt, who has mobility issues (which I'd mentioned in the online booking) and uses a walking stick, was left to stand and wait for 15 minutes while one of the waiters went off to find a table, and never returned. Customers kept bumping into her as they entered and left the venue, with little care or attention. I found my aunt a seat at an empty table and another waiter said we could sit there instead. There was then a palavar while I queued up to purchase drinks and was told that it wasn't possible to order food from our table - we had to either use the App or order at the counter. I ordered roast beef for my daughter and two nut roasts for my aunt and myself, but was told that there was only one nut roast left. My aunt chose to have something from the small plates menu instead, plus roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese as sides. Forty five minutes later, we were still waiting for our food. The small plate of chicken wings was dumped unceremoniously on the table, but there was no sign of the other two dishes we'd ordered. At 3.20pm - over an hour after arriving - we managed to get the attention of a passing waiter (the most polite and helpful of this disorganised crew), who said that the kitchen was rushed off its feet with orders, but he would see where our meals were. We were eventually served at 3.40pm, nearly an hour and a half after arriving. The food looked like it had been sitting under a hot lamp for most of that time - dry, over-cooked and sloppily served up on the plate. The cauliflower cheese looked like baby food (and that is a generous description)!!! Most definitely this was not worth the £61 price tag for the meal. We decided against ordering desserts or coffees, knowing that it would probably be another hour before they arrived. Instead, my aunt went to use the disabled toilets before leaving. They were locked, and my query to one of the barmen was dismissed impatiently with the following response: "There is probably someone in there and if no one comes out in ten minutes (10 MINUTES!) someone will get you the key!" Fortunately, the nice chappie who was doing his best to cover everything on the restaurant fetched the key immediately. Turns out the toilet was empty all the time - so much for accessibility. As I said at the start, we have visited The Hope on a number of occasions, but this has got to be the most chaotic, shabby and uncaring customer service we have ever experienced. Staff were disorganised and inexperienced, and there was a distinct absence of anyone managing the restaurant! We left, finally, at 4.30pm and are unlikely to return.

Had dinner twice here now and the food was excellent both times. Staff are super friendly and I really enjoyed the cosy and relaxed atmosphere.

Exceptional night , staff so friendly, food awesome, highly recommend - thank you for a super night out

I love the Hope - it’s my home away from home. John creates the atmosphere 🤗

Fantastic Sunday roast ...food was excellent and the service from our wonderful waitress was the best ..can't wait to come back again soon ....❤️

Went for drinks with friends , great service and lovely atmosphere we sat in the garden perfect with views on the common from both sides

Lovely pub with a flower-adorned outside area and little huts that make for a great setting for a party - which was the purpose of my visit. Located on a quiet street.

Went for lunch today for a treat with a close friend. She had the chef’s special roast lamb, while I had the nut roast with all the trimmings. We both thought the food was delicious and there was a lovely selection of vegetables well cooked and tasty. The staff were polite and friendly. Portion sizes were generous, my friend especially enjoyed the lamb and the nut was really tasty. What more can you ask? Thank you staff at the Hope and to the chef.

Fabulous Sunday lunch in an excellent pub with great service and great beer!

It is an art performance hall and is easily accessible by rail transportation, so it is also possible to go to Hwaseonghwa.

Terrible food all cold and did not taste very good. Service very poor and i attentive. We had to keep asking for for thing s and check took forever. People having drinks looked happy enough so perhaps that is the way to go!

It's a great pub. Staff are friendly and the outside space is fantastic

Meet up with friends for a Sunday lunch. Very easy to find opposite the station, we had pre booked our table for 6. Lovely traditional looking pub, modern interior. Great Sunday lunch options, with an above average wine list. Will definitely go back.

I've been there last Sunday!! A welcoming personel and a really nice atmosphere 👌 The food was simply great, well prepared and quickly served!! Lots of selections for food and definitely lots for beer lovers 😋 Great quality and great quantities. The location is wonderful and is must visit for a chilled break during the day.

Great pub with outdoor space and a nice little sun trap.

Fabulous pub, gorgeous food and brilliant staff. I held a lunch there for 30 people for a special birthday and the whole experience was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for them, all my guests commented on the quality of the food and everything was done with a smile. Really recommend it.

Really nice pub. Brunch needs improvement. 3 of the 6 brunch options were with hollandaise, but they were out of hollandaise. If could also be improved by having simple options, like eggs on toast. The non-hollandaise options were large meals.

Larry provided brilliant service

Lovely setting with a great outlook onto Wandsworth common. Really lovely at sunset. Recently renovated so fit out and vibe is awesome! Food and drink is nice but food a little expensive for what it is. Maybe more of a drinks spot. Wouldn’t recommend the steak if I’m honest (£27 and wasn’t the best) but the pie, the baked Camembert bread entree were superb. Burger looks nice too. Lovely local vibe and will be back!

Staff were attentive and the food was excellent.

Super lovely spot love to go here on a Friday the cocktails are amazing highly reccomand the espresso martini !

Come in for the the Cask Ale. Its nice to have a proper pint. Nice place

A beautiful venue with a great selection of food and drink!

Refurb is great! Quality pub, great food, pleasant atmosphere and location. Good for week nights (e.g. Friday night live music) and weekend pubbing. Staff all very friendly, Larry particularly notable for his rapid service.

A lovely place to grab a breakfast overlooking the common.

Great place to be with friend, whatever the occasion. Fabulous food and drink choices and great service.

Great pub, very friendly atmosphere

We came a group of 5 of us. Weather was good so the atmosphere was amazing. Plenty of friendly faces and welcoming environment. The service was excellent 👌 . Bar staff friendly well mannered and helpful. Got every order correct and no spillage lol. I gave 4 stars for the food because although the burgers were juicy and succulent it's did take a while. Not their fault it was very busy. I'm surprised they managed the whole afternoon how they did. Credit to them. We had an issue with payment and the manager John was more than accommodating about our mistake and allowed us some time to organise payment, assisted where he could and was patient

The Hope provided a great service from start to finish for a private event in the outside Garden room. Very friendly and helpful, everything beautifully presented and the platinum buffet was fantastic. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Charlie Currell is amazing Service was amazing Can’t wait for my next visit

Strolling past the other day and noticed this queue for the outdoor bbq. The smell was incredible, unfortunately only for a private event but told could be a thing in the summer for the public. fingers crossed

Popped in with the ladies, I think his name was Sergio who served me. Recommended a lovely bottle of Rose, the second palest one if that helps.

Keep an eye on the Sunday specials. The lamb was superb! So tender. Best I've had in a while.

Gotta love this place with really nice cocktails and overall a good vibe. My go to place when I around Tooting area :D

Good place to spend time with friends! Quick and polite staff!

Very friendly, great for dogs, children, food sells really well, good music very airy lots of light, hugh back room

A brilliant pub. Delicious, affordable lunch menu and a great atmosphere. The staff, in particular Olivia and Stefan, are wonderful. They make you feel incredibly welcome and are very attentive. I’ll be coming back for sure. Great place!

Stefan was such a stud, an outstanding service and the quality of food was top notch. I recommend any of you to visit The Hope Wandsworth and feel the atmosphere yourself with the amazing service of Stefan! He will guide you throughout your stay.

Great pub right on the Wandsworth common, with a lovely beer garden! Stef and Olivia are always so welcoming and there's a wide range of drinks and quality food! Dog friendly too 😁. Will certainly be heading back soon.

The food is really delicious and the waiter Stefan is very polite 🤩

I was looked after very well, pub was clean and bright with a lovely new refurb. Excellent beer and sandwich deal at lunch time

Best pork belly around and John is the best host!!!

Lovely sitting outside, in the sunshine, looking over Wandsworth Common.

What a serious disappointment i feel robbed , we were a table of 2 that popped in for drinks and food , what is advertised online and in photos is not what they serve , we went for 2 starters ,for some reason we were served the burger first …. Even after asking for starters then mains when placing the order … the burger looked fantastic online ,.… What honestly arrived was a dry frozen unseasoned re heated piece of beef that was terrible , £2 for half a slice of streaky bacon …..it was honestly the worst thing I've eaten in a long time … The chicken starter again pre cooked in a greasy dry batter, cold in the centre was inedible , Chorizo Starter - 4 pieces of chorizo swimming in oil ….. One member of staff came to see How everything was … we explained that is was terrible and the guy just shrugged his shoulders and walked off doing nothing … Such a let down to a lovely Sunday afternoon … I look forward to a response from the management soon .

Randomly dropped by whilst in the area, and discovered this lovely side garden, reckon great for private hires, booked in for later in the year.

The Goats Cheese Salad was delicious 😋 Impressive portion size. The range of draught🍻 Loved Pravha being an option, reminded me of drinking at the brewery in Prague.

Nice place, gorgeous food and wonderful staff: the summary of the gemmy friend and I accidentally came across while flat hunting in the area. Glad we tried. Yummyyyyy food

Fantastic food and great atmosphere. Really chilled and good staff.

I like the pub good enough but there is NO SERVICE for drinks whatsoever. On a busy night you now see a long line of people lining up in front of the bar down the stairs into the middle of the pub. Very disappointing that for a pint of beer that costs (rounded up) 8£ incl. a tip (but for what, really?) you have to stand in a line just like in some sort of cheap fast food joint or canteen. Seems wrong. Oh and my french fries tasted stale.

Unpleasant service NOT recommended

Amazing Pub and John is probably the best landlord you could get - proper London pub !
