The Crooked Billet Wimbledon

This was the best pub in London, by some distance: the easy, friendly, atmosphere of a proper country' pub; a great selection of beer and wine; tasty, well-prepared food; chatty and efficient staff; all this, coupled with the fantastic location of Wimbledon Common, made for a winning combination. The pub closed for refurbishment in Summer 2014 and I only hope that the atmosphere which made the Crooked Billet so welcoming won't have been destroyed.

So. the crooked billet is much bigger than it looks from outside with a restaurant area on the back. it is not a gastro-sub as they can say from the menu. eating is quite simple and too expensive for what it is. I guess this is the cure for the opposite, but close to £30 for a pretty fat lamb and a few glasses wein it was too rich for me.

a nice light lunch by haddock soft and simply perfectly cooked, triple dipped chips, muddy heaps (one because I would like to eat British mushy) and a bottle of ice cold beer (sorry i detest tap every description) everyone who only rounded it. another pleasant lunch without the rain.

We were warmly welcomed, despite arriving late due to traffic. The atmosphere and staff were both delightful. Our party of 7, with members of different ages, received excellent service and food. We will definitely be returning. 5 stars all around!

great eating and for a change, a sort for the vegetarian as well. ambiente is in order, but they have a big raving front with simple chairs and that makes for a perfect post-lunch her spot. here along a sunny day

Fantastic location and great food. The staff were so friendly. The icing on the cake was the presence of dogs, all well behaved and sociable.
