Coach & Horses

A really nice Monday night visit with a Pizza deal that is just so good. Very accommodating team too who were very welcoming. Pizzas were quick to arrive piping hit and delicious. Really recommend it.

I used to live round the corner on Kings Avenue back in the day (2011-2013?), and work on Clapham Common. Many memories down here, trundling between Brixton and the various north/south divide of Clapham. Despite the rampant gentrification, it's nice to know that some pubs still remain. This one has seen various incarnations, but as we went our separate ways @frontierpubs stepped in to give it a new lease of life. Local beers adorn the taps in the form of Brixton (Heineken), Gipsy Hill and your usual accessible macro gear. I was here for one thing only, @luckysaintbeer again, despite the temptation to just drink the Deya they had kegged. That and I was in the area for the Idles gig at Brixton Academy. So it made sense to hit a pub before, especially as this was on a Sunday, but the thought of this entire day without beer was an unrealistic nightmare some 4+ years ago. The pub was busy, in January, on a Sunday - need to let that sink in for a minute. Is it the location? Possibly? But it's not exactly on a "main" road. Rather, if you offer a varied range, show sport (but don't let it dominate your identity) and banging food like the pizzas from @flatboyspizza then you're gonna draw a nice mixed crowd. Frontier Pubs have this nailed. Objectively, what's nice about these, is that despite all the ownership and some 100 years passing, the exterior "recently" renovated by Frontier, honours the original look and feel of the pub. Those tiles are glorious, the round bar in the middle, it's a testament to how well it can be done. Overall, a lovely trip down memory lane. Worth the needless £65 parking charge (Lambeth Council never changes), which ironically I wouldn't have got if I drank and got public transport, but the trains were down, so probably evened out. Anyway, I digress, good pub, good beer, good vibes, nice staff - go visit it.

Best pub in Clapham! Staff are amazing, great selection of drinks and food, proper sun trap in the afternoon when outside, and really fun and buzzy inside all year round. Seems to be a ‘hidden gem’ - but ought to be the no.1 destination for everyone visiting south west London 🧡

Went for drinks - great selection of craft beers and lagers. Music was excellent, great mix and it wasn’t too loud

Best pub in the area. Great beers and fantastic staff.
