A lovely pub by the River Wandle!
Now this is a little find! Right in the heart of Merton Abbey Mills, near Wimbledon.
One visits Merton Abbey Mills if you are looking to buy that 'something different', whether it be a fossil, a stained glass mirror or a beautiful handcrafetd frame.
We (enjoying crafts and arty things) have often strolled through here (our friend also has an estate agency here, so we pop in and visit him too when we come here).
This pub was recommended to us by him, and we enjoyed it very much.
It is alongside the Wandle River, which has recently been cleaned up a lot and is mroe pleasant to walk along. It isnt a wide river though, more of a canal if anything. Kids fish in it and people go for walks along it.
The pub has a lovely atmosphere, and I especially enjoyed the outside area, alongside the river.
Service is good here, we certainly had no complaints!
We had a tiny bite to eat, nibbled more, so I cannot comment on the food her persay, but the beer shandy was cold and tasty, and the experience was very pleasant.
They also dont rush you either, even if you are in a prime position, which was rather nice!
