Suk Saran Thai
A very intensely flavoured array of food, highly recommended. Book on the usual busy nights, just in case. One of the best Thai Restaurants in the area. Plus the place is nicely done.

Great pub, great atmosphere.
It can get quite busy on the weekends, so get there early for a table/stool.
But when it's not busy, and you're looking for a quiet pint, this can also be the place.
The food varies, more so on the weaker side though.
A classic London pub.

Big place (there's a downstairs), it's industrial meets insane asylum, but in a good way. The seating at the front is spacious, and the first bar is quite handy.
The downstairs bit is for breaking it down, housy music, there is also decent seating there too, plus a small bar.
Loo's are in between up and downstairs, and are manned.

It's your standard Po Na Na really, dark and cushiony, but a bit smaller.
Good bar, with good drinks and cocktails (though I've not been in a while).
The music can be housy, but they have been known to play a bit of R&B for the kids.
The queue can be a bit time consuming.

I'm going Walkabout
Big place, gets busy, long bar, very necessary.
My favourite thing is the wall to wall plastic lining, which is presumably there to allow for easy hosing down once the night zoo has left. Joy.
The above isn't a negative by the way, if that's your kind of thing. Don't wear your friday best, and bring a bib.
And I hear they do a bikini competition every now and then.

Yeah, nice bar, biggish too. Closes at 12 (at the moment).
Drinks are your usual suspects.
Seating's reasonable.
Unsure about the food, but there are various restaurants opposite and nearby.

Reasonable bar, nice decor, good selection of drinks, decent seating (when available, keep your eyes on the prize).
Can get busy, I think it closes at 12 these days.
They also have a Single & Divorcees night, which speaks volumes for the management. I've not been to this night (really), so I can't comment ;)

The restaurant is a nice, recent addition, which also gets fairly busy. There are things they do very well, other things not so well (the risotto for one). The service could be better too. But, once the place gets busy in the bar bit, it can sometimes take a while to get served, which is why it can be good to sit in the restaurant for table service, if the drinks don't take forever to arrive..
The rest of the place has character, but a little awkward for moving about in when it get's packed, which it does. For example, it's sometimes quicker to go out one door, around the outside and in the other to get to the loo, not funny really.
In the summer it's nice to drink outside, and you're close to other restaurants and bars.
I still miss Finches tho..

Sadly, this place no longer exists, it is now the Chinese restaurant that was next door to it. And what was the Chinese restaurant has been eaten up by the Dog & Fox.
Finches was good because it was a bar, and you could have a dance, almost always busy, it will be missed. The Dog & Fox doesn't make up for it.

Yes, a certain female tennis player calls this her favourite restaurant when she comes to play in Wimbledon, but that doesn't make her a good judge of Thai food.
Mediocre, at best, there are various others in the area which beat this hands down. And because it's in Wimbledon Village, it's also over-priced.
The service was good though, and they were quite attentive, despite not really knowing how to explain what was on the menu. Again other Thai Restaurants in the area are better.
If you go down the hill (into Wimbledon), there's a fantastic place next to The Alexandra pub called 'Suk Saran' (it's on Trusted Places).. 5 Stars.
