About Alma
Bright, cheery fixture doling out seasonal pub grub with a twist, plus sandwiches & wines.
Imposing Victorian corner pub opposite Wandsworth Town Station, listed on CAMRA London Regional Inventory of pub interiors of special historic interest. Much altered over the years but retains island bar and fine back-painted mirrors featuring birds in their natural habitat. Separate restaurant, renowned for fine cuisine, at the rear, leads to a newly refurbished garden. Named after battle in Crimea.
Circular mosaics decorate the bar. Outside, the green-tiled exterior is impressive.

It was good but not amazing. The lamb chops were good but not extremely flavorful. The sticky toffee dessert was excellent I would definitely get that again. The staff was very nice and helpful. I would go back but only when they have the Sunday roast. It was a fun place. While the scallops were good it was three very small ones that cost about £15! Way overpriced for what it was.

Booked this place because I heard the Sunday roast is amazing. Totally true! The porchetta was massive and delicious! My brother ordered the prime rib and he really liked it. The service was great, they are very attentive and kind staff. At first it was quiet when we arrived but it didn’t take long until it got packed and everyone was enjoying their Sunday roast. I recommend for friends and family, even with little kids! Definitely go here if you’re in the area. Or make the trip, that’s what I did and everyone in my group left fully satisfied!

Definitely one of the best pubs in the area of Wandsworth. The service and food were amazing, we had brunch a couple of days in a row. All of their dishes on the menu are totally worth it. The atmosphere during afternoons and evenings is superb.

Visited late morning on a Wednesday. Tried the Jubel peach beer which was better than expected. Love the iconic Victorian exterior and it's position outside the train station. Lots of good quality outside seating to enjoy your drinks too.

I was really excited, as I had heard a lot of good things about The Alma, so had booked myself and two other people in for my birthday lunch on Sunday. We sat upstairs, and the room, in my opinion, has no atmosphere at all. It seemed very loud in there too, for me anyway. The service was so-so. Not the worst I have ever had, but also didn't feel particularly special in any way. On arrival there were two tables available, and I asked if we could have the round one as it was a bit nicer and it was my birthday (plus, a round table is nicer for an uneven number of guests). The waiter sighed and…
