About Althorp
Simple modern pub grub in an easygoing neighbourhood spot with quirky decor and views of the common.
A pleasant, modern, welcoming, family friendly corner pub, with outside seating overlooking Wandsworth Common. The cider, on handpump, is from the Weston's range.
Opened as the Bowler in June 2010, it was renamed early in 2012 when bought by small multiple operator Gareth Lloyd Jones as a sister pub to the Spencer, SW15 and the Canonbury, N1. Acquired by City Pub Company early in 2016.
Menus offer a wide selection of food for vegans and vegetarians.

Every dish was delicious and the small plates / starters were generous portions. Great atmosphere and friendly and efficient service. Lovely spot for Sunday lunch after a walk on the common.

I went for the pub quiz (which in itself was immensely fun!). The atmosphere of the pub in general was extremely welcoming and vibrant. The food was delicious, however the real standout was the service and the staff, all of whom made me feel extremely welcome. I’d absolutely go back in a heartbeat. Thanks Althorp!

We threw a last minute retirement party at The Althorp on Saturday. The initial communication during the booking process with the head office could be improved - it was quite confusing (e.g. suggesting pre-orders then when we sent the pre-order through we were told we'd missed the deadline). This made us a little anxious in the run up to the day, but as soon as we met James our anxiety was eased and we knew we were in good hands.

One of the first places I've visited since I moved in the area. The food is great and good value, the atmosphere is vibrant and joyous, and the staff is charming! Just walk past and it's easy to see why this place is so popular! I recommend the vegetarian options (but would advocate for even more)!

I’ve been coming to this pub for years and it is one of my favourites. However some recent experiences have dampened my overall love for this pub due to one of the waitresses being nothing but rude and unbothered. At a period that wasn’t even busy (3 people at the bar) this waitress was bossing the other bar staff around whilst they were mid conversation/order with customers. She then took my order, being incredibly blunt and also told me off because I didn’t say both drinks I wanted at the same time and delivered a service with no thank you or smile. The waitress I am talking about had…
