About Pig & Whistle
An old-time neighbourhood pub with a modern-vintage makeover and shed seating in garden.
Converted from off licence and hardware store in 1974 and now refurbished though retaining old, split level layout. Despite more emphasis on food and lager, the young managers take a pride in their well kept, traditional real ales and what had been a rather neglected pub has gained local popularity. TV sports, especially rugby. Mon quiz (except Bank Holidays and during Wimbledon Fortnight). Meals served all day at weekends.
The four changing beers now come from Sambrook's, Southwark, Twickenham and Wimbledon breweries.

Another standout suburban pub. In fact a pub that was showing the cricket! Now that's something you don't see very often these days. A wonderfully vivacious girl behind the bar kept us on our toes but was very hard working as well as being very funny. We didn't eat, but the food looked AMAZING! So vegetarians, didn't see too much you would like, but for the carnivores, go for it! Drooling, just thinking about it. Beware, this pub sells t-shirts and I was already wearing a bright pink pig related t-shirt and when I noticed theirs for sale, well, let's just say all my friends were saved from…

The Pig & Whistle is a traditional pub with log burners and a cosy feel which is centrally located. The food is cooked to order using local produce from land to sea including; Dartmouth fresh fish, meat from local award winning butchers, and local vegetables. Great outside seating and secluded patio area with cover.

Excellent local pub. South African owners I believe, great selection of SA food and standard pub dishes. The BBQ Platter is an amazing feast! Great crisps and bar snacks. Watched all of the Rugby World Cup games here and the atmosphere was fantastic. Keep it up!

Great local pub with the best pork scratchings in town. I love their Sunday roasts as well.

Can't say enough positive things about this pub. I've been in London for over a month, and finally found a fabulous Sunday roast and some really good food. I highly recommend the Sunday roast pork and beef... actually the lamb and chicken were excellent, too!!! You can order extra stuffing, and if you ask for extra gravy, they bring you a large bowl (and not a l ounce, tiny dish). We had nachos and wings on a 2nd visit and were amazed that they made the chips in house! Best nachos in UK by far!!!!! On Friday nights they serve cowboy rib eye steaks (you definitely need to book in advance) and…
