Tip top special, great staff - so what else do you need in a local pub ?
No loud music and they've got that too

The Windmill on the Common, Clapham Common
The Windmill seems to be trying to become an extension of the high street and we all know how wonderful that is (NOT).
The beer quality is a bit hit and miss, but I'm sure they'll remedy this by taking out the hand pumps to make room for an ever increasing show of gleaming chrome ones. I tried the food, but was not impressed. The new large table thing near the front bar means queuing on busy days is a nightmare. The shortage of bar staff seems to be being addressed as I keep seeing ever changing faces behind the bar.
Finally I wonder what the hotel residents make of the new refurbed pub when they wander down for a quiet chat and drink, which, whenever I visit, seems impossible with the advent of loud music everywhere .

Large quiet and spacious pub not overrun by the usual noisy Claphamites you encounter in Bar Alley, sorry the High Street. Beer is good and reasonably priced.

Ambiance has improved significantly after Youngs refit. Bar staff are very helpful and friendly plus the beer quality has improved.

No loud music - somewhere to have a conversation bottled Young beers are good
