Gone bust (feel mildly guilty re my comment below).
Soon to be a Carluccio's - can't imagine anyone being too upset by this.

Seems to be really suffering due to the popularity of the 'new' Halfway House, so fingers crossed it goes bust and becomes a restaurant again.
Echo comments re outside seating in a bus stop, ha ha

Ignore the Numchuck below, he she or it obviously owns 'mel's' down the road.
Halfway House - not for me, but it's a damn sight busier than it ever used to be so perhaps Youngs are onto something.
Ah well.

Hi Mel.
Not that good in Mel's really - Open Page was much better. 'The works' that the reviewer below bangs on about ends up costing about 30 quid for two by the time you've had a coffee or whatever - a little OTT for SW18.
Asked for a pint of Spindrift. 'Ohh are you sure that's an ale you know'. Resisted the temptation to tip it over the numpty's head.
4/10 overall, would be a 2 but the garden is quite nice.

Bar staff comprehensively incompetent.
London Pride a very odd straw colour.
One to strenuously avoid, this.

No longer a pub. Has reopened as �Mel�s� Caf� Bar or some other such utter drivel. Another overpriced, mediocre, soulless and overpriced eating-joint.
Open Page wasn�t great but at least it was a boozer.

Not bad as Wetherspoon�s go. Decent wide beer selection, service is alright, always plenty of space. One for the serious drinker. Happy daze.

It�s had a few months to �bed in� now so it�s fair to give it an objective report.
Another proper local boozer ruined by Young�s. Destroyed. A horrible mish mash of crap design in the interior, the beer tastes like water (mainly just lagers now anyway), food is mediocre and LUDICROUSLY expensive, staff are utterly clueless� another one bites the dust. Some sort of wannabe gastro �style bar� crossed (Jeff Goldblum in �The Fly� style) with some Islingtonite numpty�s idea of what an old fashioned pub should be� fails miserably on both counts.
I should have seen this coming, difficult not to be very disappointed by Young�s. Again.

The Halfway House, Earlsfield
Unspeakably awful, largely due to the unspeakably awful manager.
