The Golden Lion, St James's

I just went to go for lunch in this pub today. I ordered the special (thai chicken curry). I was still waiting 45 minutes later. Staff refunded the money no problem and were quite polite etc. Would not recommend the place forlunch though!

The Arab Boy, Putney

Went here a few weeks ago. Very nice bar staff and decent pints. Food was excellent and really tasty. Not too many people in there which is a pity as it could help the atmosphere of the place a bit. Would definitely recommend for food although the place is a but dull for a night out!

The Boathouse, Putney

Went here after work a few weeks ago. Beer fine, food awful. Waitresses and staff all really nice but let down by the awful food.

The Telegraph , Putney Heath

Just came back from Sunday lunch in the Telegraph. I live in the area and had been once before so was keen to try it again. It looked more like a creche than a pub when I walked in which is fair enough but if you don't like screaming kids then suggest you avoid. Big queue at the bar but lots of bar staff working so it moved pretty quick. Pint of guinness was average at best. Roasts had all sold out so ordered a burger and fish for the wife. The burger arrived and it was burnt to a crisp and the fish was overcooked too. I really could not believe they sent it out in the first place and tried to pass it off as food!! The waitress was fine when i sent it back and they replaced it quick enough but the replacement burger was nearly as bad. Not fresh at all and totally tasteless. Frozen burgers from Waitrose on a grill at home would be much nicer. Fish not bad but too much batter and not enough fish. Food in the other pubs on Putney High St such as the Spotted Horse or Coat and Badge much better than here. Pints are very expensive too (�3.40 for a Guinness) and the place always seems to be cold. The best thing I can say about it is the location is really nice and the staff are friendly and responsive but they need to look at the food being served up as it doesn't cut it.
