The Regent, Balham

I am really surprised that these negative reviews have been left.

I have been going to The Balham Tup for many years, sure It has seen changes in management, food, clientele (which pub doesnt these days!) and this place has been full circle however The Tup now has the perfect mix that appeals to all customers and needs. (Ok, its no gastro pub but thats why its great - relaxed and not pretentious)

The Tup is a great place to sit and catch up with mates (especially on the huge leather couches) watch a game of football/rugby(they usually show 2 games at each end of the bar), play pool, have dinner or lunch.

Best of all when your mates are running late and have left you at the bar waiting from them to arrive the staff keep you company - they are accomodating, friendly and best of all intelligent (there is nothing worse than haing a nonsense conversation to fill the time).

It is fair to say that the new management team have got it right they have achieved the perfect drinking establishment that can appeal to everyone and that is not easy.

Well done and keep up the good work.
