Foxley Hatch, Purley

Has been my local for years now, although I tend either to go on Friday nights or Monday nights (for the Monday Club!) and have found it to be a great pub. Food served quickly and bar staff friendly. Also, the crowd in there is generally friendly (especially compared to the other pubs in Purley!). Would definitely recommend. As for crticisms about lacking atmosphere, I find that being able to talk to my friends in a pub gives the place more atmosphere than which brand of music is blasting.

A Bar 2 Far, Tooting Broadway

Maybe slightly against the idea of B.I.T.E., but I've been there a few times for lunch and found the place amazing. Have sat in the beer garden (v. spacious) and have lovely (cheap!) food with waiter service on the food and drinks from friendly staff. They will also take our food orders over the phone before we arrive so that we can get the job done in a lunch hour. Have never had a problem with dress code there even though I'm always wearing trainers, but I must admint this was at lunchtimes.

The Selkirk, Tooting

The service at this pub is exemplary. You can pre-order your food online or over the phone so that if you have a tight 1-hour lunch break, you can comfortably go there and the food will come staight to you.

Also, they make a real effort to serve everyone on a table at the same time which really makes a difference.

This is not a cheap pub to eat or drink at, but their grub is genuinely home-made.

The menu has changed twice in the last month - check the web version to make sure you're up to date.
