Pub in Balham to watch the
Fifa World Cup 2026
Balham's best local
Established in 1870 and tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Balham High Street, we’ve been a long-standing pillar of the local area. From charity and fundraising events to community days, dog-friendly fun, epic rugby screenings, and our delicious Sunday roasts, there’s something for everyone at your local Balham pub.
This winter, join us in our heated garden or cosy indoor spaces with a warming pint, a festive cocktail, or one of our seasonal spritzes. We’re the perfect spot for a much-needed catch-up, a winter celebration, or a hearty Sunday lunch with family.
Our menu features modern pub classics and traditional British dishes, all made with the finest seasonal British ingredients. We also offer tasty vegan and allergen-free options, along with light bites, coffee and pastry for those busy afternoons juggling school runs and errands.
Landlady Anna and the team can’t wait to welcome you down this winter.
