As of 23 January 2008 they have [http://www.bricklayers-arms.co.uk/?page_id=64 started] offering food, which is served all day every day and is provided by [http://steve-rushton.blogspot.com/ SCOFF]. The quality of the food is pretty good, but because it's essentially a takeaway delivery, takes 30-45 mins to arrive regardless of how empty the pub is. It's also more expensive than the average pub, but is still reasonably good value. You may want to order your dessert at the same time as your starter. You can pay by credit card for the food, but this involves stepping behind the bar to read your card details out over the phone after your order is placed. We tried "Lamb Casserole with rosemary dumpling" (£9), "Steak and kidney pie" (£11) and "Rare breed pork sausages with caramelised onion gravy" (£11). The sausages were excellent - meaty and tasty, and came with puréed potatoes and a generous serving of tasty gravy. The pie was not a "true pie", having pastry only on top, but that pastry was at least shortcrust. It had perhaps suffered a little on its journey to the pub, and lost a little of its crispness. |

The decor is quite basic and functional, but in a good way. There's a large table at the front which is good for bigger groups. They have a proper open fire, and a bar skittles set. There is a largish paved beer garden at the side of the pub with a barbecue that is presumably fired up in the summer months. |

Good Beer Guide pub in Putney, and CAMRA's Greater London Pub of the Year 2007.
Serves the full range of Timothy Taylor beers as well as guest ales. (One notable guest on our January 2008 visit was Downton Chocolate Orange stout - very tasty.) Tim Taylor Dark Mild was very drinkable at £2.80. The other beers were all at the same price. They possibly have real cider in the cellar; they certainly had bottles of Westons.
They really care about their beer here. On our last visit, the barman poured an entire pint down the sink because he thought it looked a bit cloudy.

The men's toilets are very small.
