Young's pub in Balham, in the Good Beer Guide. The decor is quite traditional, with frosted glass windows, a carpeted floor, banquette seating, and displays on the walls documenting all the charity walks organised by the pub over the years. The space is broken up by a few pillars. There's a few picnic benches outside at the front, and a largish paved patio/beer garden area to the rear.

bob visited on a Saturday in June 2007. I had a very good pint of Young's Special at £2.80, probably the best I've had a for a while. The food was also very good. The steak and mushroom pie (£8) was very tasty and probably homemade. The vegetables were very tasty as well. Spotted dick (£5) to follow was tasty and very light.

The rest of the menu was also relatively standard for a pub; fish and chips, steak, and burgers. One interesting option was the brunch burger, with extra sausage, bacon, and fried egg. If you get the sausages and mash, 10% is donated to charity.

Kake visited a couple of years later, on a Wednesday afternoon in June 2009. Real ales available were Young's Special, Young's Ordinary, Waggledance (£1.52/half), and Bombardier. There were a fair few people in, and everyone seemed to be having a good time, with animated but not rowdy conversations going on all around. There was no background music, but a TV was showing tennis with the sound on quietly.

Food is served noon-10pm every day, and children are welcome until 9pm, according to a sign seen outside in June 2009.

Accessibility: A shallow ramp to get in, and uneven pavement outside. One step up to get to the ladies'.
