The Tooting Tavern: Pub in Wandsworth, London

The Tooting Tavern is a food venue in SW17, and that shapes the feel of the place. You come for a proper meal first, and the evening takes its shape from there. Quizzes sit at the centre of the programme. Teams form, rivalries build, and the room gets loud in the friendliest way. If you like a bit of competition with your dinner, this is your kind of crowd. Musical bingo quiz nights add a sillier edge, so bring someone who can name a song from three notes. Sunday roast is a fixture too. It suits a slow lunch, a table of people you actually like, and no rush to be anywhere else. Seasonal parties turn up through the year, with costumes and a looser, louder mood.
