HAPPY HOUR

The Bolingbroke in Battersea builds happy hour around one simple thing: real food at real prices. The thinking is straightforward enough: feed people well without the markup, and they'll stay longer, order more, come back again. It works.

Battersea's full of pubs, but the ones actually worth your time are the ones that get this right. No pretense, no angles, just solid food at honest value. Not trying to be flashy or clever. The kind of place that earns a repeat visit.
