The Hurlingham, Fulham, London

It’s always a good week down Wandsworth Bridge Road, or, to be more specific – down at the The Hurlingham Pub; Monday night, trivial pursuits, Tuesday night, £5 burgers, Wednesday and Thursday any special they may have on offer from their delicious menu of home made food, Friday night, Live music and free champagne cocktails for the ladies, and just because too, not even a catch! Saturday, well it’s Saturday! And then Sunday ends the week with the grand finale of the traditional Sunday roast. Tis not bad at all really.
The Hurlingham is also available for private hire and with a beer garden, the comfortable décor, the welcoming staff and an extensive range of wines on offer you would be in for a good night out. A definite recommendation of mine.

I can’t tell you how happy I am to frequent The Hurlingham. I guess it’s sports bar with class? Who would have thought that was ever possible?
And really once you been around the green you will know this place is special.
I love the old French sign on the Bar that says “Crush me, squeeze me, make me wine” with the cute calendar girl and her grapes. These are the quirky elements that really make me happy here. Amazing bookcases line the walls, a large carpet rug, runs underneath, and old school desks (no actually form a school, not a hip reference) finish off the huge dining area.
Not only is there a bench out front with all the bustle of Wandsworth Bridge, but there is a quiet version, a smoking area/ beer garden with lounges, big comfortable ones too, out the back.
With the funniest pub quiz I’ve taken part in, on a Monday (£1 pound entry, great prizes & they will reserve you a table) and then Beat the Clock Wednesday’s (where by the time you order is the price you pay) I don’t see why I would bother going else ware?

just perfect for a london pub, no rubbish just good food, great staff and loads and loads of fun

Once good for a packet of crisps, a pint and a good stabbing this well located outlet has been completely re-invented as a gastro sports pub. The decor is lavish with dining tables intermingled with book cases and irresistable leather sofas. Never has the name 'public house' been so appropriate as it feels like an improbably large private reception room. Apart from the plasma screens that is.

Under new British ownership there is a plasma screen everywhere you look, often with 3 different events going on simultaneously. It is sportstastic. Escape is futile. 24/7 wall to wall cricket or croquet - its there. This is fine in the bar area but distracting in the dining area (and so uncouth in my books to have sky sports on over a salmon steak)

Still the overall ambience is an alluring combo of sofas and screens clearly aimed at local Fulhamites and Antipodeans. The food is very good if you get away from the bar menu and the staff are still full of the optimism that comes with a new venture.

Its not often that a barman throws his hand over the bar and introduces himself in a genuine gesture towards a potential new regular. I wish them well.

ps free wireless broadband which is great for quieter moments

This pub has changed! Oh wow! I just love the decor and the finishing touches are so original it’s inspiring. The new owner is actually a Londoner who has no intention of creating a sports pub but wants to accommodate all wallets and wants. There are 3 plasma screens but only all on for big games (England rugby we hope) and the food is great honest English Pub fair! If you in for the cricket then have a seat at the bar but in for supper then relax in the great restaurant area for one of the daily specials. I just can't say enough about this place, its soo perfect.

This is my new local even though I have to walk past the Ship and Sands End to get there!
