  “Was met by Liga who had a huge smile to welcome us in and take us to our tables. The place was very crowded but we still got to still in a quiter area and had a wonderful experience. Food was so yummy, my daughter 6 year old enjoyed every bit of it and loved the milk bread with butter and chicken tikka. Liga's service and Head Chef Mahesh food were exceptional.”

  “Our generous and kind son put us up at the Alma for the night, It was absolutely fabulous! The room was spotlessly clean, fitted out with absolutely beautiful furnishings and such a comfortable bed. The wonderful Izzy on the front desk was so welcoming and helpful and the breakfast in the morning was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this beautiful place whether you pop in for a drink, something to eat or are fortunate enough to stay the night!”

  “I definitely recommend coming to The Alma. It’s quite hard nowadays to find a pub that does fantastic food and has a great vibe - this is it! I had a Picante (which was excellent), the lamb scotch egg, the cote de boeuf Sunday roast, and my partner and I shared the sticky toffee pudding. Literally, it was all SO good! I had asked for extra gravy as well as extra potatoes which they happily provided free of charge. Staff (in particular Liga) were friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to come back!”

  “It was lovely to visit this nice old London pub. The staff were all really friendly and attentive, made us feel welcomed. Drinks were good and the food was delicious. We were staying at the Holiday Inn and it was a short walk from there.”

  “This was hands down the most amazing and delicious Sunday roast ever. Everything was flavourful and we're very generous portions. The absolute Highlight though, were the King Scallops. I could have ordered them all day long. Meaty, smokey, bursting with flavor and such an incredibly taste. Even the sauce I was tempted to just lick it off the shell (maybe a piece of bread with the dish is necessary!!). Totally worth coming back for the scallops alone... Did I mention they were the best thing ever? Just *chefs kiss*. Great service by Liga and everyone else.”

  “🚇 Wandsworth Town 🍺 £6.80 Pravha The Alma is located in Wandsworth, in southwest London. The nearest station is Wandsworth Town, which sits just across the road. The building dates to around 1870 and takes its name from the Battle of Alma, the first major battle of the Crimean War. This Victorian pub is Grade II listed, clad in striking glazed green tiles, and was originally known as the Alma Tavern. It also boasts boutique bedrooms on the upper floors. This is a traditionally decorated, one-bar, two-room pub that has a number of stunning features. The pub is essentially divided into two sections: the main bar area, with an island servery at the front, and a dining area situated in the former billiard room at the back. There is also an additional dining/function area beyond that. The decor consists of boarded and parquet floors, beautifully carved woodwork, unique back-painted mirrors, and some unusual mosaic roundels. There is a mixture of seating throughout, plus a few TVs for live sport. The beer selection was solid and offers a lineup of well-known brews, including cask ales. I decided on a Pravha; my pint hit the spot, price point was above average. The food menu features pub classics, a range of steaks and chops, plus roasts on a Sunday; fish and chips cost £19.50. There was also a good assortment of bar snacks. I arrived just before 1pm on a bright, sunny Saturday lunchtime in March. The pub was fairly busy, with a mix of punters of all ages and group sizes. The atmosphere was upbeat and buzzy, as the pub was gearing up for a day of Six Nations rugby, with some excellent live music. The service was great; the team on duty were welcoming and friendly. From the imposing architecture and striking tileage to the beautiful interior and welcoming hospitality, I was very impressed with this Young’s pub—a must-visit if you’re in the area. 📅 14th March 2026”

  “Haven’t been here for a while and is normally 5 stars. Went last Saturday evening, the tv’s were on in the dining room showing the football with the volume at a reasonable level. Then the rugby started and the volume was cranked up to a level where you couldn’t hold a conversation. We asked if it could be lowered and we were told no. I ordered my steak medium rare and it arrived well done but still tasted delicious and I was hungry so I didn’t complain. I’ll come again but make sure there’s no rugby scheduled and ensure my food is cooked to my liking”

  “I had seen this venue advertised on social media and I am pleased to have experienced both the food and the atmosphere. The pub was super busy and crowded and yet at the same time it was a great vibe. We visited whilst the Rugby was on and this did not hamper our experience at all, in fact it was pleasant to eat and watch the match...stayed for two matches.. and enjoy great food. The combination of the flavours of the oysters were melt in your mouth. The milk bread was light and fluffy and came with a spread that was so delicious. The meats were well cooked. If I had to say one bad thing it would be that I would have liked more choice for dessert. The venue was super busy and not once did we have bad service. Everyone was attentive, polite and simply wonderful. Note, parking is local so a few minutes walk is not a problem and the venue is opposite the station. Makes it worthwhile for you to travel and try this place out for yourself! I will be returning hopefully for the roast experience soon”
