  “We came to the BBQ Sunday lunch, it was absolutely delicious! Everyone enjoyed the starters of Sardines, Labneh, croquettes and Caesar salad. The sirloin steaks were super tender, sea-bass beautifully cooked, and the chicken was plentiful with three thighs! Pls do more of these bbq’s! When we arrived we had to move inside due to lack of umbrellas and full sun in the garden, we were very grateful they worked out a covered solution to our outdoor seating. More umbrellas definitely required, but very appreciative you made it work for us. Definitely returning for the next bbq!”

  “A favourite local pub in Barnes. Always a warm welcome and a friendly smile on arrival. Have been here many times and never been disappointed either with just a quick pint, a take away pizza from the shack or a lunch or dinner. Warmly recommended if you’re looking for a cosy local with friendly staff and great food.”

  “I was really looking forward to trying this pub for dinner but left feeling completely ripped off. The “sourdough” with burrata and anchovies is listed at £11, which works out to £5.50 per bite (see photo). I couldn’t believe my eyes when it arrived at the table. The £6 chips were even worse and looked like they came straight from the reject pile of a low-tier frozen-to-microwave restaurant. Totally not worth the money.”

  “We asked for squid as a starter that tasted of vegetable oil. A main which was a a cos lettuce cut down the middle with some steak slices covered in a dubious Caesar dressing . So disappointing . Def going to a cheap chain if this is what you get for the price . I do feel for the pubs but it’s not sustainable if this is what you get . This food here has been excellent until the last year”

  “Google needs to add a 6th star option purely for this establishment. What’s a hidden gem; truly lovely staff serving excellent food and the best Bloody Mary I have ever had. I’m lucky this is walkable from where I live but in truth is come a long way. Oh and pub quiz is monthly… I’ll be back for that! Thank you everyone at The Brown Dog for a lovely afternoon today.”

  “i had the pleasure of visiting this lovely pub tucked away in a secluded part of Barnes for Sunday lunch. The pork was cooked to perfection, the staff were attentive and there was a lovely selection of beers on tap, I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for some where delicious to eat in South West London”

  “Excellent pub nestled away down a quiet Barnes road. We went on a sunny Saturday and sat out the back of the pub that gets direct sunlight in the afternoon with a peach tree over-hanging the space providing some quintessential shade. We had the Ndjuja Pizza, Anchovies caper pizza, and a garden side salad. All three were delicious whilst having a refreshing pint in the sun. Will be back!”

  “Not just the best roast I’ve had in Barnes but the best I’ve had in London in an extremely long time (maybe ever?). Roast beef extremely tender, flavoursome roast veg and incredible homemade Yorkshire, also extra cheesy and delicious cauliflower cheese side. Love to see an independent pub in Barnes and while the roasts weren’t cheap, at a time where eating out is expensive everywhere I’d much rather put my money here! Service was great too, thank you 😁”

  “Loved the food and it’s a great change since before the takeover. Service was impeccable. Perhaps slightly over seasoned but this is us being very picky. We don’t love that many places in London and this was love at first bite. Atmosphere a bit too loud but it was Friday night (albeit a lot of kids, I guess it was more of an unusual occurrence than normal)”

  “2.12.2020 It's open again! After a second lockdown the BD finally reopened. Serving pizza 5-7 and normal meal. (you can still do take away) It's so nice to see life back in the old dog. Food was superb. ..................................................................... This has been my local for many years. I have taken visitors for meals, met up with friends. The food has always been excellent, the staff are friendly and welcoming. It has an out door garden. Dogs and kids welcomed. The Brown dog has recently changed hands, but they will still have their famous hog roast at Barnes fair.”
