  “Visited The Cyclist in Balham with my partner a few weeks ago while visiting London, and we had such a great time! The bar floor service was amazing — friendly, efficient and great fun. The snacks were delicious, the atmosphere was brilliant, and the service was genuinely lovely throughout. Big shoutout to Adam and Ava for making our visit extra special. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in London!”

  “It took 2.5 hrs to get our main course. The Sunday lunch was dry and over cooked, pretty inedible tbh. Sounds like they had a disaster in the kitchen when someone called in sick. I didn’t envy the manager or front of house staff who were all trying their best. We still went for 30 mins at a time with no drinks or water at the table which was pretty poor. However they took the food off our bill on account of the 2.5hr wait. Otherwise, great venue, busy with a good atmosphere”

  “We dined here for lunch on a Sunday. The cyclist is easily accessed from Balham station. The service (from Julie) was great and the Sunday roast (pork belly) was delicious!”

  “We had an absolutely amazing meal at this pub! The roast was cooked to perfection, with a generous serving of meat, vegetables, and the most delicious roast potatoes—my personal favorite. We also indulged in a side of cauliflower cheese! For starters, we had the Korean fried chicken, goat cheese beetroot salad, and halloumi fries, and they did not disappoint. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully prepared. What truly made our experience outstanding, however, was the exceptional service provided by Ava. She was incredible—kind, attentive, and full of great recommendations. Ava checked in on us regularly to ensure we were enjoying our meal and had everything we needed. Her friendly demeanor and bit of banter added such a fun and welcoming touch to our visit. Highly recommend this pub for an amazing roast—and if you can, ask for Ava! She’s top-tier!”

  “We booked a table on a lovely sunny day and got disappointed when we got sit inside. We were literally the only table inside the pub. Despite the menu being quite small, the food was delicious, the fish and chips were not greasy at all and the portion was huge. The duck was full of flavour and it resonated perfectly with the rest of ingredients. Overall, it’s not the kind of place I’d go to have good quality-value food.”
