The Castle, Tooting, Orangery

We Don’t know the area at all but was pleasantly surprised by how gastro cool this pub was. We opted for the Sunday roast beef- compliments to the chef who cooked that meat to perfection- it fell apart in my mouth, roast potatoes were hot crunchy and well seasoned- I can honestly say it felt like a proper home cooked roast dinner. The staff were just really nice and pleasant, obvious to see they actually enjoy working in this pub - they worked well as a team you could hear them having quiet banter between each other, which was lovely to be seated in a happy environment Price -,standard London prices ££ 2 x roast beef 1 bottle of red 1 non alcoholic beer 1 dessert Including tip was £103 Good job guys x

The place came recommended by the great london bake but I have absolutely no idea why. The service was chaotic. We saw our food and drinks be taken to different tables and likewise had other peoples orders brought to us. Staff were running around like lost sheep trying to figure out the chaos - and I wouldn't even say it was a particularly busy time of day. When the food arrived it was cold, unseasoned and generally just poor quality. We had to send a meal back twice because it wasn't cooked. We gave up in the end and left with only half our party have eaten. While the staff tried to accommodate us and the issues, I'd say this place is massively let down by the quality produced in the kitchen. Definitely overpriced and underwhelming. Will not be back and have warned several people about our experience.
