Food Scene

The Latchmere is part of a small chain of South London pubs, most of which lie south of the river. It’s a spectacular building, showing some of the modernity that that has kept real ales and seafood boards relevant. Call it contrived, but you’ll find mighty burgers, steaks, and decent fish and chips – not that you should feel disinclined to go full ‘gastro’ with dishes like porcini and ricotta ravioli with walnut pesto on offer. Meat is sourced from their own farm in Hampshire; the atmosphere is warm and unpretentious. It’s cheery stuff.

Yes, another pub. But a pub that rolls happily along pulling a trailer of quiz nights, busy gardens, wood pigeon salads and salt and pepper squid. But hold on. The Lighthouse, which much must have spent a sizeable amount making it look the way it does, also boasts tea-smoked sea trout and crab linguine. Ultimately, it does that clever thing of getting the necessary steaks and fish and chips right while adding fun bits of colour, so that guests who do want to go off-piste won’t be disappointed. Good, adventurous beers come as standard.
