About us

Time was when Balham was Peter Sellers’ Gateway to the South, a national joke coined by a comedy legend. But today Balham has the last laugh as South London’s chuckle central is a mecca for laughter-lovers and music fans, hipsters and regular folks alike who can enjoy the finest barbecue and craft ales, luxury Bourbons and rare sipping whiskies to be found this side of the Atlantic divide, plus expertly mixed cocktails to zing any gathering, all served from our elegant U-bar where a welcoming barstool awaits the connoisseur of good things in glasses.

Look out for Bodean’s in Balham at the sign of the golden pig!.

Highly recommend the Game day special for value for money. Good place for American style, smoked meats and sharing style platters which make it a good place to go as a large group. Staff were attentive and made sure our needs were always met even though we were sat in the booths at the back of the restaurant.

Really good food and good atmosphere in the joint. The Pig Out III for £10 is a stupidly good deal!! Just make sure you check your bill when it comes, as they add a service charge (can be taken off) but the Pig Out III showed as being £13 on the bill, easily fixed when questioned

Definitely one of our absolutely favourites in the city! The atmosphere is very relaxed and we got to listed to some great live music in the past. The food is (almost - there was one exceptionally dry and overcooked burger incident but lets not dwell on that ) always amazing and the portions generous. Personal favourite is the Memphis Nachos and Thunder Thighs to share with a side of fries. But, on a particularly hungry night you cannot go wrong with the Boss Hog sharing platter which has a bit of everything (burnt ends are phenomenal). Dessert are great too (especially the brownie) - but it is very rare that we have any space left after the main meal!

Me and my wife didnt have anything planned for valentines day as we thought we were both working so we made a last minute decision to go into Bodeans as we both found out we were not working. We went to the door thinking we would get turned away as many places were not accepting people without reservations however they were sooo friendly and showed us to a table without any problems. We got basically the waiter of all waiters he was soooo friendly and absolutely amazing he couldnt of done anymore for us im so sorry i forgot his name it was a young black man that looked as if he actually loved his job no matter what tip we gave it seemed as it wasnt enough and Bodeans meat is to die for as its the best BBQ joint i know around london and this particular restaurant defenetly lived up to the expectations Thankyou

4 stars from me. Bodeans has great food and we always order the Boss Hog Platter! Unfortunately, the 4 stars are for the 45 minute wait for food after having to be prompted that we were here. We got 50% off the bill though. Cheers.
