One reviewer has written that the place is in need of refurbishment. I agree. I visited Clapham's Bread & Roses on the Sunday of the August Bank holiday weekend (2023) at around 3 pm. The place was quiet, with just a handful of customers. I was last there in 1999. I remembered it as a fun, original and uplifting pub. A word that fairly describes what the Bread & Roses was like on my latest visit is 'dump'. The place was a dump. The pint of hand pumped bitter I drank there was ok. The four other Clapham and Balham pubs that I visited on the same day were all packed with customers.
This pub is like an Aladdins cave. It has plenty of outdoor seating at the front (all with canopy umbrells), lots of seating inside, an additional seating area at the back with floor to ceiling windows and a good sized beer garden with a side entrance. There is a small stage by the entrance for live music and comedy acts. They also have a small intimate theatre upstairs; there are a few stairs to access it so those with mobility issues should take note. They serve food and dogs are welcome.
Food delicious but service generally inefficient and unreliable. Just arrived (7.15pm) after reading that they offered take-out and dine-in and was brusquely told by a member off staff that the kitchen had closed until January (December 2021).
An awesome happening place! I don't drink, so can't comment on the drinks, but did try a couple of vegetarian options of food and I must say, they were pretty good.. They do support Live events. Check on their website to know about events happening. Worth attending!
Great pub, live music, theatre and good service. The lobster roll is the best and such good value for the quality. Truffle mac and cheese really really tasty and the chicken biscuit is addictive.
