Few London pubs enjoy as leafy a setting (complete with “lovely garden”) as this “spacious” and “friendly” tavern on Putney Heath, which is “suitable for all ages” and makes a “good destination for Sunday lunch”. Now capably run by Chester-based Brunning & Price, it takes its name from the visual shutter telegraph that linked the Admiralty in London with Portsmouth in the Napoleonic era.

Billing itself as “a country pub in London”, this beautifully located hostelry on leafy Putney Heath is “much nicer since the change in ownership and refurb,” having been purchased by Chester-based Brunning & Price a couple of years ago. “Food and beer are consistently good, with a choice of spacious indoor or attractive outdoor settings”, the latter in the big beer garden. (For history buffs, the “wonderful site” itself was originally an optical telegraph station linking London to Portsmouth during the Napoleonic wars).

“In the serene location of Putney Heath”, this beautifully situated pub “was closed for a while before lockdown 1.0” to be rebuilt by new owners – Chester-based pub group, Brunning & Price – and “has come out as a great addition to Putney”. “Spacious but humming”, it now has “great outside dining” too. True to the chain’s restaurant DNA, the food’s not very foodie, but rated consistently well and there’s a “good choice of beers and wines”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
