About This Pub
Ah, First Post – what a gem tucked away on Brook Street! From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place is a breath of fresh air for Sutton, especially if you're after a proper cocktail bar that outshines the likes of Wetherspoons with its gin and drink selections. The food's a real highlight too; think delicious afternoon teas, tasty sandwiches, and cakes that pair perfectly with a coffee or something stronger, all at prices that won't break the bank. It's got that warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to linger, and it's squeaky clean, which is always a plus when you're settling in for a chat. But, let's keep it real, there are a couple of downsides – if you've got dietary restrictions like a dairy intolerance, the options might feel a bit limited, and I wish they'd sort that out because no one wants to deal with mix-ups on their plate. Plus, with doors not opening until 2 PM, it's not the spot for early birds, and the lack of a website makes it harder to plan a visit. Overall, though, with rave reviews and a solid 4.6 rating, I'd say it's well worth popping in for a relaxed afternoon or evening – just go in with your eyes open to those little niggles, and you'll likely have a cracking time.

Cons
-
Options for dietary needs could be better; for instance, if you're dealing with a dairy intolerance, the sandwich choices might leave you wanting more variety and awareness.
-
It's only open from 2 PM, which means it's not ideal if you're after a morning spot for brekkie or a coffee.
-
Without a website or much online presence, it's a bit tricky to check menus or book ahead, so you might end up winging it.
-
Based on the reviews, there could be room for improvement in handling specific requests, like avoiding certain ingredients.

Great little bar...something Sutton has been missing, a proper grown up Gin and Cocktail bar. Wipes the floor with the poor Witherspoon's Cocktail selection. Better than Revs in Nottingham
We went for a hen party. Nice but could have been better I have a dairy intolerance yet only one choice for sandwiches in the high tea why not other fillings on offer when i csnt have cheese. Yet my plate had cheese sandwiches with butter on obviously dont know about dairy intolerance. Yet I had rung them up
