About This Pub

Ah, Rushmere in Wimbledon Village – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a welcoming local haunt, doesn't it? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food really steals the show; they've got this innovative seasonal menu packed with fresh dishes and classics that pair brilliantly with their drinks selection. I love how they've nailed the Sunday roast and even thrown in deals like their Prix Fixe menu for a bargain evening out. The staff sound like absolute stars, always on hand with a smile and making sure everyone feels looked after, whether it's for a casual lunch or something bigger like a wedding. It's spot-on for families or if you're bringing the dog along, and that cosy interior with the outdoor beer garden makes it versatile for any weather. Plus, with events like Wing Wednesday and live sports on the telly, there's always something to get excited about. On the downside, it can get a tad chaotic when it's packed, leading to waits on service or the odd menu item disappearing, as one person shared after a hectic Father's Day. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good time with mates or family – just maybe book ahead for those peak moments to avoid any hitches.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is absolutely delicious, with innovative seasonal dishes and a cracking Sunday roast that hits the spot every time.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's a proper family-friendly and dog-friendly spot, which is brilliant if you're popping in with the kids or your four-legged mate.
  • The atmosphere is lovely and cosy, with a great beer garden for enjoying a pint outdoors when the weather's playing ball.
  • They've got loads of fun events and deals, like Wing Wednesday or catching live sports, which adds a real buzz to the place.
Cons

  • Occasionally, items on the menu run out or get cancelled, which is a shame when you're looking forward to something specific.

Father's Day lunch was of course busy, but there were long delays to our order with no communication. So we skipped one of the starters which had run out and was being made from scratch to move things along, but they also cancelled the other starter, then a side dish wasn't available. I think the serving staff could have proactively worked to try to fix things, rather than us having to ask what the problem was. Wasn't just us as another table gave up pre-dessert.

Incredible service and love from Meesha, Dimitri and Allie(Manager). The food was delicious and drink top class! People are super attentive and friendly and they will make you feel at home immediately. I will rate this pub higher than Hand in Hand.

We love Rushmere for a casual weekend lunch. The staff are very attentive and efficient! The atmosphere is cosy and comfortable! (The photos are of the Mushroom and Lentil Soup, Lemon and Thyme roast chicken, and Cherry and Coconut crumbles)

Thank you ♥️ 🍻 gorgeous beehive lady! They have no problem with bringing hoovering appliances. Being More! They live it. Fabulous staff and great sense of humour. Just a short stagger from the Rushmere Pond! 🌟

We recently hosted our wedding at The Rushmere, and we couldn't have chosen a better place! From start to finish, the experience was flawless. Karen and her team were incredibly attentive, the food was fantastic, and all of our guests were thrilled with how everything turned out. It was so easy to work with the team from the very beginning. They were professional yet friendly and never said no to any of our requests. They truly went above and beyond to make our day special, and we are already looking forward to hosting future events here. The setting was stunning, and we can’t wait to share the photos taken outside under the pub's name! We highly recommend The Rushmere for anyone looking for a venue that combines professionalism with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Thank you again, Karen and team, for making our day unforgettable!
