Rushmere in Carshalton

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.
