The Spencer Arms is a fine gastropub on the edge of Putney Common. Its large Victorian interior has been modernised with pastel colours, hardwood floors and mismatched furniture to appeal perfectly to the local folk. There's even a family area with books and crayons for the little ones. The adults know their treat lies behind the bar which serves Aspalls cider, and proper beer from London brewers, Fuller's. Where the Spencer's heart really lies is in its Modern British food. Earthy, honest and inventive, typical dishes include an excellent English salad, pork belly with pickled cabbage, British tapas, peach melba, and (a big hit this summer) chilled raspberry and red wine soup with banana fritters. The menu changes every day and really is fantastic value for money. If you're not hungry, pop in for a warm spiced cyder punch.

Information for Groups

The superb Spencer Arms dining room has 70 covers, although up to 200 guests can be invited to a reception. A charming private area called the Alcove perfectly suits private and business parties of 10 to 20. A similar area knows as the Fire Side (complete with lovely realistic 'real' fire and armchairs) has room for around 20 too. The two comfy sections can be hired together. Parties of around 50 can be held outside on the pavement terrace, weather permitting. Bespoke group menus available. Children are very welcome until 9pm - highchairs, paper and crayons free for all to play with. Sound system, TV and video available. Live music on request (there's a piano ready and waiting).
