Surrounded by upmarket shops and cafés, you're in the heart of Wimbledon Village. On your doorstep is a range of places to eat, from Argentinian empanada joint Chango to an outlet of The Ivy brasserie. It's also a ten-minute walk from the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

It's a 15-minute walk to the area's namesake tube station, for trains to central London.

By car: around 45 minutes from London, 2 hours from Bristol and 4 hours from Manchester. Paid parking available nearby.

By train: Wimbledon tube station is a 10-minute walk, and Raynes Park station is a 7-minute taxi-ride. Book trains to London.

Style

The décor is enjoyably old school, featuring leather banquettes and bookshelves. There are nods to the area's tennis heritage. Downstairs is a large pub, and its series of smaller and more private spaces adds a sense of cosiness. During the winter months enjoy the open fire, while in the summer, make the most of the outdoor terrace.

Service & Facilities

The staff are friendly, with everyone from the receptionist to the restaurant's duty manager offering attentive and personal service. As this is a pub-with-rooms, there are no facilities, other than several function rooms used for weddings and other events.

Restaurants & Bars

The ground-floor pub offers an impressive gin list, plus classic cocktails and local beers. The dining room serves some genuinely excellent pub grub - such as burgers, ploughmans and roasts on Sundays. A pub can be judged by the quality of its fish and chips, and here they are reliably excellent - the beer-battered haddock as crispy as the accompanying triple-fried potatoes. Try the feta and spinach arancini to start, too.

Dog & Fox: elegant pub and restaurant, British cuisine, seasonal menus. All-day dining, open daily. Mains from £16.
