Wibbas Down Inn - Merton

We arrived on Friday, the 15th, and were lucky to secure the last available table in the packed restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised by how quickly we were served drinks and our food arrived shortly after. The quality of the dishes was excellent. I must commend the hardworking staff who were very busy, but provided efficient service with a smile. It was an excellent evening out. Thank you.

Cheap Pub. Everything is cheaper than most other pubs in the area. When saving money outweighs all else and you’re in a hotel nearby, try here. If you don’t have to worry about spending money, you should probably try something else.

Wetherspoons can be hit or miss with some. This pub is perhaps one of the more better spoons in terms of appearances and is quite spacious but apart from that, it 's nothing to write home about.

There is so much to love about the Weatherspoon model and their effort to serve Customers at the lowest cost. There is no excuse however for ridiculously poor bar service and in this the Wibbas Down Inn excels. During my last visit on Dec 28th I dropped in for a quick drink and snack. I joined one of the clusters gathered at a till and waited for my turn to order. Time after time I was by passed by more clever queue jumpers. The bar management strategy seems to be to let the customers fight it out. “Who’s next?” If the bar staff are not going to manage this service and continue to remain single dimensional, then a more formal Q management system would not go amiss to cater for the less assertive customer. After 20 mins of waiting to be served and witnessing this comedy show I just left the building. Whoever manages this bar needs to take a look at the process incl staff training. In fairness, there is the option to order from the app.

We have recently had several dreadful meals in Witherspoons in Bath and Bristol and out of necessity used this bar in Wimbledon. What a refreshing surprise. The food was of a really high standard. The staff were excellent. Clearly the management do a good job as the tables were constantly cleared and bar service was very quick. I highly recommend this particular Witherspoons.
