    Excellent pub off the beaten track. Well kept real ales. Homecooked, good value food. Friendly and…read morehelpful staff. Top notch!

    If you visit Woodies' website, it will tell you that it's 'New Malden's Best Kept Secret.' It's so…read moresecret, that we had to phone to find it. Boy, are we glad we did. The superb experience began with the aforementioned phone call. The assistant manager (hi Ben) was so impressed with our determination to visit his establishment, he'd chosen two of the seven (I think) available real ales for us, poured them before we arrived, and bought them for us. He made us drool with a description of last weekend's beer festival (and it was a proper festival at that, with loads of beers on tap), and the brochure from it. We couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. The pub is indeed hard to find it is in a sports' ground, but not the LSE sports' ground (important to note it's where we looked first). There is a large car park behind it, and the building is a single story oddity it doesn't hugely resemble a pub. Once you walk in though, your eyes will be assailed with stuff. The pub is football themed, but not in the kind of eight-million tellies blaring the Chelsea game at full volume. Whilst there are a couple of LCD televisions, indeed, showing the footy, they are not hugely obstrusive. Instead, what makes this a football pub is the sheer amount of memorabilia on the walls, ceilings, tables, bar indeed, every available space. It is, even for a non-football fan like me, fascinating. The beer is superbly kept. I had a couple of pints of one Redemption's offerings (I had tried their beer before when they first opened at a beer tasting). It was just right the temperature was spot on (just a little below room temperature), and it was clear and tasty. This is clearly a pub that values its real ales. The staff all of them (even those not working but using the pub as their local) were amazingly friendly, kind, funny and welcoming (if a bit squeaky you know who you are! mwhahaha). There is a small beer garden/smokers' corner. It is neat and tidy, though not amazingly interesting (compared to the pub's interior, especially). This is a pub I will certainly be visiting again if I lived a bit closer, it would be a pub I'd be happy to call my local.

    Covid or no, this is still one of the most comfortable- and comforting- pubs in London. The…read moreinterior is dimly-lit and rustic all around, complete with 'Lords' & 'Ladies' restrooms, a toasty fireplace, and cozy nooks to have intimate conversations in. The staff is still among the friendliest I've encountered in London- especially in a pub- and despite the current situation, not much has changed. Most places are now requesting that people pay a not-so-small holding fee (per person) in advance for the table, which one does not get back if cancelling on the same day; not so with this place. Booking was easy and the table was free. Prices were not so low, but more on that later. My one and only reason to eat in a pub, on any given week, is Sunday Roast. If you're new to London and don't know what this is, don't ask questions; just go and order one, already (on a Sunday). The Sunday Roast at the Crooked Billet is in my list of Top 3 Sunday Roasts in all of London. Whatever gravy/ sauce/ Yorkshire-something-or-other they're putting in there, it lends the whole meal the perfect balance of flavor, whether you're eating the veggie version or a meat-laden one. Of that, you have your choice of beef, lamb, or chicken. My personal favorite is the chicken; because you can never go wrong with chicken. As for the drinks menu, you have your usual round of stouts, lagers, ciders, and whatever else you alcoholics enjoy. I can never get away from my love of the sweeter drinks, so I always go for their ciders on tap; it compliments any meal perfectly, in my opinion. Don't judge. I know I said I would never order anything other than Sunday Roast at a pub, but that may have been half a lie. One of my friends can't help herself when it comes to dessert, and I am not one to stop her. As such a great friend, however, I'm not averse to sharing the calories and splitting the bill. So, I can attest to the sheer delicious perfection that is their Salted Caramel Pudding dessert with a scoop of ice cream. The others are great, too, but this one really stands out among the rest. Now, as to the unpleasantness: Given the current situation and all the measures that have been put into place, I feel that prices have gone up everywhere. I can't be sure if that's the case here, but between the 3 of us, my friends and I managed to spend a few quid shy of £100. Not unreasonable given all we ordered, but keep the tab in mind when going for all of those extra drinks; for your wallet's sake. Happy gorging!

    I was in the area and based on the reviews I decided to give it a try. I really don't know what I…read morewas thinking when I ordered the fish and chips vegan option. I should have just went with the halloumi option instead. The non fish filet was made of tofu (I am a big fan of tofu), this dish was just not good. The first bite wasn't bad but the second one was just so bitter as if the tofu were spoiled. I had the chips and called it a day. Service was fine deco is very bright and colorful.
