We had some very nice meal here after the Fulham match against Man City. It's a great place with some nice dishes. It's really nicely decorated and very cozy. A lovely place to be. We check the menu and I'm having fish and chips. As starters we have Scotch eggs and sausage rolls. Both are very tasty and a great way to start the meal. The problem is that the service really leaves us hanging here. Out waitress like takes forever to serve us out drinks and forgets half the stuff... okay, maybe she just had a bad day or was new, but it was quite annoying. But finally, the meals arrive and look very delicious. My plate with haddock and fried is huge and very tasty! Overall, a great restaurant with rather high prices though minus the rather bad service.... but 3 starts would be too little, so I give 4... read more

If service wasn't so dismal, I would have rated this place a perfect 5, however having to ask for water multiple time was tiring. Not receiving ketchup after you asked 3 times was annoying. Having to ask 3 different people for the check... do you see where I'm going here? Other than that, the food was great. I had a fish dish with corn puree and chorizo. The portion size was satisfying. The chips were great as well. Perfectly fried and crunchy. The atmosphere was warm and they allow patron to bring their pup inside. Definitely a great neighborhood find! read more

The Sands End - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

Situated in the back streets of Fulham, near the River this cosy little pub reminded me of sitting in someone's kitchen having a chat. Irish owners bring a friendly and family feel to this pub and kitchen which obviously works for the many families that live in typical Fulham 2 and 3 bed houses in the surrounding streets. Not really close to anywhere, this is a pub for the regulars and the few that may have heard of it, I doubt you would stumble across it. Apparently the ethos was to bring the country to London and in that they have succeeded, not in any way pretentious, and as I said before it was like sitting in someone's kitchen as I did as a nipper out in the shire's. Take it as you find it. Traditional british food, expect game shot the previous week-end, trout, salmon and crackling pork and you won't go wrong. The menu is changed daily and the one I choose from had Dorset Snail's - A twist on traditional British I think. read more

The Sands End - Scotch eggs and sausage rolls - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

See all

I've been here four or five times and I've grown to really like it - to the point I'd now consider the trek to this part of London as a destination. It's quite off the beaten path, in a residential neighborhood. I'd only been here because it's close to a business location I visit periodically; it's a great place to catch a post-meeting pint, usually in the late afternoon. Then I noticed the excellent menu. The last couple of times I tried the scotch eggs. I thought they'd be an acquired taste, but they were delicious, with tasty sausage meat and very correctly cooked eggs, and sliced in half for you so you don't have to. I noticed that they are replaced from the bar as people consume them. These are freshly made! I can say the same thing about the sausage rolls. I went later on a Thursday, closer to dinner time, and as the local population got off work, it started to get more busy, more lively, with everyone taking advantage of the excellent craft beers on tap as well as other libations, and the previously-mentioned scotch eggs and sausage rolls. The bar has free wireless, a nice airy feel, it's not cramped, and there's plenty of space between tables. A bonus is good people watching. A real classic pub more in practice than look, but nicely modern without losing the best of a traditional pub. read more

I was all geed up not to like the Sands End. It lurks in a kind of urban hinterland somewhere in the unholy triangle formed by Fulham, Parsons Green and Wandsworth. As you approach the door, a blood-chilling howls cuts the air like a knife and you realise that, at any given moment, a crowd of tweed-wearing Ollies and Tarquins could gallop out of the mist, mottle-cheeked and flushed with booze and razorburn, and bray you into submission. Aforementioned crew of Caspians were, indeed, in evidence, but we were six. Heartened by strength of numbers, we entered. It's nice enough inside, I suppose. I can't remember too many paeans to pretentiousness but then I can't remember an awful lot about the decor at all, so I suggest we file it all under "inoffensive" and move onto the food, which was generally pretty good. Snails to start were perfectly nice but would have benefited from even more garlicky goo. Oysters, I'm told, were excellent, but as an allergy prevents me from indulging what was once a passion for oysters that verged on the indecent, you'll have to take someone else's word for it. Mains were mostly meaty, with steaks very well cooked and my game pie warmingly savoury. Having to order potatoes as a side always strikes me as a bit of a swizz, but everywhere else does it too, so we won't judge them too harshly. The clanging discord in this otherwise rather mellifluous concerto of the carnivorous was a horribly underdone slice of venison. We had no chance to test the kitchen's retrieval routine as the afflicted diner chose to keep shtum about the offending object until plates were being cleared. Tch. Trust me, I would have spoken up. Allow me to spare a word for our thoroughly professional and comfortingly attentive waiter, who didn't miss a beat all night. A disappointingly breathless bottle of Barolo was decanted instantly (it helped, but take my advice and skip it and go for the cheaper and better St Emilion). Plates and glasses were cleared and replaced with the perfect blend of despatch and unobtrusiveness. I salute him. We didn't stint on the wine but the bill still didn't set any alarm bells ringing. Go with a measure of restraint and you'll escape for £35 a head with booze. Which, ok, isn't exactly recession-friendly, but I've paid more for worse. Heartily recommended. read more

Very nice local pub. Food is excellent and not too expensive. The best thing about this pub is that they have Hooky Bitter which is a good session beer. Staff is very nice and helpful. read more

Great as a pub. Has friendly service, good drinks, and nice font garden seating. Gets very busy on weekend nights. Ok as a restaurant. Very creative gastro pub with delicious mains, but everything is over salted to the point that I can never finish my food. Living nearby it's a pain. The clientele is rude, parking and driving with no regards for the neighbours. Bottle caps and broken glass litter the sidewalks every morning. read more

I entirely agree; a first-rate local gastropub with a lovely open-air feeling and excellent food. read more

I do love this pub- the food is delicious and seasonal (top marks for the Venison) and apparently they have a great selection of beers (the wine tasted good to me). The layout is great, very open and light, yet cosy; with a slightly separate dining area at the back. It always seems to be busy, and due to the location of the pub (the depths of Fulham) the clientele are very similar...twinsets and pearls spring to mind- but the quality of food and drink make this very bearable indeed. read more

My experience at the Sands End was a delight. Lovely place; great atmosphere. The food was so good that I was actually shocked at the end of the meal when the bill came and it was so reasonably priced (£30 a head. We had two courses and then shared a dessert. We had no alcohol though.). The value at this place is truly excellent. A great deal of thought has gone into the menu. Genuinely impressed. I'm so glad this place is nearby. read more

I would never recommend this place. The waiter recommended the fish and chips, but the fish was green on the inside and very fishy. He never came back to check on us so I could show him. He then charged us a service fee for the lack of service he offered. It was expensive and we had terrible service and the food was not good. Don't do it. read more

This has turned into a great gastropub since it was taken over and rebranded from its previous reincarnation. I often feel that pub grub dissapoints especially when you opt for fish but this is a hidden gem and a place which I will go back to moving forward purely based on its culinary merits. That said the drinks menu equally impresses so if you live in the area this is a must visit if you can find the place. This is the pub to eat food in the area. read more

Love this place! Was our local when we lived in the area. AMAZING scotch eggs and sausage rolls. Lots of yummy ciders and beers on tap. Great cozy atmosphere and dinner menu is getting better and better over time. Definitely a must if in the area. read more

They do a superlative £13.50 set lunch which changes weekly. The chef has changed recently and the cooking has gone to another level - highly skilled execution and delicious to boot. A cut above the majority of gastro pubs in these parts and better than the Michelin starred Harwood Arms imho. read more

Pretty good pub, nice food especially the meats and fish dishes (however, sometimes on the heavy/ salty side), good service, nice atmosphere. A local favourite! read more

Finally the right combination of good beer and great pub food.Home made scotch eggs on the bar, well kept real ale and a superb menu that made it hard for the four of us to order without leaving something out that we had to try. Rabbit terrine, oysters, very well priced top end wines ( rare ), superb lamb, classic puddings. Difficult to fault. Good service and a decent unpretentious atmosphere, I wish I lived closer as this should be my new local. Well deserved gastro pub of the year. read more
