Well they don't - get yourself down to the Boom Boom where Pete Feenstra's helping to keep the blues alive. The clubhouse at Sutton United FC is the venue and Mr Feenstra puts on a band there most weekends (and sometimes during the week as well). Over the past couple of years I have seen some great blues acts there - Popa Chubby, Joe Bonamassa, Devon Allman, Walter Trout and Nine Below Zero to name but a few. Drinks are at social club prices which means that you still get change from a fiver and the music is fabulous. he also promotes a fair few "tribute" bands which are not really to my taste but he's keeping music alive and that is really what matters. Entry fees vary but it's normally ranging from £8 - £15.

The pub has won a number of awards and is the current CAMRA pub of the year for south west London. There were half a dozen mostly local ales on and a couple of ciders. Stuck to the ale myself and the 3 I tried were all in excellent condition. My favourite was the TSB (no link to the bank...or it would probably have left me with the same bitter aftertaste as my interactions with the institution have). The pub looks slightly unusual to me from the outside, but in a very cool way. Inside this is a charming relatively old fashioned pub with some coloured lights, paintings and adverts for local events. There are a couple of tv screens for the sport.

However when I do go I find this a very laid back, friendly bar, that whilst obviously a local doesn't come with the same aggressive overtones that you get with some of these out of the way places! It's an honest down to earth place. With a house double vodka and mixer under a £5, you're on to a winner here - and the music isn't half bad either! They seem to have quite a few music events, which always makes a good atmosphere. One thing to note, they do stop doing the Sunday lunch pretty early, and whilst there is a Tesco across the way's that also closes early and you have very limited food options in the area. I had to survive last time on crisps and nuts, which didn't go down so well with my plan to drink lots! If you're in the area or into open mic's then check this place out, but I wouldn't recommend going out of your way otherwise.

Large Youngs pub and hotel attractively situated on Wallington Green, with a 24-bedroom…read moreaccommodation wing, beer garden and catering facilities for functions. There's been a pub on the site since at least 1726, when Wallington was but a hamlet: it was originally called Bowling Green House. Between 1726 and 1773, it appears to have acted as a lodging house for travellers, and became the Duke's Head some time between 1740 and 1806. The present building is mid-Victorian and was bought by Young & Bainbridge in 1857, although it had been supplied with Young's beers since before 1832. It is listed at grade II, despite suffering bomb damage during World War II. The pub itself has a rather domestic, whitewashed exterior, with the new hotel extension sitting behind the original pub. The lounge bar interior is reminiscent of the 'roadhouse' style of pub - a large central bar area serving a spacious, multi-roomed interior, with lots of wood panelling, and a mixture of banquette seating and tables. There's a small outdoor drinking area at the front, facing Wallington Green (not quite as picturesque as it sounds, given that the Green is small and bounded on two sides by busy roads), and a large enclosed beer garden at the rear. They serve a couple of Young's Beers and a guest, which on our visit was Courage Directors, alongside Young's Bitter and Special. They do an extensive range of food, from soup, salads (from £7.95), sandwiches (from £4.95), Pizzas (from £7) and more substantial main courses, with daily specials, from around £10-£17. The function rooms are a very popular for wedding receptions, with the added benefit of accommodation for visiting guests on site. The hotel rack rates are pretty hefty (£115 for single and £120 for doubles) but can drop to around £80 for two people sharing a twin room with full English Breakfast if you hunt around on-line. Although very busy, we were served reasonably quickly, although (alas) not with a smile, and a few of the locals were a bit raucous (presumably had been drinking all day). The Young's Special however was in tip-top condition.

The barman was rather rude about it and claimed I hadn't said I wanted the house when I had. What pub automatically serves the most expensive option by default anyway, even if this was true? Ten pounds and ninety pence for 1 glass of wine. My friend got charged 7.50ish for a gin and tonic, so wine wasn't the only drink being upsold. This pub has notions; even pubs in Chelsea are not this expensive. How they get away with it in Wallington is anyone's guess.

So skeptical we trotted in with our fish and chip bag, to be greeted by a banging rock band and a pub full of Hells Angels! We found a table tucked in the corner behind the band, and sat and ate our food to the awesome tunes that the band were throwing out. Pub had a brilliant atmosphere and friendly staff, even took our empty fish & chip papers away! There is memorabilia dotted all about the place even with concert flyers under the table glass tops, which all adds to the charm. Would def recommend if ur a rock music fan and fancy something a bit different. Will come here again :)
