I went into The Alma last Saturday lunch time, and had the most amazing burger cooked to perfection. I found the service to be excellent and the female bartender was very talkative and friendly.



I would definitely recommend The Alma and will be going back on many occasions after last weekend.

The Alma has recently undergone a change of management and had a mini refurb but the food is still fantastic and the service has definitely got loads better. The staff are friendly and courteous, and the new managers are a really nice couple.



The Alma is definitely my favourtite pub in Wandsworth, shame that person didn't have a good experience, I would recommend a revisit with out hesitation.

We visited The Alma last weekend and had to wait for nearly an hour between our starter and main course. The manager was extremely rude when we complained and laughed in our face when we asked for complimentary coffee in lieu of such poor service.

It's a shame because the food was great, and I've visited The Alma many times before, but probably won't be going back.

A cross between a pub and a restaurant, The Alma is one of those perfect Sunday lunch places. Sit back and stuff yourself, then spend the rest of the day reading the papers. Even if you don’t think you can manage it, try and leave room for one of the Alma’s puddings…Mmmmm.

Whenever I am working in Wandsworth I visit this pub. The selection of beer is always excellent and the cellar keeper looks after them well.


Food can be eaten either in the busy American style bar or in a small eating area set in a separate room with expensive and chunky “simple” tables.


The Vegetarian food is always wonderful and good value and can be enjoyed with a reasonably priced bottle of wine. If you are travelling on your own there is plenty of room to spread out and read the newspapers.


After eating it is always pleasant to retire to the bar and enjoy a whisky and coffee.
