Food is okay had better pub lunches and they insisted on serving it in a tiny basket which wasn’t big enough for a burger a chips and made it extremely difficult to eat. Apart from that the burger was okay and freshly made, I had the pulled pork burger and my partner had the cheese burger (I think he made the better choice). Whilst the food is not amazing the atmosphere of the pub is great and is a good place for a drink.
South London is very quietly being taken over by Antic, the group responsible for Effra Social, Brixton Dogstar, Battersea Mess and Music Hall, and Tooting Tram & Social. They are trying to bring the social club back to London, and it seems to be working. Balham has two quirky Antic boozers so I decided to check them out, along with the charming Poulet Rouge in between for some food.Our first stop was Hagen & Hyde, one of Antic’s newest pubs. It is right next Balham Station on the High Street, so many punters might dismiss it as a rubbish station pub – more fool them. It also looks vaguely like a shop, with coats and other garments on show in the windows. Every table inside is a different shape and size, and the walls are covered in all sorts of vintage paraphernalia. I arrived first, so I got myself a very tasty pint of By The Horns Hopslinger, and found a quirky table in a corner which had a bookshelf in the middle of it, just in case you don’t like the people opposite you. I’m sure this will also be used regularly for some classic library style flirting through the shelves. I resisted the urge to sit at one of the two upright piano tables – I’m not sure I would feel comforatble putting a pint on top of a piano anyway! There were plenty of beers to choose from and a couple of interesting ciders as well. They have built a separate dining room upstairs that specialises in fish, seasonal game and colonial British fare, and they are still decorating a large space at the back. In any normal pub, it would feel odd having part of the place unfinished, but it doesn’t seem to matter here at all. After a couple of drinks we moved on to get some food elsewhere, but I will definitely return as it is charming little pub and it was not too busy considering its location. mattthelist.com
