The Northcote

A great pub with an authentic experience! Very good selection of beverages made better when served by my new Australian friend James. Experience was definitely enhanced by the friendly customer service I received from James and his colleagues. Thanks for a great session, will definitely be returning!!

I visited the Northcote a few weeks ago and could not recommend highly enough. My friend was running really late so I was sitted by myself for over an hour. A lovely young girl names Mia had excellent customer service skills coming over to make sure I had a drink. She chatted about her newest venture of moving to London and was so friendly and warm. She had excellent service and a genuine passion for hospitality. Many thanks Northcote and Mia!

Had a catch up with the girls at the pub for a cheeky cocktail and some dinner. The Steak and Onion sandwich was great and, so was the service from the lovely and quite handsome Australia bartender James. Not only will I be going back to the Northcote but, he made me want to visit Australia and catch up with him.

The Northcote is really the epitome of Clapham (despite being Battersea really). Everyone knows Northcote Road and everyone knows The Northcote. The pub itself is actually fairly generic, apart from being on a busy corner with large windows bathing it in natural light. *The* pub for the Clapham sect (little history reference for you buffs) so expect gilets, blokes called Monty, lots of blondes, discussions about skiing trips etc…..you get the idea. This isn’t a criticism - it’s got a fun and youthful vibe, in many ways it’s a local institution and a must visit. Only quibble is that the beer selection could and should be much better. Given the crowd they really should be showcasing some good craft beer.

A fine, gentle unassuming offering from Young's. The Northcote in Battersea is a little quirky, of the shabby chic genre. The beer is plentiful and varied. Only one cask ale on today though (at least as far as I could see). A modest but appealing selection on the menu, wholly appropriate for the place. A most enjoyable drink was had.
