Crooked Billet

Came in on a whim to watch the rugby and boy are we glad we did! Great food, great atmosphere, bar was packed and great service. Delighted we popped in, will definitely be coming back!

A lovely Wimbledon pub with a real country feel to it. The Crooked Billet, close to the Kings School is clearly popular and well loved by everyone. Plenty of families enjoying lunch and many a pint being savoured. A great place to visit.

Unfortunately, most of the food we tried to order was unavailable as we were told they had been very busy during the day. The food we did receive was good but felt embarrassed that I had brought a large group of overseas friends and family and there was such limited choice on the menu. It was a normal working day between Christmas and new year but still no excuse as not a large menu to start with.

We were at this lovely country pub on the edge of Wimbledon Common on Saturday and as the rugby was on it was packed! The vibe is very cosy,comfy & chilled. Lots of dogs in the pub which is really nice and they have their own water bowls and dog treats on a little stand. The service was excellent, everyone was extremely friendly. The food was good. drinks not too dear for london. We had to share a table as it was so packed but this just added to the atmosphere as you feel incredibly welcome and comfy just like a local. I was recommended this country pub by a friend who is from Wimbledon and it did not disappoint! We will be back again after a lovely walk around the common this place is perfect in every sense.

Great venue, bright and spacious, family friendly. The staff are helpful, but the menu quite limited. Besides the scotched Egg that's served as part of the ploughman's sharer, we weren't very impressed with the food. The pub should definitely offer the scotched Egg on its own as it's delicious. The crooked Billet Burger was bland and the double patties had no moisture. The accompanying fries were well cooked though, great crisp on the outside. The fish pie was extremely salty, way over seasoned, I would give that a big miss. Would happily return for a drink but will think twice about dining.

Been to this pub a lot of times but first time I had the Sunday roast hear and must say absolutely lovely. Looking forward to my Christmas meal hear on the 17th.....👍👍🎄

The Crooked Billet for many years has been a wonderful family-friendly village pub. We have visited many times over the 14 years we have lived in the area. Well Saturday 08th February 2025, we went to the pub and found a table. After we had made ourselves comfortable, we were met by one of the staff to say, sorry but children are no longer allowed in the pub area. Apparently a relatively new policy. There are some tables over there and he gestured toward the back. We walked to the back and there were no tables for 5 of us, not that he tried to help us find one after moving us. We then saw an empty booth table and as we were about to sit down another staff member rushed over and said sorry but this has just been reserved we were about to put sign and clean it. I asked them, whether they could then please tell us where we can sit and where the pub began and ended (imaginery line) and they did not know and could not tell us (great I know) then went to find out from colleagues, they came back and said I have a table for you in the back of the restaurant area, which really does not have the same feel as sitting and having a nice drink at the local village pub on a Saturday afternoon. We sat and had one drink but at that point felt so unwelcome that we said we would rather go next door to The Hand in Hand and so we left. We were very welcomed at The Hand in Hand so will be going there instead in future. By the way, this was on a Saturday afternoon, and believe from a friend that they encountered the same the day before on a Friday afternoon even when the pub was completely empty.

Not some pseudo nightclub portraying itself as a pub, nor is it reserved for grizzled men with a chronic squint. Everyone will feel welcome here at the Crooked Billet, and there is plenty of seating and a nice dining area in the back.
