The Antelope

Tooting residents are lucky to have such a characterful pub to call their own. The Antelope (part of the Antic chain) is a proper boozer, where customers are welcomed whether eating or drinking. Both sides of the operation hold enticements: imbibers have the likes of Aspalls cider & Purity ale on tap; diners have interesting, yet not too ambitious food from a menu where own-made rillettes & lamb stew with mash share space with Gorgonzola ravioli & hake with aïoli. For pudding, ices come from the Battersea Ice Cream Union. Prices are fair, & quirky light fittings, groovy bar stools & a peaceful garden all add to the attraction. In the best local pub tradition, there’s even a ‘games room’ where occasional comedy, poetry & film nights are held.
