Escape the chaos of London life and head along to Temperance near Putney Bridge. This traditional pub has taken on a new, trendy style, standing on the historic site of The Temperance Billiards Hall. Whether you wish to pop in for a drink after work, or linger over dinner and drinks in the evening, the large pub offers both cosy booth seating, and a great bar area for catching all the major sporting action on HD screens.
At lunch time, Temperance offers a great lunch deal of a sub or wrap and a drink for just £10. Imagine: slow-cooked barbecue beef smothered in oozy cheese, or perhaps you'll opt for the sub loaded with chicken, avocado, and a bacon and sweet onion jam. Each plate comes with a serving of skinny fries and a drink.
When it comes to dinner, the starters consist of sharing platters of nachos; small plates of tacos; or crispy calamari sticks with a spicy mayo for dipping. The fan favourites at Temperance include the British classic of fish and chips and comfort food of mac 'n' cheese. You can even customise your mac 'n' cheese with additional toppings of crispy chicken and hot sauce; barbecue jackfruit; or smoky beef.
Temperance is certainly the place to get creative thanks to their burrito bowls. A base of rice, salsa, guac, and spicy jalapenos can be adapted to your tastes with toppings of chicken, beef, jackfruit, or smoky soya. Similar toppings can be added to the alternative pizza cone - a classic cheese pizza, rolled and filled with chunky chips and a cheesy sauce.
If you can squeeze in dessert, the chocolate fudge cake is sure to make a fantastic option. Vanilla ice cream accompanies a thick wedge of rich, moist chocolate cake, with the layers sandwiched together by layers of caramel.
