The Draft House - Northcote

3.9 (45)
£25 and under
Gastro Pub
94 Northcote Road, London, SW11 6QW

About this restaurant

Since 2009 Northcote Road’s, The Draft House, has been delighting London locals with a fine combination of restaurant quality food and the best beers in the area. Cool and laid back, The Draft House works a distinctly utilitarian vibe with simple painted and exposed woods, impressively large curved bar and white painted walls. The Draft House’s ethos is based around raising beer’s profile, giving it the same attention more often paid to wines, concentrating on provenance, storing and pouring. These international beers, both bottled and on tap with many from artisan breweries, are matched with a stunningly simple, hearty and delicious menu of British food, honest and unpretentious, locally sourced and seasonal.

    What more can you ask for from this place?! Some great suggestions for pairings with the meals too, although not always available and some members of staff more knowledgable on the beers on offer than others. I wouldn't pick a restaurant on the quality of the toilets unlike other reviewers on here anyway...

    Good location and decor - the menu looks exciting too but the reality is disappointing. No atmosphere, average food and slow, unfriendly service - particularly from the bar.

    We had a lovely meal for 5. The service was excellent, the food and drink very nice. However, the toilet (only one as one toilet was out of order) were so dirty and disgusting we will probably not be returning. Worse than anything I've seen in a long time, smelly, grimy and the soap container was leaking onto the floor making the floor slippery. The grime in the corners and around the sink suggested that cleaning only consists of a quick "wipe down" of larger surfaces and the floor. Not acceptable for somewhere that sells food. My husband said the men's urinal did not smell and the smell was disgusting. I've dined at this pub before and don't remember it being like this, so hopefully they will improve.

    The foot long pork scratchings were good (although not, as my husband pointed out, a foot long). The burger I had was pretty sub-standard - that tough compacted quality which normally indicates a burger hasn't been hand made. Ribs were said to be good though.

    We've been here a couple of times and the burgers are some of the best in London. Onion rings are quite good too, and wash it all down with some of their excellent beers. Always a good variety and usually some unique options.

    We arrived early for our table at the Draft House but were seated and served with no hassle. The food, although tending towards burgers and steaks, had something for everyone. Very much good pub food without being gastro. All was freshly prepared and cooked and the service was excellent. No time wasted trying to get the bill and then paying (one of my pet hates). All in all a good evening with helpful and efficient staff.

    Excellent pub with great selection of beers, ales and stouts from London and interesting breweries around the world. Good pub grub, including excellent burgers, steaks and daily specials. What they do, they do well. Outdoor area good for summer evenings. I've eaten here many times and will return again and again. A local stalwart.
