East Hill, The

The East Hill is located in Wandsworth on Alma Road SW18 in the heart of an area known as the Tonsleys. The pub is approximately 200 yards from Wandsworth Town railway station, which serves the main line into central London as well as direct to Twickenham.

Hidden in a residential street and looking more like a modern country residence than a pub, the environment is clean, bright and permeated by elegance, all made comfortable by the presence of big woven carpets, wall benches and old-style leather couches.

The East Hill is a gastropub in every sense of that description; customers have the option of lounging out and enjoying the atmosphere of the bar with a glass of wine or the specially selected beers on offer. A small conference/private dining room is also available, which seats up to fifteen guests, while, shaded from the sun or warmed by heat lamps, the outside patio can be utilized by drinkers and diners alike.

The menu ranges from homemade burgers, seared salmon on warm potato salad to rib eye steaks and broad bean and pea risotto. There is also a great choice of bar bites including a whole baked camembert and homemade scotch eggs. Fish lovers will enjoy Fridays at the East Hill with an extra fishy menu and specials.

While Sundays are the day to relax at the East Hill, why not start with a perfectly mixed Bloody Mary, enjoy a great roast lunch and stick around for the ever popular quiz on Sunday evenings?

Beers and wines are far from disappointing: you could opt for a Tea, San Miguel, Bitburger, Twickenham Scrum Down, Doombar, Aspall on draught, or Tiger, Sol, Konig Ludwig Weiss and Baltica (Russia) in bottles. The real attraction as far as the drinks go, however, is the wine, arranged on a list 30 vineyards long. Whites and reds are grouped according to dryness and flavour, and they have been selected with extreme care and knowledge.
