Normanby, The

Here's a gastropub that brings typical British favourites in a relaxed and laidback environment and it's located just along Putney Bridge Road not too far from Putney High Street. Whether you're looking for a leisurely lunch or dinner with friends in an unfussy atmosphere, The Normanby seems to get it right every time. Deep browns in the decor reflect the solid philosophy behind the food, and it's an equable balance between tradition and modernity which is pleasing to the eye and creates a restful ambience.

Sunday brunch menus might offer roast ham and fried eggs with hand cut chips or Welsh rarebit on toast. More substantial meals towards the end of the day could include starters of prawns with garlic and cayenne butter followed by a main course of crispy pork belly with chick peas, grilled vegetables, spinach and smoked paprika aioli. Finish with a warm chocolate and nut brownie with cinnamon ice cream. The global wine list at The Normanby offers some interesting choices including some from the New World.
