The Star and Garter in Putney is not your regular type of bar; it's more of a wine lounge and an elegant venue for a variety of events, a fact that has not been overlooked by those who have hosted their wedding receptions, conferences or parties there. In particular, there are a few points which set it apart, notably the selection of more than a hundred wines, a Cheese Room featuring artisan cheeses from England, Spain and France and the charcuterie meat collection, all of which come together with delightful results.

The bar offers small plates with a variety of options such as feta stuffed chilli, roasted red pepper or sun dried tomato bread with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The mixed mezze selection is popular as it brings all the favourites together although it's good to remember that these are but handy accompaniments for the main event at Star and Garter, which is of course, drinking. To that end, there's plenty to choose from the draught and bottled beers, spirits and the wines.
