The Bolingbroke is a pub and dining room at 174 Northcote Road in Battersea. A welcoming bar leads into a relaxed dining space, giving this neighbourhood pub enough range for a casual drink, a weekday meal or a more leisurely gathering around the table.
British food is the kitchen’s focus, with produce sourced from small suppliers around the British Isles where possible. The venue highlights free range Sunday roasts, sustainably sourced fish and considered vegetarian and vegan dishes as important parts of the menu.
Weekday lunch, dinner and Saturday dining menus are joined by a separate Sunday menu, bar food, desserts and children’s choices. Set lunch and party menus create options for both a shorter daytime visit and a planned group occasion.
Cask ale and lager accompany a wine list and other bar drinks, so the pub works as both a local drinking spot and a full dining destination. Bookings are available for indoor tables, and guests with allergies should discuss the current menu and preparation arrangements with staff before ordering.
Address: 174 Northcote Road, Battersea, London SW11 6RE, England
