The Gardeners is a traditional pub at 268 Merton Road in Southfields. Its horseshoe bar, art deco touches and local curiosities give the rooms plenty of character, while a courtyard garden offers a calmer outdoor retreat. The pub welcomes casual drinks, long lunches, family meals and evenings with friends throughout the week.
The menu places British pub classics beside modern bistro dishes. Small plates can include scotch egg, halloumi fries, chicken strips, pork belly bites and seafood, allowing groups to begin with a varied sharing selection. Seasonal salads and vegetable choices give the kitchen useful balance alongside the richer bar snacks.
Larger plates cover beer battered fish and chips, grilled chicken, burgers and changing meat or fish dishes. Weekday lunch sandwiches range from roast pepper and feta to ham hock, club and steak fillings. Sunday brings roasted meat, potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and generous gravy in the familiar tradition of a relaxed pub gathering.
Cask beer, lager, cider, wine, spirits, cocktails and alcohol free drinks keep the bar relevant for every kind of visit. Puddings offer a comforting finish, while quizzes, live music and other events strengthen the pub's community role. The Gardeners combines substantial food, a lively bar and inviting outdoor space close to King George's Park.
