The Telegraph is a spacious country style pub on Telegraph Road beside Putney Heath. Its name recalls the Admiralty shutter station that stood on the site from 1796 to 1848, relaying messages between London and Portsmouth. Today the pub combines two floors of dining and drinking space with a large garden, covered terrace and easy access to walks across the surrounding heath and common.
The daily menu changes with the seasons, moving from bar snacks and small plates into fuller British and European dishes. Charcuterie such as Serrano ham and chorizo can be paired with pickled vegetables, while vegetable, seafood and meat starters provide contrasting choices for a shared table. Lighter bites make the pub practical for walkers who want something between a snack and a complete meal.
Hearty pub classics include beer battered fish and chips and sausages with mash, alongside seasonal meat, fish and vegetable mains. Stone baked pizzas offer a relaxed alternative, and the dedicated Sunday menu brings traditional roasts and their familiar accompaniments to the centre of the weekend service. A separate children's selection makes family meals straightforward.
The bar is stocked with local cask ales, craft beer, lager, cider, spirits and a substantial wine cellar. Coffee and hot drinks cover quieter daytime visits, while puddings provide a traditional finish to lunch or dinner. The garden, function spaces and dog friendly areas allow The Telegraph to work equally well for a casual pint, a long meal or a larger celebration.
