The Mere Scribbler Pub (Streatham Common)

First visit to this pub for local resident.

First impressions
Welcomed with a reservation, booked in to watch the football and grab a spot of dinner with a pint. Was met with a very friendly group of staff, who provided an excellent spot and table service to all enjoying the game. I had some beer tasters and went with Doom Bar, although they had some light Pale Ales.

Food
Great mix of pub grub with lots of veggie and vegan options. Proper wedge chips and very quick service. I tried the vegan brioche BBQ Jackfruit Burger and wasn't disappointed.

Complex
They kept football fans well cared for to one side and ensured all other guests had free roam of spacious and twinkle lit pub. There is an outside area and little coves to sit and chat.
I was particularly taken with the additional notices of support, care and facilities toward baby changing requirements.

Signs also supported dogs welcome in the pub, which as a non dog owning dog lover is exactly what I hope for.

Overall
All in all, this is a little gem just off Streatham Common, that is run by a very passionate team who have set the scene for a very well run and friendly establishment. Whether it's quick pint, nibble or catching the match. I recommend this venue to all locals, families and canine companions.

Like this review if it was helpful.

Excellent lunch with a large group of families. The food was superb. The customer service was top notch. The food delivery was a little slower than ideal but worth the wait. I wasn’t aware of the beer garden too which is an added bonus. The pub is also dog friendly 🐶👍

Liked the New England Beer but the margerita wasnt amazing spoken from someone who drinks a lot of them.

Really enjoyable sunday lunch! Service was very pleasant and we had a mixture of roast dinners and other menu items and all were very good. They must have paid attention to previous reviews because we didn't experience problems.

Brunch portions are small and overpriced. Ordered avocado on toast (which was over £10, and was one piece of bread), paid an extra £2 for mushrooms and they gave me one mushroom!! Burgers are fine but food is better at other pubs nearby. They do show the football though.

This place has gotta be among the 10 worst pubs in London.
I’ve never had a worse burger since buying one at a kids football tournament but that cost £2.
This one however cost £15.5.
They brought hot chocolate for my son but they forgot the sugar so had to look for it ourselves.
Ditto napkins and ketchup for the burgers.
To cap it all, they charged us £8 of service charge.
You cannot make it up.

Award winning burger!! If the award was the WORLDS WORST BURGER!

- soggy fried chicken
- strange combination of flavours
- very wet tomato

My friends also had cold snotty poached eggs.

Food was great, service was excellent; particularly recommend the blackberry and apple crumble with custard - definitely one of my top10 deserts of all time
