The Apple Tree — Restaurant in London

Just back from a Saturday drink, first time with the dog, Daizy. What a treat to be able to go to the local after 24+ years of living here. Since opening as the Apple Tree been numerous times to enjoy a local pub. The new look is great, the bar staff are so friendly its hard to say how much; the food is local and freshly cooked, so don't expect fast ping food and delicious and generous portions. Now even dog friendly so need a bigger pension as will be drinking/eating there more often. If you're local you have to support it. A lot of money has been invested in this venture and from my perspective its going to be a phenomenal asset to the neighbourhood. Use or lose and losing it would be a disaster. Too good not to socialise here, so raise a glass or 2/3/4 to...

From the minute you enter its like the scene from an American Werewolf in London where the whole pub falls silent. Very much an establishment for 'locals'.

We ordered in a group of 12 as 2 separate orders. Half the food came out, half didn't. When enquiring about where the missing meals we're, we we're greeted by silence. Add to this the random looks from the staff behind the bar that we might have the audacity to ask where the food (that we had paid for) was?

The rest of our party had finished their meals and we had the indignity of having to eat our food whilst the others made polite conversation between themselves.

If you ever find your way in Shirley, I would probably advise finding aomewhere a bit more hospitable...

Personally, this is one of the most classy pub is the local area.

I know it had it rough times in the pass, we can't forget that.

But the staff showed us enjoyment, love and most importantly trust. The let us play pool and turned up the lights!!

The music was top rating. Can saying anyhing wrong about it ever tune was hitting the vibe.

I have not tried the food. Do you do food Mr Apple tree?

Long story short... Lovely design, lovely and caring staff and good drinks

I will be bring people back to experience this place as its what a pup should be..

My only worry it gets too...
