No 32 The Old Town

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Perfect Group Hub: Pre-Theatre Magic at No. 32 The Old Town If you’re looking for a spot in Clapham that balances effortless style with genuine hospitality, this is it. We visited last night for a pre-theatre dinner with a large group of 11 (including both adults and teenagers). Service & Flexibility First off, a massive shout-out to the team. Our booking jumped from 8 to 11 people on the day, and they accommodated us without a second thought. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff are incredibly friendly and kept the flow perfect for our 5:30 PM sitting. The Decor: A Visual Treat The interior design here is exquisite. It feels like a high-end, independent neighbourhood home. Upstairs: The roof terrace is a standout, offering views over the Common. even at night, the "urban oasis" vibe is strong. The Design: I loved the mix of reclaimed furniture, soft lighting, and plenty of greenery. It feels airy and modern but still cosy enough for a long dinner. Whether you’re downstairs near the bustling bar or upstairs in the more relaxed dining spaces, every corner is "Instagram-ready." The Food The menu is brilliantly diverse. We had a mix of ages, and everyone left happy. The teenagers found plenty to love, and the children’s menu was a hit for the younger ones. It’s rare to find a place that feels this sophisticated but remains truly family-friendly. The Atmosphere At 5:30 PM, it was the perfect, calm setting for a large group to chat. However, walking back past at 10:30 PM after our show, the place was absolutely buzzing! The energy was infectious; it clearly transforms into a vibrant late-night hotspot. Bonus Recommendation If you’re in the area, definitely head over to the Omnibus Theatre. We saw "Dinner" by Moira Buffini—the performances were stellar. Pairing a meal at No. 32 with a show at the Omnibus makes for a perfect London night out! Highly recommended for groups, families, or anyone wanting a beautiful backdrop for their meal.

Such a relaxing place yet full of nice vibes. Perfect whether it's a friday nigth and you want some groove or a relaxed sunday brunch. Great terrace upstairs. Staff all outstanding. Brunch was awesome - huge portions compared to any other brunch places where you get a tiny half sourdough, delicious. I had smashed avo with scrambled eggies and a compari sprits - yuum

No. 32 Old Town is a true gem on Clapham Common. As part of the Portobello Pubs & Bars family, quality is a given and they absolutely deliver on every level! ✨️ The staff are incredibly welcoming, friendly, and genuinely attentive, which instantly sets the tone. The vibe is spot on, with a spacious central bar on the ground floor that’s easy to access from every angle, making it feel lively without ever being chaotic. Upstairs is just as impressive - a cosy space with sofas that’s perfect for small parties, plus a roof terrace overlooking Clapham Common. The newly added umbrellas are a great touch, making it enjoyable even on rainy days. 🌞 Drinks are crafted to perfection, and the food is simply outstanding. It’s the ideal place to wind down at the end of the week with their breakfast, bottomless deals, or to kick things off for a party evening with great energy and amazing DJ sets. Huge kudos to the entire team, I’ll definitely be back! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Had brunch with a few friends, for the price, Prosecco was decent and the Apreol Spritiz were good. Once we started our 90 minutes the service was good and they never stopped providing drinks. Been to a few bottomless before where they have waited for you to finish every drop before they gave you another one. So we were very happy with this. We will be back.
