Despite the large restaurant being empty apart from 2 people, we were told the only option was to sit outside. In December! We were on our way to see Chelsea FC and arrived in London earlier than expected. We had walked past the Ryslton many times before so decided to give it a try. It was 4:30 in the afternoon, the signs on the window said "home fans only" and you could see it was empty apart from 2 people. As soon as we walked in we were told that we had to sit outside if we didn't have a reservation. I asked if every table had a reservation in the next couple of hour? But was bluntly told sit outside or not at all. We went elsewhere and will continue to do so in future. If they were fully booked, why not put up a sign to that effect rather than suggesting home fans could enter? Or just be a bit more polite when turning people away? PS - since found that if you go the their website and try to book online, it says the restaurant is permanently closed

We ate outside and the staff turned on the heater located on the roof. It was a bit cold outised and we were confortable.We ordered fish and chips and the vegan pie.Both were outstanding but I admit the vegan cottage pie was even better.Vegetarian options: Most have a vegan version available.

Phenomenal food, truly blew me away. Chicken wings and fish n chips were so flavourful and presentation was impressive.

Accommodated in the outside beer garden (which was warmly heated despite being a cool evening) without a booking on a busy Saturday night. Friendly service from most staff and a delicious Parma with chips. Will return.

Very nice place to hold a conversation with your bestie and enjoy nice food as well!!! We had sweet potato fries, nachos with cheese, Easy Living Pale and Blue Moon beer and everything was amazing!!!The waitress was efficient, nice and warm with us. Those things make the difference and I think me and my friends will come back 100% sure!!! ???

Lovely friendly and helpful staff , food was bit naff and expensive for what it was . Dry crunchy meat on ribs and chicken and sake for the batter on the fish . No vinegar so had a bowl with a spoon? Bit awkward to use . And was 11 of us seated in a really long table would of been nice if it was a L shape so we could actually speak to each other but no complaints other than the food

Had Sunday roast here and it was wonderful. The fish and chips were also very tasty. Nice atmosphere and outdoor seating.

Visited with my brother for nostalgia, as we used to live there many moons ago. Was called The Norman Arms then. Lovely and clean. We didn't have time to eat, so we didn't see a menu. It has changed quite a bit from the early 80's.
Nice place with a lot of vegan options including vegan Wellington for the Sunday Roast. Outside patio dining is lovely on a nice day

No Idea how they made it but I have to admit it was one of the best chicken I ever had ( and I'm picky person ) it wasn't dry or overcooked, was perfectly cooked. Vegetables 'to the tooth ' great combination with gravy sauce. Busy places, food served without rush. Table service makes everything easier.

Sunday roasts were very goodI had vegan wellington, never eat vegan, I don't like fake meat, this was veg, lentils and more, vegan gravy was top, real roast spudsA bit more cheese sauce on the cauliflower would be goodMary the lady that looked after us was really nice and did a good jobNot a fan of the plastic flowersMention Elaine ?

Stylish and clean community pub, with great service, very reasonable prices and lovely food. A special shout out to Jack who is brilliant and funny, patient and professional. Let's keep supporting pubs like this!
