The historic Earl Spencer in Southfields, Wandsworth has reopened today after a £226,000 makeover, serving the best in pub food and drinks, just as it has done since the late 1800’s. The investment sees the main character of the beautiful Edwardian building remain, with seating refurbished to give a new level of comfort to guests visiting the popular venue.

New summer planting has been brought in to give a new lease of life to the outdoor area, making The Earl Spencer the perfect venue to enjoy the sunshine with friends and family.
The new menus cater for all tastes and appetite sizes and there is a good choice from pub classics using local produce, including burgers, steaks and pies, to a tipsy brunch, a children’s menu and light bite dishes. Sundays are headlined by the pub’s well-known Sunday roasts which are always a hit with regulars.
