picture of Dog and Fox
The oldest watering hole in Wimbledon, the Dog & Fox now neatly represents the modern Young's pub. Its sizeable interior contains a large dining space and a more regular bar, both heavily restyled after a makeover at the end of 2006. Expect food prices in line with the wealth of 'Wimbledon Village' (£9.50 for a burger - on the bar menu) but also, perhaps surprisingly, decently kept Young's ales. If you don't fancy them, then the other choices on tap of Erdinger, Leffe, Kirin and Staropramen will probably slake your thirst. It's certainly a fine place to admire the tastes of contemporary designers, but like a lot of Young's other made-over pubs this one left us slightly cold. If you're after Wimbledon's more atmospheric public houses we'd suggest a walk further towards the Common.

second opinion:

Is this a Pub or a Restaurant? Im not sure the managers know the answer to this either not that they would care. Why would the eatery in a great place like the D&F be less than half empty on a Saturday night? They even have a Chefs table to seat twelve. The reason? Such is the pressure on the kitchen staff to finish by 11.00pm the waiting staff are under continual pressure to clear tables ASAP. We felt they must use CCTV to watch diners swallow the last mouthfull of each course before swinging into action like a SWAT team to clear the plates then pester you every 5 mins for your next order. Order at your peril after 10.30 because, and I quote, 'The kitchen staff will not cook orders received after 10.45'. Worth complaining about? Spend your money elsewhere the Southern Hemisphere 'Assitant Manager' isn't interested and would rather you hurried up and 'order your desserts anyway'. 2 pint rating? Pint and a half!
