Burger Shack is all about chin-dribblin' burgers and bun times. We're talking burgers made with only the best British beef and cooked to perfection, expertly matched cheese on top and bacon sourced from some of the best farms in the country. Don't get the wrong idea, we're not all meat - 50% of our menu is plant-based, ensuring nobody misses out on the revolution.

Our beer garden has been the talk of the town this summer! With the weather changing we'll be reinstalling our stretch tent to keep you warm and dry, whilst you enjoy al fresco drinks and dining. It's the place to be, with our new huts ready to be reserved and a decking with hanging vines whisking you away to the ideal spot of tranquility and plenty of space for all.
From social gatherings such as birthdays and christenings, to private dining, weddings and business meetings, we offer a fantastic range of adaptable spaces to suit all needs. We're observing current government guidelines and are operating with a lowered capacity as a result. As this is a fluctuating situation please don't hesitate to get in touch about future parties and events and we will do our very best to accommodate your wishes.

The staff were very friendly, the service was great, and the pub is beautiful. unfortunately that was it. we went for the burns night. the prices for the set menu were way on the high side considering how small the dishes were, and the menu itself was quite poor, unfortunately it was the only thing that had any haggis on offer that night in the area. i've never understood why pubs advertise for burns night and dont just have haggis as a main dish on the menu. my girlfriend is pregnant, so she has been advised to not eat haggis (even if the amount of haggis was only about a tablespoon worth) so

Fantastic pub with as the name suggests an out of London county feel. Huge space with a large front area near the bar, a second seating area with fireplace, and out the back a more formal dining room. Plus, huge heated outdoor seating space. Inside is a lovely fitout with the service excellent when I visited in January 2022.

My experience in The County Arms was exceptional. Certainly my favourite meal I’ve had in a long time, and beyond amazing service. The staff are all extremely friendly and were constantly at hand to offer assistance or recommendations with food and drink and also I noticed that they were never stood still behind the bar. They were constantly wiping the sides or clearing glasses etc.
I spoke to one of the staff members who was particularly helpful who was the assistant manager called Jazz. She made me and my friends have the best night by being super helpful and quick behind the bar making us

FABULOUS venue for a wedding reception.
For our daughter’s wedding reception, the room was set up and decorated just as requested. Food was hot, fabulously presented, tasty and delivered to 60+ guests smoothly and efficiently. I cannot praise the staff highly enough. They were friendly; just top class. The inside area was spacious, with bi-fold doors which were opened for outside sitting/dancing which were closed when needed, for the speeches. Many thanks to the staff for making it such a memorable occasion.

Wow! I made a booking today as the County Arms is a local, convenient for our plans and we had vouchers, but I had no idea I would have such a wonderful afternoon.
The food was incredible, this is definitely not your average pub food. The delightful and helpful Rebecca informed us that they have a new Italian chef. The menu had definite Italian influences but is peppered with multicultural flavours.
I had the truffle risotto which blew me away! Followed by
Porchetta pork which was fatty but fresh!The balance was perfect.
My hubs had tuna ceviche and Asian

Fantastic experience here. Great variety of food with the kitchen and the burger shack giving lots of options. Lite and fresh summer menu with everything we had being delicious. Exceptional range of drinks. All capped off with friendly, engaging and quick service. Really looking forward to returning soon.

I have been regularly been using this pub for 30!years and have just had the worst roast lunch I have ever had, had to send it back once and the second attempt wasn't much better appalling quality of lamb and beef and wish I had spent the money on a home cooked roast instead, the manager is absolutely arrogant and shouldn't be working in the hospitality business. Overall a terrible experience and after all these years I will not frequent this establishment again. Oh and it's not been the first time.

Very torn by this place. The Beer Garden was amazing on a rare sunny London day and the wait staff was very nice. The ambiance inside the bar was also great with comfy couches and a lot of natural light. However, the food itself was lackluster. Had a squash salad, the greens were clearly not fresh, the salad had no dressing and it was basically just a few bits of onions, squash, and cheese. At 10 quid it definitely felt like you were paying purely for the ambiance.

This place has a proper beer garden which I cannot wait to try out when the weather is warmer! There are a lot of tables, lots of plants and generally a nice place to be!
Inside, the decoration and style is great. It's a big pub but manages to stay cosy at the same time.
Haven't tried the food but heard from a friend that it was okay. As well as their pub food, they also do Sunday Roasts.
Drinks prices are average for London. We went in on a week night and we were easily able to find a table and enjoy a conversation. I really liked it in here so will be back for drinks!

The garden. Oh, the garden. It's the most beautifully patio-tastic place to sit and have a drink on a sunny day! Absolutely gobs of seating, lots of big umbrellas to provide a bit of shade, plants everywhere, and attentive service. Located just across from Wandsworth Common as it is, The County Arms is a gem!

I haven't been there for a while.
They have decorated the place and changed some furniture. It looks good.
There is a section at the back. My friend booked it for her leaving due. Usually other pubs will charge you or ask you for a minimum spend. Here, they just asked you for a deposit.
I like the food. Great burgers and lovely hand cut chips.
It's kids friendly. The room at the back has got fake grass. Ideal for toddlers. My little girl has done her first steps there 2 days ago!

Haven't been here for a while and boy, has it changed. Used to be a regular, but moved away. Went back recently and it has transformed into a super cool place with a serious kitchen. At least I think it's a serious kitchen. The menu looks great and saw some food going out that looked excellent, but when I tried to order, they told me that the kitchen was now closed. Why? Was I too late? Nope, it was only 7pm. Turns out, they clean the kitchen on Sunday nights at 7 so it's closed. What the...!!!! You don't close the damn kitchen on a Sunday evening to clean it, you

Popped in here for a quick pint yesterday afternoon and was very taken with it. The interior is very nicely decorated (muted greens, oak panels etc.) and very spacious. The sort of place that you murmer approval of before you realise you're doing so.
It's a tied house (to Youngs) and so stocks a wide range of their products, both hand pulled and bottled, but also seems to have the freedom to offer guest ales as well (Deuchars IPA is appearing soon apparently). The wines available all looked to be of very high quality too.
I quick glance at the Specials board was enough to make me

Love it!
My new local pub couldn't be more gorgeous.
A big old pub, it is multi-level, with a stunning modern-asian-inspired dining room, front main lounge, function room, beer garden and street seating. Recently refurbed. Black leather lounges, deep red and dark wood interior and a gorgeous, gorgeous bar. We found ourselves wishing that this was our home!
Situated right on Wandsworth Common, you could spend your afternoon lazing on the green or in the beer garden, and cross the road to adjourn to the pub lounge.
Specials board is impressive and inventive. Try Lamb rolled in lavender; Duck

This is a spacious, welcoming and relaxing pub, popular with locals, with a large beer garden that's great in the summer. It used to be a total dive, but it's been transformed into a nicely decorated space, with tea lights on the tables and seagrass on the floor. It's even got a Moroccan boudoir at the back where my husband and I enjoyed a very romantic night on Valentine's Day! The food is mostly good, although it's been a bit hit and miss on a couple of occasions. I recall an evening where we had to send the fish pie back because it was still cold! Having said that though
