Paya & Horse Pub gallery

Stumbled into this place with my little one and honestly thought I’d made a mistake—pubs and toddlers don’t usually mix. But wow, was I wrong! This spot is the definition of child-friendly without sacrificing the cozy charm of a good old London pub. The staff were beyond lovely—like the kind of people who genuinely seem to enjoy being around tiny humans. Prices? In a city where you can pay £7 for a whisper of a pint, this place was refreshingly reasonable. I didn’t need to remortgage anything, which was a plus. The decor has that “grandma’s living room meets Eastern Europe meets Guinness” vibe—and I mean that in the best way possible. Loads of character, comfy chairs, and even a flower pot centerpiece that my toddler tried to claim as his own. If you’re in Battersea and want a pint, a chat, and a place where your kids are welcomed (not just tolerated), this is it. We’ll definitely be back.

Every time we visit London, we stop at this place. I remember when food was always available and it was delicious. When the food is available it is absolutely fantastic, I hope they would continue making it, however, I understand that it is a family owned and managed pub and having food available all the time is very time consuming. Nevertheless, I was told one can call in advance and pre- order food. Atmosphere is not typical sport centric pub ambient but rather an artsy, homely welcoming place to have few pints and relax. I have met the owners and find them very welcoming and protective of their clientele.

This isn't a pub, it's your home. A most delightful place offering a welcome like no other. The beer is great although, not one for the real ale drinkers. A fantastic place for love and a beer. X

What a really horrible place. The owner with a dog is rude and very unhelpful. Got 2 drinks and the heads on them are huge. Do not go to this place it's expensive and the pub is really really dirty . We sit outside because of the strange smell coming from inside the pub. Also dog hair is everywhere.. avoid this pub at all cost

Was looking for a nice and quiet place for a drink on a Sunday evening and accidentally found my new favourite pub. It's extremely traditional with a hint of homely Serbian charm. The orthodox icons on the wall and drawings of Battersea was extremely charming. Such uniqueness is hard to come by, especially in London. The staff were extremely kind and the regulars were very welcoming. Unfortunately I had to leave abruptly but I will definitely be returning next time I am in Battersea.

Visited with my boyfriend and our corgi, Arabella...from the moment we walked in, we were greeted with fantastic hospitality from Paya and Natasa, as well as their lovely dog Bella...the atmosphere was welcoming and had such a homely feel. We played several rounds of darts and had a great time chatting..see you again soon!

Very interesting place, old fashion pub full of paintings made by host. Amazing selection of authentic Serbian food and beer (Jelen!!!, i was bought after host give me a Jelen without questioning so i felt like back home in Serbia). Very delicious and tasty cevapcici and sausages. Hosts are very polite, welcoming and top of everything interesting. Ready to share some stories and show collection of antiques. Thank you Nataša and Paya, see you soon!

Don’t listen to negative reviews. Owner is a LEGEND and has a cool hat.

We visited this place during our stay in London back in 2019. I just never left a review until today. Food is great, drinks are plentiful and back then it seemed a lot of regulars were visiting the pub daily. The owners are good. The lady was fantastic, the husband can be obnoxious sometime but he is a no nonsense kid of a guy. The lady of the pub is actually an American, which of course was a plus. They were very nice to our daughters and had no problems making them food that was not on the menu. BTW if you like meat this is your place! Owners are dog lovers and their two dogs were always at the pub. They were great and friendly. They just lay on the rug and mind their own business. We were in London for 8 days and visited this pub at least once a day. Our girls loved the puppies and made sure we stopped every day. I would highly recommend this place.

Wasn't sure about this place, but liked it once through the door. looks like organised clutter inside. Pool table available. Has a stage, for live bands, but when I visited, speakers were playing some great blues music. Price of a Guinness £4.50, seemed a bit high.
