Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Asparagus (JD Wetherspoon)

It was a morning start for me yesterday at this branch of Wetherspoon's in Battersea.

The interior is fairly typical 'spoon's, spread over different levels and with plenty of carpet.

At the bar, the usuals Greene King Abbot & Ruddles Best were on. Although, one Abbot clip was turned round and the remaining one may well have been a red herring. Two guests were Twickenham Naked Ladies & Exmoor Exmas.

However, I was more drawn to the ciders - Mr Whitehead's Toffee Apple Cider & Weston's Old Rosie. I hadn't seen any Mr Whitehead's for a while, so plumped for a pint of this.

Service was good, despite them being a little short-handed.

Having caught the bus here from Sloane Square and along the King's Road and having been amongst the London rich, it was quite a contrast stepping into this pub and drinking amongst a much more working class customer base. A few upmarket punters were scattered around, but customers were mostly builder types or general local layabouts!

Toilets are upstairs, whilst a lone TV was on in one corner. Not sure what it was showing, but probably something to do with Covid. Nobody seemed interested.

Pretty standard but seems well cared for Wetherspoons

A fairly standard Spoons', 5 minutes from Clapham Junction. One large rectangular room, divided up with wooden partitions into separate areas. Despite fairly low ceilings, it keeps a bright feel due to full height glazing all round, with an art nouveau sort of feel. There is a small patio garden to the side. Ales at time of visit included local Sambrook's plus 4 or 5 guest ales from further afield as well as the usual.
