The Merton Apprentice

We’re a sports bar specialising in locally brewed craft beers both in bottles and on draught. We have two hand pumps for our real ale and cider plus several beers dispensed via ‘key-keg’. We also have a choice of high-quality lagers and ‘fizzy’ ciders, a selection of wines and soft drinks.

Our name is a nod to the designer John Henry Dearle, who has been described as the ‘Morris Apprentice’. In 1905 he became the Artistic Director for Morris & Co whose works stood on what is now Sainsbury’s, Colliers Wood. The Morris works and the Arthur Liberty works, where our bar is located, were at the forefront of production in the Arts and Crafts movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
