Big Chill House in Islington

Nothing special at this venue. Pricing a little on the high side. Service could have been better. Probably won’t be back.

Lovely place, staff that deserve a review: **Ethan – amazing bartender Ethan is the top of what you want in a bartender. His knowledge of drinks is boooom, and he has a knack for crafting cocktails that are not just drinks but experiences in a glass. He’s quick, efficient, and always knows exactly what you need, often before you even realize it yourself. Ethan’s attention to customer ensures that every drink is perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and exactly to your liking. His passion make your day!! **Wahjahka – The Vibe. Wahjahka is the heart and soul of the atmosphere. They have an incredible talent for reading the room and setting the perfect tone. He makes us feel like at home

Been with friends, Ethan the bartender has been amazing. He recognised me after multiple drinks and knew exactly what I wanted

What a find this place was? In London on my own for some meetings, having to stay overnight. Saw this place, walking into the office in the morning, thought it looked good, so I went back for an evening meal. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff, incredible food, great prices. Wish I was staying tomorrow night, I'd go back agaon. What more can you ask for.

Had our christmas party in here! drinks were amazing and food was lovely! everyone was so nice! shoutout to jeremiah and ben!!!!

My boyfriend and I went to this bar on Saturday night for drinks and I paid £24.50 for 2 Gin&T. Just after a sip I realised that my phone is missing and O left it at another bar we went before. My boyfriend ran to the place to get my phone but he was refused the entry on his return. The guards were very rude with him and pushing him. None of us was drunk or misbehaving to be treated like that. We were it informed about the re-entry not allowed policy and my boyfriend wouldn’t have gone out if my phone wasn’t missing. This was a genuine problem and the manager should have helped us to resolve if the guards couldn’t but the manager also asked me to leave, refused to refund for the drinks I paid for or let me take the drinks out in plastic glasses. In the end one of the guards pushed me out of the place. Please don’t give business to this place. They are rude and unfair. I will warn all my friends to not go. They take advantage of the re-entry policy to rip off people. Beware!

Amazing service great atmosphere food was good and nice selection of drinks highly recommended will defo book again! Staff were lovely

So BEWARE they charge you an automatic gratuity on weekends and holidays even if it is just 1 or 2 people. And then they give you the legend of what you should tip them. So your tipping them on their tip. Just fyi. We will not be going back on any weekend or holiday e er again!!!!! A little dissatisfied because I used to like them.

I went to the Big Chill at King's Cross for dinner with my sister. Staff were friendly and helpful when ordering drinks, food and asking about the menu and when the kitchen would be open. Loads of tables/chairs so able to find seats easily. The music was a bit on the loud side and you had to shout if you wanted to have a conversation. The reason for the low rating is because of the number of fragments of bone I encountered when eating my Devil's Bacon Burger - 10 fragments to be precise. This does prompt numerous questions regarding the quality of the meat and/or the preparation of it. The photos I've attached speak for themselves - I would avoid the burgers unless you have an all inclusive dental plan in place before your visit.

Great atmosphere for a bottomless brunch with friends! One of my favourites in London - the staff were super fun and drinks always flowing 🍹

Through the TagVenue booking system, I was recommend to hire the 'The Hide' for a surprise birthday party for 25-30 people. Firstly, The Hide is too small to accommodate this number of people so it should not be recommended by staff. Secondly, the security staff were extremely rude to our party. They refused entry to a 19 year old guest (the brother of the birthday boy) despite them being accompanied by their parents. I was told it was my fault for not reading the booking terms and conditions. I showed the booking terms and conditions, it said nothing about an age policy. The security staff then got the manager who was very kind and accommodating and allowed the 19 year old to enter. However, due to the issues with security, we had to tell the birthday boy about the surprise as it took ~30 minutes to sort out. The situation was distressing for the 19 year old and it ruined a month of planning - I would not recommend this venue for important events.

We popped into the big chill as we seen how good there deals were. Food was absolutely amazing. My partner had a burger and I had the chicken strips they both were 10/10. Cocktails were also lovely we really enjoyed eating with a cocktail on there lovely upstairs outside terrace. Was lovely way to end our trip to London before heading to King's Cross for our train home.

We dropped into this place after seeing they had a £10 lunch deal, and we were not disappointed! It included any burger from the menu, chips and a drink. I had the cheese burger which was very tasty and high quality, but the fries were the real star of the show here. I don't know what seasoning they use on the chips but the flavour was unreal. Friendly staff and a chilled vibe, love it!

I pre-booked an area for my work colleagues. The process was really straight forward and the staff were super helpful with sending menus over. I pre-ordered drinks and food due to the large quantity. The drinks were ready & chilled when i arrived. The staff were super friendly and attentive and gave me regular updates, regarding the food. We had the table booked until the end but went to an Escape Room in-between. When asking about the drinks being left they said they would hold our space for us. We had some chips for on the go to the escape room too which was really appreciated. When coming back, our drinks were still available and the food had just been brought out which was great timing. The food was super tasty! Really great bar, has a DJ and music playing too. Thank you again to the staff, we had a great time!

Amazing energy and positive energy from the staff members, especially Denver behind the bar! She served us drinks in great timing and even with an extremely busy bar, she was so friendly and connected with me and my friend which made us feel seen in a big sea of customers! 😊 Even before my friend and I got in, we had a lovely interaction with the security and they were so friendly and went the extra mile to make sure that we were happy and in good spirits. Always look forward to coming to The Big Chill for the easy atmosphere, great music from the DJ and great dance floor! Special mention to the staff who were so swift with cleaning up a couple of broken glasses from the dance floor so quickly which shows care for the customers so as to not get hurt with bits of glass or wet floors! Thanks to everyone there for a great night! See you all again soon! Xx

We went to Big Chill for a colleague’s leaving drinks on Wednesday 10th August. Downstairs staff were great, and were accommodating when we moved up to the roof terrace to get the sun. Once we were up there, there was a bartender on upstairs bar who couldn’t have been more dismissive or rude - for no reason at all. She got angry because I wanted to order food but couldn’t remember the table number. I asked if I could have a margarita and her response was “no, go downstairs”. Continually sighing and huffing at anything. We definitely won’t be coming back just for that one reason….we wouldn’t like to encounter her again!

Has a fabulous afternoon on the rooftop terrace, enjoying the bottomless prosecco brunch...Flora and Diana were the most attentive waitresses, barely had a sip, before the glass was topped up again. Food was good ( has the Mexican skillet), would definitely visit again. Thank you

Best service ever at a bottomless brunch! Drinks were never empty courtesy of Diana and Flora. Always pleasant and smiling, nothing too much trouble. Food good and brought out promptly. My only gripe? Uncomfortable seats, a seat pad would have made all the difference. Thank you!

Booked for a birthday. Was advised roof terrace no bookings taken on a Saturday but tables available on a first come first serve bases . Booked a table inside instead . On arrival asked if Terrace was available . Then to be told not till after 5pm as bottom less brunch served . Was not advised of this at all in booking and emails shown confirmed this . Manager agreed misunderstanding so bottle of bubbles given . All ok until try to order food , then advised only menu was brunch menu . Again no where on website does it state this . Manager said it did and was rude about it . Have checked and it doesn’t . Friend tried to get a bottle of champagne . They had sold out but then tried to push Prosecco for inflated price . Very disappointing - attitude of manager was shocking . Rolling eyes at people . We were not alone on speaking to people . Please don’t waste your money here . Rude manager and poor service .

Dans l'ensemble très bonne expérience : une ambiance feutrée et cosy, de bons cocktails bien servis, un personnel sympa, et...

We had a bottomless on Saturday the 25th of June and Diane served us. She was the BEST., out drinks were never empty, constantly filling up our drinks and just made it the best night! Diane is truly the best! Thank you. !!!!

Great atmosphere friendly and very helpful staff. food was delicious. Been there before Sarah looked after us very well. She is the reason we came back she made it a very lovely experience

I had been to the Big Chill a few times for drinks and food and always found it to have a really great atmosphere, really polite and helpful staff and was never disappointed and so it seemed like a no brainier to host my 40th...

Amazing service and a great atmosphere!! Food was also so good and Dianna our server made it such a great experience celebrating my friends birthday! All servers made sure you always had a full glass of drink- very worth the money. Will definitely be back!!

Had an amazing time at Big Chill Bottomless Brunch, drink was topped up before I had even finished. Waitress Diana was so friendly and attentive 10/10 service! Would 100% recommend.

Had such an amazing brunch here! The food was amazing, but nothing compared to the hospitality we received from Dianna. Thanks for making our experience so enjoyable!

Bottomless brunch - slow service, regimented time for drinks despite 2/6 of our party not being brought first drink for twenty mins at the start. Eyelash in coffee, food exceptionally overpriced with small portions and chips costing extra. Staff were lovely in terms of being...

I've been here a couple of times and the drink service is very very slow, but the vibe is very very good. Always fun and the bouncers are nice and accommodating. Went for a friend's birthday - she had a great time.

4 of us visited the place for my birthday weekend. The staff was very kind and polite. Great and quick service, good communication. Also staff was topping up our drinks consistently. They helped us keep our suitcases in the cloakroom out of the way. Lastly,...

Food was amazing and bottomless brunch fantastic - drinks never got more than half empty before being topped up - cocktails themselves were fab too! Our waitress Diana was lovely too and was super attentive with our table and made us all feel really looked...

Diana is the best waitress, if I could get her number I would! Always attentive, constantly making sure we were covered for drinks, food and water 11/10

Poor service, awful attitude from staff and food is mediocre. Not worth the money. Do not recommend.

My friend was subjected to racism by other customers and the management proceeded to disregard my complaint and told me friend to “calm down”. It’s extremely triggering to be subjected to racism and to be simply told to “calm down”. The same member of staff...

I really love coming to this bar! I can honestly say that the staff are so lovely and friendly and the music is very lively! I came with my friend which was the first time we’ve been out after the restrictions eased and it was...

Visited for a bottomless brunch and was blown away by the service! Lovely atmosphere on the rooftop, great food and delicious drinks but what made this brunch stand out from others has to be the service. Huge shoutout to Nabila who made sure we were...

Our big group visit to the rooftop was perfect -- recommended! Couldn't improve on the food, location or service. Special shout-out to Brendon and all the other waiters who served us with tireless patience and panache.

Honestly fantastic service, accidentally booked table instead of rooftop for my birthday and they were so understanding and accommodating!!! Definitely recommend!!! Adelaide was a star server as well!!!

My friend and I booked a table for the terrace. Greeted fine and was directed to upstairs but the atmosphere soon changed. Our table was in a sun trap which became quite unbearable. As there were so many spare tables around, I asked if we...

Really great service and the atmosphere was perfect we really enjoyed our time and would definitely recommended going.

Great rooftop terrace setting. Bottomless drinks are well priced at £25 for 1.5hrs (at the time of posting). It was a walking in booking and we were accomodated by the staff. Our table service was given by Leah who was very attentive and made our...

Bridie!! The nights superstar was a pleasure to be around and be served by. Kevin&Gary also steering the ship well!! Brilliant atmosphere! Can’t wait to come back. Legends!!! 10/10

Would like to thank the big chill team last night for making me and my team feel so warm and welcoming. To accommodate me on such a busy night and still find time to make sure they we’re all okay goes along way. Thank you...

The service at Big Chill was absolutely perfect, Gage made our visit so seamless. He made sure our glasses were full and was so friendly. A credit to the Big Chill team!!! I had such a good time with my friends. The food was really...

I don’t think to visit Big Chill again. Today we went for a brunch at noon! In the door, the waitress asked us if we have a reservation, when the place was completely empty and so many unnecessary questions. Then she just sat us in...

Service at the Big Chill was AMAZING! Food was DELICIOUS! Atmosphere was FAB and the decor was LUSH! Great selection of food and drinks and they kept your glass topped up like no other bottomless brunch I have been too! Would recommend 100%!

The best service from this guy, thanks! Food was great, service was on top, rooftop bar had good vibes

Atilla was amazing. Great seevice, prompt, friendly and efficent. We got a nice table on the rooftop and felt extremely safe. All food orders were great. Highly recommended!

Came here on a Saturday lunchtime, on a very hot day recently. I've always had a soft spot for this place and its Shoreditch sibling, but mainly in a late night way. This time, we arrived at 1.30pm and ordered food. My expectations weren't high,...

We got here at about 4ish and stayed for a bottle of wine up on the rooftop terrace. I wasn't too busy which was nice due to the odd time. The wine was nice but a little bit on the steep side, and our table...

Lush place to grab a few drinks, hadn’t tried the food but would love to go back and try! Great atmosphere, nice rooftop area for a hot day and friendly staff :)

Table of 20 of us, fast service and tasty food. Able to switch between drinks which is good. Slightly rude when we were trying to sort out the payment which is the only reason it's 4* not 5*

Went to Big Chill in Kings Cross past Saturday and had a great time. Food was great and drinks were non stop ! Great value for money and very friendly staff.

No había estado en Big Chill por un tiempo y me sorprendió gratamente ver que habían tenido un poco de renovación y un nuevo menú vegano. Siempre ha sido vegetariano, pero ahora tiene una buena variedad de sabrosas opciones veganasLa renovación le da una sensación de bar lounge más relajante y las opciones veganas eran deliciosas. Personalmente puedo responder por las bolas de queso y queso (no veganas), papas fritas cargadas, alas de coliflor y la hamburguesa El Chanco. . . Para aquellos que no les gusta convencer a los sustitutos de la carne, es posible que desee echar de menos esta hamburguesa en particular.Lo que también me gustó mucho de este lugar fue que vi a muchas mujeres allí. Tomar un café mientras espera (años) a amigos o simplemente volar solo. . . Fue muy refrescante.Soy un poco exigente con respecto a la limpieza del inodoro y estas (las mujeres), fueron excelentes

Thank you Arron, Sara and the rest of the team for looking after us last Sunday. The team had fun and service was great. See you guys next time...

Atmosphere at the venue was great. Big chill - it is the right name for the venue. All the staff accommodating, helpful! Food was amazing! I would definitely consider booking the venue again some time ;)

Would not recommend at all, had to chase them to give us a drink. The staff were so unhelpful and it was not good value for money. Would go elsewhere for boozy brunch.

So being a Londoner and enjoying a tipple, I’de like to say I’m quite the boozy brunch connoisseur! I’ve been to a few!...and I have to say the Big Chill brunch is the worse I have experienced...firstly a few of our rather large party were delayed and we were told that our bottomless 90minutes had started from the booking time meaning a few of our friends had lost out on a Prosecco or two (even though the grace period for delay was 15 minutes apparently!)...then the topping up...slow and painful...15 minutes to get a drink! To have to ask the staff for a drink when the entire table had empty glasses...poor and extremely frustrating...I have never had this at a bottomless brunch before! Also one of our friends was also told that he had downed a drink and he would not be getting another one (please note this was a 15 stone male who can handle quite a large level of drink)...we had not made a scene, been loud or rowdy...so they had absolutely no reason to deny someone a drink. Quite honestly this really dampened the mood for the remainder of the brunch....Overall we paid £43 for merely a burger...a couple of drinks and the embarrassment of a friend! I would not recommend this brunch AT ALL....in London there are plenty of brunches with better value for money and an overall better experience!

We came here on Saturday for boozy brunch. We like brunching and have been to a number of boozy brunch places in London. We read good reviews of this place and we decided to check it out. Unlimited booze for an half and a half for £25 should be exactly that, but here we had to constantly get the waitresses’s attention to have our drinks refilled. They should assign one waitress who’s job is just refilling drinks and have all the cocktails ready to go so you’re just churning them out. Instead a lot of our table were having to wait for 10-15 mins to have the ice tea/passion fruit sprite refilled... in that sense it’s not bottomless brunch is it for an hour and a half? Really disappointing. We all enjoyed the food but will not come back for brunch. Plenty of other good places in London - check out the Sea Containers. They know how to do a boozy brunch.

Alled in here for a couple of drinks on way to Kings Cross. This area has much improved over recent years and The Big Chill is a welcome addition to the area. A stylish and classy pub with a decent menu and special offers at lunch time. Prices good for Central London. There is a small roof terrace which must be great in the summer months. Their apple and ginger mojito is FAB ! Efficient and friendly service.

Si vas a ser astuto como un zorro presuntuoso, debes servir una buena selección de cerveza. En el papel había bastantes opciones, pero una gran proporción del borrador de selección estaba desactivado y, en retrospectiva, debería haber estado desactivado. Un pie fuera de la puerta y otro en una piel de plátano antes de que incluso acercáramos una silla.Al visitar al conquistador numero uno, redujimos algunas tintas de Camden y el Jubel fue agradable pero con un precio proverbial.La música era muy ruidosa y se decía un montón de viejas pero verdaderas. No soy fanático de la música genérica como el rap y otras cosas, aunque el lugar tenía potencial para nosotros, fue 45 minutos Uber y fuera.Big Chill, eres más común en Clapham que los delirios y la grandeza que crees que eres.

Visité Londres durante los últimos días y encontré un gran frío cerca de nuestro albergue. Decidí venir aquí para el brunch. La mujer que nos sirvió fue muy grosera. Creo que ella era europea? Ella puso los ojos en blanco y realmente comenzó a retroceder. Me sentí muy infeliz por esta experiencia. Yo no vendría aquí. La comida estaba bien.

We actually enjoyed it here, we are in our 50's and it is mostly younger peeps that visit here. We did not feel out of place, the vibe and atmosphere was great, loved watching the young ones enjoy themselves, we certainly enjoyed it here.

Was one of the best burgers ever tasted, i would recommend this to everyone, also because it’s quite cheap

Personal de puerta agresivo, no tengo idea de por qué. Buen DJ aunque toca Hip Hop de la vieja escuela y personal amable del bar.

Fantastic food, drinks and service. We had the bottomless brunch and really made the most of it. We were never left chasing up a waiter for a top up they were always around checking we was ok. We had the chicken waffle and chicken burger, both were amazing. Our waitress Adelaide was fantastic and gave us some good recommendations for what to do for the rest of our day.

Me and my family came here for a girls brunch to celebrate my mother's victory over cancer. The food was absolutely delicious and service was fabulous. Drinks on the bottomless option were topped up as soon as you asked no problems! We all loved our meals and were very statisfied!

I went with a group of friends on a Saturday and had booked bottomless brunch. Great menu - wide choice and really delicious food. The staff were keen to top up our drinks and there was a choice of cocktails and prosecco too. The venue was nice, we didn't go on the roof terrace because of the weather but I imagine that would have been good. My only criticism is the staff were a bit quick to clear plates away which annoys me.

As a group that love to brunch we saw this place on instagram and had to check it out.

Okay so yes the place is quirky but it's also grotty and in need of a really good scrub.

Disgustingly rude staff (manager!) behind the bar, being aggressive towards my friend when ordering a drink. Threw a drink of water and ice in her face and said she must be dehydrated for asking a simple question.

really great night in big chill for a friend's birthday last saturday bartenders all really friendly even though they were working really hard. will definitely be coming back.

Piatti molto gustosi in ambiente American style per un pasto sfizioso e informale neo pressi di King’s Cross

Do not go here! The place is smaller then it looks from pictures and bar staff are so rude and disrespectful. I ordered three jäger bombs for me and two friends and the bar staff refused to serve me unless I had a glass of water. I had just arrived and only had one beer before. I have never in my life been to a bar where they have told you to drink water before ordering a drink, especially when your not even a slightest bit drunk. The bar staff look like they don’t even know what there doing either, taking orders and forgetting them, serving people the wrong drinks, it’s a joke. I was clearly not the only person who felt like this as I saw other groups complaining as well. Don’t go here if you don’t want your day ruined!

I saw a video advertising Big Chill bottomless brunch on Facebook, with unlimited espresso martinis and pornstar martinis in cafetieres.

i would recommend their cocktails. I had no less than 3. Food nice and prices ok. Can't wait to be back

Perfect rooftop bar—lots of space and great location. If you get peckish their burgers are great too!

As someone who has lived in Dubai for a few years, I was so pleased to be taken to a place in the UK where 'Brunch' is done well.

Visitamos con un amigo el sábado y los dos estábamos realmente impresionados. El brunch se lleva a cabo en una habitación en la planta superior, que es preciosa, luminosa y está decorada de forma agradable. Había un dj tocando algunas grandes melodías. El personal era extremadamente atento y nuestras gafas estaban constantemente llenas. Puede elegir entre un spritz de fruta de la pasión, prosecco o chulo de su espresso martini. Un montón de opciones de comida para elegir y recomendaría los huevos Benedict ya que viene con vientre de cerdo asado que estaba delicioso! Definitivamente regresaría de nuevo!

The little terrace is OK, friendly, chill...the view is poor though. Gin and Tonic perfect, but I order onion rings and were the worst onion rings that I could eat ever. Plenty of oil, poor presentation, definetely not recommendable.

I can we here for a works team building do but it was quite noisy and not suited to that type of event. The place seems quite large

Came here for my Birthday with a few of my girls. Really nice staff and I was able to book a table free of charge a few days prior to the event as it gets quite busy from 6pm on wards. Have already spoke about returning. The music that night was 90's & 00's. We're all 90's babies so it was perfect for us.

Nuestro grupo lo pasamos genial!

Cerveza fría encantadora, un ambiente abierto y amigable para todos. . estudiantes, turistas, lgbt. . . Dejé mi mochila y la ordenaron al día siguiente, devolviéndola a más de 250 millas de distancia. No puedo agradecerles lo suficiente. Servicio de calidad y bebidas, un buen ambiente y no tan caro como otros bares. Bien vale la pena un viaje.

Great atmosphere, fabulous friendly staff and brilliant selection of cocktails. Well worth a visit if you’re Kings Cross way.

I went to the bar with my friend and just had a few drinks. She got tired so I went back with her to our flat, and decided to go back out about THREE HOURS later with someone else. I get to big chill and they recognize me and won’t let me in because I was there before?? I was willing to pay a new cover and everything. Never in my life have I heard a BS policy like this. Awful music, awful crowd, awful drinks, and awful staff. Simmons down the street is a much better atmosphere, and much better staff that actually know what they’re doing. Take it from another bartender- do better.

Soy un gran fanático de las hamburguesas y siempre pruebo diferentes lugares cuando salgo. En los últimos 10 años, muchas cadenas populares han aparecido ofreciendo hamburguesas muy promedio a precios no tan altos. Cuando salí con unos amigos a tomar unas copas a Big Chill el viernes pasado, decidí probar la hamburguesa. Tuve la hamburguesa con queso con tocino y fue la mejor hamburguesa que he comido. Parecía una hamburguesa adecuada y sabía jugosa. Estoy decidido a volver. Hamburguesa increíble aunque podría haber sido más grande.
