Bulgarian Restaurant and Rakia Bar '681' in Merton

A Shocking Experience at Nando’s Colliers Wood – Saturday, 8th February at 2 PM. I had a truly mind-blowing experience at Nando’s Colliers Wood when I went to collect my order with my son. As it was busy, I stood patiently at the main door, waiting for a staff member to assist me. While I waited, two gentlemen entered and stood behind me. To my shock, when an assistant came over, she completely ignored my presence and immediately addressed the two gentlemen, asking if they were dining in or collecting. I couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed. Thankfully, before they could even respond, the gentlemen pointed out that I was there before them. Yet, even after this, the assistant simply asked me if I was dining in or collecting—without offering so much as an apology. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. In this day and age, it is disheartening to see such treatment still occurring. Even if she had genuinely not noticed me, the right thing to do would have been to acknowledge her mistake with a simple, “I’m sorry, I didn’t see you.” Instead, I was left questioning whether my presence was ignored due to my chocolate skin tone—was I too dark to be noticed in broad daylight? Should I try again at night? No one should have to feel invisible or disregarded in such a manner. I truly hope Nando’s takes this feedback seriously and ensures better training for their staff, so no one else has to experience such treatment. PS:Check Staff at 2pm on Sat (Short Mid 20).

We have been going to The Lighthouse for the last 25 years and are so sad it will be closing. We booked for their final week of service and the restaurant was heaving. The innovative menu showcases both British and European dishes and our 3 course meal was as always beautifully presented and delicious. Service was excellent and staff including the chef were chatting with customers with a tinge of sadness at the closure. We even saw one lady leaving in tears! Such a shame to lose a quality independent restaurant when Wimbledon is so oversaturated with low quality eateries and chains. Thank you to all the staff for some wonderful meals over the years, wishing you all the best for the future.

Fantastic atmosphere and attentive staff, good menu too!

Ahhh the breakfast was amazing! Proper sausages and perfectly cooked eggs, couldn't fault it at all.

Went for a friends leaving do. Lots of us there and service was great. Food came in good time as did the drinks. Food was hot fresh and tasted great. Belly dancer came out later on which was fun. Hope to return.
