Came here today for breakfast⌠I have to say read the reviews! I didnât and I was a bit disappointed with this place, Iâve been here years ago but I believe this place has gone past its expiry date. The food was really basic and not cooked properly, bread was stale and not fresh. The tea was about the only good thing here. The cost of this was a joke too! Better to use other cafes in the area which provide a good service and also quality food. The waitress who served us was nice but found it weird she already billed us a left the receipt to pay before we even got served our food. I wouldnât recommend coming here unless things change drastically!

Been coming here for a while now, normally on a Sunday. My last three visits have bee a little less than acceptable. I tend to order the breakfast/brunch and ask them to cook some of the items well done. The black pudding is never cooked enough and cut too thick, as with the egg is way too under cooked. I have continually asked them to cook the black pudding fully but it's either ignored by the cook, or the waitress didn't bother to ask. Yesterday was the 3rd sunday on the trot it came to me uncooked. This was enough for me. I didn't even have one mouthful or even a sip of coffee, I just got up and left. No discussion, no complaining, no explanation, just up and out the door without saying a word. I refuse to pay for uncooked food If they cannot even get a simple thing like this right, then I cannot give them my business.

This is a small local cafe in South Harrow. The service is friendly and the food is generally OK. Good cooked breakfasts and lots of variation on the menu. The cafe is almost bang up against a local school so breakfast, lunch on school days are busy with kids coming in fir take-aways. Choose a time outside of these and you should be able to sit down to a civilised quiet meal on your own or with others.

This is basically one of the last of the traditional British cafes. For the price you pay the food is pretty good, the service fine, I've been twice recently for brunch and it is always very busy.

I've been using this cafe for quite a few years, the service and the food had always been a delight; however, over the past 18 months the service has slowly deteriorated to waiting for 15 mins before being served after being by-passed even after asking twice if I could be served - 2 other were served before me. The waiting staff are killing this once 5 star cafe. There use to be just 2 people serving and they were on point, (haven't seen one since it was obvious she was pregnant). Today I heard 3 other people complaining about the lack of service. There are so many people working at the kitchen end, sitting on their backsides when they could be helping. It wasn't busy when I was there so there is no excuse. Management, get your act together, train your staff or, get new staff.

Terrible cafe , very dirty and unhygienic they wipe the table with a dirty cloth then put it plates. The toilets are always dirty you can smell them a mile away. The staff are rude and smoke fags and then go in and donât wash hands and handle food. Disgusting. The food is rank as well. Got food poisoning from the dirty kitchen and food prep area. All illegal immigrants working there as well.

Some of the reviews below do make me laugh, commenting on the quality when they're paying ÂŁ5-7 for a main dish - it's Cafe, not Gordon bleeding Ramsey! What it is, is is a top notch greasy spoon and some. Great selection of dishes, all the classics - burger and chips, lamp chops chips and peas, various roasts and the like - it is what it is. It has a loyal following, young and old all eat there and all are welcome - definitely worth a visit, just leave your airs and graces at the door.

Asked for the sausage to be cooked well done, it wasn't, this was ready in under 2 minutes from ordering, disappointing that whoever's duite it is to prepare these rolls are careless with the sauce and make it messy and soggy to eat, don't get excited by the hp and Heinz branded sauces on the tables, thats not what will be used in the sandwich/roll they have the cheap and nasty sauces for that, would much rather they put up there price and make more of an effort to not only constructing food but following preferences to thoses orders accordingly, cheap but not cheerful

Went here with family for lunch today and the staff were abserloutely amazing! They were so lovely and welcoming! I had a jacket potato with cheese and beans and a salad. I thought the jacket potato was massive at first but it was a good portion. (Well for me anyway as I do like my food) The food here was reasonable. (Just under ÂŁ20 for 4 meals - 3 adult meals and a child meal) the omelets (ham on its own and ham and cheese) there were nice as well as the jacket potato. The chicken nuggets were also good. The chips were piping hot (personally hot is better than cold). I would love to go back and definitely recommend this place! âĽď¸

This is not so much a takeaway as a sit down and have a cheap nutritious meal for the remarkable number of people in Lewisham who are poorly off, ill or with a disability. Not everyone who goes is ill but I'd say the extremely sympathetic and patient proprietor is so helpful and talks to everyone it is a quite charming experience that everyone feels looked after.

Been going to the chefs treat on and off for years , used to be my dear departed mothers favourite eating place , however had dinner in there yesterday , very dissapointed , the food was very greasy , the unhygienic behaviour from the many chefs and helpers behind the counter , with the head scratching and didnt notice much handwashing when handling food consequently has left me suffering with a stomach upset , which im feeling to report wasnt feeling ill until the evening and it was the only meal id eaten all day ..wont be eating in there again

I used to like this place but not so much now. The chef used to make poached eggs the proper way but now he appears to use some gadget and they arrive looking like plastic. The cutlery knives are blunt so you end up hacking at your food and competent service is patchy. It is locaywd right next to two schools so try to avoid at certain times.

Traditional family-run caff/diner, with extensive traditional menu of filling staples like shepherd's pie and roast chicken. It is absolutely rammed at lunchtime, and even does table bookings. The real bargain is a massive crispy grilled salmon steak with boiled veg for about ÂŁ5, that sets you up for the rest of the day. Friendly waiter service, cheap prices, and nostalgic desserts like banana split complete the bliss. Clientele are the people that make Lewisham great: solid elderly folk, big fierce mums and workmen.

I have on occasions been here for breakfast which has been good, Big portions and all very tasty. I only come to Lewisham for the fruit and veg market , today had my car serviced and stop for lunch, ordered steak pie with 4 veg. IT arrived swimming in water ,peas ,carrots boiled potatoes, overcooked and cabbage which I think they started cooking the day before. it would have been better to have only one vegetable cooked well then 4 badly. Will stick to their breakfasts in future.

This place has the appearance at first of being just a greasy-spoon cafe, but it really is much more than that. It's one of a dying breed of traditional low-cost independent restaurants which used to exist on every high street, where people without much money can go and have a cheap but good cooked meal. They are still common on the continent, but ours have largely been replaced with takeaways and coffee shop chains.They actually have a huge lunch menu, at rock-bottom prices, as well as a good cheap cooked breakfast . I love the fact that they still have waiter service (rather than the 'pay before you eat' cafe-style set up) and that the waiters wear matching uniforms, which is one of the things that gives it a real restaurant feel. The place is always full and bustling, and the waiters appear to know all the customers which is nice.If you are in the area of Lewisham high street you really should drop in.
