Donnelly's Restaurant in Southwark

We hadn't booked and although busy they made room we felt welcome excellent service great food, a bit noisy but great atmosphere

Nice food, but terrible service. In fact, non-existent service. We would have liked to have been offered more wine, maybe a dessert. But the waiting staff were seated at the other side of the almost empty lunchtime restaurant, and they completely ignored us. I had to go to them to ask for coffees. Took two hours to have one course and a coffee.

A great find in central London! Always so accommodating and delicious food. Great to come for dinner at Donnelley's and then head outside to the beer garden after to carry on the night with a few drinks. The jerk chicken and burrata are 10/10!! Always a favourite to revisit with friends.

To be absolutely honest that was one of the worst burgers I had in my life. Period. Horrendously burned chicken which I regret to eat and not listening to my instincts when I saw it coming costing me a trigered allergy reaction and uncomfortable night of stomach pain and ingestion issue. What a nightmare regretful companion to see a friend and nice chat. In my mind or taste this place should not have a restaurant name next to it's brand as serving food of this quality should really be forbidden. ps. If anyone from management of this restaurant is reading this you literally are causing harm serving food. For a beer maybe consider if no other options around, but for a food reason find other place. I can't believe I actually eaten and paid for this trouble myself.

This is the first restaurant i have been to that the roast potato’s were crispy baked to perfection the roast pork chicken and beef were tender delicious all in all a great experience would recommend a visit

This was our first time visiting Donnelly’s restaurant at Bermondsey bar and kitchen and it didn’t disappoint. I had the braised rib meat to start and then the Ragu bolognese and both were absolutely delicious- in fact our whole party ordered different dishes and everybody was very satisfied. Besides the great range of food and tasty dishes, the service was on point and everything came in good time and with a smile from the attentive staff there. We were also told about the delicious sounding roasts they do by one of the waitresses so have booked ourselves in to try in a few week’s time. Overall, a really great dining experience- thank you!

We booked this restaurant for my Mother in laws Birthday on Sunday 111th September for 1pm. Was given menu and everything we ordered they had run out of. Their excuse was we have been open since 11am. Two hours and they ran out of food . Pathetic. Will not be booking again and will make a point of telling everyone I meet about this crap place.

First time diner at Donnelly's yesterday and what a pleasure! From the moment we arrived we were looked after by the excellent staff. Food menu (cocktails and drink menu) were all first rate and the Vegetarian Kentish Squash was delicious. It was made all the nicer by a top recommendation of the Mac & Cheese as a side dish (complete with a sprinkling of jalapeno peppers for an extra kick). A long and relaxing lunch was rounded off perfectly with a run of Expresso Martinis!!

Very misleading sign on the wall with big words such as SUSTAINABLE and ORGANIC, but they don't even have organic eggs - probably one of the easiest organic products to source (with very clear standards/accreditation) in the UK. It was also frustrating that the staff didn't know immediately or with any confidence if the eggs were organic vs. free range and also didn't know there was a difference. There is and I thought it was something that mattered to you, but it isn't, clearly. Food is great though...

Came down with my family last Saturday night to celebrate there 30th wedding anniversary!!! The food was outstanding so many different options to choose from!! The steak 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 not a massive meat eater but boy oh boy!! 😍😍😍 A must- if your around the London Bridge area

We had a brunch there on a Sunday after one of our regular visits to White Cube Bermondsey. The place is trendy so it gets really busy which has an impact on the service which can appear to be disjointed. Food is good though but we found it a bit expensive for the quantity you get on the plate.

We visited Donnelly’s recently for their Burns Night tasting menu. The food was amazing and wonderfully showcased Scottish foods and techniques, from the scallops to the hoggett to the great Iran Bru granita. Wonderful meal, will be back!

We emailed our order in advance as we requested special allergy requirements. The food arrived promptly just after we arrived. Very friendly staff, and the food was excellent, I had a whole sea bream not just a fillet!. The rest of the party had steaks which were tender and flavoursome.

This is a lively restaurant and bar. The place caters for those who want a full meal, just a snack or a great bar to meet friends. There's a huge outdoor seating area (covered against the weather) which was humming on a Friday night. Inside the decor is clean and modern with large seating area for both food and bar. The food was excellent, simple English food with a modern twist. The smoked salmon was one of the best I have ever eaten, easily Michelin standard. The Bream was also worthy of mentioning. Staff were very attentive food arrived quickly. All in all, a great experience. We enjoyed it so much that we went back for breakfast the next morning!! We will definitely be visiting again.

Tis eigenlijk 3 en een halve ster, t Bier was lekker, industriële aankleding uitstraling, lekker informeel, we hadden beiden een Steak, die was vers en goed gebakken. Jammer was dat de groenten bij het gerecht min of meer ontbraken. We hebben zelf iets van boerenkool erbij besteld, was ook lekker, maar 1 bordje met zn tweeën hmmm. Weinig. Zou ik er terug komen ja, want ' bediening is super vriendelijk en eten was wel lekker

Cibo non male, atmosfera un po' troppo caotica, abbiamo prenotato e ci hanno riservato un tavolo attaccato ad altre due...

Another trip to London, another visit to Donnelly's, and I left full and happy with yet another evening of delicious food. The bar area was bustling when we arrived but the waiting staff were attentive and explained everything about the seasonal and always inventive menu....

Absolutely amazing menu. We had the smaller plates to share, the bream, chicken and fried brie being our favourites. Really nice atmosphere at the Bermondsey Bar & Kitchen and excellent service with really friendly staff. Would highly recommend Donnelly's, very delicious dishes and all fresh...

I came here for a Saturday night dinner with a large group of friends and it was the perfect venue. The atmosphere was buzzing without being overwhelming, and the service was attentive without being invasive. The food was delicious, I ordered the baguette steak which...

I’m in town looking at places to live and walked past the front end on Snowsfield Road. Being on your own can sometimes be a scary experience but the staff were AMAZING! Polite, attentive but not in your face. Able to discuss the menu and...

We are staying at the B2 hotel just up the street from Donnelly’s and we have passed it a couple of times and it looked like a busy place so we tried it out. Great service and good food. My wife had the braised lamb...

Nice, close to tower bridge restaurant with affordable prices, great staff, tasty burger and good beer.

We had a nice lunch here. The menu is eclectic. We tried the Cornish hake and the salmon tartare. Both were excellent. Service was great.

I've visited Donnelly's a few times now since live just round the corner. I find the service pretty slack each time: staff takes a long time to notice you, or take your order or bring you the bill. Though they are all friendly when you...

Un locale molto vivo e pieno di gente la cui cucina, molto buona, è aperta fino a tardi (cosa da...

Came for brunch with some friends. The food is good, however, the service was incredibly slow even though the place was almost empty. One of the dishes was supposed to have two eggs and arrived with just one. We had to wait 30 minutes to...

Went to Donnelly's as it was recommended by a friend. The brunch was sooo good, especially the hash brown (how do they get it so crispy?!). Portions are very big as well, left me and the wife fully stuffed. Service is great here as well,...

I would have give this restaurant 5 had I not been short changed, only a £1 but it left a feeling that has yet to go away.

Last weekend a group of friends and I went here for dinner and I must say it was incredible! We were greeted at the door by a lovely man and told our table was ready. When I told him there were still a few to...

Whilst exploring around London Bridge at the weekend we stumbled upon this excellent eatery. We were welcomed by the team even though we had our daughter in a buggy which was a good start. We caught the tail end of the brunch service so my...

Me and my friends loved it! The food and service is incredible and the atmosphere is lovely. We all agreed we would return!

Visited here now on 3 occasions, and have been blown away by the quality of food coupled with excellent service. Lunch & dinner have been faultless. Good to see young chefs pushing boundaries & executing with precision. Keep up the good work James & team.

We booked a Thursday evening dinner for four on the back of the strong reviews here on TA. The restaurant was not what we expected - please note this is part of a large and very noisy bar / informal diner, and our enjoyment was...

Went for dinner with my daughter. Very busy, but we had a drink in adjoining bar and were contacted when a table was available. Great menu with half portions so you could try a couple of things. Lovely friendly and helpful staff. Very enjoyable evening.

Michael, Logan, Cassara & Joe were absolutely amazing! Drinks were great, they were hilarious and the truffle fries are a must do! Such a good atmosphere and it makes a difference when the staff aren’t moody like most places in London these days!

Dinner with friends at Donnelly's in Bermondsey. Pleasantly reminded of how great, tasty and creative British pubs were! Believe there was a new chef in - highly rated. Fantastic night out with amazing flavours (some a pleasant surprise), great wine selection and super friendly staff....

Went back for a rather gluttonous third trip before Donnelly's residency at the Sun and 13 Cantons finished and it was, as per my previous visits, an absolute taste sensation. The new lamb special was soft and full of flavour (and Chef kindly gave me...

This restaurant is not a typical pub food restaurant. The food is beyond best quality, and every dish we ordered was delicious. Not only that, the presentation is delicate which makes it fun to try out the food. The fish, meat, vegetables and dessert, everything...

One of those hidden gems you discover accidentally, randomly walk in, top service, amazing food on small plates, "British Tapas" fantastic experience 11/10. Highly recommended.

Went with a few friends from work and was not disappointed. Food is top notch and all presented nicely. The featherblade and bass are ones you have to try

We popped in for dinner on a Friday evening, and it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. So delicious... Plate licking good in fact. We can't wait to come back and try the new menu AND EVEN MORE EXCITED...

I like the concept - British tapas. Tasting/ sharing plates always a favourite as I get food envy otherwise! Some of the dishes were very good indeed: the pork and the sea bass were my favourites. Others were just OK or so unexceptional I've already...

In an unassuming pub where many of London’s best chefs have had residencies, another chef is making his mark. Donnelly’s is fresh, simple and with flavours that do not disappoint. They source the best ingredients and the freshest, seasonal produce that is presented beautifully and...

The food here is done beautifully. It's fun and original in execution, yet classic in and flavour combinations and choices of ingredients.

Absolutely incredible experience here. The food was absolutely unbelievable. Great presentation, diverse menu, and great service. I would I definitely recommend this to everyone i know, not to mention that the prices were great as most restaurants in London would charge much higher prices for...

This one makes my list of best Restaurants serving British food! I had the special of the day which was onion soup with a cheesy bread topping; beats any French Onion Soup I’ve ever had! I ordered the small pork dish which was well presented...

Food here is incredible couldn’t recommended it enough! Great produce used in a great way. It’s in tapas style so you are able to try everything on the menu which is highly necessary as I wouldn’t want to miss anything. They have everything for meat...

I can't recommend this place enough, they are at the Sun & 13 Cantons till mid Dec until they pop up nearer the Shard. I went with a friend and my poor husband has had to listen to me raving about it ever since! So...

We started with some very good beers, and then tried most of the small dishes, all of them very tasty but I loved the bass

Best british food I have had in years - strongly recommend to go with friends! I suggest the braised feather-blade beef and homemade ice cream.

Amazing food by one of the best, and friendliest, up-and-coming young chefs in London. Get there while you can! Everything is cooked with love and care, and to absolute perfection. Fantastic service from the FOH team, who made us feel welcome, relaxed and didn't rush...

Went here recently for dinner with a group of friends in town for the weekend and Donnelly's did NOT disappoint! Food was gorgeous - particular highlights were the white crab on buttermilk bread (ordered twice, it was so good!), bavette steak with blue cheese butter,...

This meal was absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed all the food and liked being able to share lots of small plates. The smoked aubergine toast, the spiced red lentils and the potato cake were my favourites from the current menu but really enjoyed everything I...

Had dinner with friends here and absolutely loved it.. I am still dreaming of the cornbread and crab dish.. it was simply delicious ! Must try! Nice atmosphere, and the food tasted fresh and flavoursome.. Great to have the option of little plates too.. Atrue...

The pub is traditional and really cosy, but what really made me happy was the most amazing food I had since visiting London. Stumbled across Donnelly's restaurant by chance and had lavish meal. Oh boy deviled mushrooms and croquetts were delicious, after I had this...

Spacious surroundings in the dining area despite the crowds of after work drinkers. Greeted warmly on arrival and offered drinks. Ordered sharing plates on the croquettes, which were savoury, well flavoured and devoured easily on arrival! Moved onto the lamb special and feather blade beef....

Food is fantastic, healthy and delicious,love the fact that you can have a small portion. Recommend the desserts. Coconut gelato is my favourite

This is a real treat, the food is beyond delicious and beautifully presented. We honestly thought we were being served michelin star level food. The staff are very friendly and genuinely want you to have the best time. Highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely...

Firstly, this restaurant is in residence at the Sun and 13 Cantons at present so won’t be there forever! We were looking forward to it but didn’t expect to be quite as blown away as we were. Great venue/pub but the menu, and everything we...

Had dinner here with a couple of friends. I’m vegetarian and although the place is primarily very meaty there were plenty of lovely dishes for me. It was really nice to have something a little different and of course the creamy chips and cheese went...

The food at Donnelly's was so tasty and delicious we loved everything we ordered. The service was excellent and we has a great evening. Will definitely be back again as soon as possible!

Popped in on the off chance of a table, and the waiter managed to get us a one despite it being really busy! The menu was awesome, really spoilt for choice but decided to go with several of the smaller sized dishes (all mains come...

Loved this fabulous pop up restaurant. The food was so fresh and absolutely delicious. Our favourite dish was the feather blade beef and pickled chilis. We will be going back and highly recommend trying this fantastic place.

We visited Donnelleys on a Tuesday night. Food was clean, simple but complexed. Had friends from Oz with us who said it was the best meal they had had in the UK (they’ve been here for 3 months). We were lucky enough to meet James...

We had dinner at Donnelly's last weekend and could not fault it. Food is delicious and with fabulous flavours. Great location in Soho with fun and relaxing atmosphere. We felt very looked after. Highly recommend!

Following James from the Palmerston I’ve always known he’s an outstanding chef and creates the most wonderful dishes. The food at donnellys is incredible. The dishes are so well thought out and delicious. Would 100% recommend because you won’t be let down.

Donnelly’s is a great eating experience. Just off Regent Street so convenient for shops and theatres. The food is full of interesting ingredients, full of flavour and beautifully presented. I particularly like the sharing menu - British tapas. A great idea.

Had dinner here last night as I had heard Donnellys have a guest residency. The food was unbelievable. There were four of us so we had pretty much everything on the menu, spiced chicken, fish tacos, deep fried hazelnut crumb Ogleshield we had the lot...

The food at Donnelly's is fantastic. All the dishes are well designed for sharing which means you can have a really exciting and varied meal. It has an excellent variety of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes so perfect for groups with different tastes and preferences....

Was walking around soho and stumbled upon this residency restaurant at the Sun and 13 cantons. On Great Pulteney Street (1min from Carnaby Street) 2 friends and I went in to look at the menu and saw some of the dishes coming out. Everything looked...

Visited residency when in Louie Louie and can't wait to try the next location! British style tapas- small/big plates with big flavours. Three of us got several small plates and shared all round, love that style of dining! It was all very very tasty! Recommend.

Amazing food great new ideas in the perfect location and so friendly cant wait to go back Stevie C Balham

Totally recommend going to Donnelly's - originally discovered at The Palmerston in South London and tried their first residency at Louie Louie this summer. Great for small plates and trying loads of different flavours, plus all locally sourced ingredients. The jerk chicken and smoked mackerel...

Fresh delicious locally sourced-wow so good! Thoroughly recommend this restaurant-do visit while you have the chance!

Had the best dinner at Donnelly's restaurant with my girls! We were spoilt for choice over the menu, but definite favourites were the mouthwatering salmon & scallop tartare, fish tacos and the deliciously tender braised beef. A must have is the chocolate tart - absolutely...

Followed James from The Palmerston in East Dulwich, missed going to Louie Louie but just wasn't going to miss out on visiting his new incarnation in Soho. What a fantastic venue, the menu eclectic and delicious - (choosing was the most difficult thing as we...

Oh my, where to start! With four little divine snacks which we started with, to the mains which you could have as a starter, or as a selection of small plates or as a main meal, and because we just love eating and wanted to...

Amazing dishes made with amazing produce, you can tell the chef chooses his ingredients and crafts his menu with a lot of care and attention. Definitely go here, you will not be disappointed. I'm still thinking about the croquettes weeks later!! And the beef was...

At last! Was fortunate to discover chef Donnelly at his popup at Louie Louie this summer (so good I went twice AND took my Dad there) and cant wait to get to his new spot for thirds. Amazing small and large plates - everything from...

Food Delicious and unpretentious. Such good value for money. Certainly recomend to any of my friends. Look forward to eating at the next venue.

I ate at Donnelly s when at Louie Louie with around 6 friends, good options on the menu and diverse, Rich in flavour or Nice and light. What I did like is the option to have the portions as a starter size or main size...

I came with a friend for a spot of supper and a catch up. We had a couple of starters, a main, a side and a couple of desserts. Really impressed with the variety on the menu and also the food was second to none....

Food was amazing! Great fit for everyone with good choice for both vegetarians and meat carnivorous. Fact it's also tapas style means you can maver leave satisfied. 5-star!
