Granger & Co in Islington

So sad to see Granger Clerkenwell close after all these years. Special thanks to Javier for being so friendly and professional.

Nice food, nice service. javiar was so kind.

Myself and my friend went on Monday for the first time deciding it would be our “new spot” only to find out its shutting down soon! So we will have to follow the incredible woman that is Zuhal, to the Kings Cross one! She was so lovely and looked after us well while throwing around great humour! The other lady i think the host? Was so sweet and gave us a cake on the house! We were there for ages as we hadn't seen each other in a long time - the atmosphere was great as well as the food! Thank you all xx

Had a tasty brunch here with excellent service. Things we tried were the veggie rosti, the Aussie brunch and scrambled eggs with toast. I would recommend the hotcakes with banana which were fluffy and delicious.

Granger & Co. is always 5 stars. A great place for catching up with friends for breakfast or lunch. The food is delicious with a good variety of options. Would highly recommend!

Good but more expensive than the average similar London place.

Great lunch place at Farringdon was there for a business lunch . The service is great the atmosphere bright and vibrant

Very nice guest room, extremely attentive staff, really good breakfast selection. We went there at 10 a.m. on a Saturday without a reservation and it wasn't a problem. An hour later it was pretty full.

Alot of choice. Friendly service

Very good on an early Spring lunchtime.

I went for breakfast, my first experience, I've never been here before. It was incredibly delicious, I enjoyed it very much, I tried the eggs and hotcakes, the eggs were already extraordinary, very nice. The pancake was hot and tasted different, but I liked it very much. Ms. Zühal was very interested, she immediately filled it with water and took care of the table completely. She stopped by my table a few times to see if anything was missing. Everything was great. I will definitely come again. I already miss the taste of hotcakes.

It is large space with lots of light, particular pleasant in the afternoon. I order a dish with poached eggs, which were cold. My friend ordered the yellow curry which was bland and overly rich. The price below is without drinks

Long wait outside, lots of noise, waitress can be pleasant, very expensive for avocado on toast

I had a fantastic experience at this Granger location! The atmosphere was bright, open, and spacious—much more comfortable than some other locations I’ve visited, like the one in Yokohama, which has great food and service but feels a bit more packed. This spot, on the other hand, had plenty of space and a relaxed vibe, making for a really enjoyable dining experience. The staff were incredibly attentive, and our waiter went above and beyond, even treating us to some delicious desserts. The peanut butter cupcake was a standout! As always, the ricotta hotcakes were a banger—fluffy, flavorful, and absolutely worth ordering. I paired them with an iced coffee, which was well-made and refreshing. Overall, a wonderful visit with great food, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend!

This branch’s food was a little less polished than other branches I’ve been to. My Halloumi side order in particular was very poor; it was quite rubbery as it wasn’t freshly grilled as other branches have them. The scrambled eggs were alright though but again not as fluffy and layered as other branches.

I’ve always enjoyed Granger & Co, but I felt like my eggs had no flavor. Only adding loads of salt and pepper. Service was good and although it was loud the atmosphere, I guess it’s totally normal for a Sunday morning. Overall good experience!

We visited Granger & Co in Chelsea for lunch, anticipating a delightful meal. We ordered two chicken schnitzels, each priced at £25.50. A 30-minute wait was acceptable to us, but the subsequent experience was profoundly disappointing. My chicken breast was excessively thick and alarmingly undercooked, it was not hot enough - displaying a pronounced pinkness throughout. Given that my partner is a professional chef who owns 2 restaurants , he immediately recognized the severity of the issue. He very discreetly informed the waitress, who insisted the chicken was fully cooked and summoned the manager. The manager’s response was shockingly unprofessional and confrontational. She raised her voice, asserting that similar complaints had been dismissed by their suppliers as “veins in the meat.” While she did offer to replace the dish, stating it would take an additional 20 minutes, her escalating volume and accusatory tone made us feel humiliated and singled out in front of other customers . (We cannot help but still question her behaviour.) Feeling deeply uncomfortable, I quietly declined the replacement, and my partner returned his dish as well, concerned about the kitchen’s handling of our meals. The manager removed the schnitzels from our bill but still charged us for water, chips, and included the service charge. Considering the lack of service and our profound disappointment, this additional charge felt unjustified. Adding to our dismay, the shared toilets were in a deplorable state — filthy and unhygienic!!! Disturbingly, about an hour after, I began experiencing severe vomiting and diarrhea, which persisted throughout the night and into the following day. My GP diagnosed it as food poisoning. We promptly emailed the restaurant detailing this harrowing incident. Given the manager’s egregious conduct and the serious health implications, we feel compelled to share this distressing experience and advise potential customers to exercise caution when considering dining at Granger & Co Chelsea. This incident underscores the critical importance of adhering to stringent kitchen hygiene standards to prevent foodborne illnesses such as salmonella. In light of these issues, we hope the management takes immediate action to address both their service protocols and cleanliness standards to ensure no other clients endure a similar experience.

Just as good as it was a decade ago. I loved being back there. They have a full vego menu, the food is so flavourful and the portions are humongous!

My favorite Granger & Co. branch is definitely this one. If you find other locations too crowded you can come here and enjoy high ceilings and full length windows. Their scrambled eggs and ricotta hotcakes need no introduction, always a great breakfast/brunch option for me.

I've been here a few times for work lunches, and it has all been brilliant. Great food, amazing staff, and the atmosphere is always really relaxed. Would 100% recommend.

Good service and tasty food. Fairly expensive for what it is though!

Lovely atmosphere and location but overpriced and avo on toast with poached eggs for 16 quid looks pitiful. You can get a nicer one in any workers cafe.

This was my second visit. The first time, I tried the curry, which was incredibly bland and watered down. I decided to give the place another chance because the space itself is beautiful, but unfortunately, the food disappointed me again. The dumpling soup was just as bland, lacking any real depth of flavor. I definitely won’t be coming back for the food—maybe just for coffee. The service also leaves a lot to be desired. The place seems understaffed, everything moves slowly, and the staff isn’t proactive. I constantly had to raise my hand to get their attention instead of them anticipating what was needed

Nice place with excellent friendly service from our waiter. We went at 6pm on a Saturday when the number presented was low but it was filling up by 8pm. Food was interesting and enjoyable

Gorgeous, light-filled restaurant with delicious food. My favourite is the sweetcorn fritters. Never had a bad meal here.

Extremely sad to come here after moving over from Sydney and seeing how terrible this place is compared to Bill’s. Putting aside the inflationary pricing here, the food quality and service was abysmal. Scrambled eggs were rubbery and bacon nothing like the original. The staff actually forgot our bacon, then the waitresses tell us it’s the kitchen’s fault (maybe don’t throw each other under the bus in front of customers?). No water service or anything, and then a service charge slapped on. Total joke and an embarrassment to be associated with the Bill Granger brand. Take me back to Sydney.

Delicious food with nice service and atmosphere.

Horrible comida - rodajas de calabacín en insípido (blanco) masa insípida mal cocida que les envié de vuelta. Gambas tigre en masa flácida, sin sabor ni textura. Pollo demasiado cocido. El único plato decente era el taramasalata. Vino caro. Bill era de 120 libras. Evitar este lugar, demasiado caro, mal cocinado y de mal gusto.

The portion sizes made up for the price, Erin was extremely helpful in fulfilling my order for the evening, would recommend to anyone who stops by the area

The food is great, but the service is agonisingly slow (both drinks and food).

Delicious food, really good selection of teas and coffee and very good service

This is my fav meeting breakfast / lunch spot - food super good and healthy, staff super nice, vibes immaculate ✨

Nice modern place but a bit austere Pancakes : good hut you need to like those fluffy ones Too bad there is no chocolate for the pancakes the kids were disappointed Most expensive breakfast even more expansive than all the restaurants we went to during our stay

Good food but really pricy and you have to wait a long time to be served. Food came out before our coffees as well. Pancakes are great.

Great food and even better staff in atendence.

Normally we have a brilliant experience at Granger, but this time was disappointed by the service - with part of our meals (bacon, tomatoes, etc) coming out as we had pretty much finished our dishes, no acknowledgement from the wait staff. Food quality and taste was great when it came, but am a little disappointed by the Korean fried chicken, it seems it has been changed, less sauce and a smaller portion or chicken, it just leaves you wanting so much more

Here we don't just try to imitate fancy dishes. It really tastes like something here too. The best breakfast of my entire stay. Absolutely recommended! Special requests are no problem at all. Gluten-free is also available on the menu. Oat milk in a cappuccino? No problem.

Thank you Clerkenwell team for an exceptional dining experience. Everything was perfect. I brought some friends over visiting from Paris to show them the best breakfast spot in london. They loved it so much. The team were very accommodating to their two children. 5 stars all around!

Delicious breakfast, and beautifully presented dishes. hopefully the photos do justice.

We enjoyed a lovely meal and evening at Granger and Co, and were very well attended to and warmly hosted by Javier. It is fantastic that the restaurant is dog-friendly, and my dog was made very welcome 🤗 I had the vegetarian rigatoni, which was super tasty. Will be back!

Really great. Warm service (although, from experience this is depending on the server you get)

Nice place for cocktails and lunch/dinner but a little overrated for breakfast. High in prices to my view, I loved the decoration and the overall atmosphere and staff was very nice, they are welcoming and serving very quickly. Please check for afternoon/evening cocktails.

Amazing food and the service provided by Javier, who was so kinda and patient!

Beautiful location, fair prices, excellent food quality. Try the miso mushrooms - unreal.

Fantastic food, prompt and kind service, and a beautifully clean ‘modern mild art deco’ interior.

I went for some drinks the other night on Monday. The bartender was incredible! Really handsome and the cocktails where unbelievable 😍 10/10

Food was very nice and portions are rather big. The ricotta hotcakes are yummy but definitely on the sweet side :) I also enjoyed the Aussie veg breakfast but felt it was rather on the expensive side.

We experienced it during our family holiday in London. We were truly as impressed as the previous reviews. The ambience, flavors and service were very nice. Portions were extremely sufficient and delicious. Especially as an egg lover, the scrambled eggs I tried and the poached eggs my wife tried were great. The hotcake our daughter ate was amazing with both its dough and side flavors. I recommend it to everyone.

We took two breakfast dishes, and the third was pancakes. The breakfast dishes were eggs with grated potatoes. Instead of bacon, we ordered halloumi and mushrooms. It was a sweet dish. The second one was told to take our order. It was corn and vegetables made with it, but it was two slices of a burger. It was normal. The hotcakes were not hot. It was normal. It was bitter.

The food was great but Javier was absolutelly amazing. Thanks so much for your kindness and help

Great place for breakfast! Good variety and quality. Our waiter was very patient and kind, and we had a lovely time.

We enjoyed a lot, Javier was very helpful, he helped us a lot with choosing the food and his service made us feel at home. Wonderful experienced

We loved the food. Javier attended to us and he is charming. Highly recommended

The food was fantastic and the service especially good by the waiter Javier who made our evening much more pleasant. We will definitely return!

All delicious, but without a doubt Javier, the guy with the beard, has been the best thing on the site. I'll be back soon. Javier, thank you very much for everything.

We had a lovely family brunch. Food was fantastic across the board but what made it special was our server, Erin! Thank you!!

Great experience and delicious meal. The service was fantastic, and we felt very welcomed. Javier's recommendations were spot on; he was attentive and gracious, the perfect waiter. Thank you!

The winter fruit bowl was relatively tasteless fruit carelessly arranged on the plate and a Greek yogurt that was in a mini jam plate on top (max 1 teaspoon).

The food was delicious and Javier’s service made our brunch super special! Loved it

I went for brunch, and it was fantastic. The food was absolutely delicious. The highlight of our visit was definitely Javier, who provided outstanding service. He was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and offering helpful recommendations. Javier’s warmth and professionalism truly made our experience memorable. Highly recommend

Fantastic breakfast, sweetcorn fritters are delicious.

Went for brunch with the fam and got served by Javier who was so lovely and accommodating. He also told us about the strawberry pancakes 10/10. will def go back very soon!

Had the most amazing dinner - our server Erin was the best! Thank you :)

Excellent service and fantastic food!

Always warm and friendly, with a modern well balanced menu and pretty good value for money, we eat here every 6 months or so and it's always good

Food has always been delicious and the restaurant is nicely decorated. Just would say the service is a little slow as it takes a while to order. Would recommend as a spot for brunch though ☺️

We had the best service with Javi!!

The service and atmosphere of the restaurant are very nice with dimmed lighting in the evening and a friendly service. We ordered the crudités and taramasalata with sourdough bread to share for the starters. The taramasalata was delicious, so I would highly recommend that. For the main, I ordered the bill's fragrant yellow curry with fish and jasmine rice. I enjoyed the roasted pumpkins inside but felt that the curry was slightly lacking in flavour. It's definitely not a very authentic Asian curry, and I have had many better ones elsewhere. However, I believe the restaurant may be better for brunch, so I would like to come back for that on another day.

Super recommended and Javier was super attentive!

I had not been to this branch since before the pandemic. We enjoyed a wonderful, relaxed evening served by Harvey. He was charming, helpful and not intrusive. His wine recommendation was spot on. The food was delicious. We look forward to coming back

Really lovely restaurant, would definitely recommend the potato and feta rosti or sweetcorn fritters

I always reserve this place for groups when available. The food is good, the space is cozy, lovely staff. The service can be quicker

Javier was amazing. Great night. Thank you

Nice spot for brunch - the chili fried egg and halloumi brioche and the scrambled eggs were delicious. Service was quick and the servers are friendly. Will be back!

Nice place bit of art deco going on. Went early to get off to theatre. Great meal great local lager.

Food quality average. We has prawn linguine and chicken . Both tasted rather bland.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant and my waitress Gylunar H. was amazing. I got a window seat and a delicious meal!!! Thank you!

Had the best brunch here with friends. Atmosphere was perfect and our host (I think his name was Simon) was so friendly and attentive. We’ll be back

Great place for a working lunch! Great service and vibes!

Has been my favourite brunch place for many years

Honestly the staff weren’t at their best this time around .. food top notch as usual 👌

Este restaurante ofrece una excelente experiencia gastronómica, con un filete perfectamente cocinado y sabroso que roba el espectáculo. Las gambas, aunque no tan destacadas, siguen siendo frescas y deliciosas. El personal amable y atento crea un ambiente cálido y acogedor, haciendo que la comida sea aún más agradable. Muy recomendable para la buena comida y un servicio encantador! Gracias especiales a Toni y Christine.

Delightful experience. I highly recommend this place

Absolutely amazing experience. Great staffs & delicious food. The steak and the burger were brilliant! Thank you so much Toni and Christine - you guys are awesome.

My favorite granger & co in London,love the interior design here. And really good service thank you, Javier!

Visiting friends in London and they took me to their favorite brunch place Granger & Co. Clerkenwell. Enjoyed the food a lot. Worth to mention that Javier is the best, his friendliness made this experience even better!!! - would definitely come back again!

excellent service from javier, made me feel comfortable, was the best service i’ve had, made me laugh aswell as aided to my request quickly. amazing service

I visited Granger & Co few times including different branches but this time was the best experience I had. Great food and fantastic service, shout out to Javier:)

Always a winner. Great brunch and coffee.

we had a lovely the other week at granger, the scrambled eggs and the pancakes have to be the best we’ve had, and our waiter jack took really good care of us checking in and making sure everything was amazing.

We visited last Wed for a post work dinner. Delicious food and great atmosphere. Extensive veggie options!

Have been coming here for a while for work lunches. The menu changes seasonally. The service is always good and there is good seating setting.Food is delicious and well presented.

The service was terrible. We had breakfast and sat for a while. After half an hour, we decided to order pancakes. We waited for them for forty minutes, only to find out they were just sitting on the counter, and no one brought them to us. We asked the waitress if she was ready to bring the pancakes, and she said yes but then disappeared for another 10 minutes. In the end, we had to go up and get the pancakes ourselves.

They are famous for their French toast, but I didn’t like the smell of eggs 😤/ The coffee and dessert options I tried most of them were expensive / They serve you with love❤️

Very impressed by the quality of the food at this place. Will definitely come back!

WOW! One of the best steaks I've ever eaten (really skilled chefs and quality ingredients; forget about those Salt Baes and Gauchos :-D) + really good chicken schnitzel and crudités.

The food and service are always on point, never been disappointed... always delicious 😋

My favorite breakfast and brunch place. The scramble eggs and ricotta hot cakes cannot be missed.

Sleek and clean interior with plenty of light. Great service and a classic choice of food for brunch.

Chicken schnitzel with no flavour at all and significantly reduced quantity compared to before, especially for the price. Service is average and place is not super clean either. Won’t go back.
