Hand Made Food in Lewisham

We stopped and had a Kim chi and cheese toastie and coffee for breakfast, it was amazingly good, really unusual but made with love. We then brought some veg rolls and spinach and ricotta pastries, these looked good too

Expensive for what they are. The 'Kimchee and cheese' sandwich was the most stomach upsetting food. Other salads and pastries are ok but way too expensive.

Warm welcome upon our arrival. Service was on point, very attentive. I had the chicken liver & brandy parfait as my starter which, was good. I had the pork fillet wrapped in pancetta, kale, broad beans, lentils, red wine jus infused with tarragon which was absolutely delicious 😋. For desert I ordered the poached white peach, ginger sponge with pistachio chantilly cream which I really enjoyed albeit that I usually do not like deserts. The organic red wine 🍷 was absolutely delicious

The store is full of lovely produce but I have given an average rating because today was the second time we have bought prepared salad pots that have a ‘use by’ date that have expired before the date of purchase. Today I bought one prepared salad that had a best before date of yesterday and one with an expiry date of 4 days time, so the salad pots can be prepared and sitting on the shelves for 4 days or longer before sale because food is being sold that has exceeded its best before date. As the best before date stickers are put on the bottom of the pots it is difficult to check the dates before purchase. This practice certainly detracts from what this store should be about and if they want to sell food that is past it’s best before date and charge full price it should be clearly shown so customers can decide if they want to pay full price for a salad that is past its best. Shame as otherwise I like the store and the staff.

Cold food only. A great shame that the kitchen has closed and hot lunches are no longer on the menu. This had been the best value lunch in the village.

I just had their quiche lunch box and it was fantastic. The portions were large and the food is delicious. I particularly loved the quiche which was full of flavour. I would definitely recommend this and will look forward to trying other things from their menu.

The food here is genuinely excellent and for the money, no other place in Blackheath can touch this tiny eaterie. Practically everything else about this place is slightly difficult; dining here requires a degree of patience, communal consideration and above all, good timing. The cafe style of service means queuing up to order from a small counter pulpit, in a floor space which is frequently crowded with old ladies, pushchairs, small children and people with walking aids. Happily this means that no service is added to the bill. The decor seems to be aiming at 'shabby chic' but the layout of the upper floor (two small rooms which suggest that the building has been perfunctorily adapted from a former residence) and its standard of decor are poor; everything is the wrong size for the space, the acoustic quality of the rooms means that the sound of anyone speaking at normal volume completely dominates the room. Upstairs access is via a narrow and rather steep stairway (as you might find in small house). The best option is to sit outside at the four small pavement tables which in summer are pounced on as soon as one becomes vacant. Lunchtime service finishes at 3pm on the dottage. The hot menu is fresh and different each day, chalked up on a board and rubbed out as the two main courses sell out. Whichever I prefer is likely to be gone by about 2pm; as I said, timing is important. The salad bar runs down until about 5pm. Then there's little to be had until the evening dinner service starts at 6pm. Dinner is a table service, with a charge added to the bill. The food is consistently first class. Daytime at the weekend presents an all-day breakfast (no lunch), and dinner in the evening. Monday, the place is closed. Did I mention it was all about timing?

I've given this place 12 brunch tries as my wife loves it here but I have breakfast and she goes for lunch options at brunch. What I've had has either been 1) worse than a local CAF 2) so small hasn't filled me up portion wise 3) been very salty I couldn't eat it all 4) minor point but worth mentioning that it all seems a bit overpriced for what is a self serve/order cafe where they never check on your food and fail to bring out two brunch's at once. I want breakfast at a brunch cafe is that so hard to get? Why is the brunch list so small that I am forced to eat the same 4 average dishes each time hoping for better but being dissatisfied? Up your game at brunch or my wife will be eating here alone!!

Très bon restaurant Première visite à Blackheath et nous ne sommes pas déçus de l’accueil et des plats servis Nous conseillons à tous les français !

This restaurant is one of the best in Blackheath. We had an amazing New Year’s Eve 5 course meal. An experienced Chef Luis who undoubtedly is the best in creating plates of food that tantalises your tastebuds that leaves you wishing there was more on your plate.

Was invited by a colleague. And so this is what they do in a delicatessen after 5! We sat downstairs, in the window. Still cosy and relaxed. Food is market fresh and seasonal. Great bread and a good choice of options from the menu. Unpretentious but delicious wines. Well worth seeking out if you are in that part of town. Would definitely go back.

Love this local independent restaurant. We are regulars; the quality and service never disappoints. Always delicious and the veggie option is often the outstanding choice - and we’re not vegetarians. The fixed price for two or three courses offers great value and the wine selection is reasonably priced and well-chosen. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

A Sunday breakfast...I opted for the Vegan? Eggs Mushrooms tomato roasted potatoes toast on the side...I waited an age...should be good it wasn't... The eggs had been sitting the potatoes nice touch but tepid and hard the rest just okay! The servers so so but surly and quite obvious they don't want to be there...used to be really good actually not so long ago???

This was our second visit within a few weeks. Sign of a good restaurant is when you have things you normally don't have or fancy and they end up being really tasty and most enjoyable. The Food here is fantastic - can't wait for the 3rd visit!

Ate here tonight with my husband and friend from out of town. From start to finish the evening was lovely. The service was exceptional, friendly and attentive but not over the top. The offer of tap water the moment you arrived and the drinks ordered taken soon after was great. The food was 😋 yummy.. and the portion size was very generous given the price, the meat and fish options that my husband and mate enjoyed were I’m told delicious. The vegetarian main was so well thought out in terms of its big flavours and textures it was utterly delicious and it felt like some one had taken time to plan and care for a well balanced Vegi main (and not just put another risotto on the menu). The wine and beer selection was also very good. You do have to book as the restaurant is little and popular at the weekend, but staff are really accommodating.

Been three times and sampled lunch once. Very good food consistently and phenomenal cheeses which I was thrilled to then be able to buy. Favourite in Blackheath - so favourite in South London really

店名叫hand made，是一間提供自家製作食品的餐廳，沙拉是按重量計算價錢的，甜品也是自家製不過個人覺得味道略嫌太甜。

Definitivamente está seguro de una excelente comida aquí en cualquier momento del día. El menú es muy diferente del funcionamiento normal del molino. La comida era deliciosa, el servicio impecable y el personal muy eficiente. Uno de los mejores restaurantes en los que he estado en Londres. Lo recomiendo pero reserve con anticipación.

Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner! It doesn’t matter what time you visit Hand Made Food you’re always guaranteed an outstanding meal! My favourite place for dinner in Blackheath, we visit all the time.

What’s not to love. Good food, great coffee, served well by friendly people in pleasant surroundings. Bacon and egg sarnie to die for and plenty of artisanal provisions to tempt.

My favorite eating place for dinner in Blackheath, relaxed and an interesting menu that changes often enough. Really good wine selection at decent prices. Brunch good too, though can add up to be a bit expensive. Decor is shabby chic. Love sitting downstairs in the window watching the world go by.

Such good quality food and reasonably priced, using named suppliers and with a great ethos. A lovely environment and very friendly service

Just had an amazing dinner at Hand made food. 3 course meal for £26. Everything was freshly made and the team/kitchen went out of their way to accommodate my specific requirements. Will be going back for sure.

Great place to people watch and enjoy a really tasty decaffeinated coffee. The babycino and banana bread are also recommended.

We are SO happy we found this little gem. Saturday night dinner, 3 courses for £26 (where do you find these prices in London!) and the food was first class. I have an allergy to dairy and wheat, which i pre warned them about, and they were so accommodating. They really do cook everything from scratch and the food was perfection. Excellent wine, craft beer and soft drinks menu, really lovely staff. We will be coming back, a lot.

A breakfast, lunch or dinner never disappoints at Hand Made. It is a favourite haunt of locals and provides a great community feel with food of the highest standard. The staff are extremely friendly and I can’t recommend enough.

Just had a great meal with friends in the restaurant before attending a book review at the Blackheath Concert Halls, absolutely amazing food as always. The February menu is sublime. Mano The best of hosts always makes you feel welcome and special. The chefs Liam and Lewis working hard in the kitchen with their team preparing exeptional food.

Siempre me detengo en Hand Made Food para tomar un café y un bocado rápido. Cada vez que voy allí, se siente como si me sirvieran amigos y se puede ver que los chefs de la cocina siempre cocinan algo delicioso.

Fui a cenar con mi amigo recientemente. Desde el momento en que entramos nos sentimos atendidos. El servicio fue atento pero no demasiado en su cara.

Just had a lovely breakfast in Blackheath! New to Hand Made Food but had avocado on toast, other half had a full breakfast, just great fresh food :) little bit of a wait but coffee was good and staff genuinely friendly. Will be back!

When the food is good, it is good but it is very hot and miss.

Me encanta la comida hecha a mano. El café aquí es encantador, la comida es deliciosa y el servicio es excelente. Ahora es nuestro camino firme y, desde luego, nuestra primera opción para recibir visitas. Mi hermana y su pareja son veganas, y Hand Made Food tiene una gran selección de dulces para que ellos puedan profundizar, la mejor en Blackheath con diferencia.

He tenido la suerte de haber comido aquí en numerosas ocasiones. El servicio de comida artesanal está siempre en mi perfección de ojos. No hay camareros / camareras pretenciosos.

I have been here many times. Food is always fantastic, staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is perfect. One of my favourite places to eat in Blackheath.

I've been meaning to review for ages but I have to express how wonderful this little spot was throughout my maternity leave when I would squeeze in with my giant buggy and noisy baby. Staff couldn't have been kinder to both my baby and I, always making me feel so welcome. The food is amazing and tastes 100% home made. Now I'm back at work I look forward to weekend visits!

If I have a chance to visit again, I will return for sure! Food were absolutely fresh and tasty. Service was good as well. The restaurant is located at peaceful small town that I like too.

My partner and I have visited twice for the midweek 3 course meal. On both occasions the experience was great. The food is delicious and the service attentive. They offered the perfect amount of choices on the menu so as not to be overwhelming, each dish seemed to be really well put together and thought through. Had steak both times and would strongly recommend! We will be back!

Delicious place in a quite but lovely area. The food is fresh and great and the staff is kind and helpfull. The prive is fine. I would reccomend it!!

I've been there for a dinner whit our baby.... we've been very well treat from the beginning,how they presented the menu and how they maked us changing mind to not leave because there wasn't space available and we needed to wait for 10 minutes and we did well to wait food was nice and we'll presented! disappointing was the service....it was one person that knew how to do a service,2 of them didn't know at all what to do (for example we was seated and started to eat without having a napkin)...just give them some training and everything will be good!

HMF hizo un gran trabajo de catering para una boda asistí el año pasado, así que pensé que le daría su Wed - Restaurante sábado ofreciendo un ir. Mi amigo y yo tuvimos una comida realmente precioso de 3 platos con pan, vino y café por 40 libras cada uno. Una ganga en estas partes. Las porciones son pequeñas pero muy bien meditados, ligero y fresco - el entrante de tomate era hermoso. El postre de chocolate fue un enorme y absolutamente encantador.

The service really let this place down for me. Whilst the food is good, the grumpy, unhelpful staff (except one guy) left a sour taste. Tables weren’t cleaned. We sat at an obviously dirty table (wads of blue roll) that was ignored by staff until we decided to move to another (less dirty) table that became available. If you aren’t going to serve with a smile, try another job.... it would also be helpful to make it obvious you’re to order at the till. Again, friendly staff usually ensure that.

Muy relajado actitud de recepción - personal de la propietaria? Tuvimos el 3 platos por £24 y ofrecen una botella de chianti. Fue velada. Primera vez aquí, aunque vivo en Blackheath; no libro, aunque parecía vacío de comensales al principio, pero todos mesa llena rápidamente después de 8. 00:00 h.

Loved it! Great food. Really fresh salads and delicious quiches. Friendly service. Overall a really lovely place to go.

Mi amigo y yo fuimos allí - había estado anteriormente y alabanzas sobre sus bollos de canela y ensaladas, así que decidimos probarlo para el brunch especialmente, ya que nunca había estado y había oído grandes cosas.

Nos habían recomendado este café. Uno entra y, en una primera visita, no tiene ni idea de qué hacer. El servidor finalmente nos preguntó qué queríamos. Ella era arrogante, borde y grosero. El servicio era excepcionalmente lento para un lugar no muy completo. El pescado tartas eran del 90%. El 10% de patata y pescado - al menos eso es lo que parecía. El personal, en la cocina, estaban comiendo fuera un plato con sus dedos - que pueden tener los lavados, que no podía ver. En general, una muy decepcionante la primera visita.

A shambles on entering. It’s ambiguous. If you sit down or take away, it’s the same queue. Too expensive for what it is. One slice of bread without butter I was charged £1.00!!

Teníamos el desayuno aquí antes de salir de compras en Blackheath Village. Es un lugar peculiar. Una cafetería con pastelería en la planta baja. Arriba es semejante a una pocas habitaciones en una casa tradicional con terrazas. Se han convertido, con mesas y sillas.

Staying with my daughter in Blackheath and she’s wanted to try this restaurant for ages, so tonight was the night and we weren’t disappointed. Fantastic ambiance, wonderful food, lovely staff and an all round memorable experience. We can highly recommend and will be back. Thank you Hand Made Food.

this place is ok the food is genuine and the staff are friendly, i dont like there ordering system since it has to be done manually downstairs. so if the place is full downstairs which has been every time we have been there (3 times so far) you have to down to order food then come back up which is a bit of a pain. still worth visiting for a quick lunch

El personal bastante agradable. Tienes que pedir en el bar y no tienen servicio de mesa. Que mal mi pedido y esperé 15 minutos para el plato de la derecha para salir. Cuando el pan estaba duro y no tostado. Bastante caro para la calidad de la comida. Decepcionante.

This place is fantastic. Wonderful cuisine, well presented, and fabulously tasty. Menu changes every week and this is my third trip. A great local restaurant, with great food at a great price. There’s no chasing Michelin stars or awards, just damn great food for locals...

Salimos a la calle y amablemente nos acomodó a pesar de estar ocupados. Nos sentamos abajo, en lo que es pequeña cafetería encantadora y pintoresca. Es cálido, confortable y acogedor.

He vivido en la zona por más de 30 años y nunca vimos este lugar antes. Mi atención fue sólo llamó la atención por una oferta especial de tres campos por £20; yo siempre asumí que era una cafetería/deli.

We had the 3 course Winter menu for £20 a head! The menu is quite small with a choice of 3 or 4 dishes per course - always a good sign for a small restaurant - and each dish was superb. Really top quality cooking and seasonal ingredients made for a delicious meal. The added bonus was a small table downstairs by the window - so also a great location for watching the world by. We will go back again (& again & again...)

Hemos comido aquí por lo menos 6 veces pero olvidado de crítica. Este café y negocios que se convierte en un restaurante varias noches por semana no se puede perder. Es propiedad de un gran chef Guy Awford local que tiene una larga sirve excelente equipo de personal de la casa (incluyendo Paulina) que trabajo entre aquí y su igualmente gran Carvery Roast" Armas de Guildford en Greenwich. Entretanto, este es por mucho el mejor restaurante en BLACKHEATH. En cuanto a reservar en el fin de semana, por cierto. Su estilo es informal, sin manteles, pero tiene un ambiente acogedor con velas y una comida excelente. Ambos tuvimos incendiadas noche caballa última además tenía bacalao con costra de hierbas en caldo delicioso y mi pareja tenía un bavette. Ambos eran dos de las mejores cosas que he comido en un mes (y comer al menos una vez a la semana, a menudo en el centro de Londres). Como hay actualmente un 20 libras por 3 campos ofrecen para enero también tuvimos un postre y queso. Los 3 campos normalmente suman hasta 30 libras. Si no has probado los alimentos hechos a mano y luego sin duda ve ahora para aprovechar la oferta y ver lo que piensa. Usted no será decepcionado. Reserve en línea o dejar un mensaje telefónico indicando sus requisitos preferido. Si no oír entonces la reserva es confirmada. A veces son demasiado ocupados para contestar el teléfono (mi única queja pero suave). Durante el día disfrute de la comida de la cafetería o comprar comida de buena calidad delicatessen para comer en casa. Muy buen café. Pd: No estoy seguro de por qué el título de la imagen unidos es medio oriental. Aunque sin duda no es se enorgullecerían ottolenghi algunas de las ensaladas. está muy bien sazonado simplemente comida casera que permite los ingredientes para brillar.

Tuvimos una comida excelente en este pequeño restaurante local. Es muy recomendable para la calidad ecológica de la comida y los vinos. Está bien de precio para una gran cocina moderna

We tried this cafe for brunch and will definitely be going back regularly. The coffee is the best I’ve had in London and the food is exceptional. They take pride in their good wholesome organic produce and quality is second to none. It’s not cheap though but well worth it!

This is a lovely little place and the staff are lovely and want you to be here. I love the food and the ambience is lovely. Its set in a lovely little village and you can sit outside in the summer....yes its got it all. Good food and great service.

Went for dinner with my husband for a quick bite to eat and a bottle of wine. The food was tasty as always, fresh and well presented but the portions of my main was really disappointing. I ordered mozzarella arancini with green vegetables. I saw the table next to ours having the same and it looked tasty. When my plate arrived I was disappointed to see that my portion was half of what was presented to others, lots of greens and one little arancini ball. The other plates had at least 2 on. When I mentioned to the manager that I was expecting to see more on the plate he just smiled and walked away. The bill was presented and my main was billed at a full price of £14.5 for what basically was a plate of veg. It is a shame as I have always loved this place but I will now think twice before going back.

Nos detuvimos en un café y snack bar, pedí un pastel de canela y con un rollo de salchichas y un televisor blanco americano. El café estaba delicioso y muy bien hecho. Pastel de canela era muy húmeda y sabrosa, que a menudo puede ser seco y más endulzados, así que este fue un auténtico lujo. Rollo de salchichas también era excelente, hermosa pastelería que era dorada y crujiente. Lo único que detiene a este ser de cinco estrellas es el poco de servicio estándar, con ser claro cómo pedir y elementos que olvidado por los servidores. Por lo demás, es un lugar encantador para visitar.

Comida hechas a mano se ha transformado en un destino perfecto para una comida en el sureste de Londres. Siempre ha sido famoso por su deliciosa comida deli, pero ahora ha sido tomado por varias muescas y se ha convertido en un destino para los amantes de la comida y el vino que buscan que la mágica combinación de comidas íntimas, relajado, un servicio cálido y amable y la comida es excelente.

The hawk and I decided to visit a new area of london and landed in black Heath - we found the cafe hand made food - award winning for wedding catering and we had such a super light lunch of sumptuous salads and an amazing pie - we both shared and followed by cake and coffee coming to about twenty pounds . As usual it's the staff that also makes the place and they were all so lovely and helpful - small downstairs and some chairs outside but also has seating upstairs . Worth a visit before a walk on the Heath ...

Nuestra última noche en Londres no podría encontrar una mejor ubicación. Este pequeño restaurante ofrece buena comida en un ambiente íntimo de la habitación que daba a la calle. El personal es amable y servicial y que conocia perfectamente de lo que sirven. Sr. Mano es un lugar principal" de la casa".

We had lunch here. The decor is lovely, quirky and easy on the eye. while you are waiting for the food to come to the table you get tempted with all the beautifully wrapped and delicious looking produce sold on the shelves here. The hand made chocolate is very good.

Visited Hand Made Food on a Sunday afternoon for brunch and the food was amazing! Instead of the brunch menu, we chose from the selection of food on display which they plate up after you choose. Everything was so tasty but the aubergines were to die for. The prosecco they serve is also very tasty for only £5 a glass. They also sell well priced wines in the shop. We sat outside and everything was perfect!

Definitely the best coffee shop in blackheath village! The staff are really friendly and the coffee is great. They also sell Adams Cinnamon Buns which are insanely good!!!

Last night my wife and I had trouble with our car and whilst waiting for the RAC to come we said we would like a coffee to pass the time. We chose this restaurant and would like to say a massive thank you to the management/staff for all their help, kindness and understanding. They said we could stay as long as we liked and offered us other drinks and even to charge our phone if needed. There was no pressure we found their attitude most refreshing and restored our faith in human kindness. So if you're in Blackheath and would like a meal/drink, call in and be well looked after.

We decided early evening to go for dinner and Hand Made Food managed to squeeze us in later in the evening. It is very relaxed cafe style eating, but with nice touches and a happy vibe all around. It is good, honest homely environment with classy food and prompt service.We started with salted cod fritters and a poached egg and black pudding salad to start. Both were very good, even if the friendly staff brought the black pudding one minute after the rest of the salad. Somehow this just wasn't a problem when everyone was this friendly, honest, professional and the food so good. Then came the mains (monkfish and pea and broad bean arancini). Both very good. Finally we shared a lovely pannacotta. Wine is also reasonably priced and the overall meal was very good value for the quality. A great option for local eating in the heart of Blackheath.

Everything a neighbourhood deli/cafe/restaurant should be.Blackheath is so lucky to have it, with local chef/patron Guy Awford turning it into a casual destination stop.Super service from smiley Emily one recent Saturday morning, and a bacon 'n' egg sarnie packed with bacon.Plus...the coffee is delicious.

lovely little place. I had a beautiful roast squash salad with feta, mint & pomegranate. the price was by weight. I also had a coffee to go which was nice too.

I love everything about this place, food always fresh good quality. Breakfast,lunch and dinner, I have tried the lot and always very good. Staff polite and welcoming,lovely Mano knows his wines, service with a smile! Best place for foodies in Blackheath,thoroughly recommend.

Had lunch at Hand Made Food today but won't be going back, food looks and indeed tastes good but portions are very mean! When we queried why our chopped salad portions were so small the waitress replied that it was a 100g portion- you don't get much cucumber, tomato, onion and pepper for a 100g! So £4 for a tiny bit of salad seemed very steep!

I'm all for supporting independent but it's this sort of pretentious establishment that makes it impossible and why chains, which serve better coffee, do so well.

Cosy setting, friendly efficient but unobtrusive service and most importantly great food and a good choice of organic wine. I think this could be a regular venue when staying in Blackheath.

A fab deli during the day but now open for dinner bookings. Been here a few times. Never full and I am not sure why as the food is really good, the service is always good and the wine is really good. There are lots of restaurants in Blackheath but not many have really good food - this does.

I'm a real coffee lover and Hand Made Food is in my top 3 in London. The staff are really friendly and the variety and quality of the home made organic food is srcond to none. Every time I visit there is a new dish to try and I've never been disappointed with my choice. Cooked breakfast or croissant on s lazy weekend morning is a must, you'll want to come back as often as you can. Give it a try and you'll understand why I took the time to write a review.

Honestly, I would go there as much as I can, and is always mine & my partners 1st choice for brunch/lunch on days off. The staff are so unbelievably lovely, caring and know their stuff! The food is always amazing, and so much choice if you are vegetarian too. wholesome, healthy feel good food! Would totally recommend the fish cakes, risotto balls, the MOCHAs (best mocha i have EVER had) and any combination of vegetables! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Oh, and if you drink alcohol, they serve an beautiful hangover free organic Prosecco!

Nice little lunch spot - lots of different salad options to choose from and some lovely little pies and pastries. Introduced me to Homity Pie, which has become a firm favourite to make at home.

What strikes me most of all about Hand Made Foods is the quality of the food they make. I have been there many times and never tire of their humous or chicken dishes or the red cabbage slaw and the coffee is good too. In the evening they have a more elaborate menu which is equally fine. The sell a wise range of specially chosen wines and cheeses to take away. Their staff are relaxed and helpful and friendly. Great place.

In hindsight I was surprised at how empty it was as the food was good. I suspect it's because not many people even realize they served dinner as they have a thriving day time cafe and deli business.The decor is slightly odd downstairs as you are sitting in a deli surrounded by jars of Jam etc. Though it adds to the charm and certainly makes it unique, I hope it continues to be an open plan relaxed eatery and doesn't try to chase a star or become more formal.The service is very good and they are genuinely happy to see you and have a really relaxed atmosphere with the waiters very chatty and always have a smile, though the music needs to be turned up a little.There is a set menu which changes every week so you are guaranteed fresh and seasonal ingredients. The food was well made and presented well, though if I'm being very picky the food was slightly under seasoned. However the fish was perfectly done. From the two menus I saw there tends to be a chocolate dessert option so they can't really go wrong. However I would say it was a little overpriced, I understand why, as there are not many covers in the restaurant so to break even the prices must be higher. I think they could fit in a few more tales downstairs and try to fill it every night. Though for a three course set menu to be £29.50 they are pushing on the door and competing with central London Michelin star set menu prices, so I do think they need to bring it down slightly to make sure the restaurant is always full. The wine list is good and they only serve organic wines which are very good, though they say you can take them home too and have a separate price on the wine list for it. Each wine is £10 cheaper to take out, I reckon it's probably a good idea to take away that part as it simply shows your corkage fee which would annoy most people and I can't see that many people taking them up on the takeaway wine.Overall good and would return due to the good service and the seasonal food, though I think this kind of relaxed style dining in a unique setting would really suit a tapas style menu which friends can eat with a few glasses of wine.

Mano and team served up a marvellous birthday meal for me last night. We all enjoyed fabulous food, wine and a great atmosphere. The room was perfect, quaint and quirky. Our party was large enough to allow us to try the whole menu and everybody was extremely complementary - in particular the rump steak, the cheese and the bread and butter pudding got rave reviews from my guests. Thank you to everyone for making it a very special evening.

Having tasted their deli offering, we decided to visit the recently opened upstairs restaurant. It was a cold November evening, and equally as cold sitting upstairs.The very friendly waitress took our order immediately, and then began an extremely long wait.It took 40 minutes for our main courses to be served, which resulted in my wife's fish being so overcooked that she returned it. It was now too late to wait for a substitution - the manager advised another 40 minute wait!!!!! My wife now cold and hungry was not amused to be called "Darling" twice by the manager.Our Red Wine was served much too cold, the manager's explanation was that it had come straight from the cellar, and frankly, given the temperature of the room it was unlikely to warm up!. We were hugely disappointed and very unimpressed by the lack of professionalism. We will not return.

Dinner at Hand Made Food was a delight! The food was very well balanced and delicious and reasonably priced ( Tuesday night is a 'no corkage' evening!). Good, attentive service from Mano and Jonathan generating a relaxed atmosphere.

lovely fresh ingredients, great service and pleasant atmosphere. better than all the other chains in Blackheath!

Breakfast was lovely, fresh ingredients and cooked well. Lovely staff and decent coffee. Set in a lovely location.

Popped in on the off chance just for a glass of wine and some bibles.Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and a feeling of being welcomed.Lovely cheese, olives and wine, even brought some to take home.Recommend as somewhere different to visit and enjoy.

Had dinner there recently and we enjoyed our evening very much. Atmospheric lighting, friendly service, wonderful bread and a good choice of dishes for a set menu. Only downside was the medium to rare steak was definitely really rare, but that was a minor point and one which I'm sure we could have addressed at the time if we'd have wanted to. Very nice wine selection and a bang-on dessert options left me in no doubt of giving it 5 stars.

A cozy spot with very good food and quick friendly service..A nice breakfast plus an excellent home made salad selection and good coffee..if there was a small issue it was that one salad had some cheese in it which wasn't obvious..or described ..will happily go again.

Simply great. Well prepared fresh food served with love.Have enjoyed healthy lunch options, good coffee, and excellent dinner here.Good friendly service , reluctant to share this little gem.

This really is the beating heart of good food in Blackheath. Innovative salads and fantastic quiches, sausage rolls or the humble Ham Hock. All freshly cooked.Food as it should be, honest and fresh. Well done Hand Made Food!!

Light fresh food. You can eat as little or as much as you want.Service is swift and staff very friendly and helpful.

With just over 2 weeks notice I emailed Handmade Foods to ask if there was any possibility that they could host an intimate dinner party for 20 guests to celebrate my brother's wedding. Luckily for us Doug & Joey's wedding was on a Tuesday and the restaurant part of the business was only open Wed-Sun evenings.Sam replied saying that they would love to look after our celebration and from then on it seemed to me that nothing was too much trouble. My husband and I have eaten in the restaurant here once before and we've bought from the cafe. We love the quirky feel to the place. The upstairs comprises of 2 quite small rooms with unvarnished farmhouse type tables and boho decor. I'm a small business person and what I really like about this place is that 'small business' feel which is so much friendlier than the corporate feel of a chain restaurant.I met with Sam just 6 days before the wedding to decide on the menu...we had 1 coeliac guest, 1 vegan, 1 vegetarian, 1 who only eats fish and one who doesn't eat fish in our party of 20. I mentioned a few things that I thought would be nice and Sam said he'd meet with the chef the next day and come up with some suggestions by email.The suggested menu was imaginative and carefully chosen. There were a few ingredients that I wanted omitted/changed and the chef came back with alternative suggestions that were spot on.The final menu was:Starter:Peperonata (roasted peppers, tomato and red onion) with burrata and foccacia crostini - this will be served without burrata for vegan and without crostini for coeliacMains:Slow roast shoulder of lamb with chickpea and saffron puree, cavolo nero and redcurrants.Monkfish with an olive oil mash, samphire, leeks and a bay velouteVegan: Chestnut, artichoke and parsnip ragout Pudding:Almond panna cotta with blackberries and a shortbread crumb Vegan/Veggie/Gluten Free: Poached pear with pistachio pralineOn the night:I'd dropped off the wedding cake, table decorations, place settings and the 24 bottles of wine & champagne (the restaurant would have happily provided the organic wines that they serve but they kindly agreed to allow us to bring our own for a very reasonable corkage of £10 per bottle opened. My husband is interested in wine and keen to choose our own non-organic! lol).I wanted plenty of time for everyone to mingle and chat before our meal so asked for the first small room to be the reception area. From 7.30pm for an hour guests arrived and were offered champagne and canapes by the lovely James.Mano was the manager looking after us for the evening. Sam (who I'd had contact with up to the night) sensitively said that 'Mano would be there to make sure that we get all of "Handmade Food's love and care". It was intuitive of him to speak like this and showed his professionalism and understanding of his clients! He immediately put me at ease. And he was quite right, Mano was lovely and seamlessly took over from Sam.They had a bluetooth speaker for me to play our wedding playlist through for the pre & post dinner mingle time and had displayed the cake and flowers beautifully with fresh candles (I hadn't asked for them and was delighted). They had even written a sweet message on their quirky brown paper roll hung on the reception wall (see pic)!Canapes:Orange and beetroot cured salmon on crostini - in baby gem for gluten freeSweet potato fritter with chilli and coriander - this is vegan and made with gram flour so also gluten free.Then we moved into the front room for the meal. The food was really really good. I read a press review that said it's like really good homecooked food and that's spot on (well it was for my - my husband is an excellent cook!)The bread was very nice, sour dough I think. The butter was interesting and nice - it was clarified and had a flavour that I can't put my finger on. The roast pepper salad was lovely and everyone seemed to think so - at anyrate it was all eaten!I had lamb for my main and it was really really good. Better/more interesting than I expected actually. It was slow cooked with moroccan type spices and the chickpea puree was yum. They had suggested a hot mint sauce but I thought redcurrants would be nicer and they were just right. I was delighted to hear guests on the table behind using words like 'delicious'.I tried a bit of my brother's monkfish which was also lovely.Pudding was perfectly light (we still had cake to come!) and just right. Crumbled shortbread with blackcurrants and almond panna cotta. I didn't try the pear dessert but it looked pretty. Overall it was a wonderful celebration and a big big part of that is down to Sam, Mano, James and the chefs (whose names I don't know) at Handmade Foods.The price was basically the price for the 3 course meals - so £29.95 per head plus the corkage and around £4 per head for the 2 canapes each. No charge for room hire or the extra touches and 'love' that the business gave us. I couldn't be happier and neither could the Groom & Groom. I'm wondering when I can next have a dinner party at Handmade Foods and we will certainly be eating there often.

Lovely staff in a great environment. Fresh made delights. Caring about customers really does work. On my list on every visit

Small menu but a lot of effort appears to have gone into the flavours of the food. The ingredients used were deliciously, fresh and clean. We had a lovely meal and can't wait to return. Staff were extremely friendly and attentive.

Rustic, good food and great coffee.The only downside is the slow service considering how many members of stff they have

The place is cosy and casual, felt very nice and relaxing to sit downstairs.the staff were all very friendly and smiley, looks like a place where everyone is happy to work.The lady that served was very welcoming and cheerful, 10 out of 10 for her.Unfortunalty some of the food was not as great as the service. We ordered lamb special and roast gammon with a selection of salads. The lamb.... which was not the greatest dish, mince lamb sauted with onions and cumin, served in some flat bread, the dish felt a bit grainy, maybe the cumin spices wasnt cooked out properly and was oilly, just felt like it was an unfinished dish. Maybe with a bit of tatziki or hummus or even a light tomato sauce to cut through the oil.The gamon and salad... salads looked, tasted and felt fresh, could have done with a bit of seasoning. gammon was cooked perfect, tasty and not dry.

A find. Set on 2 floors. Low key. Dress how you want. # starters. 3 mains. 3 desserts all very well prepared.Sour dough bread by Adam at The Little Bread Pedlar with Applebey's Cheshire whey butter. Excellent.Chargrilled squid with sardinian fregola and gremolata. Fresh and inventive.Marinated artichoke, pepper & tomatoe, local ricotta, lemon oil and herb crumbs. Well balanced and delicate.Chargrilled lamb, chickpea and saffron puree, baby spinach and hot mint sauce was even better than it sounded. Lamb charred though soft and delicate inside. Geberous puree. Tangy real mint sauce.Flourless chocolate and almond cake perfectly flavoured though a tad dry. Creme fraiche and a good icing made an well balanced accompaniement.Eton Mess was delicate. Not overwhelmed with cream and the meringue wasn't chalky but rather slightly crisp and with the smallest chewiness: quite perfect. Good tea and coffee followed.Good cheese selection too.

A short walk from Blackheath station is the recently refurbished HMF. Lunch was very good. I had quiche, salad, a jumbo tomato and a slice of tasty bread. This was followed by an excellent cheese selection. To drink a large glass of white wine. All the food was fresh and tasty. Photos included. Recommended.

I have been coming here since they opened in the old format, now refreshed and a new offer I have enjoyed the food for a very long time BUT TODAY>>>>> LOVELY FRESH INGREDIENTS - beautifully cooked and prepared, BUT dealing with an order for 3 of us was chaotic! Having placed an order there were numerous rechecks and price corrections. I had explained my wheat, oats, barley gluten etc allergy in great detail! I also explained how ill these allergens made me! The food then arrived mixed up with 2 of my items touching wheat products! One drink was not confirmed on the order and so did not arrive, despite me asking for it at the time of placing the order! Wine was absolutely delicious, I would have liked to order more sparking water, but as the first order had proved so difficult we decided not to bother! Went elsewhere for desert! Fennel salad was exceptionally good, but when you are tired after a hard week at work, relaxation is essential for a Saturday lunch! Also felt it was rather expensive for the quantity and dwell time for the meal. QUALITY however is superb!

We went to a great opening night here a good few months ago and had a great evening with quality food from a small but well constructed menu with well sourced quality ingredients. Great flavours and a choice of a two or three course dining experience in a Wednesday to Saturday. Good wines all reasonably priced. £75-90 for 2 with wine. Want something different give it a go.
