Putney Pantry in Wandsworth

I was genuinely delighted to learn that Putney library has launched a new snack bar. I had the pleasure of enjoying a hot chocolate made by a young gentleman, who skillfully prepared it to perfection—not too sweet—and even included a lovely design. This enhancement to the library's, services that brings me considerable happiness.

Lovely welcome. Sad the sausage rolls had ran out as they are delicious so not surprised. Offered different types of tea and ordered two very tasty sandwiches. Service was friendly and very welcoming. Looking forward to another visit.

very pleased with service hear, all staff very kind!

I stopped off here for coffee, tea and some water as was doing a long run to work and was really struggling. What I got was good tea, coffee and cake as well as excellent friendly service. Thank you Monica 😊

It's a Cafe that offers value for money

I could not be more grateful for the team at Putney Pantry for their support last week. Myself and about 12 colleagues did a charity walk from tower bridge - Richmond and chose Putney Pantry as our lunch stop. The team took our pre order and had all sandwiches ready to go, pre wrapped as soon as we turned up and they were DELICIOUS. Thank you so much.

Never fails to satisfy. Always a pleasure.

Our friend, Rod invited us to a celebratory set lunch at Putnry Pantry on 5th May. Putney Pantry is normally an informal ground floor cafe, adjacent and linked to St Mary's Putney. However, for more formal dining and for parties, they can use an upstairs dining room - which is spacious and bright, with seating for about 60 guests. Our lunch gathering was in the upstairs room and there were about 40 of us dining. Guests could choose from 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 desserts - all of which sounded wonderful, with a French accent - and turned out to be excellent! I had Jerusalem artichoke soufflé, chicory and walnut salad for starters. The soufflé (an ambitious dish for a set meal), turned out to be light, fluffy, well risen and very tasty - I loved it! The accompanying leaves were crunchy, vibrant and fresh and I could have made a meal out of them on their own! My friend enjoyed Crab and celeriac milles feuilles, Melba toast, watercress salad - tasty fresh crab in light pastry. On to the main dish. I chose Beef Wellington, wilted greens, smoked potato puree, shallot and garlic confit. The Wellington was well executed: tender beef surrounded by a melt-in-the-mouth pastry and the accompanying veg made for a delicious ensemble. My friend went for the Monkfish bourride, tender stem broccoli and samphire, saffron aioli. Th monkfish was beautifully cooked and the veg very fresh and clearly top quality. Dessert did not disappoint. The Pear Frangipane with vanilla ice cream was rich, light and tasty - a fine end to the meal and the Glazed lemon tart, raw honey crème fraiche was nicely balanced with good texture - 'yummy'! The service was efficient and unobtrusive and it all looked very professional and friendly. Congratulations to Chef Issa. I am thinking of doing another exciting culinery based event there with him in the near future.

An excellent cafe in the heart of Putney. My partner and I had sandwiches and were very impressed by the presentation and taste of the food. The cafe has a very nice ambiance and the staff were helpful.

This must be one of the little gems in Putney. Away from the noise and bustle of the high street and independent cafe. The food is freshly prepared by an enthusiastic team. They have many years experience and know their customers well. This is not a fast food place so stop and enjoy the experience along with others who also have time. Coffee is always excellent. Brunch is worth waiting for. Occasionally they hold special occasion meals, definitely a treat.

Decent cafe attached to church, good selection of food. Probably does around 30 people at a time.

Delicious coffee and wonderful barista Charles

The best coffee shop in Putney. Wonderful staff.Emidio.

Great food, great, service. Spoiled a bit by screaming women on the large table behind. Much better last year on a quieter day.

Unfortunately we will not be going back to Putney Pantry despite them doing a good breakfast. - During a previous recent visit, we asked for eggs to be scrambled not fried, which they said they could not do (despite not being that busy) - we asked for the fried eggs to be well done and they arrived runny. - The door always sticks open which makes it freezing in winter and noisy due to traffic - The last few times we have been they have played rock or rap music too loud, which as well as seeming out of place considering they're attached to a church (and I say that as an atheist), was just not nice to listen to over Sunday brunch All those things by themselves aren't much but this morning's visit combined with them is what made the decision for us: - It was ridiculously noisy. There was a church service/event finishing up and the amount of families who seems to go in and out of Putney Pantry several times back and forth or use it as a gathering spot was excessive. On top of that there were several kids running around and sliding about on their knees, swinging between vacant tables. That is not directly Putney Pantry's fault of course but if they are going to be a way into and out of the church and charge people to each there, its reasonable for paying customers not to want to to be a total zoo. None of the parents seemed interested in controlling their children. - There was a dog that simply would not stop barking at the next table. Whether you agree with dogs in restaurants or not, that is really anti-social and seemed to be acceptable. We don't expect to eat in silence but between the dog and the families back and forth, the noise was awful - When the food arrived, it was meat breakfasts not the vegetarian we had ordered. Some of it arrives on separate plates and we had to ask for all of it to be taken away and replaced, as some was left on the table initially - We decided to ask for a refund so we could leave, while we got one, it was a bit of a faff The staff were polite and apologetic about bringing the wrong food but overall a Sunday brunch should be a nice experience, not the mess that it was this morning. Unfortunately we have decided we won't be going back again. A shame as the food is good and the adjoining church is lovely, even if you're not religious.

We used the Putney Pantry for our wedding catering, including working with the team to create our own menu. The team were great to work with, very organised on the day and the food was delicious!

A friendly and modern community cafe and restaurant.

It's £9.50 for two burnt and oily pancakes. The staff were nice and the place overall has a good vibe. I wanted pancakes locally and was pretty disappointed.

Food was very nice, definitely fresh ingredients and cooked well, but it was a little bland, seasoning wise.

Great food and nice staff. Will definitely visit them again.

This spot is great for a delicious cup of latte and breakfast. This has been my 5th or 6th visit between all of my visits to the U.K. The food is good and the atmosphere is very cozy. The staff has always been accommodating, and not just to me, but everyone I've watched them interact with during their visit.

I love going in here, friendly staff, fresh food prepared by a top chef (Issa) and lot's of history. Really feel part of the local area with so many different groups using the space, oh and great cake :) Go relax and avoid the hustle and bustle, support local. P.s. you can even get a glass of wine at the end of the night too.

Overpriced, ordered an omlette and coke and paid ten pounds, salad was sparse and mushroom were countable, they charge for each additional item so could end up paying 15 pounds for an omlette, a joke

Cute little cafe in the church. Recom Aztec Chocolate. Will try the Sunday roast next time.

Almost £5 for a small tart a and £8 for cheese toasty not conducive to a church led operation in hard times! Never got the toasty as ran out of time after 20 minutes and no explanation why such simple choice would take so long. Coffee good

Les employés sont au top l’accueil parfaite les plats sont délicieux je recommande vivement

Great coffee, really enjoyed my banana bread cupcake!

I had the pancakes. Delicious. Nice chilled out place.

Not a nice experience. I visited this place with my friend and when we entered we got approached by a person asking what do we need. When we replied that we would like to get breakfast this person told us that we will have to go somewhere else because they have some program going on soon in the church. I looked around and the place was filled with people eating and drinking. We asked if we can join for the service and were told it’s not possible. Not sure why because it was a normal Sunday service but we then apologised and asked if we can get a coffee to go. This person very annoyingly replied to go across the street to some coffee shop if we want a coffee and took us to the main door. Never understood the situation but didn’t want to create any drama in such a lovely place that was filled with people enjoying their Sunday morning. But definitely won’t come again. Thank you.

Being spoilt for choice and wanting to support local small business, we chose not to have breakfast at our hotel, but rather explore Putney. Came across the Putney Pantry and what a find! Lovely menu, food was freshly cooked to order, great selection and delicious. Staff were warm, friendly and welcoming - and nice touch of humour. Was lovely to have a leisurely breakfast watching the world go by. Will definitely be back when visit London again.

I am a regular here and really rate the owner and his great menu and food. However, today I came in for a simple order: Two poached eggs on a slice of sourdough with some wilted spinach. It took nearly 30 mins to arrive when the cafe wasn’t busy. The toast was dry and unbuttered (when it had been on a previous occasion) and it cost me £9. The rest of the meal was fine. The quality of food and service are usually fine, so I was disappointed today. I know I have to pay more now due to inflation but it’s frustrating when service is slow and the delay is not acknowledged by the server. I felt overcharged.

The food is great here, really nicely cooked breakfasts and a range of coffee shop pastries and snacks. Service has always been good.

Doing much better than when we last reviewed. Cleaner and easier for wheelchair access, but still slow service and only average quality of good. None the less we still love coming here.

Lovely coffee cafe, friendly staff.

Had lunch here last Wednesday. Fabulous service, all food piping hot and delicious. Would definitely visit here again. Thank you 😋😋

Food and potatoes in dish were absolutely cold and not even worth to look at so please don’t waste your time money on this restaurant

Cute little cafe serving loads of choice including vegan and vegetarian options

Had a really lovely vegan breakfast with a side of bacon. Staff were knowledgeable about food allergens and even provided gluten free toast. Everything felt home cooked and I recommend for a nice spot to watch the world go by. The only thing I didn’t like was the band practice happening upstairs was a little on the loud side for my hangover but otherwise I’ll definitely be back!

Unassuming little cafe adjoining a church - the food was delicious, I couldn't recommend it more. Excellent sausage sandwiches and pancakes. The pricing is very reasonable which is an added bonus.

i dont understand how my bacon sandwich was both greasy and dry at the same time but congratulations you managed it

Church cafe with art and ambience

Lovely food and really welcoming

Great food. Lady serving alway cheerful and hrlpful.

My wife and myself - together a visiting family member - were looking for somewhere on Putney High St to have a tasty snack earlier today and settled on the Putney Pantry which is an integral part of St Mary’s Church. We all settled for the Soup of the Day (Pumpkin with a blend of spice) which was served with some fresh bread and was very tasty. There were also a good range of other tempting dishes available and not difficult, therefore, to see why it is such a popular eatery. Another bonus is the ability to not only have a look around the impressive St Mary’s Church but to see the interesting Putney Debates 1647 Exhibition!

Delicious fresh food and coffee!

A place of deliciousness and beverages, with adaquate facilities.

Very friendly crowd , staff awesome and environment impeccably clean!

Had pancakes and Avocado on toast and a flat white. My daughter loved the pancakes and I loved the avocado on toast. Very friendly staff and good coffee.

Delicious food & coffee, and friendly helpful service ☕👌

I love this place! Issa is a talented chef and Monika and the team give such a warm welcome and great service. Perfect for brunch, lunch and afternoon tea and cake. I recommend their special evenings where they produce top quality food at very reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Nice little cafe near Pitney Bridge, no frills but good drinks and a range of food. Worthy trying. Rather than a multinational

Quiet with friendly staff and lovely food. Attached to the church with a fascinating history.

Decent little café. I'd recommend the simple stuff. The full English and BLT looked much nicer than the eggs benedict. Nice flat white and good service.

A nice little cafe attached to a church in Putney. Has a classic cafe feel with a counter with cakes, tarts, and other things. A very open a light space. The staff were friendly, but the service was a little slow. The food was great though. Well seasoned and tasty. All very fresh and great portion sizes. Good value and charming.

this may just have been the best fish and chips of all times. lovely venue and very kind staff.

Takeaway. Decent hot coffee and an American pancake with bacon and maple syrup.

Really lovely place for a coffee with friends or around a baby class with families. The tea is reasonably priced and there’s a delicious Aztec hot chocolate that is really worth a try. The service is always lovely and they are so friendly, a real hidden gem of a venue in Putney.

A friend and I visited on a Saturday morning during lockdown and ordered a veggie breakfast, eggs royale and the American style pancakes. Although there was a bit of a wait as the kitchen was quite busy that morning- the food was really great and I would certainly visit again. Really good quality ingredients, very well prepared and with generous portions.

Amazing food, friendly staff and great ambience!! Highly recommended. Brilliant chef. Must experience if in Putney!

Brilliant place....great food and drinks, lovely setting and fab staff.

Very nice place with kind and helpful stuff. We took Eggs Royal which was very delicious. Will come back when next time I'm around. 👍

Great cafe which is attached to the church but so far no-one has tried to convert us - although their great brunch and homemade cakes might succeed! Seating inside and out is well spaced and staff are very pleasant. More seating outside might be worth looking at (if they're allowed to spread a little further) because several people walked away due to a lack of available tables. Also worth looking inside the church as there's a small historical exhibition about the history of Putney which is fascinating. Interesting architecture and layout inside the church as well.

Issa, that was, almost certainly, the best fish and chips supper we have ever had! Wonderfully cooked - the fish tender, the batter light the chips suitably chunky and the mushy peas...... extraordinary. Thank you so much and we'll definitely be repeating the order next week.

I reviewed PUTNEY PANTRY October 2018 - was there in person. Have not had opportunity to return in person - (I live in Israel); I MUST write an UPDATE, however! My brother & sis-in-law - who live in Putney - are frequent customers - and - in this world lockdown period - have been able to receive occasional deliveries.........My brother has a very special Birthday.....how to?... what to?.....frustration? Then - a light-bulb hit (metaphorically!).......I called ISSA - the chef and "boss" of PUTNEY PANTRY.....and worked out - with his help - a very special & crafted menu - with wine! It was delivered - personally - yesterday.......brother is AMAZED & THRILLED! The food is sooo very good....Cordon Bleu home-cooking....their savoury tarts; salmon fish-cakes; jacket potatoes......bread & butter pudding, pear frangipane tart.......luscious....all really gourmet cooking to enjoy! Can recommend - thoroughly 100%.......Issa's personal help was also 100%.....can't wait to get back there.....enjoy!

The Putney Pantry in St. Mary's Church next to Putney Bridge was already an outstanding and memorable establishment serving more than just the community: Chef Issa and his crew have now excelled themselves in these challenging times under the influence of the Corona Virus and serve Gourmet Star award winnig dishes - daily - to the community. My wife and I had a full Sunday Lunch including dessert and afternoon tea with scones, jam and cream serving demanding palets and eyes. If you live in this part of the world - my recommendaion: It is woth the while trying.

I had a full vegetarian english breakfast with coffee here, and it was really nice. Kind staff and good facilities

Fantastic place to have a nitro to est. Food is fantastic.

Super friendly and helpful staff, great location and spacious seating area.

Tables could be little cleaner but nice coffee and service

This place is a genuine miracle in a big City. The food is simple but perfect in every way, just like your mother used to make. The young staff are smiley, friendly and really care that you are happy. They could teach other restaurants a thing or two about service! This reflects in the customers, who are also unusually friendly and helpful. Cynic in general - I cannot praise this place highly enough. Thank you for making my day.

Horrible place never again The food took too long and was cold disgusting place From the table I saw 2 rat in the kitchen This place should be close

Just had a coffee there today. Will try the food next time. Nice place and friendly staff.

Decent range of cakes and Snacks. A bit pricey. Pleasant decor.

I really liked the setting of the place in the church. The food was really great! I was really happy to find great vegan English breakfast on the menu! The coffee was also one of the best I’ve had in London. It’s definitely a great brunch option I’d recommend.

Nice and cosy. Enough space for kids to play. A bit chilly.

Meet a friend here on a regular basis, lovely setting with views through the inside doors to the adjoining beautiful church, glass front, light and airy, friendly welcoming staff. Had the best bacon sandwich last week!

Cosy place. Nice coffee and assortment of cakes

Nice kids. Nice food. Nice place

Used to be one of our favourite places, until I got gone off vegetables in my sandwich. Today, got back after a year break and thought I could give them a second chance, but got a piece of glass/plastic in my salad :(

Had a lovely coffee and brownie sitting out in the sun watching the world go by!! Wish I had ordered the afternoon tea as it looked fab!!!

One of the best cups of tea I've had in a long time. Massive breakfast/brunch selection and reasonable value.

Excellent cafe! Delicious Welsh rate bit and ice coffee.

La despensa está muy bien ubicada en el extremo de Putney del puente de Putney y forma parte de la encantadora calle Mary's Church. Mi esposa discapacitada y yo hemos sido visitantes habituales, a menudo visitamos el área para tomar un café. La despensa se cerró recientemente durante algunas semanas, pero ahora está abierta para los negocios. Hoy volvimos a llamar y estaba tan ocupado como siempre, pero el servicio fue especialmente lento (más lento de lo habitual). Lo más perturbador fue cuán sucia era la suciedad de los muebles: raída, cubierta de polvo y marcas de dedos sucios. Claramente no se ha limpiado durante algún tiempo y se ve muy descuidado. Mientras allí, un cliente le devolvió la comida porque no estaba contento con ella. No es el lugar más barato en Putney, y como parte de la iglesia, debe intensificarse.La nueva disposición de los muebles necesita una revisión, tuvimos que hacer que otros clientes movieran sus sillas y pertenencias para que pasaran las sillas de ruedas.

Beautiful place next to the church.nice coffee and staff.

My favourite cafe to visit in Putney

A pleasant cafe adjoining a church, with efficient staff and service. Dropping one star for the draught which made the window seats chilly.

Chill out atmosphere in this Cafe on the side entrance of the church. Polite service, and reasonably priced items.

Had breakfast here during a recent visit to London. Lovely place by the Thames staff very helpful and welcoming we were part of a large family group with a small child. Would recommend.

Tutaj mozna bardzo smacznie i tanio zjesc posilek, jest mila obsluga.Mozna takze sie pomodlic bo kosciol jest caly czas otwarty.

We needed a snack before going back to our hotel to get ready to go out. We had a scone with clotted cream and a chicken sourdough sandwich. The choice of teas is extensive, the service friendly and atmosphere very welcoming.

Cute place attached to the church. Good sandwich cheerful service

Friendly people, delightful polenta cake, and fine teas, with large 'proper' tea bags Only slight moan was that we had to wait after official opening time for the church to empty before they could start serving. Then , of course, there was a huge queue

Fabulous breakfast and coffee. Mike

Fuimos a tomar un brunch el domingo por la noche.

I stop off at Putney Pantry, every Wednesday, on my way to Croydon.

Absolutely loved this place! Child friendly too.

Great food with vegetarian and vegan choices

Pleasant, helpful staff, and I can heartily recommend their lemon and polenta cake.

Very friendly staff and lovely, homecooked food. The Peanut butter and choc chip blondes were divine!
