The Crane Wandsworth in Wandsworth

Have always liked the place but just wanted to share an awful experience. We were sitting outside and moved the table under the shade as it was a hot day and had a newborn with us. We went inside to order and the person at the till was very annoyed that we moved the table, even though I assured him we would move the table back when we were done. He said he can only give us takeaway to which we agreed. When I started telling him what I wanted he disappeared to the kitchen huffing and puffing and returned to tell us he cannot serve us. We left and he followed us angrily to move the table back. Awful awful experience- will not be returning any time soon.

Today today I went to buy this ice cream without ice cream 😅 a girl with french accent gave me this. Very disappointed, This is not what I expect from an Italian ice cream!

Such a lovely independent place, amazing atmosphere, lovely people, authentic French cuisine. We had a private event for my sister’s birthday and they made everything so easy and relaxed. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Great place, with great food and even better staff François and Ocea have been amazing very attentive and made the experience that much better. Will definitely be back.

I came in to the alchemist after having a really bad day but Frankie one of the servers gave me really kind words and made my day so much better and brighter! I would come back to the alchemist just on how lovely and kind Frankie was … thank you so much for making my day better and the amazing drinks!!
