The Faber Fox in Lambeth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Thought I was on the wrong page when I saw the pictures here! Looks amazing as does the place itself. In reality the place was tatty, I think it doesn't bode well in a place where you eat that the walls are dirty and the plastic covered menu downright grimy. Bottle of white wine was possibly even warmer than room temperature, especially given that it was 32degrees that day. Was served in a bucket with more water than ice. When we pointed it out the member of wait staff, a pleasant person to be fair, said it had come from 'downstairs'. Not sure why they cant keep at least one of each wine in a fridge. We were given more ice for the bucket. I shared a nachos. It was fine, very light on the cheese but we were hungry so tucked in despite the sour cream looking just 'off' the texture was 'curdled' or something, a tiny sprinking of salsa maybe?. Ordered the Cesar salad because truthfully the menu was pretty limited especially for someone who only eats fish. I never thought a cesar salad could be so bad! It was as if the chef used the ends of the iceberg lettuce, there were no leaves as such. It was swimming in dressing, maybe to make up for lack of lettuce, no anchovies or peach as shown on the menu , maybe 2 croutons. The optional burrata had already been 'broken open' and was just pooling together with the awful cesar salad (maybe) dressing. Inedible and when collected by wait staff, she didn't question it. Said nothing as our friend had picked the place. Bill was £180 for 4. No wonder there was no one else eating there except for 3 guys having burger and chips! Don't waste your hard earned money people.

Fab night. Excellent beer. Food was superb. had the 5 for £25 mix. Could have eaten the pork belly all night. Great dips too and such a good local.

OMG the female bar lady was soooo miserable it was almost funny. But why work behind a bar if you clearly hate it and the people you serve? Ordered a lager and I got an IPA and a shrug. Food was nice but it all came at different times with lots of apologies. But the sports screens were aplenty and the view of London was especially good that day.

Booked a table and asked for a specific table, when my booking was accrpted I wasn’t told they couldn’t accommodate that. Arrived early and was told to fit at another table until ours was ready. That’s fine, but no one came and told us our table was ready. Had to find it ourselves and find someone to clean it. Ordered food and after more than 40 mins chased the server who said forty they were busy. That’s fine, but maybe tell us? Food arrived and 2 1/2 undercooked potatoes with a roast dinner. To top it all they then ran out of Guinness. Not a great experience to say the least!

Four Irish Rugby Fans arrived for food and drinks and of course to see the match..Staff were excellent the food wonderful and the drinks flowed well.. Pity about the result but all four loved the venue. Thanks for a great night.

The hospitality was great, but the roast was not. A few small tweaks and it could have been great, but the veg was boiled and soooo bland. Also the roast potatoes were not crispy at all and hard in the middle. Hugely disappointed for the price.

Very good. Great bar staff and whilst a ton of food not on menu, the burger was excellent as ever. Great little local and a main stay in CP

Don’t go if you’re a coeliac - ordered the gluten free Peckham Helles lager and was served a non-gluten free IPA pint. I watched it come out the right tap but knew it was the wrong drink after sipping it. The staff were not apologetic after being informed this would make me very ill and their original suggestion for the IPA appearance and smell was that the Peckham Helles keg may have been shaken. They eventually tasted and confirmed it was a non-gluten free IPA but also checked the keg connections and apparently it was connected to the right tap. Either way, it’s made me very ill and this place clearly cannot be trusted by coeliacs or gluten free people. Will advise against people going here due to this service.

Great service as always. Andy and Darren are always great. My favourite place to go each weekend as the atmophere is always great!

Andy is class and a guarantee of a class night out. He is also is v good at sports bets so if you need tips ask him

The pub! Fabulous pub in Crystal Palace, was my first time in a British pub and the choice of the place was perfect! Good vibes, good people, nice music!!! I highly recommend!!!

Great staff. Very welcoming and professional and friendly. Super cocktails and drinks. Fish and chips awas lovely as usual. Fab atmosphere and social environment. Can't wait for the summer months and days as this is one of the best places to meet and chill with friends with a super menu..maybe the vegan and gluten free options could be better; two or more choices would be nice but overall a smart place in the triangle. .

Great venue with fantastic atmosphere and the best staff ever! Would recommend 100%! Sophie and Darren brought the party for sure!

We were really unhappy with the meal this evening. They tried to charge £16 for about 8 Brussel sprouts,claiming it to be a main meal when it was just at most a slightly limp side dish. The vegetable curry was also dire and only tasted of chilli with undercooked vegetables and a soft poppadom. We ordered some cauliflower fritters which were rock solid and tasteless. They agreed to take the brussel sprouts off the bill but the waitress was clearly annoyed with us and we had miserable service after that. We won’t be returning!

Visited with family. Wonderful pub nice and clean doesn’t smell like that “usual pub smell” all staff where fantastic even whilst busy, I didn’t feel rushed. Drinks are a good price and the food was fantastic too. Have a lovely outside area too and it’s dog friendly! Will be back with my pup

The food and the drinks were great but Darren is what made my night special. He was a great host and made myself and my partner feel really special. Kizzy and Charlie were also amazing, both went above and beyond. I love this place!

been going here since its opened, lovely staff and great quality food and drinks. in a great location also

Brilliant pub for sport, great atmosphere and excellent service especially from bar staff called Andy.

Never been before and was excited to see the place. Lovely looking pub with helpful, friendly staff. Four out of five of us ordered the roast and we all felt the same disappointment. What a shame - the roast pork was like a very dry...

Great pub, good drinks amazing service from Andy and decent cocktails from Charley. I’m definitely coming back for a great venue

Great service as always and a really good selection of draught beers available. Andy was very helpful when selected drinks and can’t wIt for the next visit!

Reply nice environment friendly staff, was served by a young lady called hester who made us feel welcome, would recommend. Will definitely come back

Came in for a few drinks with friends and had a great time. Staff were all amazing but especially Darren. He was really attentive and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble! We'll definitely be back!

I came here last week and was served by a friendly server called Lauren great cocktails and place! Thank you :)

Excellent location for a great Sunday roast with a wealth of good beers on offer. A great spot for friends and family. Also has the best of the weekend sport on view and a cosy beer garden out back

Always have a great afternoon at the Faber Fox. Always very accomodating and welcoming. Friendly service and great atmosphere.

We visited last night and had the best time. Great place, lovely staff and good old school music, just what we needed! A special mention to lovely Laura who made perfect Elderflower Margaritas xx

Popped in for few drinks on Friday night, and the 2 blokes behind the bar (drew) and (Darren) gave excellent service and very welcoming and friendly, really good to see people love what they do with good music going on aswell.

It’s weird that my favourite nachos come not from a Mexican or south American restaurant but from a cosy pub in the Crystal Palace triangle. Staff are friendly and attentive. Good atmosphere even when it’s not busy (not sure how they do that) the white...

We had to wait 15 minutes for someone take our order and wait another 15 minutes for our coffee. Two girls next to us left after waiting for 10 minutes, we should have done the same. My food was just really sad, I have ordered...

Great atmosphere and friendly staff Good selection of drinks Interesting menu and food was excellent Slightly limited gluten-free options but my wife loved the GF bangers and mash

With our old haunts shut down or being renovated we took a stroll and found Faber Fox. Lovely outdoor area, great choice of beers and really friendly, efficient staff. Will definitely be our meeting place in the future. Nice burger and chips too :-)

We went in around 5, there were a few drinkers inside. We were told to choose a seat and they’d send someone over but after 15 minutes I went to the bar to order. Asked if I could order food, the guy (manager?) said yes...

The most flavoursome chicken I’ve ever tasted and the overall experience of the dish was average. The place is nice, good atmosphere with great service.

We really enjoyed our visit. We had baked camembert for our starter and then we had burgers for the main. Ingredients were fresh and cooked well. Atmosphere was nice. I would highly recommend this bar.

Had lunch here back in July with a friend and it was lovely. We ate in the garden and it was a gloriously hot summer's day. We ordered the sharing Mezze plate and apart from one or two items, the hummus and pitta bread was...

We took a chance that a table would be available. It was fairly empty, but slowly over the time we were there more people arrived. We had the 2 course Sunday roast, the calamari were described as crispy. A large portion arrived but they were...

Very disappointed with the cocktails. £18 for 2 margaritas and the margarita glasses were half filled. When I complained they were telling me that the measurements are correct.and most restaurants will use water to fill the glass. Also my fish in batter was over cooked....

Our server Lauren was excellent, she brought a positive energy and great knowledge of menu and extra. made the whole experience smooth and easy

Excellent food and atmosphere but unfortunately a very rude uncourtesy assistant manager called jazz who shouldn't be in hospitality F&b spoilt the experience

we asked the manager to call us a cab as i had lost my phone. it was raining heavily and he told us to walk to the cab rank 10 mins away. Do not drink here!

Great lunch today, first day out of lockdown! Staff well organised & friendly, nice food & excellent outdoor seating.

We had a great lunch here, we hadn't booked but they were very accommodating and got us a table in their outdoor area at the back- lovely heaters and all covered, it was a lovely atmosphere. Food was fab with great veggie options, plus service...

The food was good but it was a shame the portion of chips were small and no vegetables on the menu. Enjoyed the gin

Visited on the night before London went into lockdown for the second time. The pub has a massive garden with heaters which is perfect for catching up with friends from other households. The garden also has views of the city which looks great at night...

We booked a table for five of us to have an early dinner before the regular Sunday evening pub quiz. The pub is very good at enforcing Covid measures. So, masks on and then scan either the NHS app or, if you've not downloaded that,...

Great place, loved every minute of it, lovely food and a great selection of beers and cocktails, you guys made my girlfriend s birthday a special one. Thanks Jazz and team, keep strong

I went yesterday with my partner and we really had a nice time, the food was good and the staff was friendly, we’ll definitely go back again for a quick dinner, the sticky toffee was very good and they had alcohol free options which I...

I have to give this low mark as they use the practice of coming to the table with your bill, then immediately giving you the card machine, thereby prompting you to pay straight away without the chance to go over the bill to check it....

Beautiful garden, friendly staff and great selection of drinks. Decor is so funky. Great COVID regulations felt safe, we just love it here

Best nachos I have ever had. The garden is pretty and comfortable. The service is fast and friendly. The white wine was chilled (Unlike in so many other places) Corona- wise, it feels safe. Highly recommended, I will be coming back again soon. Folks! They...

I visited here with 3 of my friends post lockdown. Lovely atmosphere but shocking service and attitude from staff. Very average, tasteless food! Would recommend, but only if you are happy to wait 40 minutes for a drink and to pay £15 for basic food

Attended for work bday lunch Very nice and relaxed environment and decor. Service was very good with the waitress feeling with us all in order. Not as busy within but service on point I ordered caesar salad and fries which went down well. A hot...

We had a great brunch at the Faber Fox on Sunday, a family group of 4 plus young puppy! The food was very tasty, the staff were very friendly and responsive. Nice, relaxed atmosphere, just what was needed!

Visited for a Sunday roast with family. Camembert sharing starter was delicious, roast beef main cooked to perfection and the passionfruit mojito was to die for! Our waitress was smiley, helpful and made our visit very enjoyable. I didn't catch her name but she had...

A busy pub for people of all ages. Called for a few drinks whilst in the area. Friendly staff, small beer garden to the rear. Good selection of drinks and food.

The food was very good, though we had to pre order because we were a largish party of 13. The staff were very helpful and attentive . The one problem that we had was that the one person who had ordered a starter had it...

Came in at the morning, around 8:00 to watch Rugby game and eat a breakfast. Food was really tasty and Amstel bier as tasty as always.

great pub and friendly staff. A young lady with long brunette hair made me feel so welcome and was very assertive with the table service. i will be definitely be coming back here again. thank you.

After visiting The Faber Fox for drinks a few times myself and work colleagues decided to try their highly recommended roast. We called in advance to make sure that we would be able to get a table this Sunday and were assured that there was...

£11 for a halloumi burger with the smallest roll, 2 pieces of halloumi and some over-cooked and cold chips. And when my daughter asked for scrambled eggs she was told that they don’t do scrambled and wasn’t offered something to replace it. Just sub-standard all...

Great spot. Best pub for watching sport, a night out as a couple, Sunday roasts - everything! The staff are a cut above the usual standard you encounter and always bend over backwards. The food and drinks are also cracking. 👍🏻

i went to faber and fox at 1pm thinking my dinner would be hot fresh and nice roast potatoes, service fine by two young ladies , couldn’t want for more but the food was barley warm, two small slices of tuff beef, two old roast...

Good food. Excellent service. Nothing else to say, a lovely experience. Camambert sharing plate was amazing, and we both went for fish and chips which were lovely.

Had a lovely time here for some friends' birthday. The food is great, excellent drinks menu. It's a great space, comfy and carefully decorated and the staff are all really friendly. Definitely understand why it's my friends' local of choice!

The two bouncers were rude and aggressive for no purpose what soever. what more can I say. Don’t go when it is busy.

Over from Italy for a family surprise party. We were all welcomed and the manager and staff entered into the occasion so that when the birthday girl (woman) arrived she was very very surprised. The food for about seventy of us was very good, A...

Lovely use of the outdoor space; great place to have a coffee and chill out.Food menu is also nice selection

We had a party of 14 meet up at The Fox for Sunday dinner 3:30 and stick around to win the quiz! OK, after 5 hours casual eats and drinks the quiz victory by passed us! But the quality of the food and helpful staff...

We went there on easter monday on our way back from crystal palace for a drink . Was a great pub friendly staff. Decor was really trendy. And then we went outside in the back wow. What an amazing view and great out doors area....

We live locally and come to the Fox all the time - the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. The pub itself is bright and airy - lovely design and theres a nice outside terrace and garden with a lovely view. The food is...

Called here for their Sunday roast. It was very busy but we managed to get a table. Staff were very busy, but very friendly too...especially one called Chloe. Food was a decent helping and of a good enough standard that we left full and happy

Rudest bar staff I have ever encountered, I had an event here and spent a lot of money but the customer service to my guests was terrible! never again, I’ll spend my money somewhere more deserving

Staff training is needed as friend has cerelpal palsy but was questioned by staff member if so poor s

AMAZING service from Chloe, she absolutely went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The football was on and she found us a nice place to sit and then very quickly got us drinks and continued to check in with fabulous table Service....

We went into Faber Fox on a whim yesterday (after planning to go to a different pub). We saw how nice it looked through the window and went in. The server was *fantastic* - the lady with pink hair and glasses (I think striped trousers...

We were a group of 6 adults and 6 kids on a Sunday afternoon optimistically looking for a table. The guy with the beard(? Manager) couldn't have been more helpful. Patient with us messing about with orders, and recommended food for the kids. Helped us...

Our group chose the Faber Fox as it was the only restaurant on this patch, to serve brunch after 12pm. A calm, bearded fella showed us to a central table, looking out to the stunning London views, and served us a delicious cappuccino (he did...

My colleague and I wanted the fish cakes but they were not available so we ordered the grilled aubergine. It was extraordinary - it was sooooo salty and had the texture of breadfruit. The waitress took it away when I said I wasn’t enjoying it...

Had meal here on Sunday with my wife..they need to step up their game . Pub was busy as palace where on tv so there was no tables for 2 , only 2 large tables that sat 6 .I understand we could not take up...

Went there with a group of friends for drinks, venue looked great but didn't get pass looking at the menu before my friends disability was overlooked and staff member didn't believe him.

Been there for a roast food was very good and would recommend , staff need more training and need to pay more attention to guests. Even though it was sufficiently staffed it was almost impossible to receive any form of service other than your food...

A warm welcoming lunch venue with courteous and pleasant staff. Not a large menu but catered for vegan, veggies and gluten free.

I'm pleased a new place has opened up that makes the most of Crystal Palace's startling views. Huge glass doors lead onto a terrace hung with glowing lanterns. The red crane-lights of central London were glittering in the distance on this cold and misty January...

I went with my husband for a quiet brunch on Saturday. A large NCT group arrived who decided to stand right in front of our table and talk loudly about their babies toilet habits. The waitress should have asked them to sit at their table...

My husband and I took a couple of friends there for lunch as we liked the feel of the place after a quick look around. The meal turned out to be disappointing. The waitress couldn't tell us anything about buccleuch aged beef but both of...

A real busy spot the barman was clueless might return again in summer for the view only . Good location

I love the cosy atmosphere inside. They have a very good brunch menu and the staff is very friendly.

Very cosy and lovely restaurant. The food is great as well as service. It became one of my favourite place in Crystal Palace now :)

This bar can be very good but at times staff aren’t motivated you can wait ages to be asked if you want to order food. As they are chatting to bar staff. Ordered a steak to be told 10 mins later they didn’t have any...

Looking for late lunch venue (3.30) in Crystal Palace. Good menu with enough choice for vegetarian. Excellent fish and huge chips plus peas and tartare sauce. Aubergine and chickpea curry, plus cumin rice and naan, was very tasty and filling. Both dishes were sensible price....

I've been here a few times since it opened. Summer week day evening - great atmosphere on the back terrace. Lunch with friends - nice food & good service. Dinner 8.30pm on a Saturday night with family - poor choice. I must say that the...

Beautiful pub/restaurant. We enjoyed eating here. Good customer service, good atmosphere, beautiful decor both indoors & outdoors. Food was amazing. Can’t fault anything during visit. We’ll definitely be coming here again.

Went here for a friend's birthday. Ordered the beef burger which I had to send away as it tasted burnt and was very dry - was told by the waitress that's how it is cooked she also had quite an attitude. New burger was better...

I went in for lunch and was met with a friendly face, seated quickly and offered a menu and a drink right away, as I was deathly thirsty. Quick and friendly service, and the menu offered traditional pub fare. I ordered the pork belly with...

Went here with friends, mainly for drinks. Bar staff (Andy) were really helpful and made an awesome Whiskey Sour. Had some of the bar snacks which were good.

We were catching up with friends for Sunday Lunch and my friend recommended this place. Apparently it’s new place in Crystal Palace and from when we first entered the place it felt fresh and new. We had phoned up for a table outside and in...

I originally visited just after the bar opened and didn't have the best experience. But visited again and had a great time - so its only fair to give a review of this much better experience! visit on Sunday afternoon at the Aug bank holiday...

Great open and chilled environment, plenty of space, great beer selection. Superb service, both bar and food! Out the back is excellent, especially in good weather. Was in Crystal Palace for a few days and ate and drank here twice. Excellent meal deal including a...

Great new addition to CP high street. Good vibe, good waiting staff, nice wine. Menu looks fine too (but not tested).
