The Green Room in Lambeth

We booked an outside table as they have heaters but they had no gas in either of them. This means that when one ran out nobody had bothered to replace it. At least the waiter tried the second one which we were grateful for but this place is not well run. Two things were missing from the very small children’s menu. We put out orders in and then all had to wait over an hour for our food. We had asked for some nibbles but nothing came. We eventually ordered some chips as there was nothing else to eat. Then the food arrived came and was almost inedible. The cauliflower Wellington had a soggy piece of pastry on it and was served with an undercooked chunk of cabbage. The gauchujong tofu was a poorly plated mess, and the tofu was rubbery. The arancini balls were just not tasty. The waiter asked if the food was ok within minutes of it coming and we said yes but hadn’t really had a chance to eat much of it by then and we were so grateful to get any food as were so hungry. The quality of the food was very poor for the price we paid. The staff seemed to be doing what they could but would often disappear and we had to go in to get service several times. Just don’t book this place and definitely not outside.

Rain was dripping through the tent seems at some places, not very warm, also lavatories not clean. The food was cold and not enjoyable. Service was good.

Black cod was not black cod. It was normal cod with a sauce. Slow service too. For the price … not what it used to be.

The food was meh. The service was slow. There seem to be better options in the area. Overall I do not recommend it.

We went last weekend for my partner's birthday. And WOW! JUST WOW!! I had a mad idea to turn our table into a crime scene as the theme and not only did the managers help design some of the crime scene labels they helped put a full body layout on the floor in tape. There was much more but all in all it was perfect, the environment, food and treatment we received. Genuine thank you from me and the birthday girl.

My sister and I recently hosted a surprise 60th birthday party for mum at The Greenroom, and I couldn’t be happier with how the evening turned out! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. A special shoutout to Oana, Davide, Niamh, and the rest of the team who worked tirelessly on the evening to make it so memorable. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were exceptional. Whether it was helping with the setup, keeping the surprise under wraps, or ensuring all our guests were well taken care of, they truly excelled. We were half on the terrace and had some space at the back of the restaurant, which was intimate yet spacious enough to accommodate our party comfortably. The ambiance was just right, and the setup added a touch of elegance to the celebration. The food and drinks were top-notch, and we received so many compliments from our guests about the service and the atmosphere. Thank you, Greenroom team, for making such an important milestone unforgettable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone looking to host a special event! 🌟

Thank you for a lovely evening last night, everything was delicious! 5 stars for the pizzas😍

Good bottomless brunch spot in a great location just behind the National Theatre. Staff were very attentive and our drinks were never empty. We even got two free slices of cake as we were celebrating our birthdays.

Nice friendly staff, food was excellent and it's dog friendly

Kadijal & Ahmed absolutely make this place amazing. The Green Room used to leave the bottle of prosecco on the table and now they don't which makes bottomless brunch less fun but still worth a trip

The food was underwhelming, my daughter's chicken was over cooked. The vegan pizza was slimy in the middle and had no tomato base. My son just at the crusts. It did not feel like good value for the money. The womens toilets were unpleasant and my husband said the men's were awful. Had we used the toilets before ordering we would have left. The staff were nice enough. I would not return or recommend.

Dumped on a table and no introduction or take coats. Went for the bottomless brunch. Had to call staff over to take order even though people that arrived after us got served first. Continuously had to ask more than once for top up. Main food was nice so nod to the chef but the service was poor even though there was plenty of staff serving. The bottomless bunch is not worth the money and for the time we were there we could of eaten and drunk as normal.

A nice little spot just behind the southbank, then staff were polite and friendly but a bit slow in taking our order, and there were a few things missing from the menu. But a lovely evening was had by all.

Amazing service, great place to chill and enjoy amazing coctails. I recommend old fashion will blow your mind ;)

Amazing food and excellent service. Highly recommended

Great atmosphere! Very friendly and helpful staff - especially Izabela!

¡Oh Dios! ¿Qué ha pasado con el Salón Verde? Una vez fue un gran lugar para almorzar el domingo, pero ahora... El menú de “brunch” limitado es todo lo que está disponible a la hora del almuerzo del domingo y las pizzas estaban fuera el día que visitamos, así que nuestras opciones eran limitadas. Los arancinos y la «vibrante ensalada de superalimentos» Los huevos Benedicto XVI y los huevos florentinos estaban secos, desprovistos de mantequilla y solo con una guarnición escasa de holandesa; solo las gambas eran pasables. El servicio era en el mejor de los casos amateur. No regresaremos.

Not a great experience I can’t recommend anyone to go here. The service was unorganised and chaotic which left you confused considering how many servers were working. Having lost our booking as a start but then constant slip ups during the meal with no real apology. The food was alright although even the chips were extremely over salted. Staff would just walk away mid conversation and the whole experience just left us feeling a little awkward. The bathrooms are also frankly disgusting with a sign reading ‘please wash your hands thoroughly’ it just seems like a joke

Delicious food and service, Great location but It gets quite loud so if you were on a romantic or business dinner I keep that in mind

Verry nice food nice area good service end location

We sat outdoors for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. The outdoor space is lovely and has a nice vibe. Unfortunately, the food really is not good. We did not enjoy anything that we ordered (avocado hemp toast, smoked cheesy cauliflower, pancakes and potatoes). The service, also, left a lot to be desired (it was quite slow and random). The servers were friendly and happy to make recommendations, but inattentive. If we had enjoyed our food, the prices would have been great for a Sunday brunch.

Hamburger was good, but too expensive for this size. The steak was very good. Superfood salad consists of 80% broccoli - absolute cheek!!!

Main was as described, a very nice Confit duck, on a waffle with Maple sauce. Not sure why it ought to have been on a waffle, or indeed with maple sauce. But OK, that is what it said on the menu. Coconut Creme Brulee surprised me as it was a literal cream of Coconut with sugar burnt top. Rather horrid but entirely what I had ordered. Honest menu, not great grub.

4 de nosotros cenamos aquí. Íbamos a ver algo en el BFI y esto estaba cerca. Tengo una mesa rápido. La comida estaba bien. Starter vino al mismo tiempo que main - impar. Mi hamburguesa era muy pequeña. Miré con envidia el tamaño de la porción a los 2 de nosotros que habíamos pedido pescado con papas fritas - gran porción de pescado. El servicio era lento. Tardé un tiempo en encontrar a alguien que pidiera un poco de ketchup e igual de tiempo para que llegara. Los baños podrían haber sido mejores.

Limited veggie options and excessive pricing for add ons - was considering the superfood salad but £5 extra for some halloumi (and the same for anchovies) seemed excessive to me. In the end I went for the veggie burger, expecting something made of beans/lentils. Instead it was a beyond meat type burger and the waiter brought it over saying it was the beef burger, so spent the rest of my meal thinking I'd got the wrong thing. Not a great experience and my stomach didn't react well to the upf meat, so I'd suggest the amend the menu to make it clearer what you're getting going forwards.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and a good place to have a drink with friends.

Awful service. Came for a bottomless brunch and had to wait 25 minutes for our first drink. The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy and some of the staff just seemed to be stood about doing nothing, so we didn’t seem to understand why the service was so awful. Some of the later drinks we ordered just never arrived. Sat with the food for 5 minutes and had to ask for cultery because this wasn’t brought out with the food. Burger was ok but nothing special. Pizza was awful- very dry. Not worth the money- definitely won’t be back

Muy mal servicio. Llegó para un brunch sin fondo y esperó 25 minutos para nuestra primera bebida. Uno de los platos que pedimos estaba bien, pero la pizza era horrible. Muy seco y sin sabor. No vale la pena el dinero, definitivamente no volverá

£7.43 for a £6.6 pint of Guinness. No where on the menu it mentioned a compulsory service charge. Not coming back, thank you very much.

Wonderful meals, polite staff, and a pleasant ambiance. This place is perfect for a casual bite.

You get the cold shoulder if you're not a young, hip person, you get put in an ugly corner somewhere even though there was still plenty of room everywhere. Before you had your drink it had been another half hour while it was very quiet. We were off again in no time. Too bad, even though it looked very nice and inviting

Service really slow and poor. Waiters forgot orders, slow wait time for requests and the bill. Food quality was low, wouldn't recommend.

Really nice location. Superfood salad was lovely. Only issue is limited vegetarian options when I visited.

Went in for some lunch with friends. I ordered shakshuka. When it arrived. It was half a toasted naan bread and a small pot of spicy chutney. This was meant to be a main meal but it was barely a starter and they charged me £16 for this which is ridiculous. The staff are nice and try but the prices are outrageous for what you get. Much better places around. Avoid if you can.

Justo fuera de los caminos trillados, escondido de la carga principal de las cadenas de mercado medio en South Bank, el Green Room ha sido una opción para el teatro antes y después para mí durante muchos años. Reseñas recientes sugieren que es inconsistente. Ciertamente puede ser lento; por regla general, espere una hora y media antes del teatro. Sin embargo, nuestra comida más reciente antes de las uvas de la ira era agradable, tranquilo y memorable, los cócteles son inventivos y bien hechos, incluyendo licores inusuales como la bergamota, Brunchy comida corre la gama del menú internacional de Londres - Shakshuka (muy picante y mucho mejor para ello) , halloumi a la parrilla, humus, tortitas con tocino agradable y espeso, etc. Una discusión: el corazón de una ensalada César son las anchoas. Hazlos opcionales, pero no cobres extra por ellos. Eso es cincelado. El espacio es grande y de techo alto, y tranquilo incluso cuando se llenó para el almuerzo más tarde. Un amplio espacio al aire libre haría de este un gran lugar de una noche de verano. El servicio era acogedor y eficiente. ¿La sorpresa memorable? Cierta actriz y comediante famosa almorzando sola en la mesa de al lado. Tiene sentido que esta sea la cantina de obras para el Teatro Nacional, dada la proximidad.

Really disappointed. Had high hopes. Looks super cool. Reality: halloumi fries taste of nothing. Buffalo sauce is great on chicken, not on tasteless halloumi. Super greens salad was a big let down. Bavette steak was ok. Gravy tasted line bisto, hasselback potatoes were nothing like that - semi roasted potatoes and nothing more. Maybe i am getting old, but i don’t need music pumping out like i am at a nightclub while i eat and every person at a table has to scream at each other to be heard. You know it is loud when the waitress cannot even understand what you are saying

Staff were wonderful, really made our visit.

Lovely staff! The squid for appetiser was amazing! Proper decent drinks! The place is so cute!

We had a table booked for 5.30 on a weekday and when we turned up we found they had cancelled our booking without telling us as they then had a private event. The lady at the entrance says we didn't have a booking and everyone was contacted but that wasn't the case and she was very dismissive. Will never book there again.

Cool, nicely designed venue, and excellent food for a casual eaterie. The best feature is the staff though... It was like they were intentionally trying to find ways to make the evening good for us! I was sitting and waiting for other guests, some of whom were already sitting elsewhere - the staff figured this out and actively sought me out and matched us all up and amended the drinks orders etc. All super friendly and seen like they enjoy the job - the manager is clearly doing a great job too! Thanks GR team, we'll be back.

London bars and restaurants can be a ripoff. But £35 for a small pita bread, some humus, 4 arancini balls, 4 haloumi strips takes the biscuit. Total disgrace. Only redeeming feature, the portion size was doubled when we complained... (evidently they know they cannot justify the price).

En contraste con el bullicio y el bullicio normales del centro de Londres encontramos... The Green Room – llamado así por el astrocésped y el generoso espacio al aire libre que rodea este Bistro / Pizzería ubicado justo detrás del Teatro Nacional y cerca de la rotonda Waterloo cine IMAX. Con una distancia sustancial entre las mesas, personal súper amable y una oferta de comida y bebida decente, este lugar hace un cambio refrescante de los establecimientos ruidosos, "entrar y salir" con comida plástica amigable para los turistas y promedio premium que se encuentra en tantos lugares en estos días. Siéntese bajo los árboles o junto a abundantes jardineras verdes y converse por la tarde o noche. Y la música – jazz amigable para hombres de mediana edad – vaya – ¿qué más se puede pedir? Este espacio es diferente, valioso y te preparará para una experiencia que recordarás. Adelante. Sólo una advertencia – Una copa grande de vino era £ 16 ! – Evitar el “grande” si conseguir una ronda en después del trabajo! - Te llevará a la bancarrota. Se recomienda la sala verde.

As with many things in London, up its own ... Grumpy, short staff and not much of an atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, lovely service, especially by the lovely Shyanne! The burgers were amazing #beefburger #vegan the drinks were flowing, the sun was shining, and the music was vibing!

We took the Fish and Chips to stay in English traditions, and we were not disappointed! By far the best fish and chips, not greasy and accompanied by tasty homemade sauces! Very good value for money for a very consistent dish.

Lovely spot located right near the national theatre. Really amazing food with a lot of appealing choices and at a reasonable price for London! Would definitely recommend :)

I don't normally write bad reviews but the Green Room was dissapointing even by the low standards of the chains that surround the south bank. We ordered a frito misto sharing platter. The smoked salmon was fine but the squid was tasteless and the prawns were just batter. The whole place felt slightly grubby and toilets weren't great either. We went to NT over the road for a coffee to take the taste away. Theatre goers really deserve better than this.

Not good at all. Slow, confusing service where no one appeared to have any idea what was going on. Pizzas were overcooked and dry made worse by the fact there were no condiments available. When we asked if there was any chili oil we were brought a small suspicious bottle that turned out to be cinnamon flavoured. Waitresses were pretty rude and aloof, everything seemed like an inconvenience to them and they were more interested in chatting to the bartenders. They were also polishing cutlery in the restaurant on a table near to us which was very grating. Costly evening for a pretty bad experience all round. Avoid!!

The Green Room is a stylish restaurant with a large outdoor area, but the food lets it down badly. I paid over the odds for a dry beef burger, and the extra £5.50 to add bacon and cheese was totally excessive. We were a large party who ordered mostly different things but not a single person made any comment about enjoying their meal, which said it all. While the staff were friendly, the service was also quite slow, meaning 2 courses took us over 2 hours. My advice would be to book an outside table on a sunny day for drinks and then eat elsewhere. It's a shame, because if they got the food right, this place could be something special.

Bad service, waited an hour for a drink and about 40 mins to order food and it wasn't even busy. Food v average. Wouldn't go again.

Great venue, great atmosphere and great food. Shyann was absolutely fantastic, she couldn't have provided a better service, Rlreminding us how long we had left of our bottomless brunch and providing recommendations. Would totally recommend!

Brilliant service from Shyann. Good music and vibes in the sun

Great place to visit, excellent service. Shayann looked after us so well and we had a great time.

Tasty salmon dish, was not dry.

The service was outstanding , big shoutout to Bella , Mikayla and Giada they were super helpful

This place was great a few weeks ago and now dreadful. What changed? Manager running round shouting at staff, not very professional

Good food (tapas), very helpful and kind staff.

Was here for a corporate event, so didn't get a true feel for the 'usual' atmosphere. Seems a nice enough place, but would be better to experience it as a regular customer.

Went there for a few drinks and food in their wonderful looking beer garden / terrace . Very disappointed by the service . Had to wait twenty minutes for my first drink and had to ask two staff for it and nobody had a clue. Same thing happened again when we ordered food . They weren’t even that busy . The staff seem clueless and confused and lack waiter courtesy . They seem to be poorly managed and trained.

Great service . Nice food & wine !

I'll start from the end, it's no surprise that you can easily book a table at this place on a Friday night. The food was so-so, the burger was completely tasteless, and despite the fact that I was asked about the degree of preparation, it was well dried. The table at which we sat, although it was in a shady corner, swayed with every touch. I’ll finish where I started - don’t go there, go to any other place on the embankment, fortunately it’s nearby.

The atmosphere was very off. We love wines so we asked our waiter for some recommendations but they didn’t really know what to recommend . We waited over 20 minutes , not sure why as it was obvious that they had staff, just busier chatting and hovering over kitchen area. No one seemed to be running the place ! We will not be returning.

I live in London and came across this place with some friends from out of town. The service was exceptional (and the group I was with was a little complicated!) and I’m so grateful to every staff member I met. Gorgeous garden area in the summer and nice food. Thank you!

Very slow, we didn’t get our dishes at the same time. And pizza was cold.

Not a great visit here… firstly we had to look for someone at the door and then we were greeted with a cold look, telling us that we had to wait for a table which finished up taking longer than expected.. While waiting, my friend went to the toilet and there was an unpleasant smell and dirty bins, which put one of my friends off , but we still decided to give it a try. We were seated on a dirty table with dirty menus and while waiting for our order to be taken, we were amazed to see a senior member of staff arguing with the restaurant staff right in front of the guests.. The food was late and so were our drinks, we were planning to get more rounds of drinks but we decided to go somewhere else instead. Overall they’re clearly not taking pride in the place. On a positive note our waitress was lovely, but was clearly embarrassed at the whole situation, she is the only reason we’re giving 2 stars and not 1.

Welcoming service though we were only here for drinks. Given quality of service we will be back another time. We were seated outside but when it started to rain the waiters all rushed outside to help customers move indoors.

I had dinner with a group of 16 colleagues, and the total expenditure exceeds £1000. However, the quality of the food does not quite live up to the standard that would justify the high price. The service provided by the junior waitresses is acceptable, although there were instances when they were not readily available. I found it rather off-putting when an experienced waitress "reminded" me to say "PLEASE" when I requested tissues to clean up a spilled drink, as I had simply asked one of them for tissues. I would have certainly expressed gratitude once the tissues were provided. Her manner of correction seemed impolite to me. Regarding the food, I must say that most dishes lack flavor, and the fish and chips were excessively oily, rendering them inedible. Similarly, the calamari was not crispy as expected soaked with oil. As for the drinks, I ordered a cocktail with coconut as one of the ingredients. Unfortunately, I cannot ascertain whether the coconut used was fresh, as I experienced some stomach discomfort later in the night. In terms of service, I would describe it as satisfactory overall, except for the aforementioned incident with the waitress. However, I appreciate the efforts of the other staff members who were helpful whenever I made a request.

Used to really like coming here, but went back this morning after a little bit of a hiatus and feels like ownership different. Service was haphazard, food bland and the coffee was terrible - the worst I have ever had in London! Also, they decided to „change the oil in the fryer“ at 11am on a Saturday … so nobody could have any fried food!!! Rookie. Also, not friendly for pregnant/new mums - no decaf and no virgin options.

Cute venue but service is one of the worst I’ve had in London. Barely 40% full and getting a plain cider to the table took 20 minutes. Please employ more service staff or something.

Food took over an hour to prepare and the restaurant was empty. Most of the food was terrible. Avoid the mussels!

Went in last night as the England game was being shown, great atmosphere and staff were very patient and helpful. The diavola pizza was delicious!

I had a great work meeting at The Green Room that turned into a fun night of drinks and footy. The food was excellent, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was perfect. I will definitely come again!

I went over there for a drink with friends and it was really nice , the atmosphere and the music are really chill perfect to enjoy your time with some friends in a beautiful space , the drinks are really flavourful and refreshing the On the Edge cocktails was my favourite and for the non alcoholic option the Tropical Super Soda is amazing I will definitely recommend

The Green room team made a beautiful party for us! We were celebration my friend’s birthday ! The food was coming at the right time and we had very tasty cocktails ! Very thanks for all the team!

Been to the Green Room for the first time as it was recommended by a few of my friends that live near by. The weather was lovely and we enjoyed some of their new cocktails creations. I really recommend the Calm before the Storm and on the edge. The wines range is also affordable and great quality English wines. We only had some nibbles to share, but you really should go for the jerk chicken skewers and the halloumi fries dressing is heaven. I will definitely come back to try their pizza.

The waitress who serves you when you enter is unpleasant to people and a liar, I would not return

Quick stop in on a sunny afternoon in May before jumping back on a bus tour. Fancied a drink and some hot chips (classy, I know!), so I indulged in the Shake 2.0 Wake, (which fair warning, packs a punch!) and relaxed outside in the warmth of the afternoon sun. Staff were welcoming, I was seated immediately, chips arrived hot, and I didn't need to wait long at all for them.

Had a nice Sunday roast, especially liked that they chargrilled the vegetables. Service was attentive and friendly.

What a lovely place, staff absolutely lovely, food delicious. Visted today, largish work group. Service excellent.

Sruthi, Amazing service, accommodated a big group

I’ve been coming here quite regularly over the last few years. I work nearby and it’s a good spot for lunch or dinner. Had lunch the other day and was astonished by how bad the standard of the food has dropped. We were several dishes that were so badly over done they were barely edible. All of the food felt like frozen ready made food that had been deep fried. We were also served drinks that tasted like budget fruit juice. A really bad experience. Definitely will not return.

The atmosphere was good, the staff too, the waiter Giada was very kind with us, we definitely spend a great night watching euros matches there.

Ahmed was amazing 10/10 deserves pay rise

I had a really nice experience at the Green Room on Friday night. I and my boyfriend went for dinner and were not disappointed at all. From the way we were received to how we were served, it was really nice I must say. The food was amazing, We had pizzas and couple of starters and the portions were really good. The dessert was really the icing on the cake because from how it was presented to how it tasted…I haven’t had anything like it. We had the vegan brownie and it was so soft and warm like it was made fresh and so tasty aswell. We had to wait awhile tho for our mains to arrive, but it was due to the busyness of the place and the manager gave us glasses of prosseco on the house to make up for it. I would highly recommend.

Not sure if there was a change in management but the food has become quite mediocre, it seems they are understaffed as it took ages for orders to be taken and food to arrive. It was not uncommon to be ignored by the waiter. The drinks are nice and atmosphere is nice. But it's gone downhill.

We came here for a work leaving meal and despite booking for 7pm our main meals didn’t come out until 9.30pm and they all came separately with the last coming at 10.15pm. The food was dry and over cooked and one of the waitresses was incredibly rude when we questioned why some drinks hadn’t arrived. We were also told on arrival that pizza was off the menu as it would take two hours to get them out but given it took over 3 hours for one of our mains I wish we’d ordered pizza! Unfortunately there was literally nothing good about this restaurant that would ever make me go back or recommend it, it was utterly appalling on this occasion, I can only hope for their sake that it’s rarely this bad.

This was not the greatest experience. The pizza came cold and dry. The chips were old and the service quite terrible. Would not recommend :-/

I recently dined at The Green Room and had a fantastic experience. The service was friendly and attentive despite it being very busy. The food was delicious, with each dish beautifully presented. Overall, my expectations were exceeded and I highly recommend.

Can't just go up to the bar and order a drink and takes 10 minutes to get table service

I recently dined at the Greenroom after four-month aboard and was thrilled to see their updated menu. The new dishes are a delightful addition. I particularly enjoyed the salmon which was clocked just my taste. they offer some classic favorites, such as pizzas and fish and chips, but the new menu items add a refreshing twist to the whole experience . The staff was attentive , providing excellent recommendations and service despite how busy they were. Overall we always enjoyed Green Room and I highly recommend checking out the new offerings at Greenroom.

I came here last week on a sunny Saturday afternoon, there was a lovely atmosphere as it was very busy. However this did not disrupt service, our food was brought out promptly and made to perfection. There was also a lovely selection of beers and cocktails. Will definitely be returning !

Really nice pizza and a nice atmosphere, great location Thanks Shyann!

Really lovely for dins near Southbank - service from Shyann was great! x

Loved it, staff are super polit e and always making sure you are comfortable and enjoying your meal.

Their is just something about one cocktail that they call the green room punch,me and my friends were out for their Saturday brunch and the deal was fair,amazing service.

Extremely rude staff. Placed us at one table and then said we need to move to another table. A few minutes later, they tell us we again need to leave our table. Would never come again

Table at 7, didn’t order until after 8. Food wasn’t ready until after 10. No updates, or explanations. Some of our party cancelled their food because it was going to arrive after they had planned to get their train home.

Table service only….. served twice in nearly 3 hours…. Even had to wait for ages for the bill. Worse service I’ve ever known. Food was nice though. Refused to pay the service charge which we’ve never done before!
