The Pear Tree at Greenland Place in Lewisham

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, particularly the new French chap and the manager. I came for a snack and a coffee with my laptop to do a little work. The fries were perfect: crispy and crunchy and generous but for nearly £5 you would expect them to be spot on! Ketchup is free but mayo is an extra 50p😱 The oat hot chocolate was good which is why I've only put 4/5* for the "food" as a combination of the drink and fries. Oat milk is a bit of tricky milk to work with so I appreciate it can be hard to make it creamy. I'm very much a fan of places these days that don't put on the American "service charge" and this cafe doesn't do that's a big thumbs up from me. You can choose to add one and that's what it should be in England so well done The Pear Tree for not just acting like the majority to make awkward English folk to embarrassed to mention it! Overall I'd definitely come back as it has a nice atmosphere, brilliant staff and good looking menu.

My favourite local. Food is fresh and tasty. Whole family can order what they like. Atmosphere is relaxed. You can sit and have a coffee with friends air a meal with family. Perfect for brunch!

Very good place for the brunch and breakfast.

Love this place, my partner and I go all the time and everything we’ve ever ordered has been exceptional. I’m reluctant to give such a high rating because it’s likely to make it harder to book a table in future😂

Nice place, good wine selection. A few vegan options to choose from. We had the nasi goreng and the focaccia, both of which were very nice. Would recommend for vegans.

I have been going to this place for many years now and it never dissapoints. The food quality is amazing from the brunch to the Sunday roast or pancakes..even a simple hot chocolate with a slice of cake is lovely. They clearly use very good produce and the chefs are fantastic. What it is more, the service is wonderful. The waitress know me and they are always so accomodating and nice. But today I went and i didnt know the ones who were there and i had an incident with my baby vomiting all over the floor and table. The staff were so nice and reassuring, they comforted me in spite of the mess. I think this is what makes this place so special, they make you feel at home. I cannot recommend it enough.

It's a nice place. We only tried the Pancakes - banana Pancakes & chicken breast Pancakes. They're good, but very basic. I don't think they're good enough for us to come back or recommend it a lot

Interesting selection of bakery products and great coffee. The staff is helpful and open.

First of all, the food is really good and tasty. We went there for the breakfast. Unfortunately the coffee is 50/50: flat white is ok, but cappuccino has unusual proportions: it’s mostly milk and you don’t really feel the coffee. The staff in restaurant was friendly and we felt very welcomed. Be sure: you need to book the table in advance (especially during the weekend), otherwise you would need to wait until a table is free.

Excelente lugar y gente. Profesionales y de primera calidad. Bonita decoración y gente sonriente. La cocina está muy bien pensada y no podría tener mejor sabor. El café es de primera calidad y la relación calidad-precio es normal. Amo a los animales también.

Good food and presentation was excellent.

Food was amazing, good vegan options, lovely staff. The vibe was a bit chaotic in there on a Sunday though, loud and not the most relaxing for Sunday roast.

La comida era absolutamente hermosa, todos los entrantes principales y postres eran tan sabrosa música y ambiente muy bueno, la camarera era realmente encantadora lo pasamos muy bien aquí. Todo el personal era muy amable y tuvimos una experiencia encantadora, lo recomendaría 10 / 10

I was there yesterday. A lady waitress was very aggressive. Did not like her attitude at all

Roast was alright, lacked abit of flavour. Quite cheap compared to over Sunday roast in the area. Very busy so staff are always running around but they are very helpful.

"The staff is incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is so welcoming. The food is always fresh and absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back!"

Have had to revise my rating recently, which is sad as it was totally my go-to breakfast spot in the area. They removed the vegan and veggie breakfasts which is a real shame. You can cobble something together but it’s nowhere near what they had. Also the service person left us alone for ages, then just brought the bill over without asking if we wanted anything else. When we said we’d actually like one more drink we were told we’d have to take it away as they needed the table (fair enough but shouldn’t be the first time it’s mentioned). After last experience probably would go elsewhere instead

Como otra crítica dijo que las porciones son demasiado pequeñas y los precios son demasiado, la comida es agradable, pero es bastante decepcionante.

Almorcé el domingo hoy. Carne asada para mí y el Champiñón y Espinacas ‘Wellington’ para mi pareja. El volumen de charla al otro lado del restaurante fue doloroso. Nadie es excesivamente ruidoso solo el volumen de conversación reflejando y fusionando. Me costó oír a mi pareja sentarse frente a mí. Izquierda con cada dolor similar a estar en concierto. Mi carne asada vino con un enorme y sabroso pudín de Yorkshire, algunas papas, chirivías, zanahorias y verduras verdes. Ojalá las patatas hubieran sido mejor asadas. Le faltó un crujiente que esperaría con una buena papa asada. El ‘Wellington’ de mi compañero eran dos setas grandes con una espinaca entre ellas envuelta en pastelería filo. Le costaba cortar sus patatas y verduras con un cuchillo normal, así que tomó prestado el cuchillo de carne que me habían dado. Hubiera sido tentado con el postre si el ruido no fuera tan horrible. Espero que puedan añadir algo a la decoración para absorber algo del ruido.

This has to be one of the most cosy places to eat. Their food is a beautiful fusion of Asian/Western kitchens and the staff are so friendly and helpful that you don't want to leave. Lovely place for relaxing, working and beautiful food.

Came for a friends birthday. Loved the fusion creativity in the menu. Food was decent and, our waitress was hilarious as she tried to upsell us (successfully) add-ons.

Amazing wine tasting event! Thanks for organising it guys 🤩

Wine Dinner event was fantastic. To be recommended.

Awesome restaurant, the food never disappoints always exquisite. I love their Ciders a well 👌🏽...and staff are the best. Highly recommended.

I regularly stop by here for food and the really well priced trays of eggs and coffee. The staff maintain a consistent high standard of service and food quality and it's always nice to visit.

Really tasty, just needs some more veggie options to be even better! A lot of neighbours say it's often too loud, as well.

Peartree is always a pleasant place to visit, we went in for dinner and the food was delicious as always. The service is always friendly and welcoming and I highly recommend you visit.

Fantastic place for brunch or breakfast in the area. Modern nice interior, clean. Friendly hospitable staff. Avocado toasts are great, many other good interesting dishes. Coffee is fine, they have filter options One of the best places to eat and enjoy the place in a mostly residential area. Can be busy on weekends

Nice quiet spot with great food. I went for lunch and had the Mortadella Focaccia but honestly could have chosen anything, the whole menu looked great

The food was delicious and service was great.

So I generally like the pear tree, which is why I placed a delivery. But today my food arrived particularly late, the 'extra chicken' was missing, the chicken altogether was too little in my Caesar salad, the croutons were too oily, the bacon was very burnt, and I even found the stalk of lettuce mixed up with the salad leaves. The food quality is going downhill. Disappointing dinner.

Had latte coffee, which was good and eggs Benedict which unfortunately wasn’t very good. We also ordered Japanese fried chicken which was excellent 👌🏻 Nice friendly staff, and the place is really pretty and clean

Totally satisfied from the food and service. Highly recommend

Bad service they make me wait 30min saying 5 min.

Matt & Tze-may always make me feels like home

Love this place. Been going there for years. Would definitely recommend

Really nice breakfast! Had the Mediterranean eggs 10/10 will visit again when near by

Over the last couple years, food went from praise-worthy to kind-of-bland. It's still nice, but not to the point where you want to tell your friends about it. The dips and toasted focaccia are still memorable, though.

We go here a lot. Great neighborhood restaurant with the best matcha ice-cream... The strawberry ice cream is good too. Sometimes my kid and I go just for the ice cream. Ask for the homemade offering, not the mini tubs. (The menu is pretty good too)

El Pear Tree de Londres es una joya absoluta, especialmente si eres fan de sabores únicos y saludables. Su Matcha es un producto destacado, no contiene azúcar y está endulzado naturalmente con miel, ofreciendo un equilibrio delicioso que es vigorizante y refrescante. Es una elección perfecta - yo - que se siente indulgente sin la culpa. La tostada de aguacate es otro punto culminante, con masa madre que se cuece en casa. La frescura del pan realmente lo distingue, proporcionando una base robusta y satisfactoria para el aguacate cremoso y perfectamente condimentado. La atención al detalle de los chefs es evidente en cada bocado, con toques reflexivos que elevan el plato más allá de lo común. Entrando en El Peral, inmediatamente se recuerda el ambiente acogedor y bullicioso de las escenas del desayuno en “El Oso” de FX. Hay una energía palpable y dedicación a la calidad que hace que comer aquí se sienta especial, pero cómodamente familiar. Ya sea que vaya a pasar por un desayuno rápido o un brunch tranquilo, The Pear Tree promete una experiencia memorable y conmovedora.

The food looked good but it was quite tasteless. Personally I don’t think it was worth the price

Pear Tree is a newly opened cafe hidden behind the main street. They serve a delicious selection of dishes; my table ordered "Duck Hash" & a chicken dish with chips (forgot the name) - served with a tomato sauce & salad. Their food is fresh & every bite is delicious. Cafe is quite quiet and spenny in fact; the portions sizes are not that big either. I recommend coming here if you would like a fancy lunch or dinner. You can even dine in and work too! With more improvements - quality & quantity to complement the price of each item - The Pear Tree would be a spectacular spot for locals. Rating 4-5 stars, supporting local business.

Very good place first time going would definitely go back had there breakfast the beans were fantastic as was the sausages

We are always very delighted and pleased with the amazing food and service of the pear tree. It’s a very welcoming and family friendly atmosphere. Thank you very much

SADLY THE SUNDAY ROAST WAS DISSAPOINTING. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CHEF WAS AWAY. THEY SHOULD HAVE WARNED CUSTOMERS.

Lovely local restaurant near Surrey Quays station. I ordered the crab pasta with tropical mix smoothie; although I didn’t quite like how the pasta tasted and perhaps the combination of both made the pasta taste even bitter, the restaurant was kind enough to offer me a free alternative. I went for the banana pancake, and safe to say it’s the best pancake dish I’ve ever had! My friend went for Duck Hash and we both loved it. Would recommend paying a visit to this restaurant ⭐️

If I have to be completely honest, I absolutely loved this place! The staff is so intelligent and calming with you, the drinks and food are totally AMAZING! It's just I saw lots of waste as I was going to find a seat which kind of disgusted me but in total this place is amazing in a lovely area

One word: Tasteless... literally no taste I don't understand the rating... especially for that price (~25£/person)

Very limited vegan options, and poor allergen labelling on menu, however the vegan option I did have (cauliflower with vegan feta and sweet potato hummus) was incredible, and staff were all lovely.

Good place for brunch. Food was good, though it can take some time to get served during peak brunch hours. Good selection of dishes and service overall.

It was a wonderful experience. The staff was very good, caring and attentive. God bless you

Our new favourite brunch place. Such delicious food, really interesting and inventive dishes. Delivers well too, but best eaten in. Recommend the prawn toast Benedict for something different to the classic brunch dishes you see everywhere, but the flavours work so well together. The rest of the menu looks fantastic too. They’re dog friendly on the outside tables.

Always such amazing service.. the food is incredible!

Really great service and the menu was great. Came with my parents and fiance for brunch and really enjoyed it. Very generous portions on the fry ups

Fast service, a little extra, one of the waitresses speaks French

Great coffee and pastries! Variety of options on the menu for breakfast. Amazing and friendly staff!

A brilliant restaurant and little deli. Lovely food, very friendly staff. The restaurant has a bistro vibe about it with a regularly changing menu and amazingly tasty food. The deli offers a diverse range of products including some very yummy cakes! A great contribution to the local community.

My quest for London's best Aussie Burger has reached a new peak. This is the place to go if you want to experience the gastronomic hedonism of the classic Aussie Burger With The Lot. And they do a very substantial lamington for dessert.

Lovely restaurant with decent food!

Such a lovely local restaurant. Very family friendly and cozy. Breakfast choice is great. We also tried black crab pasta and it was fantastic. Better than in Italian restaurants. Highly recommend this place

Had banana pancakes and pancakes with buttermilk fried chicken and both were absolutely yum. Would definitely visit again!

Ordered online and they sent me burned pancakes. Everything else was delicious but this really upset me that a restaurant will deliver burned food to a customer.

Honestly best pancakes ever, way better than where the pancakes are or trade. Stumbled across them accidentally , and wow , will be back!

Good cocktails, Pulled Pork Benedict was great and the staff were good (the chap with the Northern accent was superb).

Amazing service, great food. A place you must come to if visiting London!

Wow! I came here 2 years ago for a Vegan Australian Fry up, it was nice but it wasn’t anything special. I came back yesterday and I was blown away, a completely different experience so good I needed to write a review. Firstly our server Harry was so lovely and accommodating throughout our whole meal, we had the fried chicken pancakes and the pulled lamb, both extremely tasty. The food came out fresh, crispy, and so hot which is a rarity, you could see the chefs making up the dishes on the hot counter and I loved how integrated it was. Chefs seemed in a great mood which added a great vibe. I am so pleased with this and really am excited to come back, it’s shot up in my top restaurants and places to eat because of how good. The only thing was the bloody mary was quite peppery but that’s subjective, and not enough maple syrup, again subjective because we love sweet treats. Next time I will be back to have the superfood salad, and the chocolate brownie dessert. Thank you so much.

The food is delicious but they keep increasing the prices and making the portions smaller (especially from their bakery). I recently bought a slice of chocolate cake and it was dry and tiny for what I paid..it’s a shame as I love that deli.

Despite the food was really good, the portions became much smaller. We used to order online superfood and Caesar salads. Last time they were really small, not worth value for money, unfortunately.

Just had coffee ☕️ but it was great 👍🏾

Really good spot especially if you love quirky artisan food (which you can pick up in their takeaway section). The coffee is great and reasonably priced for London - I prefer going here than the surrounding coffee shops where they're charging £4.50 (sometimes more) for a small coffee. Food looks really good but haven't eaten in yet so need to give it a try.

The food was good, but the avocado toast was tiny. Portions could be a bit bigger.

Lovely staff. Delicious food. Nice selection of wines and deli specialties.

Came here for my daughter's 2nd birthday. Place was perfect, no issues catering for her and a few lively kids, plus they let us bring a cake. Excellent children's menu. For the grown ups, the nasi goreng was incredible and the frozen margarita and Charly Chaplin cocktails matched anything I've paid more for at a high end place. Will definitely be back.

Wonderful place to have a meal. So relaxing and very friendly staff.

You should always book ahead to be guaranteed a seat here, credit to its popularity. The food is delicious, beautifully presented and well portioned. You got veggie options. Sweet and savoury options (the pancakes are the bomb! As are all the breakfasts). Service is very nice and great for a coffee too.

Ordered online for the popular pancakes with fried chicken and maple syrup, and the crispy duck leg hash. Both are very tasty! Will definitely be on my favorite brunch restaurants list.

Good food. Calm atmosphere. Service was good.

Very relaxed vibes and great food. Had the gardener’s breakkie and the pulled lamb on two separate occasions and they were both delicious. Amazing place for a chill catch up with friends

Really great service, I booked my table for the wrong time and the restaurant manager moved things around so we could sit even though the restaurant was very busy. We had the set menu for Mother's Day and it was great value and super tasty. The shop is also brilliant.

Nice food nice people nice offers for mothers day

excellent breakfast, brunch and lunch. Eggs benedict, pancakes, smashed avocado toast, all delicious! Good coffee and matcha too.

I went here for a couple of times and this place used to be really good, food,coffee cheese, and the service was good. But the last time I was there, food was really bad(wonton noodles taste absolutely terrible and I’m Cantonese Chinese so I think it’s fair judgement, roast chicken was burnt and terribly dry and doesn’t taste like anything) also service was not great, took half an hour to serve the food and the waiter seem unhappy, they also put us at the small table at the corner while nobody else seemed to book other tables

Absolutely killer roast, really delicious. But the tables are tiny and crammed together too close for my liking. Would be a better idea to scrap the shop and give people a comfortable amount of space.

I’m really torn. The food is always amazing. But the service is consistently the worst ever. The staff are so surly. From start to finish. Just so terribly unhappy and unhelpful. But great food keeps (at longer and longer intervals) bringing me back.

We love to come around for the food, the breakfast options are soooo good. The staff is super friendly, the coffee is perfect, the natural juices are just what you need to pick you up and the food will definitely make you come back for more. It gets busier on the weekends so do make sure you make a reservation.

Absolutely one of the best places for brunch in South London! The food is delicious, the coffee is outstanding and the service is fast and efficient. Also, there is a very cute deli at the back!

Love this restaurant for late brunch. They serve breakfast/brunch all day long! Perfect for lazy weekends 😉

did not like the behavior of the hostesses. who did not allow us to sit down and simply asked to leave. although the tables were free. we ordered coffee to go in 30 minutes, the tables were still free. please pay attention to this.

Upon entering The Pear Tree in Surrey Quays for a leisurely breakfast, the charming connection to a coffee shop immediately caught our attention. While awaiting a table, we perused the groceries on display and treated ourselves to a delightful flat white. The seamless integration of the coffee shop and restaurant created a unique atmosphere. Quick and efficient service enhanced our experience, and the open kitchen allowed us to witness the skilled chefs crafting our meals. In addition to our culinary exploration at The Pear Tree in Surrey Quays, we seized the opportunity to indulge in some invigorating beverages. Our selection included a bold ginger shot and a meticulously crafted carrot, apple, and ginger juice. The ginger shot, served in a compact glass, delivered an intense burst of warmth and spiciness. It was a potent elixir, perfectly setting the stage for our breakfast feast. The robust flavor lingered, providing a refreshing and awakening sensation to our taste buds. Accompanying our meal was the carrot, apple, and ginger juice, a carefully balanced concoction. The sweetness of the apple complemented the earthy notes of carrot, while the ginger added a subtle yet invigorating kick. Opting for the Australian breakfast, I was met with a plate adorned with a fully loaded English breakfast and two robust apple and pork sausages. The sausages were a highlight, bursting with flavor. However, the baked beans, unfortunately, fell short in terms of taste. My wife chose the huevos rancheros, expecting a delightful medley of crispy tortilla, spicy beans, chorizo, eggs, and a coriander and avocado mix. While the chorizo boasted well-balanced spices, the dish was marred by a scarcity of beans, leaving it lacking in depth. The portion size, excluding the large crispy tortillas, proved disappointingly small, especially given the relatively high price point. Despite the culinary letdowns, the ambiance, quick service, and the engaging kitchen view balanced the scales. Considering the overall experience, including the drawbacks, I'd assign The Pear Tree in Surrey Quays a rating of 3.5/5. While it certainly has its merits, improvements in certain aspects of the menu could elevate the dining experience.

Probably the best coffee I've had in Deptford. I also enjoyed the pastries, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. I always like to drop by.

Great place for an informal lunch.

My family and I love dining at The Pear Tree. The food is delicious and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The deli has great coffee, treats and wine. The cakes are fantastic - I’ve ordered a few times for special occasions. Thank you to Matt, Tzema, Oona, Tru, Josh and the rest of the team for always providing exceptional service!

Exciting breakfast experience with a classic Egg Benedict and a innovative Prawn Toast with Korean Spicy sauce mixed with Holladaise (I think). Egg Benedict was perfectly executed, well seasoned and crunchy warm toasted muffin. 100/100. Prawn Toast gave me a huge impact on the 1st bite and felt like Master Chef quality, but sauce is overpowering and felt difficult to finish one toast without taking many water breaks. Overall I prefer the Benedict. The toast could potentially Benedict from having the eggs and sauces on the side. Excellent service and great atmosphere. May revisit for their French toasts.

I have been living in Canada Water area for about two years but never heard of this restaurant until my friend brought this up to me. I have to say they served the best French toast in London ( I’ve been to quite a few brunch places in London ). It’s very interesting how they have bacon, apple sauce and French toast on one plate and it’s so flavourful. The saltiness of bacon, sourness of apple sauce and sweetness of syrup blew my mind. Very creative dish. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and friendly service

Awful. I used to love this place a few years ago but they’ve changed management and the new staff are clueless. Been here twice recently. Last week they got my order wrong and gave me sausages and bacon instead of a veggie breakfast. Since I got a takeaway it was too late to change my order. Today I just wanted to grab a quick coffee whilst feeding my baby. Was turned away even though there were lots of tables. Please sort your staff out as this would have been a lovely place otherwise

HORRIBLE PLACE. have been a vegetarian for 7 years, I eat fish on special occasions. I came here for dinner on 21st October 2023 and ordered the miso cod and I was given CHICKEN. I ate bites out of it already as it didn’t look suspicious but tasted suspicious. When I told the waitress she acted like she didn’t care and as if I was bothering her for asking her to change it. At the end of the meal she even tried to make me pay for it which I said I would not as it was a traumatic experience. This should NEVER EVER happen in any restaurant. This places deserves to be investigated and possibly shut down for what happened to me. I didn’t get an apology. I feel disgusted at eating meat for the first time in 7 years. What if I was severely allergic to chicken? To not even get an apology is disgusting.

We come here every week (sometimes more than once). Good variety of menu, good coffee and great kids menu. Staff are all lovely and patient. We definitely have some favourites though ;). Food is always fresh and delicious. Love the Aussie treats in the deli too.

Really good breakfast. I'm glad I found this place

Surprisingly pretty nice cafe considering what the local area looks like. I had the 'Australian breakfast' which I'm not too sure what makes it particularly Australian. If the toast had come with a super thin spread of Vegemite I could be swayed to it being Australian. I have been here once before and had the pulled pork Benedict, I would recommend it but seems to be missing from the menu. The food on the whole is good. Although the portions aren't too huge for the price. But fairly upmarket for Deptford.
