The Yellow House Bar & Kitchen in Southwark

We used to be regulars at the Yellow House around 20 years ago when it first opened, but we then moved out of the area. With some trepidation, we made our first trip back last week and were both delighted and astonished to find that it was every bit as good as we had remembered. A lovely warm welcome, relaxed ambiance, and the food was all great quality, beautifully presented and extremely tasty - the lamb and sea bass mains were particularly noteworthy, and the dauphinoise potatoes were sublime. Would definitely recommend, and only wish there was a restaurant of this style and calibre near where we live now.

Just popped in quite late for Sunday lunch about 4pm , only had Chicken left well my fault for leaving it so late. But I wanted chicken anyway so all good! It didn’t take long for it to arrive fantastic I also had a pint of pale ale ice cold and goes down very easily , I was offered Jamie’s Almond tart which I had with Almanac ice cream finished off with a latte coffee. Everything was perfect.

I highly recommend. Incredible food at great prices and with a casual vibe. Staff are friendly and attentive. But the food is amazing. And it's literally across the road from Surrey Quays station.

As a frequent but irregular diner I have always found the food and service excellent. The dessert of the day is always worth trying.

First time visiting this restaurant and I loved it. The staff were incredibly friendly and very attentive. The food and drinks were delicious. I am looking forward to returning

Delicious roast, I loved the seafood ravioli starter

The Yellow House has an extensive menu with something for everyone. The quality of the food is always excellent. Service is very good from friendly, helpful staff making sure diners have an enjoyable experience. I keep coming back and bringing friends

Another great visit to this neighbourhood gem; this time with family, who were suitably impressed by the quality and value for money of the food and drink.

A good food menu with a reasonable choice of draft beers and wine. An enjoyable evening

Not the first time I have been here and it never fails to deliver on all fronts.

The food and service at the yellow house has always been exceptional. We visited recently with our baby and had a lovely time. My husband had pizza and I had chicken and mushroom stroganoff. We both cleared our plates! The baby change was spacious and the highchair was clean and ready at the table when we arrived. Thank you to all the staff for their kindness and another delicious meal.

Excellent sunday roast as always! Chef also helpfully adjusted to dietary requirements of one of our group.

Spacious restaurant, great food and good value for money.

I haven't been to the Yellow House for over a year. The food and service were exceptional.

As usual the service was lovely, food fantastic. There were 4 of us and ordered spaghetti, burger, steak panini and lamb. All cooked to perfection. Also had dessert special of strawberry mille feuille which was very tasty and huge!

Very friendly people, excellent freshly cooked food at good prices. Unmissable deserts. We go as often as we can. We love it there.

First time I've visited and not had pizza! Happily the Sunday roast met the same high standards - a generous portion of perfectly-cooked lamb, with lovely vegetables, roast potatoes and a huge Yorkshire pudding, and plenty of gravy.

A cafe, bar and restaurant in one. Always great food here, I come often. Lovely hosts. Home made puddings, cakes and pastries.

Easy to book. Hosts are really nice and explain to you their menu if needed. Tasty food.

We chose this restaurant initially based entirely on its proximity to Dock X theatre. We had such a nice experience we will be back with friends as a destination in and of itself. Great, authentic, healthy Italian fare with fantastic service at a reasonable price. Diverse been and wine lists were an added plus.

Great mules starter. Always a warm welcome. This place needs to be better known.

Very pleasnatly surprised, and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Happy to visit again should the occasion arise.

Very friendly service, wide-ranging menu, easy location…just what we wanted!

Really relaxed evening with good food and friendly staff. Prawn risotto tasty and pear and Gorgonzola salad lovely. The Sauvignon blanc was good and was reasonably priced.

Dinner was delicious. The owner and staff are delightful. Recommend!

Excellent service and fabulous pizzas from a wood-fired oven. Really good!

Great friendly service Great tasting food cooked with passion and very fresh Good value for this part of London Don’t judge the restaurant on its outside appearance Would definitely recommend this restaurant

This was my first time back to the Yellow House since lockdown and what a wonderful meal it was. Staff were attentive and accommodating with our baby, even during the busy Sunday roast, and the food was nothing short of spectacular. My rose veal was absolutely delicious, and the pecan pie was the best I’ve found outside of America. The little extras in presentation such as the plated selection of spoons with pudding and coffee make The Yellow House a budget luxury that feels much fancier and more indulgent than it costs. Already booking my next visit back!

The food was soooo good! Good service was great too

Celebrated Mother’s Day with another delicious meal. Always welcomed with a smile. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years that we have been coming here and they never disappoint. Food always delicious and the desserts are outstanding and homemade. Can’t wait to go back.

We’re not aware of our booking, only serving a set menu, food was very low standard. Will not be returning.

Once again visited this lovely restaurant in Surrey Quays and the food and wine was so good. Their wood fired Pizza ovens was on form as we had two of the best pizzas I've had in a few long time. The staff are always more than just happy and engaging they go the little bit extra to make your visit memorable. You absolutely get what you pay for and we were more than happy to tip.

Heading to see Macbeth at Dock X, booked this delightful restaurant online. Arrived early and we were concerned that shutters were down but just before 5:25 they opened up and we were invited in. 6 of us were served, ate and parted in plenty of time for the show. Very friendly welcome from all the team. Good menu with plenty of choice and the food was excellent as was the service. Took "doggy bags" of fudge out at the end to enjoy at the theatre. We will definitely visit again and I thoroughly recommend the Yellow House, thank you for a lovely experience.

Absolutely delicious meal. Really tender and tasty venison and always leave room for Jamie's deserts. Gingerbread with toffee sauce and ice cream, yum

Great pre theatre meal! Delicious food, great service.

My daughter and I had the pre theatre menu. The prawn risotto was good but bream starter was not so great.

Excellent food and choices . The wood fired pizza and steak were excellent and duck croquettes were delicious.

A fantastic Sunday roast - the beef was every bit as good as Hawksmoor and the roasties were perfect, as was the rich and flavoursome gravy. A slice of beautiful pecan pie rounded the meal off with panache.

Great burger and in a lovely atmosphere with attentive staff. What’s not to like

This place was an unexpectedly brilliant find......we went to see Macbeth at Dock X and were looking for an easy early dinner option for later......this was fabulous. The food, atmosphere and staff all exceptional - thank-you!!

The Yellow House was a great find - friendly and efficient service and really delicious food. There were lots of things on the menu that sounded really great - we opted for pizza and a pasta to share. Both were unusually tasty - the pasta had a great texture, the right amount of sauce and nice zingy freshness to it. Lovely. it was surprisingly quiet, perhaps gets busier at other times - I hope so. If going to Dock X as we were, allow some extra time to savour this, rather than a bit of pre-theatre rush as we did. I enjoyed the meal at least as much as the play - in a different way of course!!

Really good pizzas and pasta. Friendly atmosphere and close to Dock X where we were going for the theatre. Definitely recommend.

Good food, friendly, attentive service. Efficient so we could get to the theatre on time

Can’t recommend enough everything first class as usual been coming here since it opened. Big portions and always piping hot. Desserts home made by Jamie and you couldn’t get a dessert anywhere else as delicious as Jamie’s. Always welcomed with a smile. Will be going back very soon.

Excellent, freshly prepared food with a good variety of options. Wood fired pizza oven and a nice bar area.

Too much noise from nearby table. Overal good value and service.

Always superb food, personally delivered by the chef. Always an interesting menu, with enough staying the same for those who want stability and enough changing for those who want variety, always a gorgeous selection of puddings to finish a meal, and HANDS-DOWN THE BEST CHIPS IN LONDON.

Another fantastic meal at the Yellow House - nice to have alternate options (like Pizza etc) on a Sunday too. Underrated Gem!

My friend Phil and I both really enjoyed our meals in a convivial atmosphere and the service was excellent. Will definitely return!

Yet again the Yellow House delivers. Whether it is a celebration day or a normal menu, you get best quality food with best quality service and hospitality

We are new to the neighborhood. Went to the Yellow House 2 nights in a row. 1st to host a friend. Pizza. As good as we have ever had. Next night for their Robert Burns dinner. Excellent. I highly recommend this neighborhood pub/restaurant.

An excellent sunday roast (pork for me, lamb for my other half), with home made bakewell tart for dessert, accompanied by 'virgin' Negroni and a couple of glasses of the house red. A warm welcome as ever.

Had the Sunday roast , which was a small portion and was £21.00!! Really not value for money

A good choice of dishes on the menu, with all meat like burgers, chops and steaks done on charcoal. Pasta is fresh, and the deserts are good. We had a gluten- intolerant person in our group, who had choices like risotto. Overall, a laid back place to eat, that offers good food..

Another great night out at the Yellow House last night; mum ordered the veal n mash which she loved but couldn’t quite finish; my daughter the children’s pasta which she always enjoys; my wife the cod and me the Gorgonzola spaghetti which was delightful. The Yellow House is a secret gem hidden away in Surrey Quays, great food and lovely staff; hugely recommended …

Always a pleasure to visit, Staff are so friendly and welcoming, Food was delicious as always

Had a lovely birthday lunch here for my son and niece. The staff were lovely especially the sweet staff member with the hearing aid that took the time to ask their names. Also the chef was really helpful when I approached him for a few things Overall very accommodating and attentive. There’s some building works outside but once inside the place is great

Lovely staff, great food. My son is super fussy but ate everything he ordered. We had a lovely meal. Will definitely be back.

Fabulous service, tasty food at reasonable prices. Very friendly atmosphere, fantastic staff and excellent customer service from the entire team. Thank you

We booked this restaurant for our works Christmas party. Well it was awful, where do I start. Waiters need to brush up on their social skills. Food was presented poorly. Waiters never once asked how our food was or if we needed anything. No atmosphere seeing as it was Christmas. We asked if we could have crackers on the table which they gave us but was shocked to have been charged for them. A very dissatisfied evening.

Excellent food and wonderful hosts. Desserts are particularly special but I’ve never had any bad food here and I’ve tried Sunday Roasts, steaks, burgers, pastas, pizzas and salmon. A real gem of a place that I love to return to again and again!

Delicious creamy sausage pappardelle pasta dish, excellent service and a convivial atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!

Have been to the Yellow House many times and they seem to be able to excel each time we visit.

Another excellent meal, have been dining at The Yellow for 20 years plus and we have never been disappointed. Robert and Jamie always welcome us with a smile. Food is always hot, delicious and plenty of it. Can’t recommend enough.

Lovely staff first of all. They made a lovely cake for my nieces 16th bday and the food beforehand was delicious, lamb cooked to perfection with garlicky cheesy daupinoise. We had a lovely time.

The food was amazing, cooked to perfection and served hot. The bar tender's service was excellent, he was friendly and very efficient. Only go here if you can afford expensive food and wine, it's not cheap! But, that aside, I highly recommend it and I would definitely go back.

This restaurant is great. Food quality is outstanding and the staff is extremely friendly!

A hugely underrated gem. Even some locals don't realise how good it is. Their loss.

Very good service and food. Sunday roast was great. Children’s meals were a hit and my granddaughter (4)wanted penne pasta instead of spaghetti which they did with no problem. Overall a very enjoyable family lunch. Reasonable prices too.

Great menu which is regularly refreshed - I tried out the new squid salad starter this time and wasn't disappointed. The main dishes always tempt but we can't tear ourselves away from the wonderful pizzas, which I consider the best in this part of SE London.

Yet another delicious meal, they never disappoint. Always welcomed with a smile. Have been coming here for 15 years plus. Look forward to going back very soon.

The food and service was outstanding. We came for Sunday lunch and would highly recommend coming here as this is a true hidden gem in Surrey Quays. Really easy to get to from Canada Water as well. I wish I had enough room to try more desserts but we will be back!

The quality of the food is outstanding. Friendly service and always happy to accommodate any request. It is our favourite place in the neighbourhood.

The food was amazing. As soon as I finished I could of had it all over again. Can’t wait to go back.

Yet another delicious meal. We have been coming here 15 plus years and we have never been disappointed. Looking forward to another visit. Robert and Jamie always welcome us with a smile.

I absolutely love everything about this place: its food, its staff, the ambience. One of the very best places to eat in London. They always have vegan options. They treat customers so well - you really feel welcomed and appreciated, nothing is too much trouble for them. I recommend their pasta with nduja, their French onion soup, fillet of bream with leeks risotto and their pastries and desserts, particularly their fudge and profiteroles :)

Bib Gourmand, have you eaten here? Robert & Jaime run a fantastic kitchen. Best value/ beautiful cooking, unfussy service and puds to die for!

Introduced an american friend to her first english roast and yorkshire pudding. She loved it. Jaimies home made bread was a big hit as well. I had the excellent lentil roast dinner which has a deliciously rich mushroom sauce accompaniment. My top tip - leave room for the deserts. We both had the lemon tart, which jaimie had baked. Pastry was light and crisp and filling creamy and sharp excellent combo.

We have been visiting the Yellow House for many years each time we visit the UK. The experience has always been wonderful and last night was as expected. This is a gem of a restaurant with a great staff and terrific food!

Thanks again Yellow House for a wonderful meal, great place to enjoy superb cooking and time with friends and family

This place is so lovely. Always a good atmosphere with really good service. I have never had a bad meal here. One of my favourite local restaurants.

Fantastic evening of superb pizza in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Excellent local eatery - what more can you want? Dishes created and made with passion, great flavours and super chilled surroundings. Starters of bourbon sticky pork, haddock goujons were fab. Mains of Hake with miso braised butter beans and chicken caesar salad were spot on. The creme brûlée lived up to expectations and the vanilla cheesecake with apricots was so yummy I forgot to take a photo!

Good for and service . Not very busy on this occasion which is a shame for such a lovely venue.

Four of us went and had a gorgeous Lamb Sunday roast with all the trimmings at The Yellow House and we were all tempted by their lovely homemade cheesecakes, ice creams and strawberry tarts. What a lovely afternoon had so much so we didn't want to leave. The personal service and atmosphere here is unrivalled so if you haven't tried them go book your table. Thank you for a lovely experience ❤️

Love The Yellow House. The staff are always kind and attentive without being OTT. Food was absolutely delicious with really generous portions. The mushroom risotto was yummy, the rosemary garlic bread artisan and tasty. I could probably live on the homemade fudge- it’s a magical thing.

Nowhere in the area better to eat than The Yellow House. Food is always first class and friendly staff who are always willing to help.

Came to our local Yellow House with my boys for a Fathers Day Sunday roast and we all absolutely loved it. Great service, great homemade bread and the best roast dinner ever with Yorkshire Pudding heaven. Desserts were pretty special too.

Best pizza and fresh desserts, including home made ice cream! In Surrey Quays and Canada Water area! Highly recommended!

Have used this restaurant since it first opened and service, staff and food has always been first class. Would recommend to anyone.

Service was really good as there was 13 of us. Did we lovely and everyone find something that they liked as the menu offers something for everyone. Will differently go back

Delicious food and a great dining experience,, as always. My fish was perfectly cooked and my husband really enjoyed his steak. Very good service and the staff were friendly and professional.

We went to The Yellow House to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday. The food was excellent and the service was very efficient. The freshly made deserts were delicious.

Another wonderful Sunday lunch at the yellow house. Delicious food, expertly cooked and convivial atmosphere. The puddings are always fabulous! Thank you so much Robert and Jamie for making our group of twelve diners last Sunday so happy.

The Yellow House is always reliably good. Today we enjoyed beautiful rose veal, buttery mash and green beans, followed by Jaime’s fantastic pecan pie. All washed down with an excellent bottle of Chapel Down Flint Dry Kentish wine. Service warm and friendly as ever. Undoubtedly the best restaurant to be found in the huge area of London between Maltby Street and Deptford.

Friendly and good value restaurant. Would definitely recommend.

We went to the yellow house for Sunday lunch before a gig at the Printworks. The food was delicious. Service was excellent and the espresso martinis set us up for the gig brilliantly

Best restaurant in the area. Food is always excellent, been eating in the restaurant since it first opened and have never had a bad meal or any ready for complaint.

Great place to enjoy good food in a relaxed atmosphere with friends.

Always delivers excellent food and the service is outstanding .. Thank you !!
