Village Bar in Southwark

TOO GOOD TO GO ORDER: When arriving, there was a 15-minute wait. When I was served, I was told to pick 2 pastries and then left again whilst the waitress served others. 2 pastries do not equate to £12 as D.Village has stated and is misleading to consumers of TGTG.

Tried the crepes after seeing a sign advertising themselves as a crepery but it was really poor. Really bready and barely any filling. Wouldn’t buy again. I wish places would learn to do things properly.

We paid £4 on Too Good To Go for "a Surprise Bag filled with tasty pastries, sandwiches, bread, cakes or salads - all depending on what's leftover that day" and were given two old croissants. I'd expect to pay £4 for two fresh croissants anyway, and the TGTG description promised a lot more. When this was raised, staff were very dismissive and made me feel very unwelcome. Poor pricing, and poor service.

Lacks atmosphere, not sure whether its a cafe or a deli

Service was great but for is pretty mediocre. Asked If the pancakes were freshly made and was told yes but they were clearly out if a packet. Definitely better food options about

Excellent service and food, will definitely return!

Food was very tasty. Was a warm and friendly atmosphere. The “upsale” was a little too much but politely done. Would come again and recommend to others.

Lovely atmosphere, delicious food & and great team welcoming us

Great experience, lovely food and nice we could sit outside yet relatively private.

I recently visited this coffee shop and was thoroughly impressed! Their coffee is top-notch, and the crepes, ice cream, and breakfast options were delicious. The variety of pastries made it hard to choose just one (vegetarian options including)! Friendly and welcoming service, don’t forget to ask them about smoothie options, it’s a must! The outside terrace was perfect for enjoying the weather, and the deli selection blew me away with its variety. I truly enjoyed every moment of my visit and can't wait to go back!

Stale pastries. Quite disappointing

We had brunch here and it was very good. Be sure to book as it’s very popular

I ordered food using too good to go, two weeks ago and went there to collect it. Not so friendly waitress said to leave there is nothing there for me. They cancelled the order later, saying there was no food left even if I saw the counter was full. Location is great!

Got a tuna panini to go and had to throw it away before finishing. Bread was chewy, and there was something in the sandwich (the mayo I think) that tasted off - it definitely wasn't made today! I'd feel less bitter about it if I hadn't paid £6.75... Server was friendly but won't be coming back.

I recently visited a delightful cafe, perfect for a relaxing break. It offers ample indoor and outdoor seating, serving an array of teas and coffees, and delicious paninis, my favourite being tuna sweetcorn.

2/3 items were old I had to throw them away

Acai & Berries Smoothies is very good as it is very fresh and not too sweet.

Perfect for Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch. The menu is delicious!

Really didn't enjoy our visit here, the server wasn't really interested and didn't listen to our order. Milkshakes were advertised but not served, cakes were all pre-packaged, no atmosphere 😞

I would like to support independents but I really don't care for this place. The coffee isn't very good and there is no atmosphere and the chairs are uncomfortable.

Excellent place and very friendly. Amazing coffee and good prices

Just ok. Service not great. We stood at the door for a long while before being served (we had booked a table). Multiple staff walked past us, even if it is not their job to seat us, they could have at least acknowledged us. We were served quickly at the table and the food came quick. We were offered the bill as soon as we’d finished eating, clearly couldn’t get us out quick enough. There were flies in the restaurant, one couple sat down and left 5 mins later because of this. Food was nice, but they had ran out of mushrooms which left the veggie options limited. All in all, ok but not the best, don’t think we will be returning.

Lugar muy agradable, chiquito y confortable. Me encantó

Really great food. Had breakfast, set us up brilliantly for a day of shopping!

This is a lovely shop for coffee, cake pastries, and other goodness with some outdoor seating as well. I enjoy going here on days off, having something nice, and enjoying a book.

We booked a table for breakfast at 915 on bank holiday Monday. Seated immediately, coffee and food delicious. Happy to swap breakfast items. Venue lovely, staff friendly and attentive.

One of the starters arrived cold and should of been hot as it was a sausage roll. Main course batter on fish not cooked, no vegetables inc in half roast chicken, and vegetables with salmon main were limited. Won’t go back and would not recommend.

Stale and tasteless produce , almost inedible. Good service. No-one else in cafe; Now I know why!

We actually ate here twice in one day - one for a ‘picky’ lunch and coffee, after a 2hr drive to meet in the middle each. Then we booked for 6pm that evening and we spent too long catching up earlier in the day over lunch, meaning we needed to push our 6pm dinner back to 6.30pm. They were very accommodating and made this happen! Prawns to start, salmon for main were both delicious! The pudding was a little disappointing, as they had no brownie or apple pie left, so I chose the victoria sponge - this was a bit disappointing. It was dry and tasted like it had just come out of the fridge as the buttercream was solid. The only disappointment. A range of drinks - coffee, cold drinks, wine, gin and TRIPP juices. I sat on the sofas waiting for a friend for a while with a laptop to catch up with some work. The staff were all very attentive.

I have to say I don't normally eat in anywhere in this area because it's usually very posh and it used to intimidate me however it is literally squashed in between where I grew up and where I currently live. The food was beautiful the service was absolutely lovely the lady who served me was very friendly I would happily come back here again I give thanks to the do too good To Waste app that got me to this establishment. I did buy an oat milk and hazelnut latte while I was there as well

I visited this place on Saturday , the staff was very friendly , the food really amazing , nice homemade pies , a lot of pastries and savories options . We had mushroom lasagna which was WOW .. and Spinach and Feta pie was out of this world . And their sandwiches were looking amazing definetly will go back and try some of their selections and buy some of their Deli stuff , They have Volcano coffee as a brand which is a plus as it is a local brand based in Brixton which makes them on top 🔝. Good job guys , well done .

A great little independent cafe with really good coffee and a selection of sweet and savoury food. The cafe also has a small grocery section with a lot of Italian products.

Suffering from the competition as Dulwich is just swamped with coffee and Bistro. Still lovely people but guess they as others have been done down by feudalism.

Booked a table prior to coming to Bicester Village as I thought it would be better than trying to get a table somewhere, still had to wait over 15 mins from the time of our booking to be seated. Once seated sat there for ages before we were even asked if we wanted a drink. Menu really poor especially as we have someone who is coeliac in our family doesn’t show what’s gluten free on menus. Food was overpriced for what we received. All in all wouldn’t go here again.

The food at farm shop was ok, my friend asked for scrambled eggs instead of poached which we were told the couldn’t do…. The food seemed a little over priced for a very simple breakfast. And when we finished out breakfast there was a clear rush to try and get us out and off the table.

Had long drive from Wigan North West yesterday. Really am now becoming as rusty long distance driver . Before I did think of visit to Carlisle as usual before crossing to Scotland well back to London. Am feel rusty waking up this morning

Great coffee and food. Just had the lasagna and salad, and it was out of this world. Even the coleslaw on its own was worth travelling for.

Really disappointed with the menu , we have visited the farm shop many times over the past few years and it was one of our favourite restaurants to go to but the whole menu has changed since our last visit . There is very little choice and the quality has changed , the food was nice but we’d pre booked our table so once seated we had to make the most of it or leave and find somewhere else that had availability at that time of the evening . It’s a real shame as it was outstanding on our last visit, sadly tho we doubt we’ll return when we are next at Bicester and we’ll probably try another restaurant instead.

Fantastic Staff, food was delish..would definitely return.

Food poor….simple order of poached eggs…delivered cold and inside of egg was uncooked. No garnish….incredibly average. Restaurant looked amazing and staff were great!

The staff at this restaurant are just amazing, they went out of their way to make our experience a memorable one and catered for all our cultural needs. Will definitely be visiting here again.

Great cake and drinks served promptly Service wasn’t always with a smile but they can work on that. Thank you

The salads was nice, the staff was rude and not friendly at all

Lovely welcome and ambience, seated at a large table by a wonderful member of staff. Service was efficient and fast with drinks and food. Felt very looked after. Shame the amazing Sweet Potato Fries are off the menu. Please bring them back!

Great service, fab food - perfect breakfast to set us up for shopping

Nice space good architecture , Amazing Light

I booked in advance and requested a gluten free afternoon tea for one of the guests, no knowledge of the request on arrival. 1 toilet out of order the other blocked! 1 afternoon tea arrived and I have to say it was stale! Not a great experience, luckily I was with really good friends!

Sea Bass was too die for! Totally recommend! Hosting was over zealous to say the least , constant interruptions whilst eating by servers , too the pint of feeling uncomfortable, felt like they wanted us to leave even though restaurant was empty

Fabulous atmosphere abs service. Great vegetarian/vegan options too.

It was very cold there. No constant waiter/waitress so took the service charge off

Perfect for mid morning brunch before shopping! Would recommend

We absolutely love the Farmshop and are regular visitors as we live in Bicester. This time we had an amazing Mother’s Day breakfast food was amazing and the best thing about the place is the lovely friendly staff.

Great little spot in the sunshine 🌞 Good food and wine 🍷 Empicable professional service. Will definitely go back 👍

The food was lovely & the service was great. However, after being seated I asked if we could move somewhere warmer. At this point we were informed the heating had been broken for 2 days now & since the restaurant was closing in 2 days for refurbishment they had decided to remain open. Everyone was eating in their coats as it was so cold & the food barely stayed warm once it arrived. We were charged full price with service on top. Not offer of a discount for the cold ambience. No advance warning before or on arrival about the broken heating. We only found out after complaining & there was nothing offered to compensate. It smacked of taking customers for as much money as possible given they had a captive audience with little alternative venues available in the Village. I won't chose to go there again & I won't recommend it. But .... had they done something just to sweeten the situation or even forewarned us, I would have cut them some slack. No reflection on the chefs or waiting staff - just a very poor reflection on the management ....

Great lunch, tasty food, good portion sizes and fab service. What's not to like?!

Delicious simple late lunch - staff were lovely and accommodating. Will definitely be back!

Staff very friendly. Menu options varied and cater for children very well. Also some halal chicken options and good for vegetarians too

We asked for an allergen menu and was not provided with one, instead the waitress said she could confirm allergens. She could not and my friend had to reorder food after being told her original dish did not have the allergen but turns out it did and she had to order new food. During this the rest of the tables order was still put through to the kitchen so while us two received our food our friend still not had not ordered hers. This all could have been avoided if you had provided the allergen menu which you are legally required to do. The food tasted good but the issues with the allergen was a big problem for us, and we were still charged the service fee after all of that.

An excellent venue for a working breakfast menu. Superb food and environment.

We visited whilst enjoying a shopping day at Bicester for my friends birthday. Absolutely cannot fault the service at the Farmshop. We were immediately shown to our seats and within minutes were presented with Bellinis by the restaurant manager (didn’t catch his name - but thank you!) it was a lovely treat and completely unexpected. Food was absolutely delicious and arrived at our table within no more than 15 minutes of ordering. The decor is stunning and very true to the branding of Soho Farmhouse. The ambience is very pleasant and the music is just fab… such a fun atmosphere to dine. Highly recommend! We will be back!

Excellent food as always with good sized portions and top quality service. Lovely staff.

All-round great restaurant. Well-placed in Bicester village, surrounded by great shopping, and the interior ambience is beautiful and rustic. Food was very satisfying - I got the vegan burger and chips, which was very hearty and delicious; my partner got the plant-based rigatoni bolognese, which was absolutely brilliant too. Service was outstanding, we felt extremely welcome and well taken care of, and the time to service was very efficient. The place does tend to get a bit loud with all the people and music, but you can comfortably converse without having to shout. Would definitely recommend!

All diners including myself were eating with their coats on it was freezing in the restaurant. Food arrived tepid and turned cold quickly. When greeted at the door 2 mins late for our booking we were abruptly asked if we called to inform them and an eye roll followed when we explained that we didn't realise we were 2 mins late

Outstanding food will return the breakfast we had was really nice

Food was average but over priced. Eggs royal could have had a garnish or maybe side of tomatoes. Have had better for half the price.

Loved it … will def go back service was fab food was great

Another lovely place serving good coffee in Dulwich (how many are there!) The patisseries are good here too with some unusual but pleasant surprises. The sour dough bread and muffins are highly recommended. Give this place a try👍

Simple but great food. Really nice ambience - very buzzy, comfy seating and had some festive decorations too. Nice friendly service. A good bolt hole after a day shopping at Bicester

Loved the feel of the restaurant. Did not enjoy sitting in a small area of screaming kids - we were two adults! <br />Food was lovely and service good

An Italian deli/cafe which spells espresso with an x... Food and drink were both great (Mama Mia ciabatta recommended) but the spelling is unforgiveable 😉

We really enjoyed our meal, the service was friendly, the food was lovely and the atmosphere was great! We will definitely come again thank you

Great food and excellent service, slightly overpriced for food but will definitely go back.

Waiters were not attentive. Delayed service. And some staff rude to other guests. Some team training needed.

Excellent experience dining here. Food delicious and so fresh. Staff were friendly and very attentive. Would definitely recommend the prawn tagliatelle!

Great choice for the family; the service was excellent - attentive but not oppressive. The food was tasty, although served at prices typically expected in London, not Buckinghamshire.

Great place - shop and then take a break to have a meal!

Lovely food just what we needed after a days shopping<br />Friendly helpful staff

Had a late lunch here today. Very enjoyable afternoon. The food was great and the staff were very friendly. Will definitely be visiting again 😊

Ate here for the first time and thought service was good , the food was excellent decent sized portions . Good choice of drinks.

Food was cooked to perfection, a nice range of choices avaiable.

Service was slow, waiting 10 mins to summon the bill but food was served quickly. Food was overpriced and potatoes £5? A casual father and daughter meal for two was nearly £90. <br /><br />Found a hair in a meatball but dropped it so couldn’t complain at the time

Food is amazing very friendly staff highly recommend

Friendly deli cafe. Outside covered area at front. Surprisingly free parking outside.

Wonderful location and ambiance and atmosphere<br />Wonderful Food - the Salmon was amazing!<br />Will definitely visit again next time I’m at the Village!

The menu had changed from the last time I went with my children, and it was noticed that the childrens menu had been removed. Also, some things on the main menu had been removed too. Would be good to see the burgers back.

We had a warm welcome and the butter chicken curry I had was delicious. Everyone else enjoy their food

Amazing food and service. Second time at the Farmshop and both times have been excellent. The food is full of flavour and you can taste the freshness.

Great service after a warm welcome. Nice food too!

Staff very friendly and helpful. Limited menu. Some items appeared reheated, but flavours nice. <br />Pretty much Covid friendly and felt safe. QR scanning at front not great as was told only lead needs to do it which is not the case. <br />Clean and made a nice change to eat somewhere.

The variety of products is simply amazing and the staff is very sympathetic:)

I like this place and the ambience. The food is usually very good. The coffee can sometimes be a bit weak though.

Nice coffee place and deli, good range of foodstuffs

Tried a few vegetarian dishes takeaway, good flavours and fresh taste.

The starters are varied and so tasty. Service is great, the food came out really quickly.

Great experience. The staff were super helpful and the food was really yummy. <br />Will come back again soon.

A very enjoyable dining experience in every way and particularly in these Covid times. The management of the situation could not have been handled better

Thank you for a lovely meal, we felt very welcome, the food was very tasty and the service first class.

When I arrived, the staff made me feel I&#039;m still welcome after I was being 10 mins late for my booking. Provided us with a lovely table by the window. Order was taken by friendly waitress swiftly and the food arrived promptly. Quality of food was beyond my expectation at the highest standard. <br />Overall, very enjoyable experience and will visit again soon.

Loverly breakfast, excellent organisation under the current conditions

The pancakes were awesome, everything tasted fresh and homemade, excellent service. I can&#039;t wait to book again.
