The best restaurants serving British food in Ladywell Lewisham London

I highly recommend Rock and Sole Plaice in Lewisham! Their fish is perfectly crispy on the outside and delightfully flaky on the inside. The homemade tartar sauce and coleslaw are exceptional, adding a fresh and delicious touch to an already fantastic meal. Don’t miss out on this local gem!

Really good quality, large portions. Worth waiting for

Having just experienced a masterclass in bad service, I was moved to write a first-ever restaurant review. My wife and I walked in mid-afternoon without a booking on the off-chance there'd be an available table. After checking, the maitre d confirmed no tables inside - fair enough - but that we could eat outside unless we wanted to wait until 6pm to eat. Outside we went and sat in a heated booth with a reserved sign. The server then told us we would need to move but couldn't confirm what time the booth booking was due, and all the other reserved signs were just there to help manage walk-ins. Odd way to handle it, but no problem - we moved to a non-booth table and the server kindly moved a patio heater for us, took our order for a roast each and placed our cutlery on the table. He then returned to tell us that in fact there was no food available. As in, no honouring of our order, no starters available, no food at all. On questioning he said it was because they needed to 'protect advance bookings'. No answer to what would've happened had we waited until the 6pm table; seemingly no solution for walk-ins whatsoever. So we ordered a cold sausage roll bar snack. And then the cherry on the service cake - the poor server was sent out by his maitre d to collect our cutlery. No attempt by the maitre d to apologise, make any attempt to explain, comp the cold sausage rolls or offer us a round of drinks. If we'd been told at the beginning there was no food available, we would've understood and left without spending money on a round of drinks (and the cold sausage rolls). It will take quite something to convince us to return. To the owners of The Talbot - you've done a lovely job on the renovation, your food looks great, and you've created a great vibe. But your customers are your lifeblood and your people are your key strength and you seem to have forgotten both those essential points.

This place has got to be one of the most ripoff for pricing of a drink in the Lewisham area that I have ever encountered. To charge £7.25 for a pint of beer is outrageous. Whilst Moretti might be seen a drink that such pricing can be justified, somehow I doubt it, the price in other nearby pubs is way below the Ladywell Tavern. AVOID.

A little gem in Ladywell. Splendid rear garden which was just great in the sun - with a good amount of shade. And the coffee was really, really good.

- disinterested staff - overpriced - grimy cups and sticky tables My friends and I are massively disappointed as this was our local go-to. Won't be returning unless the standards pick up. Needs some comptetion I reckon.
