The best restaurants serving British food in Village Southwark London

I travel across London regularly just to eat here. A firm favourite for me, due to the great staff, excellent menus and beautiful decor.

Came across this place while waiting for a bus. Food nice, staff very nice, reasonable price. Amusing cross match of clientele. Old ladies with blue rinses having a matter over a cup of tea and burly builders tucking into a brunch. I loved the chicken and advocaco salad. All happy punters, just like me.

Absolutely delightful lunch. We arrived during Friday afternoon, we hadn’t booked but we were welcomed by a charming and helpful waitress, Sienna . We had a delicious lunch-perfectly cooked and served in a really lovely dining room. It was such a pleasure to find a restaurant of this quality near the Picture Gallery, and we will certainly return.

Rather an odd menu, focusing mostly on breakfast/brunch type dishes, with 2 or 3 Japanese style dishes thrown in. You order at the counter & the food's brought to your table. I was surprised though when the smashed avocado on toast with marinated chilli & poached egg, priced at £10.75, was rung up on the till at £12.09. When I queried it, I was told this was the service charge, yet there had been no actual service. If I'd not been happy with the service, hardly arduous simply involving bringing the food to the table, presumably I'd have had to go & ask for my 12.5% to be refunded. Added to this there was a container by the till labelled 'tips', implying there was no service charge. Very bad practice and rather annoying. The food was good though despite the odd rather limited choice.

I came with my mum on a sunday and had a delicious (and huge) roast dinner! Our waitress Haliya was the sweetest and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the whole time, we will definitely be back!!
