I booked this venue for a pre Birthday/Christmas lunch for 2 of my girlfriends, one of whom was going to be celebrating her birthday in Dec. I arrived early and was shown to the table and waited for them to arrive. The young lady who served our table was very friendly and helpful when choosing what to eat. The drinks arrived shortly before the meal, which was excellent and well presented. Would certainly go back again

This is a very well presented and staffed restaurant. Not overcrowded with too many tables, it offers space that prevents you from feeling like you are sitting on top of other diners. S well pleasant decor with an inviting bare area. The staff were attentive and efficient throughout my visit. The food was at the standard ss to be expected from this establishment. A service charge was included in the bill but the overall experience I believe warranted it.

Customer Service is unbelievable. The food is absolutely perfect, we went for the full sharing platter, there was sooooo much food. All of it so tasty and freshly made. Venue was lovely and nice with good tunes. Again the Service, the staff are so nice lovely and patient. I was so impressed, we also had hot drinks and added on plantain pancakes to the menu. All together £55 ..... So cheap, specially for the quality we got. Trust me, I complain about food and prices, so I don't say this lightly. I usually go Bill's, but Breakfast in Brixton has better quality food
