    Delicious meal for two, each plate stood on its own and the crispy croissant dessert is still on my mind.

    Loved the experience. Cosy by candlelight and buzzy without being loud. Service friendly, helpful and efficient. Sadly lost a star because the pasta a tad too al dente for us. I know it’s Italian, but not for me. Everything else yum.

    Loved everything about this place. The food, the wine, the vibes, the service — all 10/10. Every dish was so well considered and the flavours hit the palette perfectly. Would come back again and again, and again!

    I'm really starting to struggle with the over-used small plates/big prices formula that's been becoming more and more of a trend especially around North and East London. If you're going to charge as much as Popham's are for small plates, the experience should be memorable and the food was average at best. The price/quality ratio is very poor. I can think of places with a similar vibe around Newington Green that out-do this place by far. The duck carmelle was not evenly cooked. The octopus puttanesca was more like a puttanesca with a sprinkle of octopus. However the dessert was amazing. It was the croissant pudding and it was off the charts. But £10 for a dessert? Since when did we accept that's just ok? I think what I struggle with is that Popham's isn't really fine dining so I don't understand why these prices for such small - even stingy - portions are ok. At the end of the day it's just pasta in a local neighbourhood restaurant...
