The Yellow House Bar and Kitchen in south London’s Surrey Quays near the shopping centre is a big, warm hug of a local bar and restaurant. The owner is on site and usually in the kitchen preparing one of three menus on offer: the restaurant menu, the grill menu and the pizza menu. The Yellow House had an earlier incarnation in Plough Way, but has moved to more intimate premises with a slick, post-Industrial vibe when it comes to décor, but still the same perfectionist’s attention to detail, relaxed ambience, warm welcome and passion about the food on the plate. Locals love this place. The Yellow House European cuisine offers dependable classics like grilled Scottish beef burger on ciabatta with hand-cut chips, thin-crust pizzas from the wood-fired pizza oven, and seared snapper with basil mash, minestrone and rouille. There’s a log-burning stove in the bar for wintry days and a great selection of wines and draught premium lagers.

Excellent food and friendly, welcoming staff, as always. My husband really enjoyed his flat iron steak and my tiger prawn risotto was delicious. The wine list is good with decent wines reasonably priced. The restaurant also has a nice bar area with a fire and some banquette seating.

I highly recommend this bar/restaurant which serves fantastic and absolutely delicious food at affordable prices. It’s right opposite Surrey Quays station in South London and there’s free parking on Southwark Park Rd. Ideal for couples and families alike. There is plenty of space around the tables for wheelchair users too. On my most recent visit, I ate the silkiest most delicious tiramisu I have ever tasted which is just as well because I opted for that over my usual favourite Yellow House dessert of six pieces of the house fudge! Dress is smart casual. There’s a lovely cosy vibe and a garden for the summer with a pizza oven. They also serve roast dinners on Sundays.

Another great meal, oxtail ravioli then a Sunday roast, followed by a home made pudding. This local restaurant deserves your business. It is also right next to Surrey Quays station so no need for anyone to drive.

This is a good local restaurant and I’ve enjoyed many meals there. The food is good although the meat balls I chose recently were over cooked for my taste. The service is friendly and helpful and the ambience is convivial.
