The Coal Shed London - (Near Southwark, South East)

4 /5 Georgina Wheatley: We really enjoyed our Valentine’s lunch. The staff were warm and inviting and gave us a nice experience. Fantastic tuna and scallops to start, then cod and steak for main. The cod was a little overcooked but the curried mussel sauce it came with was incredible and more than made up for it! Also excellent chips. Lemon meringue tart for dessert which could have been more lemony and the pastry base was quite chewy but the raspberry and white chocolate were nice additional elements.

5 /5 Lianne Williams: WOW is an understatement. Traveling back to London from Tenerife to visit family we decided to try The coal shed as we had done the obvious...... And googled local restaurants. The coal shed jumped right out as the menu seemed to have something for everyone, so it was the winner. I have to say, from a couple who eat out alot and have eaten in many places around the world this was way up there #applause all round. From the warm welcome to the service, the atmosphere, the recommendations, the food, the wine, the dessert and the after dinner cocktails even for having to deal with one of those allergic guests massive appreciation for the kitchen team for the exceptional meals. Everything was just perfect for a catch up with my mum. Many thanks to you all especially Marwa our server and kat the most amazing hostess. Muchos gracias.

5 /5 Connie Ashdown: Pretty pricey but amazing, steak cooked perfectly. BYOB Mondays which few people seemed to be aware of (you pay a corkage but still way cheaper than buying wine at a restaurant). Best peppercorn sauce ever! It was an anniversary meal and the staff were very lovely, we got free fizz & a little dessert.

4 /5 Alice Gee: Its been a couple of years since we were last at the Coal Shed. On previous visits I always had the grilled seafood platter which has sadly disappeared from the menu. Dinner was good but flavours not quite as clean and bright as I remembered. Perhaps that was because this time we skipped starters and only had mains this visit. My companion loved his medium rare burger, where both the burger and the bun was redolent with charcoal. It came with excellent fries. I wasnt expecting to like them as much as did because they were rather pale in colour. However, exterior was crisp and crunchy and interior flaky and yielding. Well seasoned with a slightly sweet scented aftertaste which made me wonder if they had been fried in coconut oil. I chose the cheapest steak, the rump cap ,as i figured this is a restaurant who must know how to deal with less tender but flavourful cuts of beef. I was not wrong. Soft and smokey, and served with good bernaise. Very welll trimmed with no sinew and the fat cap removed. My sides were a mixed bag. Padron peppers were dependably good and served with a wedge of lime as well as a sprinkle of coarse salt. The big disappointment was the gratin of celeriac, leek and potato. Stodgy, mushy, and no subtly of flavour--just a heavy hand with cheese. The house red was a reasonable £35 a bottle, served slightly cool, which we both found pleasant.

5 /5 Emma Parkin: 2nd time here for my birthday and the customer service is always amazing. Free glass of preosecco for my partner & I & a free truffle chocolate for my birthday. The Roast is incredible and will always return.
