The Cambria - (Near Southwark, london)

Phoebe Worsnop Absolutely amazing rare beef pho, up there with the best I’ve ever had! The broth is incredible, so light but with such a depth of flavour. Can’t recommend enough. Pho usually only on the menu on Saturdays though! Lovely, friendly staff too. Banh mi also very good, nice selection of fillings and delicious iced and hot Vietnamese coffee.

Ash Baigent You can’t beat these £5 pizzas! This is my local and I go here as often as I can. The pizzas are great, there’s not always a huge amount of protein on them but for a fiver you can’t complain. I’ve been getting into the “carbonara” recently which comes with a hash brown on top! Sometimes the dough is still a little soft in areas and when it’s busy there are long queues but worth it for a cheap tasty and filling dinner.

Stephanie Blenko Currier Its taken us a while to get a Sunday booking here, but after our recent meal I can see why theyre so popular! We really enjoyed their refreshingly original take on a Sunday roast that still celebrates the flavours and ingredients of the season. We were particularly impressed at the portion of the main meats, which although pricey, provided very good value for money. I was very grateful that the staff were knowledgeable and confident on gluten free options - our waitress quickly brought over a menu marked up with hand written notes on what was safe and what could be accommodated. We were so full from the meal that we opted to share the peanut parfait for dessert, but it was so moreish we found ourselves wishing we had ordered two. Really looking forward to coming back again soon to this cozy and inviting pub.

D B I stopped by a Caribbean takeaway and was genuinely surprised by how good the food was—truly exceptional. Even with all the five‑star reviews, I didn’t expect to be this impressed. We tried the curry chicken, and it’s hands down the best I’ve ever had. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the basmati rice was fluffy ans perfectly cooked - not quick‑cook variety, which can be on the firm side. Every bite was pure pleasure, which I didnt want to end! Well done Chef. The decor is a tired, but the food more than makes up for it. What I appreciated is that the prices were super reasonable and reflected the demographic of the area. By keeping the cost fair, the place is set to earn / already earning a steady, loyal crowd rather than inflating costs to maximize short term profit. Theyve got this right ✅️ We will be back.

Gabriel Kusimo Lovely modern establishment with delicious variety of cuisines. Owner AJ is friendly and accommodating.

Joel Miller Stopped by The Phoenix recently and it’s genuinely one of the better bars I’ve been to around this area — easily deserves 5 stars. The place has a really easygoing feel to it. It’s lively enough to have a good atmosphere, but still chilled so you can actually relax and enjoy yourself. It just feels like a proper local spot where you’re comfortable straight away. Big shoutout to Sam as well — Sam was the best server there. He was absolutely amazing the whole time we were there. Really friendly, quick to help, and just made everything run smoothly without any fuss. Service like that honestly makes such a difference to your night. Another big plus is the prices. For London, they’re very good, and you actually feel like you’re getting your money’s worth. All in all, great vibes, great value, and standout service from Sam. Would definitely recommend and will 100% be back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
