Adedayo Erinoso Having worked in chicken cottage years back, I found it fascinating to visit again and I enjoyed my meal. It was something worth commending. It was not a busy store. I was attended to promptly and the staff gave me all the attention. It was a clean store and I enjoyed my meal. However the chicken seems somewhat salty.

Sue C I am so pleased to find just a normal cafe! Prices are not inflated to some boutique cafes, and the food is top-notch. I havent been able to find a good old bubble and squeak on a menu for a long time! Oh, and it was spot-on, as was the bacon, eggs cooked to my taste, tomatoes, and sausage. A lovely couple running the place, too. My breakfast set me up for the rest of my day! Even managed to park, literally, right outside for free - another rarity. Thank you.

Dev Desai Many thanks to the team at The Crown for making the arrangements for our son’s 10th-birthday gathering of 17 guests so effortless from start to finish. The staff and management handled it with calm good humour and quiet efficiency. The private room had been beautifully prepared well in advance (see photos), spacious enough for everyone to mingle and chat comfortably rather than feel marooned at opposite ends of a long table. It struck exactly the right balance between celebratory and relaxed. The place is perfect to get people together. A small but charming touch was the way the servers arrived announcing whose dish they were carrying, which our guests found both helpful and oddly delightful. It gave the whole service a lightly personalised feel. Send a spreadsheet of diners and choices in advance to make this happen. The Crown team, led by David, were warm, attentive and accommodating throughout. Thank you for making it such a happy afternoon for our family. We’re lucky indeed to have such a fine food-led tavern so close to home.

Gerry Farrell Had a wonderful dinner last night. As always delicious . Tasty Lentil and prawn starters, veal, meatballs , farfalle and creamy shrimp sauce. All beautifully cooked . Charming staff , comfy chairs , great space between tables, quiet and cosy atmosphere. Most importantly really well priced ! Thank you very much

Giles Moorhouse Or Old Faithful as I call it. Been frequenting this place for literally years as its the only true greasy spoon between Colliers Wood and Wimbledon. Great portion sizes, good value and theres a secret garden so you can dine al fresco should the weather permit. In an area full of pretentious eateries touting smashed avocado on sourdough bread, check out Cafe SW19 for a much needed dose of breakfast how it used to be.

J and As Playtime Delicious Somalian dishes. The restaurant has ample seating in the basement and is a real hidden gem. The platter that we purchased for 3 people was tasty and packed full of flavour but felt it was slightly less ij volume compared to other Somalian restaurants The private party room is a fantastic feature for small gatherings. Parking is a nightmare with pay and display only ontbhe side road 9am to 9pm 7 days a week.
