Vincenzo I recently had the pleasure of bringing my family, who were visiting for the holidays, to a local pub for their Sunday roast, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The Sunday roast was absolutely exceptional — perfectly cooked meats, crispy roast potatoes, and all the trimmings, topped off with rich, flavorful gravy. It was clear that a lot of care and attention went into every detail. Even my family, who can be a bit picky when it comes to food, couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was. This pub really went above and beyond to make our holiday meal special, and I can’t thank them enough for creating such a memorable experience for my family. I truly wish them all the best for the future because they absolutely deserve it. We’ll definitely be back!

Ammar Niazi Beautiful authentic Turkish food, went on a busy Saturday evening but staff was great, they did their best. Enjoyed our starters and main. Pricing was decent. Overall lovely experience.

SELEN A lovely spot for breakfast! I had breakfast here and everything was fresh, well prepared, and full of flavour. The menu has a really nice variety, whether you’re in the mood for something light or a proper breakfast. The coffee was great and clearly made with care. What I especially liked was the calm, welcoming atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff — it feels like a place you’d want to come back to regularly. Definitely recommended for a relaxed breakfast or brunch.

Soft Loaf So, I was walking through the streets when I found this wonderful spot. I decided to give it a try, and it was definitely worth it! The food was absolutely amazing, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The grilled chicken is amazing with their special sauce which added new and fab taste. They truly lived up to the saying, ‘always serve with a smile’. I’m definitely planning to return.

B Grossi Don Luigi in Streatham Hill is one of those rare independent restaurants that genuinely deserves more recognition. Everything here is made with care, using high-quality ingredients, and it shows in the flavour of every dish. Maria runs the front of house and is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Her partner Alessio is the chef, and you can taste the passion and skill in his cooking. The food is consistently excellent. The zucchini fritte are a highlight. Light, crisp, and perfectly cooked. The pizzas are outstanding, with some of the best dough in London (coming from a fellow Italian). The G.O.A.T pizza is my favourite and is one of the best I’ve had anywhere. Drinks are also done properly. The Negronis are made exactly as they should be, well balanced and strong (in the best way). The pasta dishes are also worth mentioning. The pasta is freshly made and there’s real attention to detail in each recipe. Every dish has its own character and flavour, and nothing feels rushed or generic. It’s proper Italian cooking. Don Luigi is a hidden gem and exactly the kind of independent Italian place people should support. It’s a restaurant built on quality, passion, and proper hospitality, and it’s always a pleasure to eat there.

Will George-Carey I’ve been coming here for years and for good reason - it’s brilliant. For the past few years there has been a number of chefs who take residency of the dinner menu here, and those that I have tried have been really good. The most recent dinner visit I went to was Marta Sandini who did a European-Asian fusion menu - was delicious! On a much more regular basis I come to Naughty Piglets for their lunch time sandwiches. Margaux’s Jambon Beurre is easily the best Jambon Beurre i’ve ever had and could well be the best sandwich I’ve had in London. There are other sandwiches available each time (shout out to the Pan Bagnat) but if you’re going for the first time then you have to get the Jambon Beurre.
