What Clients Are Saying The Place to Eat (GG)
5 /5 Tim Husain: Great cafe inside John Lewis. Lovely views of the River Thames and Kingston Bridge. Nice food and especially delicious cakes. Staff very friendly too. Also had toilets and phone charging facilities.
5 /5 David N: Its absolutely amazing. With views directly across the Thames.
The staff are extremely polite, friendly, and welcoming.
Its so worth a visit to just sit back and relax.
Food is great 10 our of ten and it is standard prices not London prices.
Disabled access is perfect another 10.
2 /5 C D: Frequent JL customer but have never stopped at this cafe before. Probably wont go back mainly due to hygiene issues.
Manager/supervisor who was serving coughed into his hands then proceeded to hand us some napkins with the same cough splattered hands…
Very dirty and stained teapot, cake looked like it had a piece bitten out of too, would have been nice to have a full slice rather than one with some missing!
Coffee was cold due to the amount of time the same unhygienic staff member took to prepare the other items.
Cakes weren’t up to the quality and taste I’d expect of John Lewis either.
Lovely big space with nice view over looking over the Thames. Plenty of choice in regards to food and drink.
5 /5 Avenues 2016: I came here for afternoon tea after a walk along the Thames. As with all branches of The Place to Eat I have been to, the food and drink were excellent, the staff were very kind and helpful and the service they provided was brilliant. I would certainly visit again if I am nearby, and I would recommend this place to others.
Carly Rose We visited here based on the 5* reviews so I thought it only fair to leave our own in support of this brilliant business.
I reserved a table a week prior to our visit. This pub is tucked away and I didn’t know it was there even though I know the area very well. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The pub was full so obviously a popular choice and of all ages. The food was amazing, every mouthful was delicious, it was made and cooked perfectly. I can’t wait to go back. We had dinner but I might go back for a wrap for lunch. A* service, so friendly and helpful.
Rosie Barnes-Dennison What a beautiful restaurant! Throughly enjoyed my food and experience here. The service was outstanding and our waiter for very knowledgeable.
We chose the Sunday Lunch set menu - which was a fantastic choice!
As a vegetarian, there was a great selection of food for me to choose from. I will definitely be returning!
Madeleine Bell A really lovely pub lunch, a great environment. Food was delicious, perfect portions. We went for 11.30 and it was very quiet, but fairly busy when we left at 14.00.
Service was done by Laura, who was a great waitress. Handled our larger group fantastically, was very funny and looked after us very well!
maxwell powel Cosy and welcoming vibe. The menu is surprisingly extensive, covering everything from a breakfast to authentic pizza & pasta. I love their signature touch -fresh pomegranate seeds on every plate on the table. We tried breakfast with my son and daughter which was superb good portion and my wife tried their home made bolognese pasta. We all absolutely loved everything about here. We also booked for Mothers Day already.
Looking forward to come back again.
