Blackboys Inn - (Near , london)

patrick jacobs Oh wow, wow, wow, what a fantastic place and what a fantastic owner and what fantastic food, I really can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. The greeting as we walked in was as if we were family coming around for dinner. I saw this place on Tik Tok and decided to take my daughter on a father daughter lunch date. We met at Brixton underground station and took the short walk to Etta’s Seafood Kitchen, don’t get me wrong it can be hard to find, but ask anyone once you get into the village and they will direct you. She’s been there for seventeen years so it’s well established. The strange thing is I only discovered it a day ago. Make this part of your day out because there is so much shopping you can do in the village. Ok so I was lucky because I had my daughter with me to confirm that the food was great, the inside of the restaurant is very eclectic and homely you literally feel as if you are in someone’s home and they are cooking just for you. I really wanted to treat my daughter so we went for the platter and ooohh it was so nice, it took a while but the food was being cooked fresh so the wait made sense. Don’t go there if you are in a hurry this is not a fast food joint, just make sure you have time to take in the atmosphere and enjoy the experience. The seating inside is decent and seating outside feels like you are inside because its covered, don’t be surprised if you turn up and its full, I can imagine that it could be based on everything I’ve said. While we were there the customers who came seemed as if they were regulars which is really reassuring. Back to the food, the platter is shown on my photos, its served with a glass of wine, I gave that to my daughter, somehow they noticed that and sent out a second glass, that was such a lovely touch. On the platter we had, calamari, crab legs, fried plantain, fried cod, prawns, little dumplings, akee and salt fish, and some great sauces. We also ordered the pepper prawns and mac & cheese, which was cheesy and creamy at the same time. Etta tries not to cook with too much pepper so if you want it with a kick just ask. We had a fantastic experience, because to our delight Etta took a break and sat with us and told us her story. She started with just ten pounds, “incredible and inspiring” now seventeen years later, here she still is. The food is well cooked and full of flavour and the atmosphere is truly homely and comfortable. Both my daughter and I loved every fork-full and will be back and will be sending as many people as possible to support this unique and exceptional independent fish restaurant. I will be back for sure and I know i will be greeted like a friend coming for dinner.

M An unforgettable dining experience. I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at this restaurant last night, and the evening exceeded all expectations. Despite the lively atmosphere and a full dining room, the service was seamless, attentive yet discreet, striking the perfect balance. Each dish was both visually captivating and exquisitely prepared, showcasing a clear mastery in the kitchen. The flavors were so enticing that we found ourselves ordering more than anticipated, no doubt to the quiet amusement of the brigade. This was not merely a meal, but a genuinely memorable occasion. I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone in search of refined cuisine, impeccable service, and a truly special experience.

chloe imlah Absolutely amazing hidden gem! All the waiters are elderly Italian gentleman which made the service authentic whilst all being very welcoming & friendly. The food was incredible! We both had fresh pasta for our main - it melts in your mouth. Loved the gnocchi the most! Will definitely be returning ✨

saif rafiq Wow the food here was exceptional! Really great fresh meats! Perfect seasoning blend in all of the food. Staff were really nice. The lady and gentleman in the glasses were so hospitable and made me feel very welcome. I went again on Saturday to try the lamb shawarma and that was great, paired with the chicken shawarma. Great hummus and salads too. Would definitely come again when I’m next in town!

Rajan Vekaria 5**** Superrrr Duperrrr Bumperrr service. Very good range for no onion-no garlic options.

Mira Shah Six Clerks is such a cosy and inviting spot inside The Law Society, The food was absolutely incredible. Chef Scott Dineen created a five course tasting menu celebrating British spring produce, and every dish was a hit. We started with London sourdough and burnt onion butter - simple, rich, and the perfect way to begin. Then came “Down the Rabbit Hole”, a beautifully done pressed rabbit terrine with lemon verbena emulsion and black olive - so delicate and full of flavour. Next up, “Eggs ‘n’ Soldiers”, which was hands down one of my favourites. A creamy Lancashire bomb custard, firecracker jam, a soft pheasant egg, and Wye Valley asparagus - comforting but elevated. “Mary Had a Little Lamb”—perfectly cooked Romney Marsh lamb, with smoked belly curds, morels, wild garlic, and kombu dashi. Every element worked together beautifully. “The Crossover”, a clever play on a hot cross bun with sherry caramel, whipped Baron Bigod cheese, and black truffle - sweet, savoury, and completely addictive. And finally, dessert: “The Humble Carrot” - a gorgeous mix of carrot cake, ice cream, pickled walnuts, orange marmalade, and dill granita. Unexpected, refreshing, and the perfect way to end. The whole experience was thoughtful, balanced, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.
