Ben Slater We had Sunday lunch here and loved the upstairs area. Its a place with lots of soul, with relaxed family & kid friendly vibes and lots of good views over the canal. Roasts were super tasty, and everyone seemed friendly. A stones throw from the edge of Springfield Park :)

doga tercan Shoutout to the amazing Tiramisu!!! Such a lovely space with a warm, friendly team. The pizza was great, we had the aubergine and the seasonal fig pizza, both absolutely delicious!

Reinna Rosales This is by far the best Turkish restaurant we tried! We thought that this place is a normal take away shop but it was a proper sit down restaurant:. We ordered their mixed kebab, portion is good for 1 person but for us it was more than enough for 2 people. All the meat taste so good & well seasoned. I am not a fan of salad yet i managed to eat a lot of their salad!! The sauces were spot on… and the bread —- . I asked for another serving!!! We ate beyond satisfied… excellent in all aspects from food, to the service as well as cleanliness!!!! We will definitely be back

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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
