AmandineDecember 4, 2015My favorite place ever for breakfast brunch lunch... The staff is super friendly. The food is yummy. And the atmosphere is super cool! It's definitively my local hang out! Love it there.
His NibbsAugust 30, 2014His Nibbs is delighted by this charming establishment. Their special coffee blend is rich and deep, and they always accommodate his request for a side order of hollandaise to go with his big Big Ben.
One of my favourite local places. Really relaxed, lovely food menu (though I still miss the chicken wings). Occasionally have had to wait AGES for food at peak times though.
Vee SethuJanuary 1, 2019Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Had the charred flatbread with beetroot hummus & pickles for brunch. Quite good, but left thinking it was a bit average/overpriced. The place itself is lovely though!
Lisa Talia MorettiNovember 9, 2014Queues are mental on the weekend and although the service can be slow, they have free wi-fi, great coffee and a delicious selection of all-day brunch. Lush.
Eljay BeeNovember 2, 2013Yummy brekkie/brunch....its animal friendly as well if you need that sort of place. Meals served on old school enamel styled plates. Friendly staff, enjoyable and reasonably priced.
Adam KhalidAugust 18, 2013All burgers are £7 on Sundays (except the Salad Dodger). Go for the BC burger - voted one of the Top 10 in London!
Adunni AdamsNovember 6, 2016The best veggie (easily converted to vegan) burgers ever! Gin and tonics and amazing. Great service and lovely decor. Well worth checking out!
Lindsay LovellFebruary 15, 2014Expensive cafe, but tasty and perfectly cooked. Save room for the peanut butter brownie! Service is a bit aloof but I'll be back to try the burgers, they looked great.
Anthi KiriNovember 8, 2017Slightly expensive but the food is well worth it! Very friendly and welcoming environment :)
James GunnSeptember 21, 2013Definitely recommend the chicken burger and avocado side. Blueberry, banana papaya smoothie tasted like cheesecake. Great service to top it off!
Mr POctober 25, 2015Brunch... But get here early to avoid the queues. 90 minute turn around time at weekends.
- Lisa Talia MorettiNovember 9, 2014I had the smashed avocado on sourdough with roasted vine tomatoes. Next time I'm getting the pulled pork Benedict eggs.
H BombJuly 2, 2013They big up the burger and it is pretty decent. Flat White tasted more like a poor cappuccino. At least it was free w/ 4sq. Really good relaxed brunch vibe especially when sunny and the doors are open
James AllenJuly 15, 2012Not only have they managed to produce the best burger South of the river but they also put a steak on top. What's not to like?
Pulled Pork bap: hugely messy, but massively worth it. Delicious. This place is bloody great.
Katie FergusonOctober 14, 2014Brunch. Pancakes, sweet potato fries and the fritters. And the smoothies. Most of the menu really- Dan Hopchet ✨October 26, 2015Very friendly staff, nice vibe to the whole restaurant and dog friendly!
Rachael CummingsSeptember 3, 2012Try the homemade Ginger Beer if you like to taste real ginger. Served from a sweet little bottle icy cold!
Steffi CJanuary 1, 2015Must visit for brunch- food is delicious, I recommend ordering the hash brown.
Alberto Dalla LongaMay 11, 2013It claims to have one of best burgers in town...and it does! What a beauty! ;)
Ben WaltonOctober 10, 2011Try the Naugh-tea (whisky and lapsang tea) ice cream via Gelupo, a flavour exclusive to Ben's Canteen.
William CostaOctober 25, 2015The food is great; however, the service isn't up to scratch. Quite a long wait, unfriendly staff and the front door should be closed when it's 10 degrees outside!
Lani LamDecember 27, 2011The pork belly was amazing here. Not on the menu ATM but i hope it comes back soon.
The double stack burger is ridiculously good. If it's on, get on it.
PDT BlogJune 24, 2017Another place that I don't understand what all the fuss is about. The Bloody Mary is good but that's it. Can also be very noisy during brunch.
Efrosyni LogizidisNovember 23, 2013Don't go on a Sunday morning. You will have to wait for at least one hour for a burger you can easily find elsewhere in clapham.
Ross GroomJune 12, 2017Very casual - went for drinks/dinner but seems to do everything from brunch to Burgers.
Modi ElnadiDecember 23, 2012Service is below average as they don't write down orders and end up forgetting items. so keep your expectations low. Food is good and the vibe is relaxed. professional service plz
15 minutes for our drinks to make it to our table despite 5 people behind the bar and not many customers.
Christopher JenkinsDecember 31, 2015Service is super hit or miss. Better places for coffee, limited vegan/veggie options, but food is good not great.
