Low-quality food. Avocado on toast seemed as if it were premade and paste-like. Terrible quality bread and the flat white I offered tasted like stale milk with coffee stains pouring over the sides.
I would not recommend, a very disappointed and complete waste of money, especially based in Wimbledon village

Went for brunch in a group of ten on a Sunday. Food was tasty but portions were really small and two of the party didn't initially get their food. When we asked staff where their meals were, they came over and took their orders again, despite having read back the full order initially. When their meals did come they were on regular bread when they both had asked for sour dough but they were too hungry to bother mentioning it by then!

Reserved a table for Sunday morning, for what was meant to be a lovely relaxing Sunday brunch with my partner. We were sat down, and grunted at by what I assume was the manager. We were then ignored for almost 30 minutes, so made the best decision I've made in a while to simply walk out. None of the staff even questioned this as they saw us leave. It was utterly inexcusably bad service. Even if you're busy, just explain this and tell us there'll be a wait, there's really zero excuse for such terrible service. Please don't waste your time coming here if you like to be treated like a normal human

To be honest, I was disappointed. Went for Brunch with my family x five of us as it was my daughter's 17th birthday. The food was really average - weak tasting porridge, burnt fried eggs with hard yolks. All lacking in imagination. I can't say anything positive.
Maybe it was a one off, but I won't be going back.

Sheer disappointment! Ridiculously poor service and food! Food well below average. Took 15 minutes to get water for the table. Out of 3 meals ordered, 2 were made incorrectly. Ingredients in salad where not as shown on the menu… chosen specially to meet my allergies! When mentioned, I was told the ingredients were correct until I asked to see the menu again. No offer to replace meal! Cappuccino whisked from under my nose because it was a different customer… After I had checked that it was correctly ordered for me. Manager only apologised when called when paying. The manager and staff lack basic

️⭐️⭐️⭐️Superb Pork Chops in a delicious gravy with potato cubes and perfectly cooked beans. Friendly and tentative service. A wonderful evening meal. The extended outdoor seating gave us plenty of room. Clean table, fresh flower and pretty candle to add to the atmosphere. ⭐️Five stars next time (had to wait a bit to long for the bill).

I really like this place - very cute atmosphere and delish food. I would say that the portions were a bit small for the price and the service was a bit lacking but we were also in a rush.
For brunch, I had the duck hash with poached egg and peppercorn sauce with a side of chorizo. Amazing, but the side of chorizo was smaller than any chorizo i had seen ever!
My friend had the avocado on courgette fritter, equally tasty but also quite small.
My other friend had the cod which looked amazing and was quite filling so definitely more value for money there. All in all, i would go again, but just

Just had lunch here. Food good but sat for an hour waiting for my friend who was delayed and wasn't offered anything other than my initial jug of water. Then waited forever for coffee and the bill to find we'd been overcharged. I think there was just a lack of energy in the service and I was quite disappointed so didn't pay the optional service charge. Could do better
