    Meatball appetizer
    Brian W.

    Really 3.5, but it was not good enough in my opinion to warrant going to 4. First, the place is like a long and expansive hall, with nothing really breaking up the space. It felt like being in a big dining hall at school. I would have appreciated a little more intimate atmosphere for an Italian restaurant. I seemed to have no waiter/waitress initially, as the hostess (I believe) seated me then came back to start taking my order. A little later a waiter came and served me the rest of the evening. I had asked the first person whether the pasta or pizzas were the way to go, and she indicated they were both good. I decided to go with a pizza, and there was a choice for a make-your-own pizza. I really love prawn or shrimp on a pizza, and although this was not a listed ingredient (for the make-your-own) it was on one of the specialty pizzas and they said they could do it (also with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and rocket). The waiter did say that it would be "small prawns." I also ordered the meatball appetizer. It took a pretty long time to get the appetizer, and when it came I was disappointed in the meatballs. They were super dry, and so the flavor was really only from the sauce. It came with a couple of slices of toasted bread that were also pretty plain. There was no bread with butter or oil for the table, although there were some appetizer options with focaccia. After a disappointing appetizer the pizza came. The pizza was cooked well, and there was definitely more flavor in the pizza. I was, however disappointed with the prawns. I do realize that in the UK the word prawn has a meaning different from how we use it in the US, and the waiter had said "small prawns", but these were definitely 61-70 - almost the smallest size available, and regarded as extra small in anyone's definition of prawns or shrimp. I cannot imagine that the same product is used in the pasta dish with prawns. It may seem picky, but for me the extra small variety they used just lacks the same flavor of a larger size. Together with the super dry meatballs, slightly confused service, slow timing, and lack of atmosphere, it pushed my experience into the 3 star zone.

    My dinner,  excellent!

    Went here for happy hour, they have 2 for 1 drinks. They were strong and a little on the sweeter side, but the bartender was very pleasant

    Oh HELLO new local! What a find, what a night. Having heard about Wunderlust, I have been meaning…read moreto visit for some time and look behold it is right round the corner from me! I reserved an area for 40 people for the boyfriends birthday and couldn't have been happier with how the evening went. They reserved us a huge area which spanned both inside and outside the mismatch building. The first thing you notice is obviously the big red bus that you can actually dine upon. The next it's quirky greenhouse-esq. interior and then you can head out into their back garden area that has tables, a raised greenhouse area and plenty of available seating. They have a cocktail happy hour from 5 till 8 where cocktails are just £5 and they're pretty damn strong cocktails! And they also serve some fantastic street food. I opted for the wunderburger and it was god damn wunderful! Perfectly cooked juicy patty, topped with cheese, bacon and all the trimmings. Just wunderful! The only negative I have is that once they started getting busier the wait for drinks was rather extensive due to all the cocktail making so I'd just recommend a few more staff on those busy nights. Other than that I had the perfect evening and my boyfriend enjoyed his birthday immensely. Fantastic venue and another Deptford hidden gem!

    Came here for a eventbrite event called 'One Sweet Social' with a friend yesterday night it was…read moreonly £3 a ticket and you get free ben and jerry's ice-cream with new flavour concoctions, frozen cheesecake and cocktails. It was about the social groups and charity groups in and around the Lewisham area and how us the community can help! There was also live music from artists in and around Lewisham and they all had a similar message and that was that we as a community, are all one and that we should work together to keep the area we live in a happy place. This was a good event and they should have more of these events around london. I didnt stay long (about an hour and a half) as i had work the next day but i would have stayed much longer! The venue itself, Wunderlust is quite a quirky place it has a huge red bus situated at the entrance and sells german hotdogs (hence the name!) Its decorated pretty with fairy lights and is like a little hidden den as it has like pathways which lead to different rooms and areas.. would recommend checking it out of your in the area..

We had a party of 13 so I understand there would be somewhat of a wait and that the whole Dining experience might take a while. We dined on a Tuesday night and the place was quite busy! It took at least 30 minutes from sitting down to get our drinks and another 10 on top of that for them to bring out some bottles of water. It seemed like our server was training someone new. They could have been more efficient, but it took a long time for them both to go around the table and enter in our orders. We were at a work after hours function so we all ordered from the 3 courses for 45 quid option. All of the starters sounded good, but I was slightly disappointed in the drunken dumplings as there were only 2, but the presentation was cool with them pouring the broth into the bowl at the table. I wish I had ordered the cheddar and shrimp toasties as they looked quite good! This place has awesome & fun cocktails, hence the Alchemist name. I didn't realize this at first so ordered a Mai Tai which was not nearly as exciting as some of what my colleagues ordered. Second time around I ordered the red zombie which came out smoking with a test tube vial of absinthe to add in! Definitely cool, but also a bit strong. I had the ribeye steak for my main. It was delicious! The cauliflower and potatoes very good too. Had the next level chocolate brownie for dessert. My only thought is it could have used a bigger scoop of ice cream compared to the size of the brownie but it was delicious! So good, in fact, that I had to finish every last crumb. The ambiance was nice. The bathroom was clean, but a little hard to locate. All in all, I would definitely come back if in the area again.

    One of the better cocktail menus I've ever experienced anywhere in the world. The presentation was…read morefantastic, but the flavors were also spot on. Very unique, yet approachable. We did not eat, but would absolutely recommend the cocktail experience.
