Great breakfast place & light lunch. You have to try the sausage rolls as well as the pancakes (only available on Saturday, but to die for) Filo tarts are great (especially salmon) and I really enjoy the toasted sandwiches. read more

Service is slow though; there was only one waitress manning all the tables outside. The prices are expensive: my avo on cornbread was the cheapest at about 6 pounds or so. The avo portion was a bit skimpy compared to others I have gotten but definitely enough to coat the bread. I have to say though I expected proper soft cornbread and this was more of a hard bread. The superfood salad was a steep £11.50 but it was fabulous: slightly spicy puy lentils atop greens, and a very generous portion at that.

He really upset not just me, but also my 80 year old Aunt and my three children who were with me. All we wanted was a hot drink after returning from a rowing boat trip ( where it had rained) very cold and wet. He refused point blank to serve us saying he had turned off the hot drink machine. We had arrived 15 minutes before closing time! When I pointed out that the cafe was still open the rudeness just erupted from him. My only regret is that I didn't read the reviews before going. We were on holiday from the Midlands and he ruined our holiday and certainly gave a poor impression of Southern hospitality. Horrible, horrible man and horrible, horrible experience. AVOID!

If you are an expat, this will be your new comfort food craving after your first visit. Our group ordered three different sandwiches and shared many brunch dishes and they were all amazing. They serve their buttermilk pancakes topped with bacon and a generous helping of syrup on the side. The eggs benny came with fries and was delish as well. All of their amazing sandwiches come with an individual pickle that is made in-house. We shared a Chicken Cobb (Corn fed chicken, smoked bacon, avocado, blue cheese, boiled egg, tomato, red onion, lettuce & mayo on 3 slices of toasted white), The Toronto (Slow roasted topside beef, melted English cheddar, leaf lettuce, tomato, pickled hot peppers, red onion, & horseradish mayo on toasted sourdough), and The Medley (Roasted turkey breast, smoked ham, bacon, melted cheddar & emmental, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickled hot peppers & basil mayo on toasted sourdough). This place is locally owned and the vibe is very laid back. We went around 12:30 on a Saturday and this place was packed. They take reservations so you might want to make some (we did). Overall, I will definitely come back.
Like most American ex-pats, I'm amazed at how the country that invented the sandwich can't make a…read moreproper sandwich. There are few things in the world less appetizing to me than two pieces of pre-packaged soggy bread with one slice of ham drowning in a gallon of mayo that's been sitting on the Pret a Manger shelf all day. In America you only see stuff like that at gas stations, and even there they hold the mayo. In England, they put so much mayo on those sandwiches that it actually gets listed as an ingredient. So whereas you'd have a chicken sandwich with mayo in America, in England it becomes a chicken mayo sandwich. That's just wrong. And nasty. Enter Pickle & Rye. If this place were in Soho or South Kensington then there'd be lines out the door. True Mortlake is in London's upscale southwest and thus home to several affluent American ex-pats, but I feel like that this gem of a sandwich place is missing out on a golden opportunity by being stuck out in the middle of nowhere. It was a trek to get to even from Fulham, and I've got plenty of friends who think that Fulham is enough of a trek already. Or at least that's their excuse for never coming to visit us. This place would merely have to not completely suck to be one of the best sandwich places in London, but it's really taken the art of the sandwich to another level. The owner / head sandwich dude is a culinary school graduate who roasts all their meats, cures his own corned beef (known around these parts as salt beef), makes his own dill pickles (which are easily the best that I've ever had in England) and Russian dressing, with the result being the finest reuben this side of the Atlantic. I will gladly return to the middle of nowhere for another one.

The bagel was really good and the man behind the counter served it to me with a smile, from what I remember. Overall this is a good stop-by joint. I give it two thumbs up.
