The manager checked and he refunded her money and gave her a free meal which was nice of him but it has put up off going there to that particular one.

We were sitting right at the back, there were bits of food in all the button holes in the seat. It was pretty gross.

This is a cracking little spot in East Dulwich/Peckham Rye…read more The Herne Tavern is best experienced during the summer, this year was a unique occastion as our British summer seemed to last more than a few days so the Herne's fine beer garden could be enjoyed more frequently! The selection of drinks on offer is pretty good, always a few good guest ales as well as some lovely flat cider (which can be as dangerous as it is tasty!). The beer garden also has a large decking area where they often host losts of family events, only the other week when I was there they had a clown entertaining the children. Its great to see an establishment that manages to balance itslef as being welcoming to famalies as well as being a place where people can come and let of some steam after a heavy working week. Worth a vist (or two!)

The Weir pub has a couple of good qualities, and a few things that let it down. So, good stuff…read morefirst; - Location. This pub is sat next to the Thames. Its pub garden looks onto the weir (hence the name) of Walton On Thames. The garden itself is made up of about 30 wooden tables, so come the summer months, you can get your food, or your pint - I will take a large glass of Sauvignon - and sit and gaze out at the river; the boats going past, people ambling past with their families or their dogs, or even their fishing poles - it is a glorious place to be on a hot day. However, when it is not a hot summers day, this pub reverts to being quite a bog standard affair. It is perfectly decent, nothing wrong with it, but the food is typical pub fare, nothing to write home about (it is just that everything tastes better when eaten outdoors, in the sun, don't you think?) Also, this pub has the problem that it is near precisely nothing. It is down a long road which has nothing else on it, so you have to drive here. That means no more than two drinks and then it is back to the apple juice. If you were to come here for lunch on a warm day, you can walk or cycle or even sail up by coming along the towpath, but that does not sound very enticing on a winters day really. I would save a visit here until it is nice weather, and then bag an outdoor table as fast as you can!

I arrived to The Weir by boat on a Sunday. The Weir is a great big Victorian looking building, with…read morewooden tables with umbrellas attached to keep you cool in the sun. It situated by the river, so you can get their by boat, they also have a path which walkers and cyclist come down. I did see car parking as well. I ordered a lovely Pims for £3:95 and I also ordered a Lamb Shank with veg for £11:95. The meal was a lovely hearty meal, the Lamb was tender with the veg being well cooked, that you could taste the nutrients in it. The staff were lovely, and attentive. Being that the pub is near the Thames, with its lovely surroundings its great to take pictures around the area. The Weir is family friendly and has real nice atmosphere to the place. I don't know when I'll be down these sides again, but I would surely make a stop off.

I absolutely adore this fantastic Italian restaurant and deli! My fiance and I have been here…read moretwice; the first time was on a quiet weeknight and we loved it so much that we decided to visit again on a weekend when his parents were visiting us in London from Canada. ROOM: On our second visit, we didn't make a reservation and it was very packed but the very friendly waitress led us through to another section of the restaurant and seated us. From the front section of the restaurant, (which looks absolutely tiny) you'd never guess that the entire place completely opens up behind the deli next door and has lots more seating back there but it does! Unfortunately, having no reservation, we were seated at the very back of the restaurant which also seemed to double as a storage area so I spent the entire meal facing an enormous pile of cardboard boxes. However, the place is very clean and tidy, (this includes the toilets) and is very nicely decorated with interesting artwork and olive vines hung on the ceiling and nicely furnished with wooden chairs and tables. During the day when the restaurant is closed, the next door deli is open and sells everything you need to make an authentic Italian meal at home as well as a huge selection of panettone. SERVICE: The service was fast and friendly, even on our second visit where the staff were very busy due to the volume of customers. Several members of staff served our table. You get the feeling it's a family run place (and it probably is!) FOOD: The food is absolutely delicious! I love seafood and fish so I ordered the seafood risotto which included some of the freshest mussels I've ever tasted and well as some absolutely gorgeous crab meat and calamari. My other half ordered a pizza which turned out to be massive and SO delicious! The quality continued with the dessert too. I go absolutely nuts over tiramisu and the one served at Olive Garden has to be one of the best tiramisus I've ever eaten. You get a very generous helping and it's presented so beautifully on the plate that you could easily mistake it for a wall hanging or something. The wine was top quality too. My only problem with the menu is that there's quite a limited selection of meals to choose from. This, combined with the unfortunate location of our table in the storage area are the only reasons that Olive Garden haven't received a full 5 stars from me. PRICE: Olive Garden is very reasonably priced indeed. You get a lot of top quality food for your money. Service charge is included in the bill. They accept all major credit and debit cards.
