SW16 Bar & Kitchen

"Popped in for a quick spot of brunch on Saturday. The place has a nice ambience and the waiter was very friendly although it took a while for us to be acknowledged at the door. We ordered the short rib benedict, salmon royale and polenta chips to share, as well as a coffee each. The food came quickly and all of the dishes tasted great. Short rib benedict was packed with flavour with a good hit of spice from the nduja hollandaise, and the salmon royale had a good serving of salmon and a delicious black garlic aioli. The polenta fries were exceptional, served with a delicious miso mayo. The portions were quite small though, both dishes served with only a single poached egg neither of which had a runny yolk. I feel that SW16 Kitchen has the potential to compete with some of the really great bougie brunch places in South London, but getting a poached egg right needs to be top if the agenda! We did really enjoy the food but it is quite expensive, our bill came to over £40 in the end. Unfortunately SW16 has adopted the increasingly-common-in-London practice of adding on an automatic 12.5% service charge, which is a bit excessive for a 30 minute stop for brunch."

"Service was brilliant. Staff very friendly and helpful. Dinner menu is short and seeet with very tasty dishes. Happy hour as well just before we arrived and staff let us know to order before the cut off. Would happily go again..and will"

"Tldr; great atmosphere and live music, food wasn't great and lukewarm meal even after sending it back. I went here for a friend's birthday. The atmosphere was great, loved the set up and the really friendly staff. Disappointed by the food, the mini tacos are literally bite size but tasty, duck croquette was fine. The truffle carbonara wasn't warm enough for the cheese on top to melt even after I sent it back and there was a lot of fatty bits and not so much meat on the bacon. Other than that good night with love music."

"SW16 Bar and Kitchen roast is an absolute delight! I was in on Sunday and the weekly roast was porchetta. This comes with seasonal veg, carrots and a healthy portion of potatoes and gravy! The meal was truly as tasty as it looks in the photo. Also it was reasonably priced at £18.50 which includes a glass of wine! Highly recommend a visit, I will be back!"

"Fantastic food, fantastic service, great selection of both food and drinks. Staff are so nice, prices are very fair given the quality and it has a great atmosphere. Had the beef tartare and truffle carbonara and both were *chef's kiss*"
