Independent food establishment in London

“Lovely gem of a shop. Some very interesting products and an awesome team. Would strongly recommend checking them out.”

“Banstead Vintners is a superb, independent wine merchant. They are invariably friendly and happy to talk you through your purchases, respectful of budget, and never try to up-sell. Their knowledge is second to none as well, and will guide you well if you give them a little idea of your tastes. A superb business.”

“An independent wine merchant ( love the independents, support the high street) packed with great and different wines. Friendly staff with excellent knowledge and happy to go the extra mile. Great pop up restaurant events and wine tastings too!! Oh and it has a wine bar so you can sit and enjoy a nice glass! Thoroughly recommended!!”

“We really enjoyed our breakfast. It was absolutely fantastic and the staff were super friendly and catered for extra requests. A wonderful place to start the day in London.”

“Very nice shop. The two guys working there do like their job and make you feel very comfortable, giving you advise about their whisky. A place to see! ... back there today, after a few months and I always recommend this shop.”

“Booked at Cafe Below for a colleagues leaving meal, we were all extremely happy with our meals, I think we ordered nearly every individual item on the menu and all of them were delicious. Lovely and attentive service, speedy and efficient and everything was very reasonably priced. Thanks, would definitely recommend and return next time in the area.”

“Amazing please for Breakfast and lunch. I have tried many items, never expected it will be as much good. You should try the Top chapter and chapters burgers. This is the best all of Love this place, excellent service, environment and foods.”

“Such a fantastic place to stay. Came for a Valentine's night away from kids and had such a nice time. The room was big, clean, and had all the expected amenities like soap, shampoo, coffee, tea etc. Place has so many quirky features including our room that had a skylight that looks up to the pavement in the street! It was still private, but just a sight idea of naughtiness makes it fun. Highly recommend.”

“Well stocked with lots of vegan and organic products also does evri collect plus ups Amazon pick ups we’ll recommend local shop”

“Excellent village convenience store. Friendly staff, good enough variety of products and the prices are competitive. Self checkout, or normal tills. Recommended.”

“I went to see The Batman here because on Friday, the tickets were only £10.99 (plus processing fee). The seats were very sloped so no one blocked my view of the screen. This is a major plus. The guy at the counter was friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a really good experience.”

“Staff are brilliant and nice always happy to see you but work so so hard in Iceland you need to give these guys a rase only down side is they used to have home delivery now it has stopped shame its got alot quieter now we have been shopping here since it opened always helped my mum out cheers great team”

“Friendly. Great value and ethics”

“Very polite and helpful. Great shop Would recommend to use it”

“Love it. Today we went with kids to watch sonic 2, for kids it was a first time experience - Cinema, they love it. Before I was worried as they were small, I didn't know how they will react to very loud noise and if they will be able to stay that long in their seat, my kids r 4 and 6, and they did behave well and had a great time, popcorn and after movie Ice cream.”

“Authentic Portuguese food Really good !”

“The staff are great and know their stuff and are several sensitive to individual budgets”

“The nicest staff around!! I dropped and lost one of my AirPods under the aisle and the staff went out of their way and spend a good amount of time to help me look for them. So so appreciative - thanks to Julian, and the other man I didn't get the name of.”

“Excellent and very good customer service They have a large section of products and at reasonable price”

“Went to this co-op early morning on a Sunday and i was the only customer in there. They had what i wanted from the bakery section. This co-op has 4 self service tills some which take cash aswell as card.”

“Nice shop , max everything is available”

“Was blown away by a superb dinner here on Sunday night. The service was friendly and helpful with simple things like taking and hanging up coats and brilliant with more complicated things like a food allergy. We had three courses and drinks. A great variety of food and drinks on the menu to suit everyone and the food was spectacular. My sea bass was perfection and my husband said the same of his lamb roast (a Sunday specialty). The restaurant fit out is top quality and the soft music and lighting excellent. Highly recommended. We will be back regularly and plan to bring friends and family.”

“Absolutely the best coffee shop around. Food is great, there are always a selection of freshly homemade cakes and treats plus a couple of quality savory items to chose from. The coffee drinks are excellent, they rival any of the great independent coffee shops in central London. The best thing about this place is the way it feels. It’s only little (as the name says) but it has a warm, lovely, homey, authentic vibe. (In normal times) there’s always a rotating crowd of people at the tables inside and outside, chatting and enjoying their neighborhood. When I moved to the area I found it hard to get know people but I always felt welcome here, wound up meeting the owners and lots of other patrons and got to learn a little more about the area thanks to the owners’ commitment to engaging with the wider community. Although they have been delivery only for the Covid period the tasty treats and warm vibes are still present. I can’t wait to be back in the shop again soon!”
