"The restaurant is cleverly designed, with it's casual surroundings much in accordance with the latest fad which is supposed to create a relaxed atmosphere of sophisticated coolness . I found amusing the old suitcases springing out of the wall and momentarily enjoyed concentrating on the collection of postcards attached around one of the pillars in the dining area. Although it was lunch time, the restaurant was almost completely empty. Two ladies which had taken their seats around a near-by table fragments of seconds just ahead of us, left the premises hastily after the exact amount of three minutes. Only the adjacent booth to ours was occupied by an elderly lady and her vivacious -i guess- granddaughter, industriously absorbed in colouring a book. To our great chagrin we found out, only too late, the main reason for such depressing desolation. The restaurant was not anymore in the habit of serving alcohol to patrons. Alcohol and pork were totally banned, one's favourite ice-cream would never be served again affogato in rum and goodbye hog roast. At that point we were a bit tired and much too hungry, and rain kept falling outside with a rhythm that did not encourage any further explorations in the upcoming area of exotic Bermondsey, so we put on a good face and remained seated. It's true what they say, the more you can't have what you want, the more you want it. I acquiesced to drinking plain mineral water, while my palate was crying out -silently- for a pint of cold lager. Anyway. We had liver on toast, fish fillets, burgers with chunky chips and hot brownies with vanilla ice-cream and strawberries. What a delicious meal it was. When served our food had a certain air of confidence about it, as a direct reflection of a kitchen that knows what is doing and what the kitchen is doing is a very good job. If you like liver, this is definitely a plate to sample, delicate and earthy at the same time, flavorful beyond belief. Fish was succulent, fragrant, delicate, aesthetically beautifully presented. As much as I greatly admire the out-of-scratch creation/invention of bright new, phantasmagorically fancy plates, with extravagant ingredients and all the rest, I reserve greater respect though for someone who manages to infuse such a great taste to something as simple, as long-established and as aged as a hamburger. There is nothing truly special about a burger, it's a bun cut in two slices which contain a patty of ground meat. Big deal. But making something already in circulation for at least one hundred years taste that great, well, this is what breaths truth into culinary art. There's just something absolutely visceral, which takes one back to atavistic primal instincts, about holding a bun between one's own hands and biting into a succulent patty of ground beef as fresh onion rings and ketchup try to drip down and soil ones expensive tailor-made trousers;wouldn't really recommend it as a meal to eat on a first date with an elegantly gentle, born and raised in Mayfair, girl. But as neither of us was a girl, let alone from Mayfair, we relished our burgers with great gusto. This happened to be one of the best medium/rare burgers I have ever tasted in the UK (the States and Argentina are a different kettle of fish). As a result to being the only patrons in an otherwise empty restaurant, staff, though slightly unmotivated, seemed only to eager to help, thus the service was overall very good. Would I return to a place which doesn't serve alcohol, even though the food was excellent? Well, it is all about choices, isn't it? Although we might live in a society spoiled by and overindulged in choices, I firmly believe that the more choices people are able to consciously make, the happier and more stable society appears, at least to my innocent eyes. In consequence I make the choice never to returning to BG."

Call me pedantic but I assumed somewhere called 'Grill and Bar ' would serve alcohol. I was surprised to find that having sat down and chosen our food, we were unable to order a glass of wine.

I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. There was no nice glass of wine, the menu was mediocre, and the batter on the fish was horrible. Additionally, my wild mushroom penne had more button mushrooms than wild ones, as advertised. Overall, I will not be returning to this restaurant. I would rather spend my money elsewhere and enjoy a better dining experience. Visualizza piatti

The staff at this restaurant were very welcoming and were able to arrange a last-minute reservation for my dinner. However, we were not told that they did not serve alcohol or allow BYOB. If I had known this beforehand, I would have chosen a different place for this occasion. It would be helpful if this unusual policy were made clear at the time of booking, especially for an evening meal in London.

Our group of four ordered a variety of dishes at this restaurant and we were all impressed with our meals. The homemade tagliatelle with tender rabbit, perfectly cooked steak, lamb, and fish (particularly the cod and chips) were all delicious. The prices were reasonable and the service was helpful and friendly. The desserts were just as fantastic as the main courses. The only thing to note is that the restaurant does not serve alcohol, but there are plenty of nearby spots in the Bermondsey area to enjoy a local beer. Overall, we highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

We often recommend this hotel as its next door to where we live. I tell visiting business people to my company to stay. NEVER AGAIN. Popped in for breakfast. Place empty. Turkey rashers!! No sausages. We are in England and like typical English breakfast. Or a bacon sandwich. Or sausage in a bun. We left and didn't order. My sister is staying there tonight. We had planned for 12 of us to breakfast there tomorrow not now. Never again. Hej the cafe in the square crowded stupid marketing person at hotel I wonder how the balance sheet looks for your empty restaurant. Offer kosher. Offer halal. But remember you should cater for everyone Visualizza piatti

We were told before we booked that no alcohol would be served, which was fine as both of us were just looking to go out and enjoy a nice meal. The staff were lovely and the food was really great, but the restaurant was empty and had no atmosphere. We had starters of squid and poached eggs which were both very well cooked, followed by the steak and salmon again both were full of flavour. We visited on a Saturday night, and I can only imagine how much business is being affected by the owners decision to run this hotel by Sharia law. They need to aim it at health food, or clean eating customers, with mocktails etc on offer as a way to make it more interesting. Otherwise I can't see business imp...

We've been coming here for the last 3 years, normally once every couple of months. It's a lovely local restaurant and serves absolutely great food. The maitre'd is fantastic and she recognises us when we come in which is really nice, particularly in restaurant packed London. We went last night and were dismayed to discover that alcohol is no longer served. We're not ones for desperately needing a drink when we eat, however, it's great to have a nice bottle of wine with dinner. The restaurant was empty, bar one table of four behind us. I appreciate it's the new owner's decision as to whether alcohol is served or not but, he/she will have to live with the consequences. Sadly, so will the staff...
