Putney, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

2021 Review: This yearling all-day brasserie near East Putney tube “has succeeded where several other restaurants have failed”, by following a formula of “good food and value for money”. “It knocks the socks off the Bill’s or Brew and their wannabes”.

“Sat in an outdoor pod with the family, drinking mimosas and with lovely views of the river” is a key feature of London’s two outposts of these comfy venues (part of a national chain), both of which have riverside terraces featuring all-weather igloos for year-round fun. The Italian-ish food in the dining rooms is “unexceptional”, but “their lounge areas are cosy and just the place for morning coffee or afternoon tea”.
