As always, we had a very nice family meal at the Avalon. The food for the kids is great so as the space for them to move around. The grown up had a great time with great food and nice staff. Level of service was great despite the presence of two big tables (20 each) at the same time.

Loved it as always! One of our favourite places, local to us, great food and atmosphere. Pizzas were amazing and turns into a very busy bar for drinks late on Saturdays which is great.

We really enjoyed our lunch. The food was interesting, varied and very well presented. Prices for this part of London are extremely reasonable and portions generous. The staff are exceptionally nice and highly efficient. On yesterday’s evidence, we couldn’t fault it.

We booked a table for 6 for our work Xmas dinner but didn’t realise we had to pre order our meals in advance. The staff were extremely kind and accomodating and agreed without fuss that we could still order from the Xmas menu. Food was delicious, well and truly stuffed.. so much so we couldn’t manage the mince pies! Thank you.

To me the Avalon’s Sunday lunch is the best in south London. Great starters, lovely roast and a great desert selection. It’s on the more expensive scale, but we’ll worth it

Nice atmosphere, good food and helpful staff - couldn’t want for anything else! We came on a Sunday afternoon/evening with two little ones and could not have been treated more considerately - big table with lots of space, crayons for the kids, great menu for adults and children, and the food for the smaller ones was brought quickly - ideal.

Had to sit outside after staff assumed we could eat a Sunday lunch at a sofa with a low table. Confused our food order. Staff were not very accommodating. Tried to call 10+ times to alter booking and no one answered the phone.

The restaurant was very well decorated and we had very good service. Top marks for the roast beef and lamb shank. Sadly the roast potatoes were not crispy and the nut roast had hardly any nuts in. Saving grace was the cauliflower cheese!

Really disappointing afternoon here - we waited 30 minutes to have our order taken and then 45 minutes after that we received or starters.....some calamari and some raw chicken skewers! We of course sent it back decided not to stay to eat our mains. The bill was waived but I would still be reluctant to return.

Staff is friendly, food is decent. They were out of the wagyu brisket which we really wanted to try. I got a burger which was above average. Not really a place to catch up with friends for a quiet dinner. We were there at 5 on a Saturday and it was pretty loud and hard to hear our dining companions, lots of stag do's and 20-something birthday parties.

Staff were too busy that they did not attend to us in the restaurant area. We had to go to the bar in order to order drinks. The food was nice but it took ages to come. We even tried to stay for a drink after and were ignored at the bar by all staff so we decided to take our money else where. Not impressed!

Good food, in particular the pizza was very good. Two minor points they could work on: the croquettes on the small plates menu were not available, but other croquettes were (for the same price as other small plates) on the daily specials. However, our waitress insisted that they could not be pat of the three for GBP 15 offer on small plates. Economically pointless and inflexible. Secondky, we had to wait a very long time for our mains. Apparently we had been forgotten amd had been too polite to chase them.

We waited 20 minutes to get the waiter's attention to order and eventually had to go up to the counter to get his attention. My Sunday roast had no potatoes. What?! And my nut roast was too soft and lukewarm at best. The waiter took the service charge off the bill, at least.

The meal was fine. Thai corn starter was very nice, the main (steak) was OK. We did not stay for desert as it was too busy and noisy in the restaurant. Service was a little slow, there did not appear to be many staff on duty.
