The Dutchie - Croydon

Great as always! Friendly staff tasty food and lovely cocktails. Nice little quiet birthday celebration for my husband. Please consider offering more than one vegetarian dish though! Vegetarians don't eat fish....

Lovely food, fantastic drinks and great staff . Was just disappointed that the service was slow on this visit. I Will still keep going again as the experience is great.

Food was really nice but service very haphazard. Waited ages for starter. Mains not served at the same time. Wrong meal for son so they had to return to the kitchen. Other son had eaten his meal before anybody else's meal was served!! Mine and my husband's meat and rice/ salad dish served separately approx 10 mins apart!. Not the sort of dining we are used to! It's a real shame.

Food and drinks were good and it's obviously very popular but the service was very very slow, even when we chased our order. Also far too loud to have a conversation around the table easily.

The appearance and vibe of the restaurant was good, the amenities are a little on the untidy side (not well decorated) but clean. Food was excellent - ordered curry goat meal but got chicken instead, but did not complain as it was delicious. One of party ordered lobster which was excellent but disappointed that we had to ask for the cracker and there was no plastic apron given as it did become a little messy and there was no finger bowl to use after the meal. Only other point was there were not many waiters/waitress around - had to keep interrupting those serving other customers. Overall, enjoyed the first visit to the restaurant and would definitely go again.

Excellent food and drinks. Was sat down on time. Unfortunately a miscommunication between ourselves and the waitress resulted in my food being bought out first then my partners 30 mins later because she thought we were sharing the plater which i ordered as my main!

Dinner at The Dutchie was great: warm atmosphere, tasty food in decent portions; and who doesn’t like 2-4-1 cocktails? The restaurant was a bit loud because diners had to talk over the very loud music but everyone had fun.

Delicious food and great service, this is an intimate restaurant with amazing cocktails that pack a punch. So good my boyfriend ordered takeout for the next night

Absolutely loved the food also the atmosphere was amazing. Cocktails were off the chain. Great experience. A little bit of home in the heart of Croydon....❤❤❤❤

Brilliance on a plate. Service is good but seems to be a slight time lag between ordrimg and serving the food which is inderstsmdable as the food tastes fresh...

Food was excellent. Service good. Portion size big. Atmosphere great! Went there for my birthday with family and really enjoyed every meal that we ordered.

Quality of Food and drink is excellent. Service could improve. Had to wait over an hour from arrival for some tap water. Our waiter was great, but Some of the other waiters weren't very proactive

Great cocktails and food. Service was also polite and efficient. Overall accessibility was a little difficult for my mom with all the stairs, to get in and go to the toilets.

I regularly eat from here but I get home delivery. Food was amazin as usual. Very high quality and presentation. Staff very friendly and efficient. I would recommend this in a heartbeat

the food was very tasty and presented well. our waiter, Malik was very polite and attentive. the background music was good and the cocktails were lovely.

The food was delicious, although the mac cheese was sent back because it tasted off. The service is slow and disappointing, but the food makes up for it. Cocktails are great, but boy do they make you wait for them! Deffo worth a visit for authentic Caribbean food but they could improve in the way of customer service

The food was great, only down fall was the mains came out half way through eating the starters and there wasn’t enough room on the table!

awesome food and service as per usual. cannot complain in any way😋

The food was really nice and well cooked but the service was shockingly. We waited almost 25 mins to place our order waited another 10mins for our drinks to come then 2 side dishes we ordered never came at all. Despite the 2side dishes not coming we were still charged for them and when we mentioned it to the same young girl that took the order in the first place she didn’t offer any apologies she just took the bill and said she’ll get it removed. We asked for a takeaway container 3 times before it was actually bought to the table.

I came here with work colleagues and must say I was very impressed. Really good food, attentitive service at very reasonable prices. Will be back!

Amazing food, amazing cocktails along with fabulous service. My second visit, just as amazing as my 1st. Always recommending to my friends. If you haven't been you MUST!

It was ok, portions are really big, some food was cold and the wait was quite long. My chicken was pink so I couldn't eat it. It's been better on previous occasions.

WORST customer service I've ever had to experience. Amazing food but the customer service was disgusting. Food went missing. Had to wait eternity for my good and drink order. Waitresses had bad attitude and almost dropped plates and cutlery on my head. Tables were uneven and wobbly. A terrible place to sit and enjoy a meal.

The staff were friendly and the food was amazing. The only criticism is that the additional side of coleslaw was half the size of the one that came with the dish and we asked for the dessert menu but no one came back for our order so after 20 minutes we paid the bill and left. Decor could be improved so it feels more like a restaurant

One of the tastiest meals I've ever had. The only thing I can really criticise is the portion sizes (on the big side) but The Dutchie let us take our leftovers home so can't really fault them. Will definitely be going back and recommending. 10 out of 10.

Its down steep steps and has low cellings more enjoyable when it isnt so busy. The cocktails are nice. Would visit again when its less busy.

The staff were helpful, the good was lovely. It was a great evening and especially as it was got my daughter's 21st birthday. Would definitely go again AND recommend to others

Heard good reviews so went but it was so noisy and the service wasn't good. I kept having to ask for things and getting up to do this. No attention from serving staff.a restaurant that took orders for deserts and the kitchen says NO DESERTS 😲. No signs or communication about this to customers. I was served the wrong food so by the time my meal came out the others had finished theirs. The food itself tasted good. The menu has enough on it.

Food is really great but service is very slow, was quite dissapointed having to wait over 25minutes to get served food . when the food came not all was completed i then had to wait another 20 minutes to get additional rice added to my meal.

Food was great but the service was really bad. Took 20 before someone came to our table to even take a drink order, our starter came out before the drinks and when it did come it was the wrong drinks we then had to 're ask for our drinks. It took 45 before our mains cane out. 2 people seem to be saving one table. The food was great but the service was terrible

Absolutely delicious. I had the oxtail with rice and peas. I also had mac n cheese and slaw on the side. The rice and peas was full of flavour (like mine) and the oxtail was so sweet If my teeth were strong enough I would have nyam the bone too lol. The slaw was proper slaw reminds me of how they do it in Jamaica not full of mayo or salad cream it was lovely. Overall we had an amazing night and will definitely come back. The staff were amazing and the music was fantastic. The only downfall is the table was two small for the amount of people in our party so I was a little uncomfortable. Its ashame the venue wasn't bigger. Hands down the BEST Caribbean restaurant I have ever been too.

Food was lovely portions just right and I would definitely return. However on both occasions the waiters let me down. They took long to get drinks and did not come back to ask if we needed anymore. The food took long to come out so sat waiting for 25 minutes with no food or drinks. We ordered sides to go with our meal which came our after we had eaten the main meal, pointless. If they sort the advice out I would increase my rating.

A good experience, shown to our booth at the time we booked, excellent food with generous portion sizes; there was a great cocktail menu, lots of variety. Service a little slow. would recommend and visit again.

The greeting and the service from the team of waiters and waitresses was excellent! We enjoyed the food enormously; we ordered lobster , which tasted wonderful and when we needed help with getting the best out of our order the staff put on their gloves, pulled up their sleeves and gave us the help we needed and this was done with lots of laughter! One of the owners spent some time talking with us at our table and my friend whose birthday it was ,was brought a free birthday rum punch! Lovely ambience, we had a great time! Loved it!

It was my sister 50th birthday we went to dinner the food was great as usually service ok needs improving, cocktails was ok. We had a great evening

Absolutely delicious food, well presented and hot! huge varietybon food menu and cocktails menu. with 2 for 1 deal you can't really lose. Definately has caribbean service - don't be in a rush 😁

Food was great came quickly once we were served which did take a while (but with kids so less patience). Will definitely go again soon.

The staff are polite and friendly but the service was so slow we waited 40 minutes for a table then nobody bought us a menu I eventually had to ask for some the food was lovely

Really tasty food. Thoroughly recommend the goat curry served with roti, slaw and plantain. And who can argue with 2 for 1 cocktails? Friendly staff, funky vibe.

Apart from the seats being plastic and not that comfortable and maybe should be taller to suit the tables. The environment was lovely and more importantly the food was absolutely on point.. excellent
