24 The Oval

Review: Oval 24, Oval London Oval 24 is an outstanding restaurant that delivers a first-class dining experience, with exceptional attention to detail across service, food, and drinks. Our server Morne was brilliant – warm, attentive, and highly knowledgeable about both the menu and drink pairings. He provided clear explanations of all dishes and ensured our entire meal progressed seamlessly, with thoughtful touches that made the experience feel special. As someone with a carrot allergy, I was impressed by the level of care taken by the head chef, who personally discussed my dietary needs and carefully adapted or replaced dishes to avoid any risk. Every course was prepared safely without compromising on flavor or presentation; a tomato with a spicy sauce alternative was provided in place of the gravy and it was just as delicious and visually appealing as the original would have been. The drinks program is equally impressive. Micky guided us through the cocktail selection and I ordered their margherita, crafted by one of the best mixologists I’ve encountered. The cocktail was perfectly balanced, made with high-quality ingredients including some sourced locally, and presented elegantly with wonderful aromatic notes. The restaurant’s atmosphere is modern and welcoming, with exposed brick walls, stylish furnishings, and soft lighting that creates a comfortable, intimate setting. Even when busy, the space never feels overcrowded or noisy. Overall, Oval 24 stands out for its commitment to quality and care in every aspect of dining. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for excellent food and service, especially those with dietary requirements who want to dine out with complete peace of mind.

We had the most incredible roast dinner at 24 at The Oval. From the moment we arrived, Paulo and his team made us feel so welcome. The service was absolutely unforgettably warm and attentive. The roast itself was on another level - huge portions, outstanding quality, and packed with flavour in every bite. It’s honestly incomparable to anywhere else I’ve had a roast in London. I won’t be going anywhere else for one after this! The beautiful secret garden at the back made the whole experience even more special, with such a peaceful and charming setting. We’re already planning our next visit to try more from their menu. An absolute must-visit for anyone who loves incredible food, amazing service, and a cosy, homely atmosphere.

Came here to have the Sunday roast, this is the second time that we have visited and once again the whole experience was faultless. Portion sizes are fantastic, you will not leave here hungry! All members of the team are great, welcoming and genuine. Paulo the manager is fantastic, taking time to speak to every guest and make sure that their experience is faultless. I will definitely be coming back here again no question. Thankyou to everyone at the restaurant!

Me and my girlfriend came here for our 2 year anniversary and had an incredible evening. It was probably the best meal I've had in London and the hospitality by Andrew and Pablo really made the occasion. Thank you for this, we'll see you again soon!

There were three of us for dinner. We shared some starters and had cote de boeuf and trout for mains - both cooked perfectly and very tasty. The complimentary Yorkshire puddings and gravy were a nice bonus! Service was very friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend.

I don’t like beetroot and they served their roast with a slice of roasted beetroot. That is literally the only thing which I can criticise about this place. (I’m being petty on purpose). As soon as we walked the team greeted us with a smile and a warmth which made us feel comfortable and like they couldn’t wait for us to experience the food they were about to serve. The service through out the meal was some of the best I have ever received. That’s a big statement and I stand by it. When the team care about your experience it’s so so much better. The food. My god the food. Bar the beetroot everything was delicious. I’m a veggie and my main - the mushroom wellington - was like eating poetry. My wife, who had pork belly said it was the benchmark which al other pork belly would be compared against. The service and the food make this an incredible place which we will go back to again and again. Selfishly, part of me hopes it doesn’t become a viral sensation on the Instagram and we can’t get a table. But, it’s truly deserves to me. Food this good should be shared by everyone.

Popped by for a light dinner, absolutely lovely atmosphere, ambient decor, nice crowd. Paulo being an absolute legend is just cherry on top an excellent experience.

We saw a review that said “best Sunday roast in South London” and this is truly that - the flavours are so beautiful, the service is great and honestly 10/10. We were given complimentary bread and mini yorkshires and sauce. Will definitely be back!
