Bermondsey Bar & Kitchen

Great spot in Bermondsey. The food is fresh, the drinks are solid, and the vibe is just right relaxed but lively. The outdoor space is perfect for sunny afternoons, and the staff are always welcoming. One of those places you end up staying longer than you planned.

Lovely bar and kitchen. We popped in with some friends for something to eat and the atmosphere was great! Music, great decor and the waiters/waitresses took us straight to a table and were very welcoming! Service was quick and the food was so good! Lovely friendly atmosphere, very clean and the vibe was great! Not far from the train station and well priced too. Would highly recommend popping in! A definite 10/10 from all of us!

We visited Bermondsey Bar and Kitchen last night and was left extremely disappointed by the overall experience. The service was chaotic. Despite having two bars, only one was open on a busy Friday night, with only a handful of staff serving everyone. The queue stretched out the door for most of the evening. Ordering through the app was even worse... our drinks took over 30 minutes to arrive, if they showed up at all. Like other reviewers have stated, the staff themselves were friendly and clearly doing their best, but they were completely overwhelmed. The real issue here is poor staffing levels and even poorer management. The icing on the cake was the number of mice all over the place!!! It was both unsettling and unhygienic, especially for a venue serving food and drinks! Bermondsey Bar and Kitchen has the potential to be a great spot in Bermondsey with its spacious layout and relaxed vibe, but the lack of basic cleanliness and pest control is a major red flag. With so many other great options nearby, I won't be returning any time soon!

This place is cute only a short walk from London Bridge station which was even better. They had lots of room so you can get a table hopefully easy unless there is a match that is on. Staff are friendly - drinks and food is quick. Would say it’s a good place to kick start the day drink or before a night out. I would say the only thing they need to do is add more food options to the menu. But all in all great place.

I cannot overstate how disgusting my experience at Bermondsey Bar and Kitchen was. From the moment we walked in, the place felt unhygienic and badly run. Within minutes we saw mice scurrying across the floor, which instantly made us question how the kitchen was allowed to operate. To make matters worse, our drinks arrived with flies floating in them, and the taste was dreadful; warm, flat, and watered down with half-melted ice. It honestly felt like they were serving tap water with food colouring. The food was no better. What should have been simple pub dishes turned up stone cold, greasy, and flavourless. It looked like it had been sitting around for hours before being thrown onto plates. We couldn’t finish it; not because we were full, but because it was so revolting. The thought of mice running around the same building while food was being served was enough to kill any appetite. The atmosphere was chaotic. There were easily over 300 people crammed into the venue, but only three exhausted staff trying to manage the bar, the tables, and the food orders. Service was slow and sloppy, but I refuse to blame the staff. They looked run into the ground, unable to even raise a smile, and I genuinely felt sorry for them. The real problem is whoever manages this place. It is clear there are serious issues from the very top down — poor hygiene, zero staffing, and no care for customers or employees. By the time we left, I felt dirty, cheated out of money, and angry that such a place is even open to the public. Bermondsey Bar and Kitchen is not just disappointing — it is disgusting. It is a health hazard, a management disaster, and a stain on London’s hospitality scene. Save yourself the misery and do not come here under any circumstances.

The toilets! I never ever want to think about those toilets again. They need a serious overhaul and some care and attention. The staff we spoke to were nice. Some of the drinks were a bit pricy. I got an OJ that was tiny, filled mostly with ice (on a cold night), and it cost £3.50.

Recommended by a friend as she has been there before. However this time, the food was AWFUL to say the least (and we are foodies so its hard to disappoint us) to describe the service and food are as follows: Was not offered water compared to other guests (guest before and after us was offered water... which was strange) Steak was tough (medium rare) steak knife couldn't even cut through it. It was swimming in gravy Drinks were bland The veg that came with the Sunday roast were all in 1 bowl that's enough to feed 1 person when we ordered Sunday roast EACH WE HAD TO TELL THEM TWICE TO KEEP VEG SEPERATED FOR MEDICAL REASONS. Still didn't listen (shown in the picture) The cauliflower was scrapings from the bottom of the pot and was given to us TWICE All that me and another friend had was chips and a drink. I told the host I want to just pay for the chips and drink. Restaurant policy is if you do not like your food you take it off the bill..... She said no as she's added a discount to the overall bill. I literally paid for a meal I didn't eat (shown in the picture as we left... and we LOVE steak). Instead of trying to fix the situation, they just hovered around us to hear our complaints amongst each other and just wanted to take our money. Was catastrophically disappointed and have to say with a passion that this place is worse than Turtle Bay and we won't be coming back. Either way, they made that very clear by the way they've handled the situation. Thoroughly disappointed. Wow

We have been there for my friend’s bday. Easy to access from london bridge station. Very vibrant environment. We were in the restaurant area. But there is a backyard which is also cozy and spacious and more like a pub environment. Prices are average London prices. Pizza was average as well.
