Social

Dropped by Social at Copeland Park for a weekday lunch break and it’s a solid little spot. The area itself has a cool, artsy vibe and feels very up-and-coming. The space is a mix between a cafe and a pub, with an outdoor terrace that’s great when the weather’s nice. It’s definitely laptop friendly, though just a heads up there’s no wifi. That might be a dealbreaker for some, but it worked fine for me since I didn’t need to be connected. I ordered an Iced Black for £3.50 and it was a good coffee, especially at that price in London. Service-wise, it wasn’t the warmest. Let’s just say the team gives off that fashionably cool, slightly aloof energy. Not unfriendly, just not going out of their way either. It was a really warm day when I went and they hadn’t done much about the heat besides opening the windows. It did get a little uncomfortable inside, but to be fair, London rarely gets that hot anyway. Overall, it’s a decent spot to get some work done or take a break, especially if you’re into the creative, industrial-chic kind of vibe.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed every dish we ordered at Japanese Street Food in Copeland Social. Everything was really good, but it's worth noting that most items are deep-fried. There are a few non-fried options, but it would be great to see some healthier choices added to the menu. That said, the taste of everything we tried was excellent, and we would definitely return.

Great service. Nice food. Casual and welcoming vibe. Came in on the weekend with my two kids to see the exhibition next door. Super friendly staff - particularly the manager and the younger guy with a great moustache. Made my kids a special juice. Clean loos an added bonus. Sat in the sun and enjoyed our drinks.

Loved it. Nice food and vibe - if the weather permits sit outside as the inside acoustics (plus bathroom hand drier noise- honestly !) are a bit jarring.

We have been coming here for a year now, we wanted to leave a great review, we love the staff and they’re always so kind and considerate with amazing service all the time, would recommend for anyone making a stop here. The food is always an 11/10 we miss the miso butter potatoes :)

Rude, arrogant, patronising staff. I bought a (overpriced) lager to sit down with my 4 mates who all bought food from their kitchen, as well as drinks. I had chips from another vendor - which, fair enough, I didn't realise I couldn't eat them in their outdoor area (I thought it was a communal space, my mistake). But the way I was spoken to by staff was incredibly rude and patronising. They didn't bear in mind that I'd already put money behind the bar by buying a drink or that I was with 4 other people who had spent, collectively, 100 quid in the gaff. Bang out. Won't be going back - food was average anyway. Thanks for the well expensive lager and attitude.

If a bar could be described as timeless, it would be the Social, every time you visit (and I’ve been a few times) you know exactly what to expect, a comfortable, very chilled out, friendly place. Staff are always brilliant and first class at service. Drink selection is always very good and punters are a nice crowd too. It’s easy to visit on your own or with a group, there’s a nice outdoor space and a cool little gallery space next-door. I’ve still not eaten here yet, but hope to soon, food looks good.

If you want an overpriced burger and unwelcome staff this is the place to go! This burger with less than handful of chips costs £15.95! It is just bonkers and sad. The way to go!
