I'm in love with their dessert. They serve generous portions of main (and gosh they are delicious too but I can't resist having their dessert! Chocolate fondant was divine. Eat n mess was very nice too. Good place for a little special night out :

Great quality, great tasting food. Amazing value. We took advantage of the Thursday night deal, which included a carafe of wine. Small, intimate but lively atmosphere. Perhaps a little warm on a pleasant summer evening. As many others have noted, the chocolate fondant is worth saving some room for. A great find and would recommend for a couple's date night or small groups.

Great place for a perfect dinner spot in the south central London i.e. Clapham...a Cody place fill of very nice and natural ambience with a friendly staff. Love the way they brought the complete big billboard for the menu..You have got some fixed option for each day apart from some special dishes.A proper English food which is very rich in taste, colour and offer some out of the league dishes which is what I love about it.They do private bookings as for special occasions and Christmas. One thing to be mentioned that the place is really very quiet for the guests who likes it quite.

This restaurant is perfect for a special lunch. The staff were lovely and attentive, even taking a photo of our group and entertaining our playful baby. We ordered the duck and three curries, all of which were delicious. We also enjoyed a great white wine from their well-curated selection. The interior had a charming vintage feel and the atmosphere outdoors in South London was perfect for a leisurely lunch.

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise! It's a peaceful spot with a great menu. The presentation of the dishes is beautiful and the staff is efficient and friendly. The location is convenient, close to the subway and nightlife spots. It's the perfect place for a pre-dinner before hitting the dance floor!
