The Old Nuns Head - Southwark

There are several reasons why this restaurant is great. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, and the food is outstanding. You don't need to read a long review, just take my word for it and give it a try.

It's my local so a touch biased but worth all the praise.

Arrived at a busy pub to be told they had no record of our reservation. Admittedly, we had made the booking quite late in the day (booking was for 8:45pm and we had made it 3 hours prior), but they shouldn 't accept bookings if they won 't honour them. We were told by a staff member that they only look at the computer once earlier in the day, and don 't check after that. They offered a brief muted apology and then get back to serving other customers. The pub has a good reputation for food and it certainly seemed lively, it 's just a shame we couldn 't try it. I don 't think they should take bookings after a certain time if they can 't honour them. OpenTable forces me to give a full rating across categories, but please ignore my rating for Food Value as we didn 't sample. Ambience was based on our brief time inside, and as I said it seemed like a good lively venue, if a bit loud, but it was a Saturday night!

Fun, and filling, evening sampling delicious Greek-food pop-up I Should Be Souvlaki. It seems there's always something going on at the Old Nun's Head – whether it's a street-food residency or a comedy night. Or both. Good range of indie beers too, including several local ales.

The souvlaki pop-up at I Should Be restaurant was fantastic! The food was delicious. It looks like it will be open until the end of May 2015, so I recommend that everyone go and try it, especially on Thursdays when they also host a pub quiz.
