A Night to Remember at Amazing Grace, London Bridge
Tucked away near the heart of London Bridge, Amazing Grace is unlike any restaurant or bar we’ve visited before. Housed in a breathtaking Grade II-listed 19th-century church, the venue effortlessly blends historic charm with vibrant modern energy. Think stained glass windows and original stone architecture meeting thumping disco beats and soulful live performances, it’s a unique sensory experience that grabs your attention the moment you step through the doors.
We visited on a Friday night, when the vibe was electric. The night’s soundtrack was built around disco, funk, soul, old-school hip-hop, and even some Garage classics, which were performed live with impressive vocals that got everyone moving. As we soaked in the lively atmosphere, we couldn’t help but admire how perfectly the lighting and acoustics complemented the stunning church setting; it's truly a party in a place you’d least expect.
The food was as memorable as the music. We kicked things off with the Amazing Grace Sharer, a generous and flavour-packed platter featuring crispy Japanese Fried Chicken, sticky-sweet Korean Chicken Wings, smoky Padron Peppers, juicy Corn Ribs, and moreish Korean Potato Bites. Each bite offered something bold, spicy, or savoury, a masterclass in Asian-inspired comfort food.
We followed this with a couple of Fried Chicken Baos, which were soft, fluffy, and bursting with flavour thanks to the tangy pickles, creamy Gochujang mayo, sesame, and spring onions. But the standout dish for us was the Chicken Burger. A free-range chicken coated in crunchy panko and sesame, layered with Kewpie mayo, fresh lettuce, and pickles. It’s rich, crispy, juicy, and a definite must-try. On the side, I ordered the Amazing Rice, which lived up to its name: a fragrant mix of spring onion and ginger oil, tare sauce, crispy onion, and sesame. It’s the kind of side you could happily eat on its own.
For dessert, we shared the Salted Caramel Brownie, served warm and delicately dusted with icing sugar. It was rich, gooey, and exactly the indulgent finale you want after a night of dancing and feasting. We also had a trio of Japanese Mochi Ice Cream—Mango, Chocolate, and Vanilla—which added a refreshing, chewy, and cool contrast to the brownie.
All chicken served here is halal, which made our meal worry-free and even more enjoyable. The mocktails were just as thoughtfully crafted as everything else. My wife had the Espresso Martini (alcohol-free), made with Amazing Grace’s house coffee mix and vanilla syrup; she called it one of the best she’s ever had. I loved my Grenadine Bramble, a bright, citrusy blend of Lyre’s Original, lime juice, sugar, and grenadine . It was refreshing, not overly sweet, and paired well with the food.
A special mention goes to Dio, who looked after us throughout the evening. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm, he made us feel right at home, even in a venue buzzing with energy.
By the end of the night, we’d not only eaten incredibly well, but we’d danced, laughed, and soaked up one of the most unique dining experiences in London. If you’re looking for a place that hits all the right notes, food, vibes, and service , Amazing Grace London Bridge is the one. We can’t...
Read moreBeing a classic millennial in my 20's, I have been to far too many bottomless brunches but this was genuinely the worst bottomless brunch I have ever been to. They advertised a bottomless brunch for £25pp on top of food which is very averagely priced so we booked a table for 5 people.
Once seated, we advised that we would like to go bottomless proceeding in them taking payment from us individually upfront which was unusual but we went with it, however, they added a 12.5% compulsory tip onto each payment making our payment £28+pp.
Really unusual to pay a service charge before receiving service but it makes sense now having been served by the most unenthusiastic, unknowledgeable team possible.
It took 20 minutes for our first drink to be poured, with the waiter attempting to take payment from us again before finally believing us that we had already paid for our rounds to start. Once we drank our first drink, no one seemed to make eye contact with us to top it up. When we asked one of the waiters, he told us we have to wait and pay, making this the third time someone tried to make us pay for a service we already paid for.
We ordered our food via the app, again, having to pay 12.5% compulsory service charge individually, with a very limited choice. One of the group was vegan, the other vegetarian who doesn't like cheese which was very tricky to work with as their main menu was a burger menu with three of the options being halloumi, the other three meat.
This meant they could only order steamed dumpling, a bowl of cucumber and crispy mushrooms, not very substantial considering the amount of alcohol a bottomless includes.
We all ordered our food within 5 minutes of each other, two of us paying together however the first dish came out within 20 minutes (1 portion of dumplings) with the next set of dishes (1 portion of dumplings and cucumber) arriving another 20 minutes after that. Half an hour passed and the rest of the food didn't arrive so we chased with who we assumed was the manager (the only person with decent customer service who we dealt with). He advised that the dishes come out at different times because it is meant to be served liked tapas which seemed like an excuse as we all ordered under separate orders as not as a table due to some of the party being non-meat eaters and not being able to share.
Eventually the rest of the food came out, except for one dish which they refunded us for. One of us ordered a chicken burger which came in the hardest and driest bun I have ever seen- you could knock the bottom and it didn't move. The crispy mushrooms, which were the main substance for one of the party, were horrible. Dusty, dry and unflavoured. When we asked a waiter for cutlery as there were none on the table, he SIGHED and stamped off.
We obviously told the manager our disappointment who extended our bottomless but to be honest, the damage was done by the poor customer service and the lack of care.
Perhaps we just went on a bad day as the reviews below seem very positive but I wanted to share my experience as I personally wouldn’t go...
Read moreIt is a shame that this review is being written, but this is purely because of the absolutely shocking manager known as Alana which reallt did spoil what was up to that point a very good hen do day. I have never come across a manager with the most appaling attitude and rudeness as her. I would urge her manager or the owner of this bar to seriously review her capabilities as a manager as the display she demonstrated tonight is anything but a manager and clearly inexperienced. I would urge her to be replaced immediately. Due to her behaviour, alone I will not be stepping foot back in this establishment and would urge others to do the same. Again a shame considering the rest of the staff were pretty reasonable.
I was a part of Hen party who booked a table for 15 a couple of weeks ago. Booking confirmations obtained. When we turned up at our booked time to find that no reserved table had been prepared but could see other large groups in the main floor area which included another large Hen Group. Therefore, clearly they bave the capacity to hold and take large group bookings. The lady who was initially on the door was doing the best she could to accomodate us pulling tables where she could and chairs and even owning fault for their error. However, ultimately a group of 15 women were crammed into a small L shape area. The lady then came back with us with a gold coin and said we would get one free drink when we complained about this we finally got the manager Alana to speak to us.
From the get go she was sarcastic, rude, didn't want to take responsibility for the error on their end, when one of the bridesmaids asked how would she feel if this happened to her on her hen do she then had the audacity to comment "well this wouldn't happen to me". Excise me, but who on earth does she think she is commenting like that and then finding it funny. Alana then eventually agreed to giving us 4 bottles of prosecco as compensation. A little whole late I orderered a diet coke and some of the other hens ordered some drinks, Alana had some of them and turned to me is this yours I politely turned around and said no I have mine already she said well you're drinking coke and I said yes but I haven't ordered any more so said why doesn't she put it down on the table and we can sort it out she went "ok" with the most attitude I think she could have thrown on it. Appaling behaviour. I've worked in hospitality and even if you hate your job you never take it out on...
