Peckham Cellars — Restaurant in London

We had a booking with friends here on Saturday evening; however our experience was was totally shattered in whole due to our overbearing server. She was not only super pretentious and domineering; but also in her own words patronising. Constantly pushing us for our order. We were a group of friends who hadn't caught up in forever; but were hounded for our order every two minutes despite asking for a little more time to say our hello's and to exchange belated birthday gifts, oh and of course review the menu. Flippant comments were made such as "oh are you doing arts and crafts" while unwrapping gifts and that we would need to pack away our crafts to make space as we would be ordering "a lot of food". Literally no words. We were constantly reminded when our table would be required for the next booking and upon reviewing the bill we were told "look, I don't mean to sound patronising; but you should just all split the bill equally as it kind of works out give or take £5-6. The whole experience was not only pained; but incredibly unprofessional and self indulgent, to which other diners were also in awe of the comments and general demeanour of our server laughing in response, for us it was everything you don't want to encounter when going...

I love Peckham Cellars, the food is delicious and the wine is amazing. It's a real treat to visit. I am leaving a review though becuase I was disappointed on my last visit by feeling pressured to leave a 20% tip at the end of the meal.

There is nothing worse than US tipping culture, please don't bring it here! If the food and drink is not priced appropriately to pay staff properly then increase the prices and be upfront and honest about it with the customer. If staff are paid properly on the otherhand, then there shouldn't be any pressure on the customer to leave a large tip. Despite having a great dining experience I'm not sure I'll be back as I feel as though I'm going to be pressured to pay an extra 20% on top of an already...

This is my new favourite place. A beautiful restaurant and bar that is perfect for all occasions. I have enjoyed going in on my own with a book and enjoying a glass of wine and delicious nibbles, and have also had the best night with a group of friends as we enjoyed the most incredible bottle champagne I've ever had. Their knowledge about wine is extensive and after having long chats about wine I have bought a couple of bottles to take home and enjoy. This is genuinely the friendliest bar I've been too and the food is delicious! I'm gluten free vegan and they didn't bat an eyelid. Very happy to accommodate my dietary needs, AND it was delicious! Oh and the cocktails are great too. Cannot fault Peckham Cellars and am recommending it to...
