The Tommyfield — Restaurant in London

Eaten in here a few times and never been disappointed by food or service. However, this night was different.... Called up an hour before on a Friday night and was able to secure a table. On arrival we went to the till to enquire about our table and were seated in the raised area infront of the kitchen. Once seated a waitress with brown hair and no smile passed us some menus. However she oddly passed them over the ledge instead of walking around to put them on the table. That night they had a gin promotion on and we were brought samples. Along with the samples were a discount card off our next purchase off said gin. What great marketing I thought plus the gin was delicious! So when the waitress came to take our order I asked if I could have one of those gins and she said no and that it wasn’t available. How odd. So I asked for a few more minutes to re think my order. When she came back I asked can I go to the gin bar and get it myself? She sighed and told me to wait there and she’d find out. She came back and said I must go to the bar and order it myself. I did. However the rest of my party were able to order drinks with her. This waitress was unhelpful and we got the impression she did not want to there. She continued to pass the drinks over the ledge because too lazy to walk around. Didn’t get asked if we wanted anymore drinks.

Didn’t get asked if we wanted desserts.

Didn’t get asked if we wanted the bill.

When we decided to get up and go and lay our bill our said waitress barged one of us out of her way so she could do something else whilst another staff member sorted out our bill. I regret paying the service charge due to her.

The food was great and there is a big ish guy with glasses who has great customer service. I think management need to hire some happier people and brief their staff...

🚇 Kennington 🍺 £5.40 Amstel ❤️ A traditional Kennington pub complete with bedrooms and comedy club. . The Tommyfield is located on a busy intersection on Kennington Lane and Kennington Road and is just a five minute walk from Kennington Tube station. . At first glance at ground floor level, this pub looks contemporary in appearance but once you look up you can see how majestic the architecture is. If you look to the very top of the building you can see the pub’s original name, The White Hart. This pub is named after a nineteenth century market which was the home to Britain’s first fish and chip shop. . The decor here is simple but stylish. There are a few raised areas and a good size bar. There are lots of comfy sofas and chairs which make for a comfortable pub experience. . The beer choice is straightforward and full of familiar favourites. I had a pint of Amstel which was reasonably priced but was a bit flat. The lady who served was very nice and gave a warm welcome. The food menu is full of British classics with a good selection of hearty pies. For pub comparison purposes fish and chips costs £15 here, which is average London pub price. . I visited around 4pm on a Saturday afternoon and the pub was quiet. Apart from myself, there was a couple having a chat in one of the window seats and some guests checking in to stay at the six bedroomed hotel upstairs. This Kennington pub also hosts comedy nights by @alwaysbecomedy which showcases the best comedic talent around. Recent performers include Jack Whitehall, Joel Dommett and James Acaster. . There are lots of positives here at this multifaceted pub. The beer and food are reasonably priced and the comfortable surroundings make this pub a nice place to have a pint. . ℹ️ Information correct on...

I decided to try this pub because there was a 50% off food for January. I had high expectations for the pie as it says outside “Famous pies” and there was no disappointment, the pie was very different then any other pies I had before and also very tasty. What surprised me the most it was the big chunks of lean, tender and juicy beef, usually we don’t get this quality in pies, also the flavours were very good and I absolutely enjoyed it.

In the other hand my husband didn’t enjoy his burger, he described it as bland but to be honest I think he could go for a better option as burgers we can get a lot better in burger restaurants. The prices are a bit on the higher side, specially the burgers which was £17 and £18.50. I think the burgers costing more than the pie doesn’t make any sense as the pie is way better than the burgers.

I also enjoyed my panettone French toast, but it would be even better if there was a bit more sweetness as the jam was not very sweet and the chantilly was not sweet at all, I think it would be perfect if it’s served with some maple syrup.

I was quite disappointed as I couldn’t get my non alcoholic mojito, I was informed that it was not possible to make it because there was no fruits, the delivery hasn’t arrived at almost 4pm.

Service could also be better as there were 2 people serving and most of the time it took us long to get someone to notice we were calling, despite the pub being almost empty, however as soon as we ordered our food we didn’t wait for long, so the chef did a great job.

I liked the experience but I didn’t love it, I have mixed feelings and I’m not sure if I’ll...
