EV Bar, Southwark

Friendly, lively and the tasty Turkish menu is a great addition to the Waterloo area. The outdoor space is great in the summer with its potted palms - like being on holiday! Although it's busy weekday evenings, try it at the weekends when it's quieter. Also in the winter months, it tends to be less busy.

The Goldsmith Pub and Dining Room, Borough

We were excited find a 'new' local bar/restaurant but unfortunately, the first visit may just be our last. The food I ordered wasn't gastro-pub standard and the manger was just rude. I ordered a black pudding, bacon and tomato salad. I asked for the rocket to be left out and instead of the rest of the mixed leaves got a massive pile of cos lettuce. It was easy to pick the other ingredients out as there wasn't that much of them so when I left a huge pile of lettuce the manager asked if there was anything wrong. Instead of accepting that what was offered was a bit rubbish and that his customer wasn't happy, he began to blame me for not saying anything beforehand. I was gobsmacked, especially when he walked off without a word of apology. We got �4 knocked off the steep �9 price. For a new business, this isn't the way to treat customers and locals at that, who will always spread the word if it's any good.
