Experiences at Babette in Nunhead.

It looks like the old Page II Pub has finally found a winner that will stick around. The menu is creative and exquisite yet simple. The service is warm and friendly.


A few issues exist however worth discussing. Three of us were there last evening and despite being a restaurant, there are people who seem only to come there to drink. This is not a problem except there is no where for them to hang out so the migrate between restaurant tables which is annoying and has certain perils like when a person pushed into our table and toppled our drinks.


You basically have two choices of sharing plates (Meat or veggie) and then you order sides. The combination of items on the sharing plates change daily resulting in the waiting staff not actually knowing what is on your plate. Every time we asked, we got different answers and this was a problem as some of our party could not eat certain things. Once they figured this out, they changed the chalkboard to reflect reality.


Babette is sweet and caring and listened to our issues when we spoke up and the waiting staff brought us some new replacements so problem was solved. I really lke this place but the issues are real. Anyone else?

We went there for lunch recently. I was very excited as I had heard good things and from the descriptions I had read I was getting my hopes high for something special. Unfortunately we left disappointed as we felt that the portions for Sunday roast were rather underwhelming and we basically departed hungry. In my opinion if you are to skimp on portions then the food has to be outstanding, which it sadly (again in our opinion) was not. Perhaps Sunday roasts are not their speciality but it was disappointing and we now hope, if we return, to be pleasantly surprised in the future.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
