    Awful place and won't be back. My friend booked a table to watch champions League in a beer garden on the hottest day of the year so far. After getting in at 7pm, we were told to ask about our table booking at the bar. We queued nearly an hour at the bar because they had run out of all beer and had to stop orders other than cans. The bar couldn't help at all with our booking so we ended up standing. A bouncer then told us we were blocking people's view and had to go to "room C"... This was a dark club like room with a screen and we had to stand at the back. I didn't book Vauxhall Food and Beer GARDEN to watch the game in a dingey room inside. We then tried to sit outside after the game but they closed immediately and wouldn't even let me finish my drink and also wouldn't let me take it outside. Absolutely not what I was expecting. It was also an absolutely grim place and the toilets were disgusting. Managers really need to pull their finger out and organise this place.

    Do not visit here for any "big event". Came for Champions League final - free tickets were able to book which made it appealing. Unfortunately there was no cap on number of tickets available, so the place was absolutely rammed. People could book tickets one hour before the game and come in. Clearly, the event organizers just wanted to maximise people rather than comfort or quality. Only two screens which means some seats have a terrible view. It could be a nice venue on a normal quiet weekend, but you're better off booking a pub table with a deposit for a big sports event than coming here. Security was weird - the ID system flagged the guy in front of me as having drug charges before, but he was still waved in after a little pat down - why even bother with having an ID check system in that case? Only plus side was decent priced pizza here, under a tenner.

    Dissapointing! Overcharging hipsters for watery beer in plastic cups. £6.50 for a pint of Camden Hells THIS far away from central!!? Shoddy park benches and super expensive "street food" can be had while huge monitors pump out garish highlight reels of self promotion. This 'Beer garden' is more like an astroturfed carpark with plywood frontage. The bathrooms are impossible to find and you're sorry you did when you finally do. Flat iron square this Ain't.

    The vibes are immaculate, the food we got was great, although the service could use some improvement. Overall, this is a cool place to grab a drink and a bite with a group of friends - there are large tables and smaller tables both. The food can get a bit pricey but tastes pretty good, and the area is very well connected.

    Fun place! Covid compliant but very loud! Good food options and drink packages are a nice feature. Great for groups.

    Never again! Horrible organisation, rude security. We (a group of 6) were very excited to attend the Dias de los Muertos today. We booked the "free entry before 3pm" tickets. We arrived just before 3pm only to be told that there's another event happening at the venue and we have to come back at 4pm. Fine, we grabbed some drinks and came back at 4pm promptly. Many people were already queuing. At 4.15pm the venue was still closed. We saw the security searching people's bags, confiscating some bananas (!) and emptying someone's plastic water bottle (and then giving it back to them - to do what?). The security was rude and unhelpful the whole time. At 4:35pm they still haven't let anyone in ("shortly!"). We decided to leave and have a nice dinner somewhere else. Huge disappointment.

    We went for the well advertised Venezuelan festival (Sunday 03/07/22) but after a 45mins wait the door wasn’t even open, no sign on the door and no staff telling us what was going on. Such a waste of time and unprofessional behaviour, I even wasted my tube money! Won’t give this place another go and I hope you won’t waste your time either.

    The venue doesn't particularly have anything special here, Just 3 food stands, 1 bar area, a few game machines on the side and a comedy show at the back. They have a Monday-Friday drink deal for £3.50 and a meal deal for £7.99. Definitely considered a good deal overall. It's Free entry.

    The venue advertised an event to screen an AFCON match live with free tickets, so I planned to go with friends. We arrived last night to find that the food & beer garden was closed. We waited, thinking perhaps there was a delay, but the venue never opened and there was nobody there to give us any information. We called and messaged the venue and got no response. If you're going to cancel an event you've advertised, the least you can do is post on social media to let people know. The tickets were free so no money was lost, but it was a massive waste of time to go all the way over there for nothing.

    Absolutely pathetic! Zero customer service. Went to watch the cricket world cup final which was terribly organized cramping way more people than the venue could accommodate and ripping off customers charging £40-50 for entry. Most importantly the DJ who played that day should not be allowed anywhere near a console again. Absolutely disrespectful of the audience playing the most stupid music at the most inappropriate times.

    Mediocre! Cocktails weren't shaken or stirred just given in a plastic cup. Somewhat pricey especially for what you get. Plenty of seating however only 3 tables have a heater above.

    Joined the Halloween screening of Hocus Pocus and had a blast! The Sanderson sisters were the highlight of this evening!! Great atmosphere, it was warm enough, great food options (vegan options included!), and even got free drinks, shots and candy! 😍 wonderful experience and will certainly be back next year, sisters!

    Went at 18.50 and paid £13 for 2 camden hells. 15 minutes later £14.40 for the same round! Went to speak to a member of the staff and they were talking about happy hour before 19.00, but that wasn't the case! Basically £7.2 for a pint on a plastic cup and different prices depending on who serves you

    A cozy street food place which you enter under a bridge. There's a good variety of street food for an ok price. There is a common seating area and multiple food stalls + vending machines

    Nice little place tucked away nice vibes friendly people . Only thing is that jug of cocktails are bit pricey for no taste of the alcohol definitely more juice than rum tbh.

    Awful - do not go!! The staff are rude, the venue is dirty and smells like sewage, especially by the bar area. The drinks are watered down and overpriced and entire experience is just horrendous. It ruined my day and I should have read the other reviewers before paying money for tickets. A total waste of time and money. This place needs to be shut down

  • 4/5 sofia m. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is kinda hidden if you don't know where you are going,cause it's under the bridge but it's really nice once you find it, nice variety of food, and easy to order from the app from everywhere and then they bring you the food. The reason for the 4 stars is when we went we were told the table is booked for 17:30,which was fine with us we had 50 minutes to order and eat. But coming to us at 17:15 and telling us we need to leave NOW when we were clearly still eating and not finished with the food was not nice. We explained the situation and we were left to finish,but it's not nice attitude.

    Excellent venue! I was in the beer garden which was so lovely and well set up. We watched the football and had many big screens to view the game. There isn’t really any vegan food, so herbivores are advised to eat before, but The drinks and packages are great prices for London! Would definitely go back with a group of friends :)

    A great place for outdoor drinks and dining. They have a few different cuisine options which we're all good. I went for the Turkish option (meat and chips) and friends had the burgers. All was ordered through an app and served right to the table. Not sure if this is everyday practice as we went during the football. Prices were reasonable as well. The venue is close to the train station so very easy to get too.

    Amazing bingo and wonderful setting. Live the decorations and the atmosphere. Friendly and relaxed vibe and very inclusive. The service crew spot on, cleaning the tables often and delivering orders. Only thing to consider is to have a bigger screen!

    A lovely space although it rained so a bit more shelter would have helped. Atmosphere was great 👍🏾 good vibes all round. Music was on point alongside steel Pans live and carnival costumed dancers. This was part of the reggae brunch. Although the rum punch at the start was more juice and less punch (only downside) also been here for some comedy shows which was also a great evening out.

    I attended an event at Vauxhall food & Beer garden; a venue that can brag with perhaps the most inefficient bar. The lack of efficiency at attending to customers at the bar was only overshadowed by the inability to clean glasses. My favourite was when they looked at a glass, mentioned to their colleague that it was very dirty, then proceeded to pour a beer into it. The french taco was really nice though; I recommend that one!

  • 1/5 Joseph T. 1 month ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    Appalling, the web site accepts orders even when the kitchen is closed! They took my money just like that, after half an hour I had to ask and they candidly said no food coming. Avoid at all costs

  • 4/5 Dana L. 2 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    Overall a great experience and good value for money. Concept works well. Tables a bit close together, bit more lighting on the tables would be cool. No-one checked our tickets which made me think because of where it was i.e., in a shared space that anyone could have walked in.

  • 1/5 cocotalks 6 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Beware none of the prices of the drinks are real. The bar staff will tell you it’s because the displayed price is happy hour even though it doesn’t say that anywhere. I’m not sure how two mixers can be £30 in somewhere like this - fair enough somewhere in a much nicer establishment but not some random place in vauxall? The food is not nice either. It’s very obvious this place is running out of money because of the market place that opened up next door so is just trying to get their money from anywhere such as lying about all the prices.

    i came to visit from the midlands . service was great just had to put special emphasis on Alfie who really made my night. kind and made sure my drinks were up to scratch. recommend to anyone looking for a night out

    Usually I don't like street food but I tried the Indian one and I really enjoyed it

  • 2/5 Michael B. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here to watch the World Cup quarter-final. Pure profiteering from the very start. Everyone was rammed together on what looked like pasting tables. Each table was inches apart. A large screen was advertised but it wasn't that big for a venue seating that many people for the football. If you were near the back you barely saw the game. £45 per person...... The sound was temperamental as well throughout - do they not do a test beforehand?! Service generally unhelpful, toilets poor.

  • 4/5 Marios C. 1 year ago on Google
    This has been replaced by the Vauxhall Market which is much more upmarket. However, this is much more spacious and therefore less crowded. They have good meal and drink deals, so well worth a visit.

  • 4/5 S H. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn't eat as we were there for the comedy club. Looks like it would be a great place on a summer's evening or sunny lunchtime. Some food choices, but I'd go across the road to Vauxhall Market Place, then come back later for drinks and music.

  • 1/5 Iz Macleod x. 1 year ago on Google
    So me and some friends booked a table for 12:00-2:00pm and arrived on time , we managed to find the entrance or as to what we though the entrance was and waited there thinking they were just late to opening. A person walking past told us it opens at 12:30, we waitied until 12;45 with no sign of any staff and around 20 other people waiting outside. We left after 45 minutes of waiting , very disappointed and waste of time

    I love this hidden gem, gets better every year! The new terrace is a game changer! 👌🏻

  • 1/5 Dina V. 4 months ago on Google
    Sold us tickets to an event that didn't exist, and refuse to reimburse us. False advertising - we didn't receive the drinks allocated to us on the tickets either. My friend bought two tables to watch a RWC game in October and they completely forgot they had sold us tickets to this event. The venue was empty and there was no prep for the RwC game - in fact there was another event on in the downstairs area which meant we had to sit upstairs and watch from a distance. The tickets we paid for included several jugs of beer/cider which we never received. They refuse to refund us now so our money has just been stolen from us.

  • 5/5 Helen B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience and service, lovely people, and pizza food stall was really good! We went in the early afternoon slot so it wasn't busy at all which made it even better since we didn't need to queue up for anything.

  • 2/5 alana g. 2 years ago on Google
    Service took so long. I was waiting in a queue for the bar (3rd from the front) where they suggested that i use the app as it would be faster. So i tried the app...it took 30 minutes from ordering via the app to get the drinks. We saw so many others get served at the bar in this time. The toilets were impossible to find (they kept relabelling them from male/female) also the entrance is labelled Nordic which was confusing and led to us not being able to initially find the venue.

  • 5/5 Amber-Jane M. 2 years ago on Google
    Vauxhall comedy club was awesome! Really funny comics, the venue is great (Bars, multiple food places, smoking area) and would 100% recommend going to the show. Plus I got to pet a cute dog there so a win all around.

  • 1/5 Kieran C. 2 years ago on Google
    Genuinely the worst bottomless brunch in London. Don’t waste your money. £60 for cans of Budweiser and super cheap cocktail jugs… Do yourself a favour and book somewhere else

  • 1/5 Kate G. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Bought two tables of eight to watch a Rugby World Cup game in October - the venue was empty yet somehow not prepared and did not deliver the three drinks pp that was part of the ticket price after we followed up. The bar manager forgot they had sold tickets to this event. We then bought our own drinks at the bar expecting that we would be refunded for the service that was not delivered on and after emailing back and forth for a month the venue still refuses to refund us and have quite literally stolen our money. They have offered to have us back but the customer service has been so poor I have no interest in trying to drag 15 other people back for an event we don't even want to go to. DO NOT RECOMMEND - also the toilets are beyond disgusting
