The Paxton in Lambeth

We went for Mother's Day and waited over 2h for the food and over 40 min for the drinks. The burgers were awfully served, some with croquettes, others without, my sister ordered steak and a salad, they brought the salad but not the steak. At one point family asked for water and I had to stand up to get water myself after asking 3 members of staff. After many issues, I went to speak to the manager which told me he would go and see us but never bothered. The whole experience was really bad!!!! Awful!!!!

Amazing service. Great 2 4 1 cocktails and a absolutely lovely roast dinner. My favourite place for a chilled session. Great for children too ! Management is great also

Pros: The Paxton offers a warm and stylish welcome to a mixed crowd from all walks of life. Tasty Sunday roast with lots of choice. Good kids menu with proper food. Huge Yorkshire puddings. Reasonably priced as posh pub lunches go, a treat for all the family. Welcoming environment, kid and dog friendly. Large garden with covered area and heaters, although as it was 12c and drizzly we sat inside. Very well situated for parks/walks. Tables are generously spaced - it's a large building, unlike some of the restaurants on the nearby Triangle where they've tried to fit in to too small a space. Nice decor and overall high standards.. more comfortable and less flashy than nearby Dulwich Wood House.Cons: Slowish service, I think they were just a bit understaffed for a much busier than usual day (mother's day) and may have had team members down with covid so can't be too harsh on that. Our waitress was hard working and doing her best, but staff seemed a bit overloaded.Some small details.. applesauce served in throwaway plastic pots gave it a sense of "got it out of a jar". At £16/head for mains, fresh made doesn't seem unreasonable but they're hardly the only place doing that. Portions fair sized but again could be bigger - although if you went for 3 courses you'd definitely be leaving v full. Acoustics - hard, reflective surfaces create an environment that's on the loud side, but that's an issue almost everywhere, ask Jay Rayner.

Great food, kids friendly and really nice service. And ... 50% off on food 😯👏🏽🤗 everyday until 8pm!!!

Delicious food, attentive staff and a pleasure to visit on a Sunday afternoon. Booking ahead advised for weekends. The desserts were the best I've had in a long while!

Best gastro pub I have eaten in for a while. I was not going to write this review after the first time I ate there as I wanted to keep this gem to myself. But having been utterly treated to another amazing Sunday Roast I thought I should share the love- they deserve to be complimented. The chefs there are really showing off...and they can!! I have worked in the restaurant business myself for many years and know how hard it is to pull off top class food- given the vagaries of the weather and customer demand. But this place smashes it. I ate there as a table of ten- with another table for the kids. I had food envy for many of the dishes but to name a few the Tuna Tacos are beautifully balanced- the pork belly blends fat and meat perfectly- and each of the vegetables were perfectly done...and the Hep Cat lager and Organic House wine are both great. Kids had a big selection too from Pizza to mini roasts. The staff were very happy and welcoming and seemed to like working there- we felt very looked after and treated. So at risk of not getting a table next time...I will share their love and I highly recommend this place. I Loved it and woke up on Monday not wincing at the bill...it was certainly all worth it!!

So pleased we went to the Paxton for our first ever timeShocked at how good the prices were on both food and drink! The tuna taco had proper slabs of tuna steak and the crab cakes actually tasted like crab rather than fried batter!Nice atmosphere with people simply enjoying themselves. Not too drafty and had heaters around to help guests.We will be going back

Decent food, nice drink selection. Good size pub, very lively and full of people. They had a lot of deals on, which meant even with mains and drinks it came to be really cheap for a night out.

Great Sunday roast and burger options, chilled atmosphere with great local beers from Gypsy Hill Brewery (my favourite). Very friendly staff and great for the family for a comfortable Sunday afternoon or any time of the week!

Had a really nice Sunday dinner here, in a lovely sheltered outdoor space. The food was really good (had the lamb roast), only niggle were the veggies, everything else spot on. Great choice of desserts too and friendly service.
