Review of The Table in Southwark

Tucked away in the heart of Southwark, The Table Café is known for being a firm brunch favourite, offering delicious classics in a relaxed atmosphere. We visited on a Monday lunch time and were lucky enough to have astounding weather, so took a table outside on their beautiful little side terrace. Considering how central it is, it’s very much a calm little oasis even when it’s buzzing on the streets outside.

The menu is truly a brunch lover’s dream and I struggled to whittle down the menu. After some debate, I went for The Table Full Veggie; a generous, vibrant plate packed with smashed avocado, homemade baked beans, sweet potato rounds, steamed spinach, sautéed mushrooms and leeks, grilled tomatoes, a herby veggie sausage, and crusty fresh sourdough. Filling and nourishing, the kind of breakfast that leaves you feeling deeply satisfied without feeling a bit gross about the sheer amount of it (the plates are big here). Super fresh ingredients cooked to perfection, special shout out to the baked beans because I usually can’t touch baked beans, but their homemade version is delicious.

My guest chose the Brunch Club pancakes, and they were as beautiful as they were indulgent: pillowy soft stacks topped with crispy smoked bacon, Cumberland sausages, free range scrambled eggs, chives, and of course a little pot of maple syrup to finish it off. I do have to admit to a hint of food jealousy because they looked truly epic. Of course, no brunch is complete without a couple of boozy drinks. We had the classic mimosa, and a Picante spicy margarita. Both great options which paired well with the meal.

The team at The Table are always super lovely and the venue has a real neighbourhood feel, somewhere you would become a weekend regular if you had access to it. To mark their 20th Birthday they are also offering an extra reason to come down with both the Southwark and Battersea locations serving up a Birthday Brunch menu. Available all day, every day throughout August, guests can enjoy any two brunches for just £20, or opt for a solo dish for £10.
