Simplicity

Called in as another place nearby was full as I was looking for a Sunday roast. Choice of chicken or beef at Simplicity. Chose the chicken which was tender, lots of vegetables, gravy, separate bowl of cauliflower. Yorkshire dumpling on top so looked appetizing. I'm not a dumpling fan so left that. The roast potatoes were a bit too hard on the outside for my taste and no skin on the chicken but the problem was a piece of metal in the cauliflower. Luckily I had cut it up first so saw a dark spot not realising what it was at first. Told the waitress, offered a dessert or drink but I declined and was given 10% discount on payment. A bit disappointed overall but I'm just visiting so won't be back. One other thing was that the restaurant was very cold.

Delicious hidden gem. The menu is brought to you on a chalk board which was a bit quirky but the food is amazing. We had the sunday roast it was quite simply divine. The price was really good value for money. The staff are really lovely and make you feel very welcome. The chef was very accommodating to dietary restrictions. We had a nice lovely intimate dinner and would highly recommend it.

The restaurant reopened today with a lovely list of tapas as well as a Bermondsey beef burger and fish fingers. Three of us ate halloumi fries,, fried greylings, Spanish potato tortilla, and a lovely grilled goat cheese salad. Fritters of homegrown courgette and apple crumble with homegrown apples were also on the list. The owner/chef served us himself and the atmosphere was calm and quiet, so we could chat easily.
