The Understudy

Great spot for summer evening drinks. Can get quite busy so recommend booking in advance or going early. Plenty of seats around and you can always take a walk. I recommend their vegan pizza which is one of the best non-cheese pizzas I’ve tried. I prefer the normal fries over the masala ones. Drinks are relatively cheap too given london. Staff are super pleasant. Limited toilets

I love the Understudy and have been coming for a while now. But recently I’ve felt it’s lost the individualistic feeling that it used to have. I loved how it felt like a real assortment of people working there, all able to express themselves in their own style- a real artist and theatre vibe! But now they must of had a change of owners or something and they are all wearing the same black tops. Just feels like they’ve been made to look more uniform but that takes away expression and makes it feel more of a chain or something! Bit sad and I imagine they would want it to be back to the way it was too.

First time going here this week and was such a positive experience. The staff were lovely, one staff member with an afro (sorry I could not get your name) and the manager, in particular had excellent customer service. I had to change my food order and they were so understanding and so helpful. (Thank you again) Food was great and I would go back again in a heartbeat.
