The Kitchen OLD

It was busy and had a bit of a wait for our food, 6:45 on a Saturday evening so was to be expected, but it was worth it!!. Second time eating here and it was delicious. Highly recommend booking first as it is getting popular

Good food, good atmosphere, good service can’t complain And will return again, can’t fault the food and the service was always with a smile. Great little place In a little part of town

Friendly and welcoming restaurant with excellent food and service! Not too pricey for the high quality of food served, and the environment is perfect for an intimate or family meal

Hadn’t been to the Kitchen for ages - still Lovely food, good service . They still do the most amazing chocolate bread and butter pudding 😀

Charming waitresses, lovely atmosphere. Something happened and our food took a VERY long time to arrive, but I'm presuming that it was a blip, as it was certainly lovely when it did turn up.

Arrived for early start on crutches & received Friendly, thoughtful & fast service. This was capped with delicious food & tasty cocktails. Enjoyed seeing the restaurant fill up. Thank you.

Sunday roast for 3, all had something different and everyone loved it. Been coming here for years and must say it has only got better.

Delicious meal enjoyed by myself and my two friends. This was the first visit for all of us. Lovely atmosphere and staff. The bowl of sweets at the end was much appreciated. Will be back to try out the breakfasts and the Sunday roast. I recommend booking first as it is popular

Under new ownership with a completely new decor but food just as good as ever. Always well a visit. One of the best restaurants Walthamstow Village has to offer.

Very good menu and food was wonderful Service was friendly but unobtrusive and efficient. There was a community atmosphere it felt comfortable and relaxed I would recommend

Great food, very tasty and well presented. Very relaxed atmosphere and attentive friendly staff. Will definitely return and certainly recommend as a great place to eat.

Everyone enjoyed their visit for our Birthday lunch celebration . Pleasant atmosphere , cheerful &helpful staff , good service & tasty food . I would recommend a visit

40 minutes before starters arrived, one of the starters was incorrect. Then another 40 minutes for mains. Flabby pork belly. Freezing cold, with other diners also keeping their coats on (and also getting wrong orders) and perfunctory service. Not sure if the management has changed, but the service and cosy vibe definitely has. Was a go-to, but no more.

Waitress was a little sullen to start off with but food very good. Food came in good time. I will certainly be visiting again soon. Good selection on menu and vegan colleague very happy with soya milk for coffee (almond also available).

Food was excellent for the mains, although there was a slight mix up on appetisers which they corrected quickly. Overall an enjoyable evening as always.

I love the village kitchen and have been going there since I moved to the U.K. the food is always fresh the staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is amazing the kitchen is open so you can see the chef cooking away. If you are looking for a great place to eat at really good prices in Walthamstow then the village kitchen is certainly one on the top of the list.

Excellent food that was prepared quickly and tasted lovely. The service was amazing, very relaxed and friendly but also attentive when needed. I'll definitely be back soon.

Good service, varied menu, food served hot. Overall, a positive experience for myself and two family diners. Well worth a visit and we intend to return!

Great ambience and great food. Very welcoming. Made for a lovely evening to help celebrate my husbands birthday. Very impressed overall and would definitely return

The food, as always, was very nice and reasonably priced. The wine was also very nice. The service was very attentive and the food arrived in good time.

Excellent food and service on a busy Saturday night. Four of us, two were on their first visit to the Village Kitchen, and they were very impressed.

This is NOT place to visit if you are vegetarian! The starter was OK, Hummus, bread etc, the risotto was terrible, far too salty, I couldnt eat it all, it was so salty it made me nauseous. I was with friends so decided to not worry and ask for a sorbet for dessert, the restaurant said it was in the house,which was nice except it was full of ice crystals and had that taste of something that fell down the back of the freezer long ago. On a positive, the waiter was very good, polite and efficient. Despite this I won’t waste money there again.

Service great but food was distinctly average. Pancakes were not good - stodgy and not risen at all. Smoked salmon bagel was tasty, but a bit short on the salmon!

Liked the menu, although too many meat/fish dishes had pork in it for my liking. The chicken I ordered was a little dry. Would be good not to mix fish dishes with other types of meat. Pudding felt like it wasn't made in the restaurant, perhaps brought in? Was too sweet. Nice setting and service.

Absolutely amazing food and top-class service in lovely surroundings and it was very reasonably priced. Our visit was a real treat and we look forward to going back very soon!

Lovely relaxing atmosphere and great food! We really enjoyed the Sunday roast - best sticky toffee pudding I've ever eaten. Will definitely go back again.

Lovely set lunch 2 courses for £10 - great value and food was excellent as usual. Service was perfect too. Will definitely be back soon!

Lovely (late) lunch at the Village Kitchen. Quite hard to find somewhere in the village that does Roasts after 3pm! All the roast options were still available when we dined at 5.30 I had the salmon which was delicious. As always great service and love the little touch of the jar of sweets with the bill!

Our favourite restaurant, great food , lovely staff. See you again soon😀

Booked an hour before, for 4 and a table was available. The service excellent, not pushy or pretentious. The food was excellent. We had a perfect night out with friends. I would recommend the Village Kitchen.

We spent a lovely afternoon celebrating a birthday and wedding anniversary . The food was great, lovely atmosphere. We were not rushed and will return 💋

Sunday lunch was average. We asked what the vegetarian option was and was told ‘don’t know, a round thing, don’t know the name’. Everything was drowning in salt. When told that their coke was flat, the response was ‘it was out of a can’. No offer to exchange it. Long wait for food to arrive even though it was empty. Expensive for what it was and 12.5% tip included in bill. Won’t be returning I’m afraid.

Very good service. Good value lunch for £10. Nice window seat. Fairly good menu choice. Pleasant atmosphere. Would go again especially as its such good value for 2 course meal

Village Kitchen served us very tasty food at reasonable prices (for London). We all enjoyed our main courses very much and not a crumb was left! The service was always given with a smile - we appreciated how friendly they were. The reason I did not give the maximum marks was because my starter was very very small and ok (not great) for the price paid, but the main courses put everything right. We will be back.

A regular place to eat. This time a relaxed breakfast on a Sunday morning. Staff always great fun. Food good and service excellent. And on a hot day the air con was great!

I booked on Saturday to dine Sunday evening and could only get a 7pm reservation. My friends arrived on time but I was unavoidably 30 minutes late, yes the restaurant was almost empty and we were not asked for the table back after 90 minutes. The food and service were excellent. A great asset to the array of eateries in Walthamstow Village.

Very good welcome and service. Two special Mezze starters and a Calamari were excellent. Mains of lamb, duck and burger were equally good. Italian wine was enjoyable. Only minor point was the coleslaw - a bit weak.

We visited The Village Kitchen for my in laws diamond wedding anniversary. It was just perfect for them. Rob, our waiter, looked after them so respectfully and professionally. He had such a lovely manner about him. Thank you Rob, you made their evening special with your treats of Prosecco and dessert. We are very grateful. The food was great quality and plentiful and was so well presented. The music wasn’t too loud and the toilets were accessible. The quaint and unpretentious ambience was just right for the occasion and just what we wanted. The only difficulty we had was that we could not get the car near enough to the restaurant for a drop-off, which was difficult for elderly people, but they managed thankfully. A delightful restaurant. No complaints.

A first time lunch for us, food ,service,value all extremely good , we look forward to another visit . The lunch special menu was good .

The food was delicious - all dishes perfectly cooked and presented. Good value for the midweek deal and great service. This restaurant never disappoints. Thank you so much for a lovely evening.

Had a great meal as usual... great choice including for vegetarians, wine list has good prices, there is a welcoming atmosphere and lovely staff. Best venue in the Village and I hope to go back soon.

We were welcomed very nicely and the food was good. The waiter was very polite, smiley and generally very nice. We do recommend the place .

This place is great. Great service and consistently great food. Haven't been for a while and the prices have gone up.. bit on the expensive side but can't moan about the quality

There's a friendly atmosphere, good starters and mains. It was just the puds that were a bit disappointing all round. Bring back the banofee pie!

Delicious food and wonderful service, we were really pleasantly surprised. Will definitely be coming back very soon and telling everyone we know to pay a visit!

Food very good but bit of gap between starters n main.service very friendly.unfortunately cash only but would definitely go again lucky there’s a service till opposite

This was a second visit and it didn’t fail to deliver friendly services, tasty food and great wine. Really worth a visit. Loved the sweets they offer with the bill, nice touch.

Very good food and choices, and pleasant staff. it was lovely and quiet most of the time we were there, but got noisier as we were about to leave; good timing

Excellent food Friendly staff Not overpriced o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Ono o o o o

Delicious food, great service, reasonably priced - what's not to like? No matter how many times i go, it's consistently good. The sweet jar with the bill is always appreciated
