The Kitchen OLD

Nice food but odd rule where they serve breakfast until 12, but told us we had to get our order in by 11:45. Just write 11:45 on the menu!

Great service, great food. Lovely atmosphere for a birthday celebration! Only problem was that they couldn’t take card payments on the day. They had tried to contact everyone but if you weren’t aware then there was a atm seconds away.

Quite a shock when we asked for scrambled eggs not fried to be told there was a £1.50 surcharge as it meant using 2 extra eggs. This wasn’t marked on the menu and I’ve never seen this in any other restaurant. Unbelievable

The coffee was burnt though when we raised the issue they did not object to giving us a refund. The service generally it must be noted was very good. The french toast was also awful. More like omelette bread with a whole tub of cream on top. My girlfriend only managed to struggle down about half of it before giving up. The full English was good however although I found it strange that you had to pay extra for toast...

The meal was awesome,however the restaurant itself was really cold and drafty which made us just want to eat our food and go straight away

Very good food friendly service but high service charge and cant use credit cards and they don't advertise the fact you cant use credit cards

Amazing as always. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are always exceptional. Make sure you book in advance as it does get busy. Gemma is an amazing host Back on wednesday for our anniversary :)

This place is beautiful: the food is excellent and the service very attentive. The Sunday roast and the desserts were to die for! I would definitely recommend it.

Very good food and service. Only negative was it was chilly as the heating was broken. Not the staffs fault but on a cold day it impacted the experience slightly.

Great food in VK. I always feel looked after by the staff when I go here, can't recommend it enough if you are in Walthamstow

Beautiful food and lovely atmosphere, good wine selection and knowledgeable staff. Perhaps a little pricey compared to other restaurants in the area but probably represents value for money.

Beautiful food! Our fav restaurant! Their mackeral risotto, Thai monkfish curry And gorgeous choc brownie are not to be missed!

Busy but a good vibe. Friendly staff. Good food. A regular destination

Excellent roast dinners were had by all my party, more jus was delivered as requested - but we are more 'lashings of gravy' people than 'a touch of jus'! The staff were great and made us feel very at home - taking our coats as we came in. Relaxed atmosphere where we were not rushed. Nice touch to have the sweets with the bill!

Profesional customer service. Exelent food and very nice atmosphere. We went there first time and we will be back there time to time. Thank You.

The quality of our food was excellent although our table wasn’t ready at our allotted time so it was quite late by the time we got to eat.

As usual, we had a good experience at the Village Kitchen. The food was all tasty and the service was great. We will be returning soon.

Friendly efficient service. Good tasty food and a nice wine list. Best to book as often gets quite busy. Great Sunday lunches which also cater for vegetarians

Yes lovely restaurant waitress absolutely fantastic, so helpful, food great, what we did not like no machine available to take credit cards, which for a top restaurant not very good, the payment had to be done the next day by direct transfer, also service charge is definitely too high.

Excellent service ,very tasty food . Pleasant ambience .That describes our family experience very well . I do not need to use twenty five words to make a comment .

delicious food. Bit miffed the service charge of 12.5% was not discretionary. We were sat next to the kitchen with no other diners would have nice to have been where there were others as a little out of the way

Good service and nice food . Good choices for children including small plates from the menu . Would come back again. Apparently the chocolate bread and butter pudding is excellent

Friendly welcoming staff and nice environment. Good menu and quick service

Amazingly delicious food and very friendly staff. Very quite which was very relaxing especially that we went there at the end of the dayThe best cheese cake I ate so far.

Gastro pub without the pub. There was good service and nice food. The decor is a little dated but overall a pleasant place to go.

Still the best Sunday lunch in Walthamstow! Served, as always, by friendly and efficient staff. The Village Kitchen never fails; it is just the place on a cold winters afternoon.

what a disappointment-well over priced -food no taste - service crap-dinner for two £85 in Walthamstow. Would have been better off in the West End. We had a glass of wine each,starter-main and we shared something that they called a cheese cake. Never again 😡

Fantastic food and really nice staff. Great offers we have no complaints for a great meal. Bit of a shock to find they did not take card payments when we arrived.

Really lovely service, generous and tasty food, and a great atmosphere for a pre-Christmas get together. Just remember to bring cash. They did call in advance to let us know, but the nearby cash machine was broken. Luckily we were able to pay using our banking app!

Been here many times before and just as any other time the food is great the service is brilliant and it is always a great experience. Already missing the roasted monkfish wrapped in parma ham and the chocolate brownie for dessert.

The Village Kitchen has been around in Walthamstow for years. Its a bit of a local institution if you like! That said, they haven't rested on their laurels and keep serving up delicious, varied and comforting food in pleasant surroundings. The chocolate bread and butter pudding is utterly delicious and a menu staple! On this visit I also had the duck liver pate which was really rich, and worked really well with the toasted homemade bread, I also had the lamb loin special which came with black garlic and cous cous - lovely! I don't think I know anyone who has had a bad experience at the Village Kitchen, we certainly haven't so I'll definitely recommend it.

Lovely welcoming venue in Orford Road. Good quality food at a great lunchtime price deal. Being able to book online is very convenient. Would recommend to friends.

The food was excellent; there were no complaints on this score at all. The reason for the lowish score was the service, which was slow and not very attentive. This may have been because the 2 waitresses were covering the bar as well as serving at table. It looked as if they were one person short. However, we will be going again, and hope that they have managed to sort out the staffing issue

Great accurately cooked food and a warm welcome. The only little criticisms I have is the portions are a little small, and it's cash only. Will go again.

Staff we very accommodating and attentive. Breakfast menu was lovely, all our party enjoyed their choices. We also saw people eating Sunday lunch on the way out and the roasts looked really good. We would definitely recommend!

Amazing food, the Thai fish cakes, risotto and chocolate bread and butter pudding were delicious. The waitress was very helpful and friendly. Great background music too.

Lovely meal. Well presented. Warm and friendly atmosphere. We both had the Sunday roast and I asked the waiter if he could guarantee that my sirloin would be served ‘rare’ if ordered. He said that he could. And indeed it was (which is sadly not always the case at many other Sunday roast venues). Always a treat to come to VK.

We had a wonderful meal. Two courses are available for £18.75 in the evening which is very good value. I though the food was some of the best I have eaten in London. I was very pleased with the restaurant and only wished lived closer so I could visit it more often. Well worth visiting. Our waiter Rob was great fun, and looked after us well.

Had to wait for our Sunday roast for nearly an hour. However the meal was very good indeed so we were happy in the end. Would definitely go there again.

A lovely Sunday roast - great food and brilliant service as usual.

Fab food and lovely service. Loved it and am going back on Thursday !! Brought some friends from out of town and they loved it too, thanks.

Great service. Good good Gave good advice on Gluten free options and adapted the menu for me. No pressure so we enjoyed a relaxed evening.

A lovely venue. Great food and friendly warm staff. Their weekend breakfast/brunch menu is excellent. It's probably our favourite restaurant in Walthamstow and the best in the Village.

Grear lunch with inlaws. Good choice of food, not over long menus. I had falaffel burger and wedges, which were great. Short but tasty dessert menu.

We had booked a table for four and were placed near the entrance. The light was very bright and made the whole place feel very uncosy. Our waitress seemed very clumsy and unattentive. One of my friends received the wrong food, some of our steaks were ice cold so the herb butter wouldn't even melt the fries were soggy. We had to poor our own wine after one of us tasting it and the waitress walking off. Finally we received a incorrect bill with one meal too much on it. All in all a poor experience!

Great staff very friendly food was very nice main meal took a little long to come but overall good food with a friendly atmosphere would return again.

Really fresh tasty food and generous portions catering for vegetarians too. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Great for a family Sunday lunch; brilliant atmosphere and location.

Our first visit and what a delightful evening with delicious tasty food and charming staff. The food was cooked well and nicely presented. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit for a relaxing meal with friends and family.

Great service, great food. Always a pleasure at VK and staff always helpful, friendly and considerate. Lovely place to eat, for breakfast lunch or dinner.

Fantastic restaurant food was amazing really loved the area will definitely go there again I would recommend this lovely place to anyone I meet .
