Good Neighbour Peckham in Southwark

First time back in a few years and first time having dinner. Aussie manager made a great wine suggestion and we shared six sharing plates. The artichoke parmesan dip and smoked mackerel mousse were standouts. Front is less noisy, so recommend sitting there if wanting an intimate meal.

Very enjoyable meal. Dishes are fresh and flavourful with a good wine list to complement. Good cocktails to start with.

I very rarely review restaurants but this place is genuinely fantastic. Food is so good. Great place to bring friends or for a date. Love it!

I’ve eaten here a number of times over the past two years or so for dinner - consistently great service, food, and wine/cocktails. Definitely recommend!

Came here for brunch. The staff are v friendly but the food was very disappointing. £12 for a dry BLT with frozen chips, would not come back.

The staff are lovely and welcoming, the food is reliably great and the coffee is good. Highly recommend!

Did not meet my expectations! I've eaten dinner here once previously and was very impressed by the quality of the food, originality of the menu, and service. However, I visited this Saturday for brunch and was really disappointed by the food. I ordered the roasted aubergine and chickpea salad with a tahini dressing, I was expecting a reasonable size portion, roasted ingredients and some great flavours. I received a full plate of cos lettuce covered in olive oil with a few loose chickpeas and a few tiny bits of what tasted like boiled aubergine. Would propose taking this off of the menu if this is how it's going to be served! And would recommend others to stick to eggs or other standard brunch options to avoid disappointment!

A real depreciation in food quality standards. Having visited this venue for many years, the quality continues to decline. The full English is unrecognisable - the quality of the sausage has gone from excellent to poor and the kitchen told blatant lies that no ingredients had been switched out. The beans are water and the bacon is now streaky fat and no meat. You’ve lost 4 customers.

I went mid week for dinner to celebrate my birthday. Food and service are excellant (and so personal), as always. The Good Neighbour Camberwell and now Peckham have become one of the few places that I will go back to again and again and take friends too! Can't fault it. Photo below of a sketch, the waitress attending to our table drew for me. So lovely! Thank you.

Went for brunch, it had a cosy atmosphere and the food looked simple but elegant and tasty

The food is pretty good and reasonably price, nice atmosphere and staff are friendly and nice. However I’ve had a couple of issues with this branch. First issue was when I called up one morning to book a table for brunch that day, they assured me they had spaces and would seat us. However when we got there at the time we had agreed they had shut the kitchen. The second was this weekend when we were only given one hour to order, eat, and finish our food. We spent a decent amount (£80+) and my friend hadn’t even finished her tea when the staff member was asking us to leave. We checked the time and we had just been there a hour. I won’t be returning as a result of all this as on principles don’t think it’s right to spend so much and not get 1.5hours. Spinach, Ron’s and other places locally are better in my opinion.

Went to good neighbour on a whim when other places were full- never heard of the place before but was so pleasantly surprised. Had no booking but was met on the floor by a lovely host who was welcoming and gave us a table of 4. Wasn’t sure what to drink but the host recommended us a cocktail based on our preferences (i don’t think it was on the menu) which was lovely. I had the gorgonzola gnocci, archichoke dip and prawn croquettes (all of which were recommended). The food was delicious for a mid afternoon snack and was brought out swiftly. I really appreciated the friendliness of the staff who we also had good conversation with. Good neighbour was an unexpected pleasure, I will definitely be heading back- hopefully for bunch which i’ve heard is great!

Came for dinner and we tried around six plates, they're all shares, we loved them but felt the need to give feedback on the almonds, ricotta and tenderstem plate because for us it was unseasoned. Had a great chat with the owner and staff and we all appreciated each others comments and it made for a lovely experience We will be back and you should too! Great service, music and prices.

Fab service from Tara and Alice! Lovely food for a birthday brunch

the staff were really nice but the food was average, lukewarm, bland and the portions were small. we had the full english and the pancakes, wouldn’t recommend :(

Great spot for brunch, but make sure to book as it fills up quickly on Saturday. Great smashed avocado on toast and scrambled eggs with salmon.

We went to this lovely restaurant last night for the first time. Superb small plates, each one a gem. My favourite was the ricotta gnocchi but every plate brought great flavour. The chef is clearly very skilled. The waitress gave great service, and was very patient with my picky taste in wine, rejecting the South African Sauv. Blanc for the much superior Italian, perfect match for the food. The restaurant was quiet for a Thursday, but the interior is simple and modern. Liked it a lot. We will definitely return for more. And finally please can you open a restaurant in Kingston??

What a great place. Food was delicious, prawn croquettes and salmon mousse especially but everything was good. The service was great, attentive and not over the top. Especially Loren who was amazing.

Lovely restaurant with delicious and healthy food. Great service too.

Great food. Lots of vegan and veggie options, lovely staff, great atmosphere and music

Everything took long which happens but the place wasn’t even that busy. When the meal and drinks were finished our server eventually came over and asked if we’d like anything else. We said no and instead of coming back with the bill she just left and stood behind the bar doing nothing as we sat there ready to leave. Eventually I had to go up and ask for the bill even though we were right in front of her with an empty table clearly waiting to leave.

Best brunch I had in South London, amazing location and atmosphere in the buzzing Peckham Rye! Staff is super friendly and experienced, Lauren especially made it so enjoyable for us to have a nice meal outside.

A disappointing experience. Seated on a small table at the side which meant people had to squeeze past. Wrong breakfast delivered initially that meant there was about a 10 minute wait between both breakfasts being served. Food was fine but expected more for the price. Won’t be returning.

This feels like a restaurant on the brink of closing. Half empty on a Saturday night, half the menu missing, and no full time chef. Staff are nice but have been left with very little to work with. What food was available was bland and overpriced. Apparently it’s quite nice for brunch, avoid dinner service though

Have really enjoyed the Camberwell location in the past and was excited to try the Peckham branch for brunch today. Called at 12:40 to check if they were open and spoke on the phone with someone super helpful that mentioned we wouldn’t need to book at 1:30pm we should be able to walk up and be served. We chatted about the foods that were on the menu still as they’d run out of a few dishes. Arrived at 1pm (30mins earlier than we mentioned) and were then told they are not serving food anymore in a blasé manner. I mentioned we had just spoke to someone on the phone and they went off and came back a few minutes later and said the kitchens closed and offered no sincerity in delivering the message. Left a bad taste in the mouth and we sadly wont be visiting this place again.

Went here after LOVING the camberwell one. It was a disappointment to say the least. The food was very bland, and it has none of the cosiness that makes camberwell so amazing. I would say the camberwell is one of my favourite restaurants in London and the peckham one is completely average.

Went for brunch over the weekend and it was lovely. Yummy food and great service. We were sitting close to the window which was nice as the weather was lovely.

Smallish menu that does the job. Nice for a light simple brunch or salad.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff. Food was quite nice but quite over-priced so sadly don't think we will return.

Really love the brunches here! Good portions and decent prices for London.

Was there recently for the half price night, great food and value, will be back

The service is very bad (short lady) and the pastry is not fresh

Top quality dishes, great service

Great restaurant. 3x We've been. 2 Plates per person is usually enough for us to have our fill of the fantastic food. The cocktails and wine list is great as well. Very friendly staff.

Tasty AF, this restaurant does not fail to impress. You really cannot make a mistake with the menu, there are several options for all diets. For me the ravioli is phenomenal. AND (if you go on Wednesdays it’s half off the food menu) Hopefully they’ll keep it that way:) highly recommend!!!

Perfect vibes, especially in the summer months. Myself and my partner came here a few times last summer, and ordered a few tapas type dishes and a cocktail each. I can't exactly remember what we ordered, but it was delicious and we left feeling very content from the experience. The waiter was so attentive - I've never been a big drinker and asked if I could have only 1 shot of alcohol in my beverage, and he went above and beyond and made me a bespoke cocktail not quite on the menu. It was sooo tasty and refreshing, I was in heaven.

Lovely place for a chill brunch in South London. Good variety of cocktails, juices, toasts, sandwich and salads. Top quality!☝🏼

Absolutely fabulous place in the Peckham Rye village in London. Went for brunch with a group of 6. Cosy place & Great ambience. Tastefully decorated interior with private booths and tables. relaxing weekend tunes playing in the background. I ordered the Full English which was outstanding. The Cumberland breakfast sausages were amazing along with the mushrooms and crispy bacon. Others in my group ordered the Pancakes. Eggs Royale which were looked amazing too. I sat on a beautifully mixed Bloody Mary to go with breakfast. The best coffee I had whilst I was London. The people and service was also outstanding .

great place and a wonderful atmosphere, worth popping in. great coffee too!

You just can't go wrong with Good Neighbour. Very tasty dishes, friendly service, cosy setting & decent prices. Always love coming back! April 2023: back again and we had a lovely meal, as expected. Stone bass, braised beef & korean fried chicken were all delicious!

Worth visiting — Great atmosphere, fantastic service and the food was really tasty! Highlights were the Pumpkin Arancini, Gnocchi and Fried feta. I might skip the cod cheeks and cauliflower next time and double up on the others. Creme Brûlée was also great.

Posting because I visited this local spot last night with a friend for dinner and not only did they make an excellent negroni, the food was really delicious. My friend is pescatarian (I’m not) but we ate mainly from their offering of vegetarian small plates and every mouthful was packed full of flavour and carefully thought through and service was attentive but not overbearing. Loved it!

Flavour combinations didn't work

Fantastic brunch spot in Peckham! The overall atmosphere of this place is very chill and their Brisket Benedict is absolutely to DIE FOR! 🤩 A must try if you like BBQ or just delicious smoky meat in general. Give it a go, seriously.

Terrible portion sizing; avoid for large groups. Between the group of 11 of us for a birthday celebration, we were only allowed to dine on the set menu option which looked great on paper, however in reality it was very problematic. 1) The dishes were randomly placed across our tables, there would be 3 plates of arancini on one end and none on the other, so people were missing out on dishes without realising. 2) None of the staff we spoke to knew how the dishes were divided between the group; we asked multiple times if it’s one plate between 2 people? How does it work? Etc. The first staff wrongly confirmed with us that it was one plate each then later corrected himself after enquiring internally. At one point, we flagged that there’s 3 small slices of salmon between 5 people. The staff checked & confirmed that there should be exactly 10 pieces across the table in total. We jokingly flagged that should we portion out 9 & three quarters between 11 people? The staff awkwardly laughed it off but did nothing about it. 2 of the diners had to sacrifice. 3) We had 3 small portions of truffle chips to divided between 11 people!! That’s basically 3-4 chips per person, extremely ungenerous. 4) There’s no ‘beef tortellini’ alternative for the vegetarian diners on the table. They simply just had to sit out for the course. 5) Our drinks came after the sharing starters courses In summary, the sharing menu was clearly designed for each diner to one bite of food per dish: ONE croquette, ONE slice of salmon, ONE slice of bread, ONE broccoli, ONE Tortellini. It would leave confused, hungry and frustrated with the staff. I do not recommend this restaurant for group dining.

Lovely place for brunch with friends and family! We have been here quite a few times as we don't live far away, and the service is usually very friendly, and the food is excellent quality and delicious. Usually, I have pancakes, and they always have been great. The only last time I was there (5th of Feb 23), the pancakes were like a cake and not like American pancakes. Not sure what happened there. Also, they ran out of decaffeinated coffee that day, and instead of quickly buying some at the coffee shop next door, they apologised and said they could buy some. It just felt weird. Either just do it or say, we ran out instead of asking your customer what to do :)

Lovely food, service, cocktails and ambience. The cauliflower is so delicious!

Sorry, but I never give 20 stars to any place, therefore 19 stars is my top score :) The atmosphere here is incredible, and the settings is very comfortable. I was not expecting a place like this south of the River. For one minute, I thought I was in Mayfair!!

My son and I love this place. Always go for a full English and they always deliver. And they allow dogs. What's not to like!!

For the price both the food and service were a bit underwhelming. The eggs arrived cold, it was a busy time, but still, for 14.5 I expect better. The drinks prices in the menu were outdated and lower than charged. Staff seemed a bit disoriented. And they charge service, of course.

great spot for a nice meal, excellent front of house staff and great food for a reasonable price.

Food took a very long time to arrive. It was an interesting concept with all sorts of food, inspired by italian, european, korean, japanese. Food was tasty and nicely plated, but it feels like the concept lacked in continuity and no-one of the dishes were fantastic, they were all average or average+. Service was attentive but slow. It took 20 minutes between getting a drink and getting a bread basket - the restaurant could easily organise itself better between BOH/FOH and bring stuff like bread immediately instead of leaving customers to wait for a very long time for dishes that will take a couple of seconds to get ready.

Amazing restaurant with small plates! Food is always very creative and high standard

Lovely food, especially the seared tuna and Korean chicken. Booths are cosy and great service

Tasty little small plates, some humble some more fancy. Decent cocktails.

Awesome brunch place by the Rye, been a few times and it never disappoints.

Very nice local cafè/brunch restaurant. We went there for brunch. Service is very friendly and attentive. Food is good. I ordered the korean chicken burger which was not great. The batter on the chicken was too thick for the size of the fillets (not much chicken). The sauce was quite bland, I would have expected some chilli, the pickled salad was also very plain and had no fermented taste at all. Chips were nice, triple fried, very crispy. Fortunately I also tried a bit of the full english which was nice with good quality ingredients and the pancakes which were also very nice and fluffy. Next time I will order one of the classics.

Very friendly staff, really tasty food and good value. Fun atmosphere, delicious cocktails.

Lush cocktails and amazing ambience in the restaurant for catch ups and lovely food. Thank you Hayley and Russell for looking after us x

The Good Neighbour is a super sweet place that produces excellent dishes. I described it to a friend half jokingly as the Peckham Michellin star restaurant. Each dish is uniquely delicious in its own way from both the vegetarian and meat options. Definitely value for money for a night at a good quality place. Ideal for first dates.

Nice little spot for a bougie breakfast if you’re after something more than toast.

It's a nice vibe but portions are tiny.

Delicious tapas, a really inventive menu

Not great, undercooked chicken, rude manager

Fast becoming our favourite local, local. We even visited twice today. Creative & extensive menu, great wines & cocktails paired with a lovely venue and the most engaging of staff. Really punches above its weight in terms of value > cost > creativity. A must visit 🙂

Food was nice, we shared a few of the veggie small plates. The atmosphere was quite nice but the table was very uncomfortable - we felt very squished and cramped in a corner by the front window, and every time the front door opened, someone bumped into my partner

Superb food, very friendly staff and excellent cocktails. We had 6 plates between 2 of us and each one was delicious, although the cauliflower with beetroot hummus and the rolled hake really stood out, as did the Korean chicken. Really buzzy Saturday night vibe with the music at the perfect level. Will definitely return.

Can't fault this place, everyone was really happy, and made us feel so welcome. Between us we tried all the various pancake options, the apple & cinnamon with a side of bacon was superb. Thanks guys and gals for a fab lunch, hope to be back to try the Benny Trio, and the Smashed Avocado with chilli pineapple salsa!!! Plus they do various GF and vegan choices...deffo something for everyone :) Cheers

To the legend that is Hugh who was our server for the night. Brilliant venue and even better service. Hugh was awesome and such a great guy. Will definitely be back. Food was unreal! Ace place!

Amazing spot in Peckham. Immaculate vibes, friendly and helpful staff and the food was incredible. I’ll be dreaming of fried feta with honey until my next visit…

Beautiful establishment with incredible food and staff

Food & service extremely poor. Chicken, salmon, octopus was gone off. Really disappointed as had high hopes for this place :(

As the name suggests, good neighbours by name and nature. I love coming here to unwind with some nice wine, some great food and brilliant atmosphere provided by the kindest staff in london ❤️

If these were my neighbours I’d call the police! Food below average, drinks sub standard and service bar the young guy with long hair, was hostile. Small grey ozzy was abruptly aggressive towards us. Time to find a new waiter hint hint!

Lovely dinner with my daughters. Delicious wine and fabulous food. Staff helpful and a lovely setting. A new favourite for us.

I’ve eaten here a few times and I have been greeted by the friendliest Australian man ever each time I enter. The breakfast is incredible and they offer great gluten free options. They also don’t judge when you decide to have a beer at 11am which is amazing

Very nice Sunday brunch today, I had a brisket, vegan breakfast for my partner and some amazing pancakes recommended by the very skilled barista. We will defo come back ;-)

My go to place for dinner every time I'm in London. Incredibly kind and friendly staff, amazing food and charming vibes. Love it.

One of the best food experiences I’ve ever had in London!

Great food and lovely atmosphere. The service was friendly and fast. Had an amazing time

Lovely restaurant, very welcoming staff, thanks very much for a fun night and the espresso martinis

Really well welcomed, even if the place is crowded and packed. Trying to find a space for us, which we really appreciated. All the staff is smily and friendly. The food is very tasty, and original. I had the club bun, and really enjoy the combination of flavours. Wine list is nice but I am sure you can do better !

Really surprised to see reviewers giving this place less than 5 stars, because it is an absolute gem of a restaurant! Intimate and stylish, but not pretentious, with outstanding food. I went last night with friends for my birthday, and couldn't fault it. The menu is varied, with something for everyone. All the dishes we had were so delicious (and we tried pretty much one of everything off the menu!) with particular highlights being the aubergine doughnuts, gorgonzola gnocchi, and beetroot arrancini. There's a really good cocktail selection which I'd love to sample next time, as we stuck to wine and champers. The staff couldn't have been more attentive, and did all they could to make our evening a proper celebration, including blowing up balloons for us! It's the nicest meal I've had out for a while, and will 100% be back. Thanks so much, Good Neighbour!

Seriously great staff - this is a place you want to go to

Good atmosphere; helpful staff and good selection of tapas on offer.

Always liked this place when it was Pedler, and it’s still good.

Ah-May-zing! Lovely wine list, lovely food, lovely service - oh and dog friendly??? ☑️☑️☑️➕

Excellent sharing plates, reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. The aubergine and miso doughnuts could have been fried crispier and the prawn croquettes were fine, but the lamb, the gorgonzola and walnut gnocchi and the harissa cauliflower were out of this world. Good drinks menu and friendly service (though currently a little short staffed) as well.

Excellent food, wine and service. Well worth a visit! Interesting and varied small plates - really well presented and very, very tasty. Decent wine list, some interesting looking cocktails. Service was friendly and fun.

Went for Sunday brunch and was a little disappointed. On the menu it specifies gluten free bread is available so I assumed this would apply to their sandwiches or even other dishes like the smashed avocado on toast or eggs Benedict. I was however informed that all of those dishes were pre-assembled so couldn't make the substitutions and the only choices I had were the full english or full vegan. left without a choice, I half-heartedly went for full english and it wasn't anything special. I barely ate half of it. I left two stars because the service were kind and the mocktail I had was tasty.

Amazing place for Sunday brunch. Their all day breakfast was delicious. Even though we were sat at the bar, we got moved to a seated table pretty quickly, which was really wonderful. Definitely a brilliant place. Will be going again.

Came for Sunday brunch. Very cute place with seating outside, inside and also by the big open windows. Great menu, the food and coffee were delicious, and the service was wonderful! Will return!

Tasty small plates - a wide variety of tastes

Wonderful spot for cocktails and delicious food - I can't stop thinking about the prawn croquettes and gnocchi. Heaven. The staff are really friendly - shout out to Russell who makes a great martini. Perfect spot for a first date as the atmosphere is so lovely. And if you get stood up you can prop yourself up at the bar and enjoy your evening regardless!!!

Really delicious food at a very reasonable price. The staff all very friendly and helpful as well. Worth a visit!

Went for brunch and enjoyed sitting outside where we were kept dry despite the rain! The staff were really friendly. We all had the vegan breakfast option. We agreed that the vegan 'pattie' was absolutely delicious but the rest was quite standard and not that special. Delicious coffee and juice.

Great food with a creative menu! Love how there is something for everyone - whether you're a meat eating carnivore, a seafood fan or a vegan - there are delicious little plates for you! Service was also great! Only star down is because the outdoor space on the side of the pavement is a little cramped, the neighbouring table people would always end up bumping shoulders or bits of arm with you. The portions are also tiny - perfect for 2 girls but definitely will struggle if I went with the boyf. Also they do not take Amex! Which is always a bit of a let down for a London restaurant charging these prices.

Enjoy brunch today at Good Neighbour. Ordered the brisket benedict which was delicious. Poached eggs with smoky brisket works really well. Buttermilk pancakes were also tasty.

We were absolutely delighted with our first trip to Good Neighbour. Each dish we tried (8 between 2 of us) was well executed with exciting flavour combinations. Particular highlights were the burrata; the aubergine doughnuts and the cauliflower. The service was friendly and attentive and we were very well looked after and there was a lovely buzzy atmosphere. On the wine front we had a special black muscat with dessert which I’ll now look out for. Would be good to see a few more white wines by the glass on the menu next time as selection seemed a bit limited (though I appreciate the reasons for this for a new restaurant). Thanks for a great evening Good Neighbour team - a welcome addition to Peckham, we’ll be back soon!

Great small plates to share and exceptional service served with a tasty Good Neighbour G+T
