About this restaurant

Innovative
Neighbourhood gem
Romantic

Welcome to SW16 Bar & Kitchen! It is our absolute pride and joy to have our little place on Streatham Hill. We opened up three years ago and we’ve been serving you wonderful lot ever since. We aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel here, we just want to offer everybody a space where you can feel utterly at home, accompanied by simple, seasonal dishes that reflect our Executive Chef Antonio’s Puglian home.

We’ve set it as our mission to really show you what hospitality can really mean. Generosity, warmth and kindness is at our core and I hope you can come in and feel at ease with us. I’m the one out front, pouring you wine or making you a cocktail and hopefully petting a dog or two. I really do intend to have a natter with each and every one of you so be prepared! We’ve got plenty going on, with regularly changing menus to keep things exciting but that core will remain the same throughout. I can’t wait to see you all.

2nd time visiting. 1st was just for drinks all really good! Went for the roast on Sunday good was great however be prepared to ask for the same thing more than twice and to be forgotten unless you stare and wave your arms around. The only time you won’t need to do it is when the guy comes to collect payment he’ll appear at your table with the card machine. With that said the ambience is nice great place to catch up with friends.

The service wasn’t great and slightly slow, the food portions were small and not everything on the menu taste good, like the crab ravioli. Ambience was nice as the place overall was good for catching up with friends and to have a drink, the cocktails were good and everyone likes a happy hour 241 deal I think it was before 7pm on a weekday.

Great Friday evening at SW16. The food was delicious and a great cocktail (I’d recommend the Paper Plane) and wine selection. Front of House staff were smiley and chatty and our waitress gave really great service. Definitely great to have a local neighbourhood restaurant that is this good. We will be back!

Lovely looking pace, great decor, stylish interior. Food was fine, but portions were pretty stingy for the price. Service was friendly, but a little confused (one member of staff, who'd advised us that yes, they do have GF bread, then said that, actually, they'd run out); the chef then emerged with already-ordered GF meal, and confirmed that is was definitely GF.

The Best Restaurants in London
Dining in the British capital holds no bounds when it comes to what type of cuisine is offered, budget, or atmosphere people are looking for. From food trucks to fine dining, London offers an almost limitless amount of options, and different neighborhoods in the city offer their own local flair and culinary experiences. With so much to offer, London’s restaurant scene is better to navigate by neighborhood. From the best in fine dining in the Marylebone neighborhood to the culturally celebrated Brixton. People can choose from outdoor cafes for long afternoon brunches, upscale Michelin star restaurants for special nights, or, when craving a truly unique culinary experience, dog-friendly food truck parks and small family-owned pubs and restaurants.
