Scoffers Kitchen - London

Disappointing. Mediocre. This longstanding local spot in Battersea falls short of expectations. The restaurant could use some improvements. The service was impersonal and the food was average at best. My supposed crayfish croquette starter turned out to basically be a lukewarm and dry chicken McNugget. Others in my party also found their starters to be lackluster. The main courses were no better, with the chorizo chicken lacking flavor. Dessert options like the banoffee pie and chocolate brownie were below par. Overall, the experience was not impressive.

I went to this restaurant for breakfast. I ordered the pancakes and my friend had an avocado and egg sandwich. The food was delicious, but there was a mix-up with the sandwich orders which took some time to resolve. In the end, they did not charge us for the sandwich, which was a very polite gesture.

That was under average. I was very disappointed that the boils were boiled under the boiled meat, and quite possibly the most disgusting coffee I ever tasted, I could not even finish it. I was initially excited to try this place, but I won't come back.

This quaint small restaurant is located just off the street of Clapham Junction, with a large tree serving as a focal point in the center of the dining room. We visited for Sunday brunch and found the place filled up quickly, likely due to overflow from the popular breakfast club across the street. The food was average for Clapham brunches, with a somewhat strange menu. For example, the eggs benedict came with speck, toast, and chips, which was a bit unusual. I may explore other options before returning, but I wouldn't turn down the avocado toast if offered again.

Despite the slightly off-putting name I've been to Scoffers a few times for breakfast or brunch.
