    My favorite place ever for breakfast brunch lunch... The staff is super friendly. The food is yummy. And the atmosphere is super cool! It's definitively my local hang out! Love it there.

    His Nibbs is delighted by this charming establishment. Their special coffee blend is rich and deep, and they always accommodate his request for a side order of hollandaise to go with his big Big Ben.

    One of my favourite local places. Really relaxed, lovely food menu (though I still miss the chicken wings). Occasionally have had to wait AGES for food at peak times though.

    Yummy brekkie/brunch....its animal friendly as well if you need that sort of place. Meals served on old school enamel styled plates. Friendly staff, enjoyable and reasonably priced.

    Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Had the charred flatbread with beetroot hummus & pickles for brunch. Quite good, but left thinking it was a bit average/overpriced. The place itself is lovely though!

    The best veggie (easily converted to vegan) burgers ever! Gin and tonics and amazing. Great service and lovely decor. Well worth checking out!

    Queues are mental on the weekend and although the service can be slow, they have free wi-fi, great coffee and a delicious selection of all-day brunch. Lush.

    Expensive cafe, but tasty and perfectly cooked. Save room for the peanut butter brownie! Service is a bit aloof but I'll be back to try the burgers, they looked great.

    All burgers are £7 on Sundays (except the Salad Dodger). Go for the BC burger - voted one of the Top 10 in London!

    I had the smashed avocado on sourdough with roasted vine tomatoes. Next time I'm getting the pulled pork Benedict eggs.

    Definitely recommend the chicken burger and avocado side. Blueberry, banana papaya smoothie tasted like cheesecake. Great service to top it off!

    Brunch... But get here early to avoid the queues. 90 minute turn around time at weekends.

    Brunch. Pancakes, sweet potato fries and the fritters. And the smoothies. Most of the menu really

    Not only have they managed to produce the best burger South of the river but they also put a steak on top. What's not to like?

    They big up the burger and it is pretty decent. Flat White tasted more like a poor cappuccino. At least it was free w/ 4sq. Really good relaxed brunch vibe especially when sunny and the doors are open

    Pulled Pork bap: hugely messy, but massively worth it. Delicious. This place is bloody great.

    Try the homemade Ginger Beer if you like to taste real ginger. Served from a sweet little bottle icy cold!

    Try the Naugh-tea (whisky and lapsang tea) ice cream via Gelupo, a flavour exclusive to Ben's Canteen.

    Don't believe the burger hype. Far from the best burger by a mile.

    The food is great; however, the service isn't up to scratch. Quite a long wait, unfriendly staff and the front door should be closed when it's 10 degrees outside!

    Another place that I don't understand what all the fuss is about. The Bloody Mary is good but that's it. Can also be very noisy during brunch.

    Don't go on a Sunday morning. You will have to wait for at least one hour for a burger you can easily find elsewhere in clapham.

    Service is below average as they don't write down orders and end up forgetting items. so keep your expectations low. Food is good and the vibe is relaxed. professional service plz
