Even having booked the Churchill Room for us to get together, there was no food available. Although food did appear and disappear through side doors (to the dungeons? to delivery people?? who knows). Service at the bar is very willing, but also really slow. It's a lovely building with a great outdoor frontage but it's really chaotic otherwise. Tolerant, but chaotic

Just had to share. Witnessed an employee called Nick give some of the best customer service. He was personable and kind and then,apologitic for a simple mistake which he rectified with a round on the house. Perfect example of a great server and good food and drink to go with it!

My friend and I came here for some post-work drinks. The atmosphere is welcoming and vibrant, in fact, I would possibly refer to it as an unofficial queer/gay bar in Brixton. With a Pride flag flying high and a Pint that donates to queer charities it certainly screams welcome at all angles. I helped myself to their margaritas, both normal and strawberry which were on point. I did not try the food but my eyes wandered when plates went past me and it certainly looked delicious. There is both an indoor and outdoor space which offers ample choice of ambience. I cannot give a strong opinion on the inside but my visits to the bar were greeted with lovely staff and a live band so I can't complain. An overall wonderful experience and would recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Great Sunday roast experience, very tasty and the staff were super accommodating when I asked for my beef to be cooked pink, and even got me a fresh plate when the first one came out well done. The last roast booking is 6 pm, so it's a nice option if you want something a bit later than the mid-afternoon cutoff I usually see in this area.

Nice place to chill with extensive outside area and large and small bars. Large hall used for functions and events.Food is good although the menu is limited. Good selection of beers and spirits.Average prices

We had a table booking for this afternoon, hoping for a Sunday roast.We were told food orders weren’t being taken for 20 minutes, which is fine. But then it turned into around an hour of waiting to be allowed to order food.We ended up leaving which was devastating as we had heard very nice things after moving nearby!

Nice outdoor area, sadly no front of house presence. Walked into an empty establishment, nice selection of beer and friendly staff. Back outside and dirty plates left on table, homeless man walked in asking for money and checking ashtraysDisappointing midweek experienceDidn’t have food but menu looked great

It makes me feel uncomfortable to type reviews that aren't glowing but I do also believe that reviews should be honest.I'm a big fan of The Effra, the staff are absolutely lovely, drinks are always good and a reasonable price but it's the food service that's letting it down.For the second time running my friend and I headed to The Effra for a Sunday roast. After 40 minutes I chased it up only to be told the chef had forgotten and now there wasn't anything left.So we left; we had a refund for the food not the wine and departed hungry, annoyed and a bit tipsy.We waited almost an hour last time before chasing it, being told it was on the way but we cancelled as it had taken too long.I'll still go to The Effra but for drinks only.

Arrived for a booked table to eat. We were told they weren't taking orders for food on account of a very large party that had just ordered. That's fair enough and we were told they would be taking orders again in 20 minutes, so we ordered drinks and waited 20 minutes only to be told they still weren't taking orders for food but they would be in 15 more minutes. Again we waited 15 minutes and surprise surprise were told to wait another 15 minutes. At this point we left. Being unable to provide a service to booked guests is bad enough but then stringing them along for an hour is unacceptable. If they'd have just been honest about the situation in the kitchen from the start and apologised for the inconvenience it would have been a lot quicker and easier for us to have simply made an informed decision as to whether to stay and wait or eat somewhere else.
