Coal Rooms

All dishes were superbly prepared, subtle flavours that go well together, not overpowering each other and not oversalted as in many restaurants these days. Overall very interesting combination of ingredients. It's a relatively small menu but every dish is cooked to perfection. Dining room is small but cosy, nice for an evening with a friend where you can have a conversation.

A really great space just next to the station, love the open kitchen too. The food was great though be careful on some portions, one side was easily enough for 4 people! I'd say its a great place to go as a 4+ group though we had a lovely meal just the two of us but we were so full didnt have room for pud!

Great location underneath Peckham Rye station. It has a minimalist but warm and inviting atmosphere. We were in the back room which was softly lit. We came here for dinner and the food was very good although the smoky charred flavour didn’t come through as strongly on the pork and steak as you might expect. The desserts are a delight, the open sandwich with the rhubarb and meringue shards was delicious. The restroom is in keeping with the railway station style but in a much more modern way. The service was excellent, the staff were very attentive and friendly.

I had previously visited Coal Rooms for a great coffee in the morning on a few occasions. I visited again recently for dinner with a friend and was blown away. The kitchen is on show and you can see the grill smoking all sorts of delights as you are seated. The menu was fantastic from start to finish, and I particularly enjoyed the lack of choice — just a set menu with dishes you will absolutely enjoy. Service was fantastic from start to finish, with each server going out of their way to ensure we had a memorable evening. They even brought us a drink on the house at the end of the evening. The architecture and history of the building itself is also magnificent. I’d recommend a visit to the restrooms to see the history of the building — I assume they are relatively unchanged from when this space was part of the wider Peckham station building. A really fantastic spot for coffee, for brunch, or for a special dinner in the heart of Peckham.

What a lovely restaurant. The Coal Rooms is full of atmosphere and the staff are extremely friendly and attentive. I could not fault the service received at our table, especially Ben. He is certainly a wonderful asset to this lovely place. I loved walking in and seeing the chefs working and they had and took the time to welcome us, whilst obviously busy working. I loved so many choices and the fact you could share courses so you had the chance to try so many different tastes and new adventures with food. I recommend this restaurant highly. The food was amazing, I love fine dining and exploring and experiencing new restaurants. This place is up there with the best. We'll done chefs!!!!!!!with these guys working there definitely a place to revisit I will definitely be back.
