Regulary come here with the lads after work. We went looking around for a decent Shisha place for awhile and came across Roots. It's a fair journey for us to come here, however it is definitely worth the journey. Staff are extremely helpful and are always eager to make your stay as pleasant as it possibly can be. Music is good and the atmosphere is excellent as well. We will continue to come here as we have found the perfect Shisha place for us. Would 100% reccomend this place to anyone that may be curious about coming here.

Shisha is brilliant as always! The owners have changed but are truely the best. Best shisha I have had. Every time the shisha is on point! And the staff are friendly and great customer service. Highly recommend. Great atmosphere and always a great place to chill by 1, 2 or a group. Has many areas of entertainment from music videos to footy matches to board & games. Lively on the weekend (Fridays & Saturdays) but truely a brilliant lounge to relax and enjoy the night. And food is pretty decent if I may so myself. Come to Roots for a great sesh, date nights or even a group event. Each flavour is awesome, smooth & refreshing. Truely the best shisha around, this place is vibe! Keep up the grand work Roots Team!

Edit 1: i have to been to this place few times after I gave this place 1 star. I have been taken care of very well and am now changing the review from 1 star to 5 stars. Please remain the same. Thank you. Worst experience with staff today. The lounge was empty with only our table and none else. When ordered fries, the gentleman asked me to order now whatever else I want to have as he might get busy with other customers which might come anytime or get busy with "making his own shisha". Anyhow, fries came after around 20 minutes. Then we asked for coal to be changed, which usually is changed within seconds to minutes at any shisha bar, but after chasing him in the kitchen thrice to change the same, he changed coals after around 20 minutes. When voiced that we are not liking the service, he said he was busy making his own shisha, why should we have fun only he should have too. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Busy Brewing Coffee

Jake brews really good coffee, I would rate as one of the best in London let alone shooters hill. His baked goods are next level good as well. Get there early to snag a cinnamon bun, they are the best in london, period.

We’ve been waiting for a good coffee spot around here for a long time and Jake is just the guy to bring it!! Friendly chatty dude! Coffee is banging and the food is lush!! Definitely recommend popping by and grabbing a cuppa!!

Try this coffee, it’s so good! First found Busy Brewing whilst in Charlton Park at the Skate festival and enjoyed an Oat Milk Latte, so really loved finding them outside the Herbert the other day and finding out they’re going to be there permanently. Now I know where to go for great coffee all the time!

A welcome addition to the Herbert Road area that has been crying out for a decent cup of coffee and is conveniently positioned outside the Lord Herbert pub so you can't miss it. The lovely Jake makes a fabulous latte and is very knowledgeable about his products, so great coffee and very reasonably priced too for the quality. The pastries are divine (especially the choc croissant) but be sure to get there early, as they sell out quickly. A real asset to SE18 🙂

So good to have another coffee spot in the area. Delicious coffee, super friendly service and plenty of places to sit and enjoy a brew in the sunshine. Congratulations to Jake on his great new business.

House of Denna is the heart of the RA community for many people, including me. There's a wide range of events and workshops to choose from. Something for everyone. The food and coffee are great. Especially the cookies and the seasonal lattes. Love that it’s doggy friendly too.

My friend and I did the silver ring workshop and it was so much fun. Denna is a brilliant tutor and made the class super fun and easy to follow. The coffee and pastries were yummy too. Great place that I’ll be going back to to see what other creative classes are on offer!

Went in for a workshop and they went above and beyond to make us comfortable and they were so friendly. They seemed to really be enjoying themselves as well which made the whole experience that much better. It was an intimate group of people doing the workshop which made it feel special. Me and my partner made our wedding rings and we are thinking of going back with family and friends so they can have a great experience also. Highly recommended.

I recently visited House of Denna and had an amazing experience that I just have to share! The cozy ambiance and delicious menu caught my attention. From the moment I walked in, the environment was warm and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly attentive. The service went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, from recommending the perfect coffee and pastry to checking in on how I was enjoying my meal. The friendly attitude and genuine care for customers made a huge difference in my experience. If you're looking for a local spot with great food, a lovely atmosphere, and fantastic service, especially if you are lucky to be looked after by Keira, then House of Denna is the place to be! I can’t wait to come back.

If you are, at Bankside or the Royal Arsenal, don't miss Chealsons Coffee! Friendly and wonderful staff and service. When I first tasted their hot chocolate, it was absolutely mind-blowing. Made me keep coming back. I'm not sure what the team do to the drink(s) but it feels like they pour their love and soul into making of their product. Would definitely recommend it.

This place is a hidden gem of Woolwich. It’s nice and clean, many good options for food on the menu, and the prices are very affordable! The cafe offers freshly squeezed orange juice which is really good! I have to say that the owner is a remarkable person, he made an act of kindness towards me which was much appreciated!

The staff are lovely here and on hand to help. The food came in a good time. The food portions are large. The mac and cheese and jacket potato came with a nice side salad. The chicken sandwich was plain with butter,some salad would have been great. The toilet was not so good, it was smelly and wet on the floor. Overall nice cafe with quick service and friendly staff.

Busy local cafe. Large place with a lot of seats and a big menu. Staff are friendly but service is chaotic. The meals are huge portions and taste pretty decent for the low prices. The chicken curry was good and surprisingly hot but that’s what I like so no problems there. Main courses and drinks for two came to £25. Would happily return if hungry because it certainly fills a hole.

Good atmosphere, there were games available for you to play while you were waiting for food or just to have a fun evening. They have a good selection of craft beer to choose from. The cocktail options were quite limited. The wing portion size was quite generous. We opted to go for the carne pizza, the base felt quite weak in my opinion but the pizza overall was quite delicious.

SALT is my favourite bar in the Royal Arsenal, and there are quite a few of them in the area. It’s not the cheapest place to go, but you will enjoy a wide selection of beers, including Salt’s own selection and a frequently changing rotation of guest beers, all of which a re unique and very tasty indeed (they will let you try before you buy, obviously). The food menu is pizza-based with snacky stuff and lots of choice. Although they fall slightly short of other stonebaked options available in town, the pizzas are really, really good for a pub; I personally recommend the Carne or the N’duja. All the food is delicious; I have tried most of the menu and have never been disappointed. The downstairs bar is quite small with very limited seating, and gets very busy in the evenings. There is a larger upstairs seating area (accessible only by stairs) where you can usually grab a table, and in the summer, there is an extensive terrace that is a glorious sun trap. Be aware that you cannot book unless it’s for larger events. There is also a toilet on site. A fantastic local craft beer bar and pizza restaurant; in short, it’s got everything you need, friendly staff and a wonderful location, both for residents of the Arsenal and for visitors to the area, being only a few minutes’ walk from Woolwich Station (Elizabeth Line), ten minutes from the DLR and train station, and very close to the bus stops on Plumstead Road (A206).

First visit for my son and I- recommended for breakfast by my mechanic who works nearby while my son's car was being serviced. Assumed it would be a local greasy spoon but was pleasantly surprised by the interior, with reclaimed wooden tables and wall mirrors. A large ceramic cupcake on the windowsill caught my eye and brought back memories as my daughter, now a mum of three, used to have a smaller version as a child in her bedroom! Excellent full English. Nice people. Recommended.

Great food and good prices. Was expecting a greasy spoon but this is definitely not that. Choice of well made burgers, spaghetti, pork loin, sausage and mash, roast in a bap as well as healthier fare. Good, friendly service. Paid £12.50 for a burger, chips and a decent Americano. Would definitely go again.
