Perfect place if you want to eat breakfast prepared with passion. Guys working here are very helpful and polite. They really care about customer, place is clean, food fresh and well prepared. Notice those chips. Believe me or not but I’ve never ate better than those. Elsewhere in UK chips taste as sh (except one other place in Ewel) but NOT IN THIS PLACE. They are really fresh!

Very nice food, I would highly recommend this Cafe. The portion size was probably the best I've had not just in London but the South East. If your after a proper full English this is the spot. Thanks Legend

I am very scared of traditional cafes as they always serve cheap ingredient greasy food. But this one hit the spot - thick bacon, good portions and fresh from the griddle. We were allowed to bring our dog inside too! Definitely recommend :)

Portions were really generous, and the food was cooked really well. Nice and simple menu, plenty of options, everything you want from you local cafe. They had a high chair for our little one and the staff are really friendly. Would definitely recommend, and we will be back soon. We had the sunrise breakfast and the cod and chips for brunch.

PJ Electrics London

I called Sean from PJ electrics recently and he was polite and courteous and offered to provide a free quote. Ryan came along and confirmed the job. Ryan and John were prompt, polite and respectful - I even handed them the keys so they could let themselves in/out. The work was speedy, done to an excellent standard and they left my shed spotless! I am 100% pleased with this work - you should try this company - they have “good old-fashioned” values (well mannered, great work ethic and polite) you won’t be disappointed!

We were let down last minute by our previous Electrician, fortunately I came across PJ electrics & Kev by a family referral. They came to site on an agreed date & time, quoted with a quick turn around and have been professional from start to finish. Will 100% be using them from now on & if you are reading these reviews then you have no reason to look any further! Thanks guys

Excellent, reliable and dependable team. Can always rely on PJ Electrics to do a good and professional job to a high standard and at a competitive rate. Particular thanks to Ryan George for carrying out our electrical survey and providing sound advice ahead of a flat refurbishment.

Being a property manager for a local estate agent, that covers London and Surrey, I am always in need of good contractors, and P J Electrics have never disappointed. They are reliable, efficient, and great at communicating all aspects of their work. I have had nothing but positive feedback from both our landlords and tenants. Kevin has been great to deal with, and I now wont use any other electricians for all our rental properties.

Excellent service, reliable, fair, and a great quality of workmanship with an attention to detail - I would definitely recommend PJ Electrics London (I dealt with Sean the Ops Director & Ryan the Engineer)

Finally found good Pasticciotto outside of Puglia. Coffee is typical Italian style espresso but it’s the pastries that make the place.

We had the most delicious birthday meal here. The food is a mixture of Spanish tapas and Mediterranean meze dishes. The highlights were the borek and the calamari but everything we ordered was excellent. The staff was just as amazing as the food. Serhat was friendly and attentive and added to the experience. I would 100% recommend Betto. We will definitely be back.

TURKISH BREAKFAST We had the best breakfast in terms of the taste and the service. Menemen (scrambled eggs with mashed tomato) was amazing! The service is also great that they were really kind/friendly; and hospitality was what you’d expect from a Turkish place! Price reasonable: main dish ~11 per person. With drinks & desert ~22 pp.

EV Domestic

Fitzgerald House, London SW17 0GL, UK

5.0 (494 reviews)

P: 0330 100 5412

Great service !!!! These guys are brilliant , the engineer (Nick) arrived on schedule and went out of his way to cater for our needs rather than the easiest installation. He made sure that we understood everything and the app was set up and working before he left. Very friendly and didn’t complain about all of my novice questions. EV Domestic’s customer service department are amazing , we had a minor issue with our Ohme Home Pro charger , which wasn’t any fault of EVD’s and still they came out and fixed it without any quibbles. The customer service team again kept us informed every step of the way and went beyond the call of duty to find a solution to our problem. If EVD made guitar amplifiers the theirs would go up to 11 (Extra Points for anyone who gets that reference).😎😎 If you are thinking about getting an EV charger then look no further than EVD , in my humble opinion ; EV Domestic are second to none. Anyway , great job EVD , customer satisfaction 11/10. 👍👍 Excellent in every way.

Very easy company to deal with. From initial booking through to the installation everything went very smoothly. We were kept well informed about how the installation was progressing. Dom our engineer was very professional and explained everything clearly. A very neat job and left the property clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend.

EV Domestic were very friendly, supportive & very helpful & advised me on my best option of EV charger. The whole process was pain free & the installation was really great too, everyone was thinking about making their customer happy & I was very impressed with the whole experience. This is very rare nowadays believe me, I highly rate this company. Thank you so much for all your kind help & support. 😊

Nick at EV Domestic fitted my EV charger. He was very professional and despite encountering a few problems he kept me informed and got the job done. He was very neat and cleared up the minimal mess himself. Very professional team who I would not hesitate to recommend

After researching home EV chargers, I decided to select my own charger and get it professionally installed. EV Domestic were selected as they were attractive, appeared knowledgeable without being pushy, and pricing was attractive. Their engineer was a delight and whilst I realised the power would need to be off for part of the installation, he kept this to the end and it was off for less that 5 minutes! Then a tutorial on the unit, and was available for questions by phone if I had any issues over the first few days. Genuinely great service and I would happily recommend them.

Lovely cafe! I’ve been in many times, often as a tired mum with a newborn who needed a friendly face and a good slice of vegan chocolate cake as well as more recently with my older children for bouncy castle week, it’s such a welcoming family space

Wonderful place to go out on a cold or rainy day with your children. There is a play corner for them. You can really enjoy a drink by just keeping an eye on your busy playing children. Great place to catch up with other mums/ nannies during the opening hours. Very airy and bright café inside the church.

Every time I go into Parish Café is a lovely experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to unwind from the busy outside world. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the food is fresh and tasty. There's a good variety on the menu for small place, whether you're looking for a meal or just a quick snack. It's a nice place to relax and somewhere that keeps on pulling you back!

So this was a last minute decision for my partner’s birthday.. and we are so glad we went here. Highly recommended!!! Food was delicious, prepared fresh, affordable and tasted incredible. Drinks were amazing too. We could not recommend this restaurant enough. The chef and the lady serving us (sorry forgot her name) were super lovely!!! They even surprised my partner with a free dessert for his birthday. This was such a nice touch. We are definitely coming back and we are bringing family and friends with us! Can’t wait to visit again! Thank you for such a lovely evening. You made his birthday extra special!

Highly recommend! We visited this place for breakfast. At first, we were a bit unsure since it was empty, but in the end, we were so happy we came! This place is absolutely amazing: the Christmas decorations made it feel very cozy and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious – we shared a portion of the English breakfast, and I will never forget those hash browns. The orange juice was freshly pressed. Even though we didn’t order much, we felt completely comfortable and never judged by the staff. At the end of our meal, we even had the chance to meet the chef, who was such a kind and friendly person!

What a lovely restaurant! I’ve often walked past and finally decided to go for dinner. The staff were very friendly and food fresh and tasty. It was my birthday so the chef gave me a complimentary desert which was very kind. I had the sea bass and my partner the aubergine moussaka. We’d recommend both. It wasn’t very busy which was surprising given the restaurant is a real asset to the Balham food scene.

Was looking for brunch spots in Balham and came across blue fig, hadn’t really heard of it hence giving it a try. When we arrived we were seated promptly as it wasn’t massively busy, the waitress attending was very friendly and attentive, the menu was decent unfortunately a few things we wanted to order were not available. The food itself was reasonable the frittatas were particularly nice. It’s a decent spot to visit, the lack of items available let it down a bit.

Travelled up from Wales and booked last minute. Absolutely fabulously tasty food and we'd definitely return. Service was timely and friendly and the chef popped out too to say hello. Such a cute place, loved everything about it - including just a few paces from Balham tube station.

Me and my friends had about 3 hotdogs and an Arepa between us. The Hotdogs are insanely good, lots of flavour and good value. Would recommend out of all the food options in One Love: Balham

I’d like to think I’m quite well versed in street food. I’ve tried food from all over the world and had arepas many times before. None have even come close to how good these were. I had the Beef - Pelua. From start to finish everything about this arepa was incredible. The bread, the sauce, the meat was cooked perfectly and the accompanying sauces were rich but not overpowering. The cheese inside was melted perfectly and I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. Nothing but praise for the food they serve. Thank you.
