The Red Pepper Restaurant - London

After booking a table for 8 pm, we were given a table by the door which we asked to move from and a diner, who was finishing said why not have my table… the manger would not have it and said we had a choice either the basement or the original table by the door … why we couldn’t have the table the gentleman was leaving from was a mystery and the manager man asked us to leave … it was a horrid experience and the little man who said he was the manger and called himself Ron was less than polite… he was rude and we felt intimidated by his rhetoric and we left… I want to make all aware of this vile experience, so no one has to share such a ghastly experience!! Also I’ve frequented the place many times and never been treated in such an awful manner!! I advise all one and all to find somewhere else to eat!!!

My wife and I stayed at the Colonnade Hotel and decided to dine at the restaurant next door on June 24th, 2023. Unfortunately, we were met with a very unfriendly and aggressive server. After waiting 15 minutes, he refused to serve us when we only ordered a pizza and salad, claiming that we needed to order for two people according to the restaurant policy. When I asked to see the policy, he had nothing in writing to show me. I then requested to speak to the owner, to which he replied that he was the owner. When I asked about a website, he claimed they didn't have one. Not only did he lie about the website, but without a written policy, it's unacceptable to deny service. This short, round-faced man's behavior was completely disrespectful. As a seasoned global traveler of 45 years, I have never experienced such rudeness. I hope appropriate action is taken against him.

My partner, our young child, and I went to have a late lunch at this restaurant. It was completely empty when we arrived. The staff were very impolite and unpleasant. They didn't have a kids menu, and required us to order a main dish for each person, which we found to be unacceptable. The atmosphere was unwelcoming as soon as we walked in. I strongly advise against dining here. The owners seem to be only concerned with making money.

This neighborhood restaurant is the perfect spot for a casual family dinner that is budget-friendly.

I booked a table on line with The Red Pepper. I received a confirmation from the restaurant also another from Google. On the day of the booking I received a reminder from the restaurant which I confirmed. However when we arrived I was told I didn’t have a booking although it was clearly on my phone. There was no apology or any attempt to resolve the problem. When I asked ‘ So does this mean we won’t be getting dinner then?’the waitress said’Yes’ I’ve been to this restaurant many times over the years and never had such a terrible experience. From what I’ve read in other reviews I’m not even sure there’s any point ringing the manager (who apparently wasn’t in on a Friday night) as he sounds rude as well. What a shame!!
