"I had a very bizarre and odd experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was empty and cold, with sterile and basic décor. Despite my sister 's praises about the food being well-priced, I found it to be average at best. The prawn starter was basic and the corn-fed chicken with chips was nothing to write home about. The seasoning was sharp and left a strange sensation in my mouth. However, the saving grace of the night was our waitress, Bruna. She was friendly, attentive, and truly the life of the restaurant. Despite the lack of customers, she made us feel welcome and took great care of us. We ended up staying longer than planned, enjoying multiple jugs of sangria and other drinks. To my shock and disappointment, I later found out that Bruna had been fired for talking too much. This decision seemed unjust and heartless, especially considering she was the only staff member who seemed to care about the guests. The restaurant lacked any music or atmosphere, making it a depressing place to dine. I can 't help but feel that there were racist undertones at play here, as the restaurant seemed to be trying to cater to a specific audience. Treating a young, hardworking employee like Bruna in such a manner is unacceptable. It 's clear that this establishment is not a fine dining restaurant, even though they are obviously straining to be and I am horrified by the way they treated someone who went above and beyond to make our night enjoyable. Shame on them for ruining what could have been a pleasant experience and be warned they obviously have no respect or care about their staff."

"I recently visited The Earl Ferrers and was completely taken by the charm and warmth of this delightful pub. What sets this place apart is not just the cozy atmosphere or the excellent selection of drinks, but the heart and soul poured into it by Duncan, the friendly landlord. From the moment you walk in, Duncan makes you feel like you're part of the family, greeting guests with a smile that's as genuine as it is welcoming. The pub itself exudes a traditional vibe, with a comfortable and inviting interior that makes you want to settle in for the evening. Whether you're there for a quiet pint or to enjoy the lively atmosphere on a busy night, The Earl Ferrers caters to all. The selection of beers, ales, and spirits is thoughtfully curated, ensuring there's something for everyone's taste. Moreover, the food is a delightful surprise, far surpassing your typical pub fare, with each dish prepared to perfection and presented with care. But, it's the personal touch from Duncan that truly makes every visit memorable. His knack for remembering names and faces, along with his willingness to go the extra mile to ensure his guests have a great time, is commendable. Whether offering recommendations from the bar or sharing a story, Duncan's hospitality is unmatched. The Earl Ferrers is more than just a pub; it's a community hub where friends meet, families gather, and newcomers are welcomed with open arms. Thanks to Duncan and his team, this pub stands out as a beacon of friendliness and quality in Streatham. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone looking for a genuine pub experience where they're treated not just as customers, but as friends."

"As a vegetarian I was really excited about visiting this place due to the rave reviews. My friend and I arrived just as the first sitting were leaving and straight away we were concerned by the utterly overpowering smell of the food as the door opened and how all the restaurant windows were absolutely pouring with condensation. It reminded me of being a student when we couldn’t afford to put the heating on! It was quite disgusting. There is clearly a ventilation issue in the kitchen and/or restaurant area. Although I love cauliflower (one of the dishes on offer that night , I don’t want the smell of it cooking (mixed with all the other veggie food to completely permeate my hair and every item of clothing I was wearing (all had to be washed as soon as I got home, coat included! The food was fine ironically I ordered the cauliflower dish but it was a little uncooked and a bit tough. Unfortunately as well as the damp fug, we had to shout to talk to each other due to a table of 10 women who were shrieking non stop as they enjoyed a pre Xmas get together. The restaurant is small and I know the owners can’t control the noise level but it was honestly unbearable. When they got their vuvuzelas out it was the final straw and we left within an hour of arriving! It’s given my friend and I a funny story talk about as the scenario makes me laugh now but at the time it really ruined our lovely catch up that we’d had planned. Def won’t be returning or recommending."
