Environment: The Sky Pod is located in the center of the area near the elevators. Place your order at the counter and grab one of the tables or lounge chairs in the area. What was ordered: A pint of Heineken and an Aspall Mulled Cyder. It was my first time trying the mulled cyder and I thought it was pretty tasty. It was sweet, slightly warm with a tangy orange taste. There was also a slice of orange in it. Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The Heineken was pretty basic but the cyder was very interesting. The view was also nice but would have been even better if it wasn't gloomy and drizzly; too bad we can't control the weather! A staff member will come by to collect your glass as soon as it's empty. It did take a while to find an empty spot since a lot of people were just sitting around even if they weren't drinking. Other than that, it was a nice experience to have while enjoying the view and the Garden. Credit cards are accepted.

Come here for a nice date, a drunk or sober brunch, or for a good lunch or dinner. Prices are nice - we got out for two mains at £20 total. The service was fast for weekend brunch, and the food was so tasty. Stuffed French toast with bacon on top was the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and filling. I can only dream of learning to cook French toast that perfectly in my lifetime. The eggs benedict were standard - but in a good way. Very easy to make an overly rich sauce, a bad egg, a burnt bread or a poor filling and ruin it, but they didn't. Well done. Service was kind and fast - not sure why so many have complained. All o can come up with is that there are loads of very aggressive people in Vauxhall after a 12-hour stint at the clubs. Oh, and the chocolate muffin melted in my mouth. holy wow. Last thing - the chips are solid gold. Remind me of the old Burger King chips before they had to change them for health reasons. Worth your time, and won't cost you much money. Enjoy!!

Vauxhall is one of those up and coming areas with a new station being built nearby. However it…read morestill lacks decent restaurants in the area, most of them being quite quiet and empty. However with the introduction of Counter it added a bit of class to the area. It's also gluten friendly which was perfect for my gluten intolerant friend as they had at least a one dish on each each course that was gluten free. I loved the fact it was under the Vauxhall arches, rustic on the outside but had a really cool modern look inside. Seating were arranged as booths with the leather seats standing up high so you had a lot of privacy. The lady who served us all evening was amazingly friendly. My friend may have crossed a few lines with his jokes but she went along with it and kept us entertained and feeling comfortable. Excellent service. Food was a hit a hit and miss and I find it to be more for locals in the area who want a nicer place to hang out and catch up than to make travel arrangements here. We started our evening with a cocktail and we both enjoyed the Aperol breeze. It was citrusy yet sweet from the passion purée with a slight bitter note from the vodka and grapefruit . Nice for light drinkers like me who knows nothing about alcohol. Now the food we ordered included : French cheese platter It consisted of Brie, Camembert and silton served with a variety of crackers and baby gherkins. It was pretty average and the different coloured crackers were more novelty than for taste as they were all quite dry and hard. Mussels in a creamy white wine sauce. This was a starter dish. It was a shame the mussels were so small it couldn't benefit the lovely garlicky sauce. Luckily there was a nice toasted sourdough to mop it up with. Scallops I was really surprised how fresh and plump these scallops were. Also loving the combination of the sweet touch of butternut squash purée and crisps, not only enhancing the flavour but texture too. Chicken and Tarragon Terrine. Really nice herby flavours coming out from this terrine. The meat was juicy, tender and mixed well the nice contrast of textures from the other ingredients. The apricot chutney added a nice zing to it and brought it together with the given sourdough. Grilled tuna. For a main my friend ordered the tuna being gluten free. It had so much potential being cooked perfectly, still fleshy, flakey and juicy. Sadly the tuna was too salty for anyone to really enjoy which was a real shame. Cassoulet with confit duck This was also over seasoned, drowning in salt. It was the most disappointing dish of the evening yet sounded so nice on the menu. The flavour was very one noted and lacked depth. The duck itself was slightly over cooked too making it a bit dry and tough round the edges. Counter Burger I wouldn't have thought the most generic dish on the menu turned out to be the highlight dish out of the mains. Beautifully seasoned beef patty, very juicy and the bun managed to hold it all together. Cheese lovely and melted and the crispy bacon gave it extra flavour and depth. The fries were like 'Mcdonalds' fries and who's not to like it. Fried nac and cheese balls These were nice and crispy but wouldn't have been so memorable if it wasn't for the lovely Chipotle mayo sauce it came with which had a nice sweet smokiness to it. Lyonnaise Potato These were nice and cooked really well with onions, slightly crisp on the outside and fluffy in the inside. Oreo cheesecake It definitely sounds nicer than it really was with it being described to be accompanied with crispy milk. It did arrive with a small glass of 'chocolate' milk that looked more like chocolate than it tasted. The 'crispy' in the description was just some crumbs of the Oreos topped in. Hardly crispy. The cake itself was dense and the base dry and hard. A bit of a let down. Mississippi mud pie This was gigantic and very gluttonous. The cake was very dense and although quite generic, I did enjoy the vanilla cream frosting on top. The brownie pieces were a bit forgettable though and didn't need to be there. Passion fruit creme brûlée The gluten free dish in the section and probably the most enjoyable dessert out of the three. The flavours and consistency were very balanced, light, sweet, milky and creamy. I wouldn't mind having more of this. Counter did let us down a little bit but with its forever changing seasonal menu it does seem they have hope. There does seem to be creativity in the kitchen too and some potential seeing how well it succeeded in the starters. It's still a great place for drinks and a sociable environment. Until something better comes along to Vauxhall I would still give this place another shot if I'm in the area.

I think because it has charm. It's a proper old fashioned London boozer; old photos on the walls, a selection of ales, wooden floors, bar and furniture, frosted windows â" all that malarkey and a completely unpretentious feel. Everyone likes it, which is evident from the mixed bag of people you get inside which only adds to its appeal. Unlike some of my friends who cannot fault the place, my problem is the lighting; I think it's too bright and wish they'd just unscrew a few of the bar lights to make it more inviting and true to its namesake. I am also disappointed by the prices which seem to be rising slowly but surely. This is not a cheap option despite its looks. Summer nights are best the Hermits when the punters spill out onto the pavements, but equally a winter evening is great, curled up inside with one of the many warm beverages on offer - a hot toddy or mulled wine is always best in an old-fashioned pub. Word of warning: If you order a Brothers cider, there is a festival and normal version and the festival one is about 4% stronger!

I'd meant to try this for ages, and it was absolutely delicious. I'm sure I've had Westons before, but for some reason this one tasted almost exactly like balsamic vinegar (which I love, but was slightly unexpected). It's a nice, airy pub with plenty of big cosy tables and places to squash into, but if I were going out, I'd still make a beeline to somewhere like the Stormbird or the Tiger first.
