My colleague…read morebooked us into Mabel's for their Christmas Dinner and she had been handling the booking, until she left the company. After her last day, the sales and reservations team contacted me and were so helpful in explaining what had been done up to this point and asked if I needed any help or anything extra adding to the booking. They were very flexible with us and all the staff I dealt with were very friendly and helpful. They made things quite easy by using an online system and allowing us to pay online as well. Not everyone signed up for the Christmas Dinner so they allowed us to apply the rest of the money to drinks. When I arrived, the staff were very helpful in getting us seated, although the one thing we weren't expecting was to be carded at the door. Fortunately the students brought their IDs, but it is something I will note for future bookings. They set up the 'library' area at the back of the restaurant for us and it couldn't have been more perfect. There was another Christmas party next to us and a bar in the area that way we didn't have to run in and out of the room to get drinks. Before everyone arrived, the staff introduced themselves and we talked through some of the logistics and even though I had brought little name cards with everyone's orders... they also had name cards and Christmas Crackers :) . The table was beautifully set and the students were really impressed. When one of the students arrived, they told me that after they had placed their pre-order they became vegan... everything they ordered was meat-based. So I had a talk with the staff, not expecting them to be able to change much, but they were able to cater for them. Because the staff were quite busy in delivering food and removing dishes, we asked the students to go to the bar, give them our tab number, and order their drinks there. It worked quite well although it space for the staff to get through was limited. The food was delicious! We had a couple of spare dishes because some of the students didn't turn up, and I was worried about food waste, but the students enjoyed the food so much they ate the spare starters, mains, and desserts! Everything that came out looked so good. I had the slow-cooked beef with gravy and veg... it was so tender and delicious. I think the only dish that the students didn't enjoy as much was the Christmas Pudding with Brandy Sauce. Many of them aren't familiar Christmas Pudding, so I think it was a bit of a surprise for them. However, they were able to share the spare desserts. What was left of our tab we applied to the service charge. Overall, we had such a lovely time... the atmosphere, the detail, the staff, and the food were all excellent and I hope we can book our group in again!

The decor looks old and bad, it looks like some old british women's basement. We arrived at the restaurant, they seated us at the table, we placed our order. The waiter came back and said they ran out of alcohol. We had to order something else. We got our main dish, ask for salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. They didn't have Parmesan cheese or salt! We ask for the check, our waiter comes over with the check and tells us their credit card machine is not working! We have no pounds on us. They told us to walk 5 blocks in the dark at night in a strange neighbor to get cash. They should have told us their machine was broken before they sat us down. My friend got lost, didn't find the atm and came back. We ask if we can pay by US dollars? PayPal? Venmo? Zelle? Apple Pay?They said no and Insist on pounds or bank account transfer. They would not let us leave or pay in other means. They were holding us hostage! After god knows how long, one of the waiters agree to walk my friend to the atm to get pounds. What a nightmare!!!

Wish I'd been able to enjoy a meal on the first floor of the restaurant because it was lovely there. Maybe next trip. I meandered up to the rooftop which was well lit and warmed by large heaters.

Between the table of 4 who were next to me for 2hrs+ & 1 man sat opposite me who was there for…read more1.5hrs+, they chose to ask me to leave whilst I was waiting for my friend. You're better off going to The Hoxton/100 Shoreditch/Llama Inn hotel rooftops for fair service. I'm a regular at The Hoxton & I swear by their service standards & hospitality. I've been to Boundary a few times (alone & with a friend) but their staff's attitude on this last occasion isn't worth going back. In July, I was meant to meet a friend here after work, as they were on their way, I chose to order an appetiser, do some work & wait for him. The waitress came over at 6:27 to say her manager asked for laptops to be put away after 6pm, so I respected that and put it away at 6:30 & ordered a glass of wine. Whilst there, I was ordering water because it was 30C but I also had a focaccia. The waitress then came over to ask me to order more than just water if I wanted to stay which I found reasonable so I got a glass of rosè. As soon as I was done with my 1st glass of wine, she comes back to say her manager asked me to leave if I'm not ordering more, I was fine to order more wine and she then refused saying it wasn't enough.. She reiterates she was told to tell me to free up the table because I wasn't ordering enough & there were more people waiting downstairs who were likely to spend more. I literally called my friend & said I could order more wine until he arrives. She asked how long, I said 30mins & she goes that's too long & I just had to leave. I asked for her manager to come explain why I was being refused service in that way. Her manager (bald-headed dude) comes to say they expected me to stay for 1.5/2hrs max & I wasn't buying enough like the table next to me. So I pointed out the ONE guy in front of me who only had a beer the whole time who they never hassled & who I'd visibly spent more than by that point. None of that making sense to me, he tried to say I was told downstairs that I had a 2hr time slot, that NEVER HAPPENED. Had they SAID that on arrival downstairs or upstairs, I would've understood but since they didn't that raised even more alarms for me. He didn't contest it either but simply reverted back to insisting that I leave. Not even because they had a reservation but just because of an assumption. Ironically, my friend & I intended to have dinner, drinks & maybe try oysters when he arrived but they insisted that I just wasn't going to spend enough. That was insanely offensive because HOW do you know what we intend to spend? I would've at least understood if they said I should go downstairs to the other bar/restaurant or move to a smaller table upstairs or even that there was a reservation on the table but they insisted I just needed to leave based on some prejudicial BS. Seeing as there were other people around me doing similar to me or even spending less than my friend and I were going to spend that experience was crazy. I don't blame the waitress for relaying her manager's instructions but they had no justifiable reason to tell me to leave in the way that they collectively did. They singled me out for what I could only assume was a discriminatory, presumptive and preferential reason. I'm moreso shocked that they refused to even take my order when I asked to buy more wine, how is that even possible? Doubt they care but I have no intention on stepping foot in that building again. They could've simply asked me to move downstairs or to a smaller table until my friend arrives. Asking me to leave like that was crazy! No-one should let this kind of behaviour slide. Seems the staff there are delusionally comfortable about articulating a prejudice in front of surrounding customers and still have a line of people waiting to support their business. I encourage others to not be complacent and simply ignore such encounters. We're in August, even after sharing this review with them, The Boundary's public response was to double-down on their indifference with zero accountability. Judging by other reviews, I'm glad I'm not the only one that experienced their management's unprofessionalism over the years. I can accept their time limit (unusual as it may be, I've worked at other venues with capacity issues) but I cannot accept the unapologetic lack of transparency, consistency & poor communication that transpired.

The actual entrance is…read morearound the back not on the high street, this means that parking can be problematic, If you are lucky you will find somewhere on the side roads which have no yellow lines. There is a car park next to the venue, however it belongs to the offices near by so park there at your own risk. It strikes me as a good venue for artists and audiences alike. The artists can perform in an environment which allows for a certain amount of intimacy. There is a bar area which has seats, so if you prefer to be near the bar and watch the show you can, however there is a glass screen between the bar area and the main floor so what you would hear I don't know. The food they serve is to cater for a wide range of tastes, fish & chips, jerk chicken (which if you are like me needs some proper spice to it) and some salads. The portion size was good and i did not feel the need for desert, although nothing took my fancy!! They had the usual variety of wines, beers, sprits along with some cocktails. The time it took to get served was ok no long waits and it was packed. Its always nice to not have to go to the bar to order your drinks so the table service was very much appreciated!! We witnessed Michelle John, who I had not seen on the Voice and she most certainly can sing!!

I don't really like lime, but I was pushing myself to like it more so I ordered a drink that contains lime and asked for "just a little, tiny bit of lime, ok?" Well, when I tasted the drink, it was awash in lime! I didn't feel like going through the hassle of going back to the bar and asking for a new one so I tried to force down a few sips. But the friends I was with fortunately wouldn't tolerate my sulking with a nearly untouched drink in my hard, so I went back to the bar and explained. The bartender was very friendly and said he would drink my drink and make me a new one, no cost. He suggested the espresso martini, so I went with that (no lime in sight!) and loved it. The fire pit smell made me think of Burning Man, and it was drizzling a bit so sitting close together on the long wooden benches with the fire and the rain and a delicious drink was really nice.

Outside is a nice garden with planters and seating. Cocktails are good, better value during happy hour (which is 6-7 if memory serves) and the service is pretty efficient. A good place to start a night out in Peckham. My only gripe, as with many of the new crop of venues that have appeared in Peckham in recent years, is how white and middle class the clientele is. I mean, if you're in one of the most ethnically diverse areas of London and everyone around you is white and you DON'T think that's an issue then I kinda worry about you. Multiculturalism is not there to provide a colourful background to your life!

While…read moreit's just a one story rooftop bar, so it' doesn't have much of a view, it is some decent outside space above a very large bar. Still, since it was during a London heatwave and the world cup, we opted to sit in the main bar area. Also, like most London bars, there's no service upstairs on the roof...so you still have to order at the downstairs bar anyway. We got some beers and ordered the chicken tenders which were so good. The bar was comfortable, though loud (even though it wasn't too crowded), with lots of screens for watching the world cup. The bathrooms were also pretty good with lots of stalls. Overall, this was a fun spot close to the hotel.
