The Crystal Palace Market

Excellent classic greasy spoon , that 's clean and accommodating. Zero pretence, just honest food and service.

The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. Though it is primarily a takeout restaurant, there is one table available for dining in.

I used to love this place as a smart and yet family friendly hang out with good quality food, but I had a terrible experience today all down to the management and customer care.

The service was great and the chicken shish kebab was delicious. The chips were beautifully crispy. My only complaint is that the chili sauce was not the best I've had. I would rate it 4 stars.

I am still sitting at the table and I feel I need to leave a comment, as me and my bf were astonished by the (small) size of the portions. I got the mojo chicken breast and what u see in the picture is the size compared to a normal fork (with some salad leaves on the side). I have to say o have never seen such a small portion in London. The burger my bf ordered was also very small, literally a kid size portion. Surely I am not going to come back!

I like the concept of fish market stall restaurant. We popped in to this local 'bistrot ' style eatery while passing. It was a Saturday lunchtime full. The menu was good, with an excellent range of fresh fish salads, together with the more usual bar options. They were able to cater for a gluten free diet, with some minor adjustments. The price was high for a place so far from the centre of London. However all our dishes were well cooked presented. I can see why it is so popular with locals.

I visited for Sunday lunch with my friends and husband. The staff were really friendly and the decor was lovely and very cosy. However the food was incredibly average. They had run out of 2 of the fish dishes (and it was only 1pm), so as a pescatarian I ordered a halloumi burger, which cost £14! For that price I would have expected something extra special and it was very underwhelming and basic. Skin on chips were promised, what we got was basic over cooked fries. Our friends both had steaks which were fine but not £23 worth. Not to mention £10 for a Bloody Mary. Don’t mind paying for good food but this is a rip off.

I visited here with a friend for lunch and although the food and drinks were nice (we both had burgers), the service was very hit and miss and at times rude. For example, a big sigh from one of the many servers, when my friend politely and reasonably asked for milk that hadn’t been given with her tea. There were enough staff serving but some of them could do with some better etiquette and manners. The girl who brought the drinks, introduced my wine as the wrong one, Merlot instead of Malbec, and then pretty much said that’s what I meant! I had last visited a few years ago and it’s a shame as it seems to have gone downhill since. Won’t return or recommend.

My partner and I had been looking forward to a revisit to The Crystal Palace Market. This was our fourth visit and previously we have enjoyed excellent service and incredible food. The food, as per usual, was excellent... however on this occasion the service really let us down. It was clear that there were some new staff on that night. We had a very lovely new waitress who served us wine, she was honest about it being her 1/2nd shift, but she was very friendly, polite and pleasant. The food came and we got stuck into our meals, great tasting and nicely presented. During the meal though a waiter was taking orders from the table behind, but he was so close to me that I couldn’t even move my el...
