Lost Society

Staff were friendly and attentive and the venue was stunning.

Sadly the food was not up to the surroundings.

The menu was very limited with only 3 or four choices per course, some of which were not available.

The beer list was impresssive though.

We had the asparagus salmon egg starter and my girlfriend had the roast beef. The main crtiticsm was that the potatoes were obviously reheated from frozen giving that telltale texture that left them wanting.

My haddock and spinnach florentine was good, but again the mashed potatoes seemed re-heated.

It was a pleasant venue but I will not be going back.

Time Out were right to call this place a "little Gem" deserves all the great praise it's getting. My best Friday night out in Clapham in ages and highly recommended!!!

Fab decor, lovely (and cute!) staff, scrummy food- the sharing platters and roasts are particularly good- and all at reasonable prices. I am lucky enough to live up the road so will be back very soon!

Had a lovely eve here last week. Good cocktails and food - and prosecco on the wine list, excellent!

Slightly dodgy service from a ditzy but well meaning waitress, our first round of cocktails took an amazingly long time to arrive. After this things picked up.

Overall a great time in fab surroundings - all without breaking the bank. Will definitely be back

Myself and 3 friends ate at Lost Society on Thursday. I cant put into words how superb the food is. My friend who had the Lamb Shank actually went into the kitchen to complement the chef - a first for her.

Lost Society has definetly hit the nail directly on the head. The decor is new and exciting, attention to detail. The drinks list is diverse and extremely interesting. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and know what they are talking about when it comes to their product.

Spread the word, South West London finally has a gem.

The new incarnation of the Tea Rooms de Artistes, Lost Society has lost none of its former charm. These days a 'refit' often leads to a light-pine-and-spotlight dullstrosity, but thankfully Lost Society has been cleaned up and decked out with some genuine art-deco flair. This is no half-hearted chandelier-here-and-there effort (although they abound), in effect they’ve created a varied yet cohesive, gorgeously decorated cluster of rooms. The building's actually a converted barn, as you can tell from the solid beams buttressing the walls. Oh yes, and there's a delightful, secluded garden area too.

The place hasn't forgotten its party roots either (this is where Rob Da Bank started up Sunday Best) - Thursday through Saturday there are a collection of mix-mongers spinning a variety of breaks, hip-hop, funk or whatever else to an appreciative, laidback crowd.

A quick glance at the brimming bar demonstrates that you won't be getting bored there either. There's a cosmopolitan array of beers peering out at you, not to mention the bar staff keen to mix and match a cocktail combo on request. And if you're feeling like you need some sustenance with your drink, the food’s not half bad either.

A curiously relaxed vibe, for a surprisingly well upholstered interior.

A+
