Went here for brunch, wanting something different from the usual......and it was great. Incredibly varied menu, going from kippers to refried beans with fried eggs n jalapenos!! Friendly, informal, popular, slightly quirky/arty decor. Would certainly go back again. Check out the website first to see if it suits your tastes. More

Food and wine were delicious! We got a bowl of popcorn while we mulled over the menus, and jelly beans with the bill....very cute touches. Nice atmosphere and seems to do a great trade, we enjoyed dinner so much we came back for breakfast and I must say it was just as good. We didn't look at the specials and... More

Had a lovely family meal here at the weekend. Amazing choice of dishes from Caribbean thru Italian to traditional English. It was very hard to choose what to have, so much so that I will definitely be going back on my next visit to London. I am going to attempt to make my own jerk chicken at home but don't... More

I love banners as it brings together great food and wonderfully warm welcome. Whether you are there for coffee and a quick bite or a celebration dinner the staff are fabulous and treat you like an old friend even if it's your first time. The food is great with regular menu and daily special and even babies are catered for... More

Good vibe, colourful, attentive staff and most importantly amazing food. many restaurants could do to take some advice from this restaurant. you are made to feel welcome as soon as you step in and the warm attentive welcome continues. With its quirky and colourful decor and individual quirks had the best evening to start my working week. The food was... More

This was always one of Crouch End's trendiest food places but sadly over the years the quality of food has slipped. They just don't bother any more. Nice atmosphere but the last two trips was poor quality cooking and over priced. More

They'll make you a toddy if you've got a cold, provide crayons for your kids and serve everything from sausage and mash to ackee and saltfish. Big breakfasts and hearty dinners, really professional staff and a great bar. Ignore that feels a bit grubby this place is unique. More

Celebrated my sons 5th birthday (for the adults) here. We had a great time and they were very accommodating. Food is always great and even though they get quite busy, they do their best to squeeze everyone in. Such a popular place for a reason. Have never been for Sunday brunch but hear it is amazing! More

My partner and I love Banners. The food is fantastic, service is great and it is such a relaxed place to hang out. All the dishes are reasonably priced and the food has never disappointed. Delicious, ever changing specials. Beer, cocktails, smoothies and the best coffee in London. More
