Skylight Peckham Reviews Summary

Atmosphere & Setting

Pros:

• "The rooftop area is a real gem, complete with outdoor heating and conveniently placed sockets."
• "Inside, you'll find a well-maintained, air-conditioned space that's perfect for those seeking a comfortable work environment."
• "Great views of the London skyline in the day and after dark."
• "The atmosphere is 10/10 with a fantastic view over London which we were lucky to enjoy on a sunny day."
• "There is a rooftop where you can sit and relax, drink, eat, and socialise with others."

Cons:

• "The rooftop sofa cushions are stained, and leaves had fallen all over this. We were seated here despite all of this and no attempt was made by the waiter to try and tidy it up."
• "The venue looks really good but the service was awful. The food was served cold and the waiting times were long."
• "Tables not cleaned, sticky menus. Boys smoking weed at the table next to us."
• "The outdoor sofas where soaking wet but looks like a cover maybe being built as there's wooden structure outside."

Food & Drink

Pros:

• "The food was great, music was perfect and server did a good job."
• "We both went for the cheese burger and fries which was tasty and flavoursome."
• "I ordered the crispy pig’s ears which came with a side of gochumayo. It tasted ok, but not mouthwatering."
• "The food is so rich! A bit expensive considering the area, but it was all good quality."
• "The food was great! I would highly recommend the burger - best one I've had in a while."

Cons:

• "Thought the menu was limited and some dishes called for an adventurous palate."
• "The portions are small. I opted for BBQ and when it came after like a 25 minute approx wait, I was underwhelmed."
• "Food service was incredibly disjointed, with our table being served other people’s orders on several occasions."
• "The food was undercooked and looked inedible (had to send back), the drinks were so slow to come out."
• "Waited half an hour for cocktail to be served. The waiter discounted our bill by 10%, but still meant paying over £9 for a watery cocktail as most of the ice had melted when it arrived."

Service

Pros:

• "The staff is second to none – incredibly accommodating and attentive."
• "Especially Yas for your amazing event organisation and patience and to Dan the GM for being so happy, pleasant and accommodating on the day."
• "The staff, Naysa was really nice, sweet and patient to us as we were all new to the menu."
• "Good service and pretty space! The staff, Naysa was really nice, sweet and patient to us as we were all new to the menu."
• "Customer service is also good, and the environment is clean, good ambience and the roof top is a bonus."

Cons:

• "The service was absolutely awful. It was pretty quiet and there were several members of staff but we had to go up to them to actually get any service."
• "Had a work event here... Staff were super friendly and attentive. Drinks were delicious... Food felt not considered and one dimensional."
• "Extremely overpriced and bad service from the kitchen."
• "Unfortunately terrible. Having been to the original Tobacco Docks location, we decided to book for dinner on a Friday night. Although we were seated on time, we were ignored by the waiter for 20 minutes."
• "Came here to enjoy a early dinner/drinks. Waited 30 min for a waiter to even give us any attention."

Pricing

Pros:

• "For hot-deskers, they offer an excellent deal: unlimited teas and coffees for just £10."
• "Mount View students enjoy a generous 40% discount, while other students receive a 10% price reduction on food orders."
• "Enjoyed the 2 for 1 cocktails and the food which all seemed reasonably priced considering I had deal on the food as well."
• "Everything is so affordable, and we were offered birthday packages options."
• "The drinks are fine on prices (count £12+ for cocktails, and £5+ for beers) and walk-ins also possible."

Cons:

• "However, it's important to be aware that the food prices here are slightly on the higher side compared to nearby options in the area."
• "I didn't think the small plates were great value but I didn't see how small they were."
• "The burger was nice, but it was not worth £17. Food is definitely overpriced for the small amounts you get."
• "Scam of a bar, supposedly prices don’t include VAT? How is that a thing? If we were in the US where prices are expected to not include VAT I would understand, but that’s obviously not the case in the UK."
• "The drinks were lovely and the view was great. And the manager was very apologetic. That’s all the good I can say."
