Pear Tree Cafe Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Nice food, can be pretty costly but to be honest the food tastes nice and you can see most of it being cooked in front of you which is always a nice thing."
• "This is way better than your usual café grub: we had the spinach pancakes with a side of harissa sweet potato fries, and they were well-presented and delicious."
• "Visited here for breakfast as it was close to our hotel, it was well worth it. Scrambled eggs were nicely cooked using good quality eggs served with a quality smoked salmon."
• "Really great quality food, well cooked, nicely presented and typical London prices."
• "Loved the food, I had a burger which wonderfully didn't taste like your average cafe burger - some good flavours and combinations had been used."

• "The food was very good."

Cons:

• "Also not enough items on the kids menu. very disappointing and it ruins Battersea Park."

Environment

Pros:

• "Cafe is next to a small lake with both indoor and outdoor seatings."
• "I absolutely love this place, a gem in Battersea park. Great coffee and food, always really busy with people enjoying the park, and happily they accept dogs which makes it a friendly place to pop in on the weekly dog walk."
• "Much more than just a convenience inside Battersea Park, the Pear Tree Café has enough charms and qualities to deserve an excursion on its own, especially being so close to Queenstown Rd."

• "Great setting by the lake and you can easily forget your in the middle of London."

Cons:

• "What a shame. Nice setting but destroyed by garbage everywhere."
• "Tables covered in bird excrement, which is clearly never cleaned."
• "The place is dirty the atmosphere terrible."

Value

Pros:

• "Great for tea, coffe and healthy light food."
• "It's not cheap but considering that this is always extremely busy and has LOTS of tables outside by the boating lake, it was actually pretty decent."
• "Prices are very reasonable given location."
• "Only £26 for two including drinks was very good value for the quality of the food and the location."

• "The food was very expensive, I had a burger (by itself) which was £11 and queue was huge."
• "The cafe is ridiculously overpriced for the quality of food and experience they are offering."
• "Coffee was reasonably priced but the Sandwiches were £6.00 each, way overpriced for a Sandwich."
• "Paid £15 For 2 stale croissants and lukewarm hot chocolate."
