• "Everyone is so friendly and it’s a truly inclusive, community-led space."

Cons:

• "Lovely community space but down to one star until you can get bar/cinema staff to at least pretend they can be bothered. Smile. Say hello. Anything. They are like zombies."
• "Unfortunately I changed my mind, the barmen disappeared all the time, I had to wait 10' before to be served, the barmen was nowhere to be seen."
• "Served today by a woman with curly hair and a fringe in the cafe who really shouldn’t be in hospitality."
• "I usually have a good experience at Catford Mews. This morning I planned to get a coffee and was there at quarter to 9, I was told that they weren't open and I asked at what time they opened and was met with a very rude tone."
• "Not sure what to give as early days for this place. Concept is good execution at the moment is lacking as the food stores already look tired and are not inspiring."
• "Extremely disappointing experience. The service was a huge let down. Ending up leaving."
