All Bar One - Sutton

Visited All Bar One in Sutton on Sunday afternoon on two occasions, with the first being earlier on as a stop by for coffee in between doing some shopping in the town as the bar is well positioned for travel to the area and for the shops. Being quiet earlier on, I easily found a table and ordered a white americano paying through the app. Was brought to the table quickly by server and with a smile. There was some confusion on the order where the app options are espresso or decaf - the order came with an additional espresso and extra shot of chocolate. Error in my favour, so all is fine. Returned later on for the drag bingo evening, which table was booked in advance through the website. Booking was quick, but had a barrage of reminder emails on the weeks leadings up to the event pushing to pre-order and unless look closely can see small bookings dont need to pre-order all the food - there is no way to turn these off as only option is to complete the pre-order to stop the reminders. In future, will tag these to go straight to the spam folder. The table was ready for the 5pm booking, and ordered drinks at both the bar and by the friendly staff throughout the visit. No problem with the drinks orders, and service was quick and attentive throughout. Food: Had the Chicken Maki bowl, with added bacon during the evening visit. Unfortunately, the food quality was quite poor and did not enjoy it. I've had this same dish at other bars and until now haven't had one with any reason to rate as bad. Underneath the top layer where the chicken and bacon was - there was a smaller portion of rice but low score because it was nearly all sliced cabbage under the chicken, making it just dry, little taste and crunchy. Improvement needs to be given to the food. The free drag bingo entertainment was okay. Took a very long time to get started, and ended bang on 7pm. A busy and excited atmosphere as can be seen on the photos. There are more of these events both here and at Wimbledon's All Bar One, so more opportunities for anyone who missed this one. Rating overall is a 3* due to the food, and the nag messages being received throughout the build up to the event that couldn't stop.

Loved the service and it was very busy we still had good service! Think the QR code ordering is great! We could order drinks to the table :). We had the Christmas set menu and everything was perfect. All orders correct and even with our fussy eaters removing things! The kitchen got the orders spot on! Everyone at our table of 10 people said how good the food, drinks, service and atmosphere was.

I went in on a busy Saturday afternoon but the staff were excellent and still took the time to deliver great customer service. I was served by Will, who shined in particular, very friendly, professional and attentive to detail. As they say it’s the little things that make a big difference and I’m very likely to come back in the future as a result. The place was also very well maintained and with a great atmosphere! Recommend
