"As it was a rainy day the place was very quiet compared to normal. However, the service from the bar staff was just appalling. I ordered a spritz from the summer cocktail menu but the barman didn't seem to know what it was despite showing him a number of times. I don't know what he made me but it wasn't what I asked for and I'm pretty sure it had no alcohol in it. The second time I went to the bar there was nobody there. I tried to catch the eye of one of the waitresses serving food, but she did all she could to ignore me. A few other people arrived at the bar and we all stood about not knowing what to do. Eventually the barman emerged from wherever he had been hiding and had a long chat with the waitress, before ambling behind the bar again to take orders. No smiles, no apologies, no eye contact, nothing. If you want to have locals make up your trade out of season or when the sun's not out, you need to do better than this."

"I discovered Dip Flip when looking for somewhere to eat close to the Clapham Grand. It sounded interesting and once I checked out reviews I knew I had to try it. It did not disappoint! When we were seated the waiter went through to menu with me as it was first visit and explained the dip sandwich options, the burgers and the sides. I knew I wanted to try the dip sandwich, after all that's what it's all about! I wanted the full experience!! I decided to go with the roast beef topside, with garlic lemon mayo, double dipped, with a side of regular fries. My dining companion went for the chicken dip sandwich with sweet potato fries. The beef in my sandwich was so tender I can't explain, it was so juicy, flavourful and delicious. (As my friend described her chicken it was like slicing through butter, it was so tender). I wasn't sure how the mayo situation would pan out, but it was perfect. I really enjoyed my sandwich and was actually disappointed to finish. You get a portion of gravy on the side with all dishes, so I finished my meal off dipping my remaining fries. The fries were ok, nothing memorable. However the sweet potato fries were really good, they had a bit of crunch and were seasoned. My friend loved them, and the portion size seemed to be bigger than the regular fries as well. The decor is simple but effective. The staff were really nice and I felt really at home! Which I know is an odd thing to say about a restaurant. I would definitely go back and would be keen to try one of their other dishes, with a different meat or one of their burgers. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!!"
