Excellent experience - what really made it perfect was the food, with really fresh, colourful ingredients, beautifully presented, and tasted delicious, plus the efficiency of the staff. They were prompt, very welcoming and polite, kept our water glasses filled, and were the perfect amount of attentive. My partner had the buttermilk chicken on a waffle served with an egg, and I had the grilled chicken and halloumi salad which was superb.

Forks & Green is a brilliant brunch spot in north London! Although we arrived at a slightly-later-than-usual time for brunch (around 3.30pm), we were warmly welcomed and seated very quickly despite not having a reservation. See disclaimer below for kitchen opening times!!! The waitress was friendly, got our orders in quickly and we had 3 delicious dishes, accompanied by nice drinks. The service was great, food came quickly and was fresh and tasty and the overall atmosphere great! Read below to underhand why it’s 4 stars from me. Disclaimer: Forks & Green serve their brunch menu until 4pm! So last kitchen brunch orders are taken just before 4pm, make sure to arrive on time if you want brunch! From 4pm to 5pm, the Forks & Green changes from a brunch place to an Italian restaurant (which closes at 11pm). During that time (4-5pm window), no food orders are taken, and no take away drinks are served. You can still order cocktails starting 4pm or any other drink item from the menu, and around 5pm you can start ordering food from their Italian cuisine inspired menu. So why 4 stars? In my opinion this place definitely deserves 5 stars! However, I would say that tables should be cleaner when guests are seated, our table still had crumbs over it. Also, they don’t have any gluten free options in their main menu (only talking about the pizza and pasta here), that starts at 5pm. In terms of brunch, however, they do have gluten free bread which is great! Vegetarian/Vegan (plant-based) options also available :). Hopefully next time we visit they’ll have gluten free pizza and pasta to cater to people who have intolerance/allergy. Still, service, food, atmosphere are fantastic!! P.S. they also serve Hackney Gelato outside ;)
