Outstanding. My words won’t do this place justice. I have seen the team at work prepping once when onsite for a technical fault and I was wowed by their skill and dedication as people forget how early they get in to start. Tony had been in since the early hours that particular morning.
Ozer (Oz) waited on us so well and was brilliant. The tasting menu was outrageously good. You can watch Masterchef and have your appetite whetted or you could go to a place like this and experience the real thing. Our 3rd night out in 7 months due to a newborn and wow did we enjoy it. We live a long way away but when in London for work we will sure to be back again. I would have loved to do the pairing wine menu but we had an early start. I can confirm the Negroni was the best I have ever had. Keep up the good work and I hope many more people get to experience this gem. Regards to all. Mark.

We haven’t been here for 6 months but managed to get a table and went for their June tasting menu.
We were pleased to see some significant improvements since our last visit. The staff were amazing, attentive and knowledgable about the wines paired with each course.
Over all the menu lived up to our high expectations.
However, we can’t give it full marks and there is still some major issues that are still not addressed. Maybe, it’s just our expectations, but others appear to agree, based on reviews.
We agree that there is a tendency in the over use of salt. Thou better than pervious menus we have had, there is still far too much salt in the dishes.
The timing of pairings with each dish still needs to be coordinated with the kitchen. We had several pairs poured far to early, and with the warm weather, wasn’t chilled when the dish arrived. This is a key service point, and easy to fix, we hope.
We agree that the amount of spring serviced is also small, and for the price, should be addressed.
As for the menu, almost every dish was cooked to perfection, and presented well. We do however feel the pork dish was an epic fail. The pork was so tough, we could even cut it, and left most of it. The real issue was the fact the dish had too many strong flavours and did not blend well and conflicted together. We made our feedback known, and give the dish was almost untouched the restaurant should have rectify the problem.
We will be back, but hope they make improvements to warrant the high price.
We got the 7 course tasting menu and everything was amazing!!! All ingredients were fresh and cooked to perfection, flavours were great.
Our server was knowledgable in how the food was prepared and was very friendly- i felt that he went above and beyond.
My favourite was the venison (best i’ve ever had it cooked), the scallops + the ginger milk ice cream at the end. Bonus mention to chicken skin butter.
Only con was that the complimentary bread was a bit stale but only because i’m nit picking. :)
Had a very, very nice meal at Cooper and Ink. Starter of Asparagus was very special and very well plated. We had a main of Salmon and Brill which both were very delicious. So we can say the restaurant has chops in preparing fish! Service was excellent, attentive and not cluttered. We love the bread and butter, butter was wonderfully seasoned. Highly recommend and we will be back again! Keep up the good work.
The main reason for 5 stars is value, very reasonable prices and very, very good food.
Cocktails and wine were delicious, they offer carafes of very nice wine, which is an excellent way to have a nice wine without having to buy a bottle. Limited but excellent selection.
Only negatives, the room has partitions up from Covid days, they are a bit crowding for the room and make it feel a bit darker.
Exceptional food, top service and a beautifully presented space to dine in. Made for a truly memorable evening. Thank you to chef Tony and his team who made us feel very welcome.

I visited Copper & Ink last month and had an amazing meal!
The service was brilliant. We came with friends with an 18 month old child and all of the staff engaged with her and helped keep her entertained, making us feel very welcome. Each course was wonderfully presented and the owner came and explained what each of us were having (even explaining what the toddler was having!).
The food was top notch. We went for the very reasonable midweek £35 fixed price menu (we chose mains + dessert). I had a hake stew (pictured) for my main and baked yoghurt as dessert and both were among the tastiest dishes I can remember - very well presented and with really interesting combinations of ingredients that I never would've considered! I've got a sieve brain so can't remember everything that was there, but trust me - it was great.
Don't come here if you're after masses of food at high street prices, but if you fancy eating something that is probably far nicer than what you could cook at home, with a brilliantly personal touch and in an intimate setting, then this is the place for you!
Amazing food and lovely service. All beautifully presented. Had the 7 course taster menu which I could not fault. Great wines too. Very hospitable to our dog too!
My favourite restaurant and I’ll come here blindly not looking at the menu, to be surprised, time and time again. Love it.
Caters amazingly for vegan eaters. And really, you aren’t missing out in the slightest. The food is fantastic.

What can I say , it’s amazing this is just our starters ! Will give full review after our mains. Sorry it’s been two week and we have not stopped telling people about our experience at Copper & ink . From start to finish this was fine dining. My main was beef short rib and my first bite was ( just the meat ) so salty I thought “oh No!” But when it was combined with the other ingredients it was fantastic a completely different taste. My partner had spicy chicken and once again the chef knocked it out of the park , so light , tender and full of flavour . Well done all 👏🏻👏🏻 and let’s not forget the service very attentive , knowledgeable and accommodating ( had to ask for more bread just to mop up with , a heathen I know but was told “ I respect your decision” 😂 we had an afternoon booking ( 3pm ) and it was very quiet and comfortable, no rushing from the staff asked for a break between courses and was obliged . We will definitely be back with a few more people on the near future! Keep up the good work and food .
I am really happy we finally found a truly decent restaurant in our neighborhood!
To celebrate my hubby’s bday we wanted something chill, dedicated, and nearby our place as a good lunch special, Copper & Ink did everything so well 👏👏👏
a handwritten card and cake 🎂
we are more than happy 😃 thank you n’ see you again soon 💋
Top experience, deserves at least one Michelin Star!
The tasting menu is delicious and very generous. Always struggling to finish it.
Great value for money.
Awesome service.
Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere! The staff were so friendly and helpful. It was my girlfriends birthday and our first meal out after lockdown so I called ahead to ask for their assistance and making it special for her and they not only gave me help but went above and beyond. Favourite cocktails served on arrival, special desert and a birthday card from the restaurant staff. The meal itself was incredible, the duck breast and cherry sauce was amazing but the strawberry and pestachio cheesecake with Sorbet was another level.
Just an ideal restaurant experience in every way.
I've now been here several times, and will keep coming back. The food is delicious, and the staff are lovely.
The tasting menu is an excellent showcase for what they do as a restaurant. It's the right number of courses of the right size to feel thoroughly full after, but not so large that a lot gets wasted or you feel ill trying to complete it.
Every dish I've had here has been excellent.
Its advisable to book, as they are usually busy, and if you want to book at the weekend you need to be either very flexible about timings or to book ahead by 2-3 weeks. Definitely worth it.
Really nice dinner here at Copper & Ink, the staff and the service here are fantatsic and the staff are very knowledgeable about the food with their ingredients locally sourced. All the dishes we had tasted great, well flavoured and all the dishes and concepts worked very well. Their menu is divided up by dietary requirements which was so refreshing to see, rather than just relying on icons next to each dish.
The reason for the not giving 5 stars this time is that we found a couple of the dishes a tad salty (lamb starter and pheasant main dish) and the pheasant breast on my main was a bit overcooked (tough and dry) but the confit pheasant leg was perfect and delicous. The vegan trifle for dessert was a definite winner and the coconut custard delicous.
Will definitely be looking to come back here and trying different dishes or even the tasting menu, so I'm sure I'll be updating this review to 5 stars next time around :)
Well I don't often leave reviews, because unless they are worth the 5 star review, I will pass on the feed back directly. No need with Copper and Ink to pass on feedback other than this..... WOW, food aside which was perfect, the staff. Given the restrictions and the incredibly difficult situation for all hospitality venues at the moment, they had it spot on, start to finish. Not rushed and no need to be, even given the national situation, just great service. I will let other reviews speak for the food because 24 hours after eating such delightful food, I can not find the words to do it justice. Also I do not think my photos can in any way give justice. Do yourself a favour and book a table, I will be.
Really enjoyed our dinner here, food was delicious, portion sizes just right, varied wine selection and lovely staff. The scallops were amazing and the chocolate torte with mint ice cream is dessert heaven! So glad to have an independent restaurant in the local area who are passionate about quality ingredients and service. Will definitely be coming back.
Had a really good evening at C&I, the tasting menu was outstanding. Really appreciated the excellent service and the pairing both wine and nonalcoholic, big thank you to all the team for a fab evening and great food. 👏👏👏👏👍🥂
This was certainly not my first visit to Blackheath’s own ‘Cooper & Ink’ and it will not be my last. Always a favourite I have to say the food is now working on even more stratospheric levels with adventurous, interesting, exciting and importantly; delicious concoctions that delight in every way. Just beautiful plates of food.
I heartedly recommend the ever-changing Tasting Menu purely for the opportunity to experience as many of the dishes as you can (plus you can play out your own little game of pretend Masterchef judging, comparing them all).
I don't eat meat, and have some annoying food allergies but they never, ever fail to cater to myself and every guest - vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, nut-free, gluten-free, you name it! Everyone is given the highest priority and it truly feels like it.
