Skylight Peckham

The views from here are beautiful! Plenty of space if you want to wfh, catch up with friends and have a nice place to have some drinks whilst looking at the city in the distance. They have a telescope and blankets too!

SERVICE 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
This new rooftop bar in the heart of Peckham is lush. The service is impeccable. I was on my period and the staff kindly lent me a tampon, which is going above and beyond in all honesty.

DRINKS 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Ordered the Skylight Sour - Monkey Shoulder, Dubonnet Rouge, lemon with aquafaba. It’s delicious. Mixed so well: not too sweet or strong.

FOOD 🖤🖤🖤🤍🤍
Ordered the crispy pig’s ears which came with a side of gochumayo. It tasted ok, but not mouthwatering. The truffle fries were a little better, and the pastrami toastie was tasty.

VIBES 🖤🖤🖤🖤🤍
Really love the layout, location and view. The music isn’t too loud and the table setup is spaced out enough so that conversations between company isn’t drowned out. I like this bar.

Between 2/3 stars.

It was simply okay.

Sunday afternoon me and a friend grabbed a table on the rooftop.

Just some of the things, there were hardly any staff around on rooftop area, so there was constant waiting between servings / plates to be clear and trying to get attention and flagging down when there was a person or two. At some times I looked around and there were literally no waiters or waitresses outside at all!! Even as busy as it was.

The portions are small. I opted for BBQ and when it came after like a 25 minute approx (no exaggeration) wait, I was underwhelmed. Like, thinking, '£16, for this??' one bit of chicken, a little bit of fries and a bit of coleslaw. It didn't feel like value for money at all, especially with the long wait we had, it probably made it a bigger issue.

The menu is very limited, and doesn't offer much variety. It's interesting because we weren't really in a brunch mode when we got there, it was around 3pm on a Sunday afternoon, it was more lunch / early dinner if anything yet the brunch menu was all they had available until apparently the dinner menu was available from 6pm onwards.

I go to a lot of places and this was the first time going here. Naturally you judge by first experiences in particular. It seems that it's decent for a little meet up with basic drinks, but that's about it. Really quite subpar, maybe I had some expectations because of the Instagrammable aesthetics, but unfortunately, what I'm finding is many places look good, but lack other essential things that make a good restaurant and also customer service.

We enjoyed and the service was good. Great views and lovely decor. Nice and spacious. It is quite pricey but a nice treat. The jerk serving could have been a little more generous

Good service and pretty space! This is my first time I have been here. We went in groups around 5 - 6 people and it was their first time as well. The staff, Naysa was really nice, sweet and patient to us as we were all new to the menu. We had some "truffle fries" which is very good, and some coffees. Such a memorable experience with the top view as well. The light and the color of the interior were nice and comfortable in a "chilling" vibe. If you wish to see both London Eye and The Shard, you definitely have to try the top view once. Will come back if I visit Peckham again.

One of the best brunch experiences I have ever had! The staff were so friendly, service was very quick and the food was beautiful! Ensuring was well presented, I forgot to take photos everything tasted so good but I will have to come back! Make sure you try the Moet cocktail!

Large, bright, airy space; fantastic views; plenty of seating; lovely cocktails… and the best bit is the staff, who are super professional and friendly and attentive. Great addition to Peckham!

NB Would like to see a broader food selection, however.

First visit with hubby and it was quiet but lovely. Nice decor, lovely friendly staff who served and I felt relaxed in this atmosphere. Enjoyed my two cocktails. Would definitely visit again .
