Went to this beautiful bar and grill last night. Staff are friendly, food was excellent could not fault. The atmosphere was lovely. There was a group of us and we had an enjoyable night. The Manager definitely looked after us.

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Will definitely visit again!

A hidden little gem. Only came upon this place through GroupOn and went there with the wife and kids. We found the staff extremely nice and welcoming, with a rustic yet modern theme to the whole place. Decent mocktails and good hala food. The burgers were on point and the starters weren't bad either. Would recommend this place but it does get super busy, we had to ring a few times to get a table as it's always booked.

Very professional, the food was lovely the drinks were amazing. The music and atmosphere was also very good. I'd recommend this place to everyone and highly suggest you go there

Fantastic find, happened to come across it last week whilst out on a walk. Food was very good, drinks were lovely and the staff were all very helpful & friendly. Will come again and recommend to friends.

Excellent place and excellent food the staff and management are very polite and caring, this place is on the way up, best t bones and the fried donuts are amazing.

visited Parlay e18 last night decided to have lamb and halloumi burger, which is made in house with fresh made coleslaw washed down with couple of the coldest beers i've ever drank , burger was fantastic as was service look forward to going back.

Just spent a lovely evening at Parlay E18. Great food and good service, will definitely be coming again. If you are looking for a place with good food at a good price with a great atmosphere head on down.

Good food and tasty drinks. Nice music and friendly staff. Nice place to visit if you don t want to feel rushed or seen as just another customer. The team here value your visit and are eager to help and make your visit an enjoyable one. Nice one

Great food, lovely restaurant and excellent staff. Was a friends birthday and they went the extra mile for it. Will defo be going back again soon :)

Had a really good evening at parlay with my wife and some friends, the service was great and food was delicious. Was nice to finish our dinner and be able to enjoy some cocktails after . Was good to see that the toilets were spotless as that is a must when I m eating out ! Will be going again soon would highly recommend.

Wonderful Experience!!! Came with my girlfriend for Valentines Day and this place really made it special! The customer service is above and beyond, atmosphere brilliantly matching the day, the food was done with love and care and really enjoyed every bite and every second in this place! Deserve way more than 5 stars! Recommend+ and coming back!

Returned back to Parlay on a Saturday night and it was buzzing. Didn t reserve a table in advance as I assumed we would get seated but they were busy when I entered with 2 friends around 8pm. We were seated at the bar area and offered a More

Food was lovely... service was amazing! One down point was there was a slight delay in the drinks/starters being served but once they came we were all completely happy with what we were served. The waiter was extremely friendly and very attentive. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning!

Expensive for poor quality food. Very slow service. Sides arrived when mains were finished. One guest didn't get her food until everyone else had finished their food!

We held our wedding anniversary at ParlayE18 last weekend and we had a great night. Yes, food was slow coming out, but we had over 65 guests who all arrived at the same time which I had not anticipated. The staff could not have done more - they were exceptional. All in all everyone had a really fun night. Super cocktails (expecially the Porn Star Martini), great atmosphere, lovely staff. Perfect!! Thank you to everyone who made it a memorable night

Amazing homemade style freshly cooked food, lovely surroundings, helpful staff and great music .. had a lovely evening

Very friendly service. Nice atmosphere. Took my family out for a treat. Dinner and a movie. Odeon very close by. Dinner at parlay was very good. I had lamb chops. My daughter had the burger from the kids menu. Food was delicious.

Great place to come if you are looking for chilled and fun night with a group of friends. The staff are nice and friendly and make you feel welcomed and there is a wide range of drinks to choose from and the food was simply amazing I ll definitely be going back there

Could not be more attentive ...can't believe it's been open nearly 2 years....the cleanest place I've ever been ..would definitely come again whether for coffee..drinks or there we'll prepared food ...great place..

There are lots of good reviews here but I have to say the food was not good. My sea bass was overcooked. More like a pitta bread than fish. My friend had chicken that was overcooked too. I left most of mine and told them I wasn't pleased. We were the only people there and the service was very
slow and it was at least half an hour before we got our food. I think the chef fell asleep. I could say more but don't have time.
I will not go back for sure.

I visited with friends and had a great experience I am now planing to take my partner in and some other friends, great atmosphere, great staff, good price
It is worth a visit, I recommend....SS

Great atmosphere, super food and really well staffed. A must visit place

Great new place in southwoodford staff very friendly,food was great it's an absolute hit with my 7 year old who sometimes can be a fussy eater have been several times now and look forward to our next visit

Had the lamb burger, absolutely delicious. Good, friendly service and a nice vibe.

Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Will be visiting this place again.

Amazing food and service will 100 percent recommend to everyone

I had my baby shower here with all my friends last Sunday and it was the perfect place! The food was amazing as always and all my friends loved the experience and are looking forward to returning soon. The staff were so accommodating and were so happy to help with whatever we needed. The new menu that I have seen advertised totally lived up to my expectations and I m already looking forward to returning again in the near future. Thanks so much to the Team at Parlay!

Fantastic looking venue with excellent and friendly staff. The food was amazing, perfect for date night

Tasty food, professional service and great atmosphere. Can't wait for next Saturday night!

Burgers are a disappointment
No flavour
No originality
No sauce
Overpriced for something that was barely edible

Loved the decor and music. The food was brilliant and the portions were big. The virgin mojito was my personal favorite. Definitley recommend Parlay!

Warm, friendly and nothing was too much trouble would definitely return

Excellent food and service. The t bone stake was lush. Very friendly staff and over all a grate atmosphere. The prices are very reasonable. Will defo be going back with friends and family. Thanks guys

Food and service was good. Kids absolutely loved it. Very friendly owners.

lovely food and juicy lamb chops. very tasty food and very welcoming staff. have had a great time

Great food and a really welcoming atmosphere. I've been here mid week for a family meal and the kids loved it from starters to desserts. I've also gone for a weekend meal and drinks with friends on a Saturday night and the food was again on point with unique cocktails to compliment dinner. I'd recommend and will definitely be going again.

Fantastic venue, lovely staff and brilliant atmosphere. Went to a friends party here and all had an excellent time. Great food and cocktails!

An enjoyable evening spent at this restaurant. Me and 3 friends booked to have a catchup at this new restaurant and we was not disappointed. Beautiful modern decoration throughout and felt very clean and fresh. The 2 courses we ordered were delicious, we had to wait about half hour for our mains as they were very busy but the music and drinks kept us all occupied. Overall a very good first visit here at Parlay. Very friendly and sociable staff members and a good selection of food and cocktails that seem fairly priced considering the portions they offer which is very filling.
See you soon and good luck, a very friendly family run business competing with big names in the local area.. 5 stars :)

Had such an enjoyable and comfortable Mother s Day visit here. Delicious fresh food and very fairly priced drinks prices for such a special day. Fantastic vibe inside and fully packed with families celebrating a special day. Lovely restaurant- had a fab time thanks

Highly recommend this place, the food was served quick and the staff are super friendly! Have visited a few times now and have always been served promptly, with a warm welcome, they are very accommodating and the food Is delicious. Will definitely keep visiting!

Really nice restaurant with great customer service. Modern and cool with a great chilled out vibe. Food is delicious and good portion sizes. Visited after friends recommended and was not disappointed. Great family run business with tasty cocktails which are great value. See you soon for more of those homemade doughnuts

Went on their 2nd night. Hope it takes off because it is a decent bar/grill. We had the platter so we have a taste of everything.

Great service, great food, great cocktails and great vibes!

I ve been to Parlay twice now, once with family & once with friends! On both occasions the food & service has been SPOT ON. It s nice to finally find a family run restaurant that delivers everything you can ask for on a night out.... great food, great atmosphere, great staff & most importantly it s kid friendly. Will definitely be visiting again as I still need to try the rest of the menu

Really lovely food and backed up by friendly front of house staff. Hadn't had a t-bone in a while and that hit the spot. Definitely would recommend a visit

We visited on the grand opening, so there was a few minor teething issues as you would expect from any newly opened food serving venue. I've had worse teething issues at some bigger chain of restaurants! Staff and owners are very friendly and welcoming, the food was very good as was the desert, and I'm not usually one to eat desert.

The menu was not too over complicating with a reasonable selection to cater for all. This place has plenty of potential and we will defiantly be revisiting again soon to tryout more of the delicious food!

Fantastic all round and I would recommend to come and see for yourself DO IT

Very friendly and welcoming food is excellent the restaurant is so clean overall 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend to go they're I will be going there again

Had a met and greet for my new grandson the food was amazing and the cocktails are too dye for service was outstanding

Nice new joint in the local area. Burgers here are delicious and their menu options are good. Simple but effective good food. Nice one

Great place to hire for a party!! Or for that meal out or a drink in the evening. Friendly staff and food service

I took my family for my sons birthday (worst mistake of my life). We live in south London and it took us 1hr to drive to the restaurant. First, parking is an issue. When we got there the decor was nice, only one waitress, one cook in the More

Nice place!
Staff were really nice.
Ambiance was good too.
Food generally good.
Only let down were the onion rings. They looked and smelled fantastic but the taste needs needs a bit of enhancing.
I'd definitely dine there again. It's a good addition to the South Woodford area.

Not bad, went for a birthday party no food limited cocktails

First class service. Fantastic tasting food and delicious cocktails! I had the falafels for starters...seasoned perfectly. The sea bass for mains which was out of this world! The chocolate brownie was soooooooo amazing. Will definitely be returning again. Just to add, this is the best service I have ever received in any restaurant. Extremely professional and friendly atmosphere :-)

5* service by the staff food was lovely loved the chilli sauce its a must try...

Excellent food though service was a bit slow because they were quite busy

Amazing food and very friendly staff. Been here with family and friends and enjoyed it every time. I would definitely recommend the rib eye steak for mains. We will be back soon.

Warning ! After visiting here, nothing else will compare ! It seriously is that good. The staff are genuinely friendly and provide a really impeccable service. The design, look of the place and music is really trendy. A lot of thought has gone in to this by the owners, by thinking about what customers will like. It's really relaxed atmosphere. The mocktails were lovely. I had a mojito and my wife had The Refresher, both were excellent. The food is really good with great presentation. We had the Cheese fried balls for starters and the parlay grill platter for 2. Nice flavour and taste and you can tell the chef use's good quality cuts of meat. It really isn't an easy thing to open a restaurant and maintain a good standard, but these folks have it spot on and best of luck to them. Overall a really nice experience and look forward to going back again. Thank you.

Went back last night to have an anniversary dinner and food was as good as if not better than our first visit. I really wish the owners the best of luck with this venture and would appeal to anyone living nearby to try them out and support a local business.

Very good customer service from the fella at the bar. Would highly recommend

This is my third visit to Parlay. I attended Parlay to celebrate my nephew's 18th Birthday. The service was very good, atmosphere was amazing and to top it off the food was outstanding. All in all an amazing experience and will definitely be back.

Great cocktails and even better service. Parlay is the Emperor of bars in this side of London!

Not a bad place, they have friendly staff but when it's busy there can be a wait. Don't get seated by the window unless it's summer as you will feel the cold. I love their piri piri chicken which warmed me up, so I'd go again

Highly recommend, have been twice now and both times fantastic. Staff are very friendly, and the cocktails and food were absolutely delicous! Came last night with 16 guests and everyone really enjoyed themselves and loved the food. Atmosphere was great for a party booking with the music and cocktails. The team kindly took a pre-order (were very accomodating to any special requests on dishes) so that our food could be prepared before we came and it all came out correctly. Fantastic value for money, we will definatley be returning!

With the changed menu, the food is exceptional!
Will be definitely coming there every once in a while!

Great restaurant , all freshly cooked and piping hot, friendly staff and have offers!

This place is actually alright, came here with my brother off the recommendation of MeetUsAfter7 podcast. The waitress was very helpful and a great host. Also the DJ had a good selection of music playing through the night.

Went to Parlay E18 for my mom s birthday a few weeks ago. We are tourists from Canada visiting some family in the area and I have to say I was surprised at how excellent my overall experience here was. The food was awesome and the staff were super polite. Everything was top notch and I will definitely come back here next time I m in the area.

Cheers

Really lovely welcome. The food was excellent and the service was good. I would highly recommend it. It's a bit away from the main parade of shops so it's quite easy to miss it.It was really good quality food so well worth a visit. We were made to feel comfortable.

Great place for an evening out. Enough space on the dance floor! Staff are friendly. Drinks are reasonably priced.

Hosted my daughters 13th here. Had 14 guests at the dinner.

The owners were super accommodating. Gave me a great price when other restaurants were not willing to accept my daughters party as it was a Friday evening. Heaps of food and mocktails. Allowed me to decorate beforehand.
