Beautiful place! Such a warm, wonderful welcome from all the staff when you arrive. Very accommodating, friendly and outstanding service levels. Food and drink were fantastic! Absolutely delighted to have found this place, definitely coming back again soon. Thank you so much xx
We came for valentine's day and we had the most amazing experience. It was our first time visiting and it's fair to say we will be returning frequently! We ordered the salmon pasta and the Spanish gourmet burger and it was easily the best burger I have ever had. The service was great and the vibe was really chilled but upbeat at the same time, we're looking forward to coming back!
A lovely first visit for lunch. We shared a vegetarian pizza, whitebait and vegetable tempura and had Ava-go-go smoothies with ginger shots to drink. All really tasty. There was too much to eat and so we took some away in this lovely pizza box and a bag with a thoughtful, hand written message. Emma was fantastic as our waitress. We will definitely be returning.
Spent my daughters birthday there and food was amazing, excellent service by AD our waiter for the evening and made the best cocktails!!!
Love Darcey’s our favourite place! The staff are amazing so friendly and go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. Food is always great! A big shout out to Nicky who makes the most incredible hot chocolate ❤️
We celebrated my daughter’s birthday at Darcey’s and had a wonderful time. There were 9 of us at the table and each one of us really enjoyed the food and drinks that we ordered, there were no complaints. Food tasted incredible and came out hot and at the same time. All the staff were so friendly and nothing was too much to ask. Ended with a lovely presentation of my daughter’s birthday cake, it was brought out on a wooden board with a special message, strawberries and marshmallows. Such a lovely personal touch which we didn’t even request. Thanks for such a lovely time, we will 100% be back!
First time here and absolutely loved everything. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back

Went in just for a spot of food for a birthday dinner. The staff and service was just absolutely fantastic. The nicest people i have ever met. Got a true love for the job and really wanting to interact with myself and my friend. The food was to die for. Really reasonable prices and the portions are massive. Cannot fault one thing about here. Really made our night. Thank you so much again!

Family dinner
Excellent ambience, food and service. I have been to Darcy’s before, they have updated their menu and added new Italian dishes. Lovely evening, thanks to all the staff.
Great service, great food and drinks, and a lovely evening.
Beautiful restaurant, very friendly and accommodating staff. Food was amazing! Thankyou so much, we loved our visit :)
Great food and great service
Perfect fries and burger and I personally love the smoked paprika dusting the plates come with. Decent amount of choice on the menu and the staff are lovely.
Amazing Service, great place for food with family. Every meal amazing The team were great, very attentive and offered great service and lots of laughs
staff are always so lovely, food never ever disappoints, and it’s one of our favourite spots in the area! hugely recommend visiting for brunch!
The staff were so friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Will be back.
Had brunch at Darcy’s as always it didn’t disappoint Good service, great food, what else is there! We will back again
8 friend’s get together for an evening meal … great food great atmosphere and great service especially from Della..!!
The food is delicious and the service is excellent!
Wunderschöner Laden, sehr nette Ambiente, gutes Essen und sehr gute Cocktails 🍸. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich. Sehr empfehlenswert.
DELICIOUS coffee aside (seriously, spot on!!), the staff are the highlight. Our boxing day canal hike ended up here, where they smashed our welcome and refuel; will definitely be making this a routine trip.
Always great on Xmas Eve
Brilliant food, especially the Tapas. The hanging lamb kebab was excellent. Very friendly atmosphere.
We ordered the avocado, eggs benedict on toast (£13.50) and the duck waffle (£15). The waffle was sweeter than expected but still good. Service was really good too.
I went to Darcys tonight for the first time, I could not get a table as fully booked so was able to order food to takeaway, the gentleman who served me was polite, friendly, helpful, nothing was too much trouble, ordered a pint of pale ale while waiting 😀 Venue was nice inside, staff friendly, pizzas tasted really good and were ready super quick! Thank you so much, will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant, Adam 😀
Amazing bottomless brunch!! Attentive and caring staff!!!!
We came for brunch for my daughter's birthday. The service was impeccable and the staff were so friendly and attentive! My mum is disabled and they were very accommodating and I also bought my dogs who got treated to puppachino's! We had Darcey's breakfasts and the duck waffle which were huge and definitely good value for money. At the end my daughter got treated to a surprise birthday cake with huge sparkler! I would highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️
Waitress Nikki2 is a star
The food was absolutely delicious and the service, superb 👌. Ambience was amazing, very Instagramable. Highly recommended.
Amazing food! And the loveliest staff
Emma and Nikki were amazing hosts, highly recommend the venue 😍
Amazing and interesting diner next to a London canal and harbour. It could not be better. Food delicious, decent selection and fantastic service. Highly recommend cafe / breakfast / lunch diner.
We had a lovely meal out tonight, the food was fantastic, nice chill atmosphere and the service was without fault (with a bit of humour and charm included 😉). I had the vegan pizza and it was absolutely delicious. My friends had the hanging kebabs and Darcy's burger and they all said how good the food was! Thank you, we will absolutely be back and would definitely recommend 🇨🇦 🇿🇦
Very nice staff, Lasagne was lovely! Fresh and the energy is amazing.
