With this lovely summer weather I have had the opportunity to visit a lot of our commons and parks in South London over the last few months. With some of my friends, we have sampled the refreshments available on Wandsworth, Clapham, Tooting, Wimbledon Commons and Battersea Park. Hence this and my other reviews on park cafes that have an entry.

Common Ground Café.

Thank goodness this is my local café. It is head and shoulders above the other cafes of this type we visited in South London. We have visited on 3 different occasions over the last 2 weeks and have nothing but praise. The children enjoyed and actually finished their meals and our lunches were also tasty and fresh (we had the daily special of salad together with a slice of feta, courgette and mint tart). The coffees, cakes and ice creams were also delicious. Service was efficient and they also have a useful separate take away facility on the Sunday that we only wanted drinks and ice creams to complement our picnic.
The only problem, as I see it, is that it does get very busy on sunny days but not too sure you can do anything about its popularity.

I have been to this cafe many times over the years it was a lovely place to take the kids but now its completley different its become very expensive and the portion sizes have become smaller and the staff ruder! I ordered a childrens meal for my son which consisted of 2 fish fingers 4 chips and 2 small pieces of broccoli, it cost £ 4.50! In other restaraunts you get a drink and pudding for this price. The services was awful and the waitress miserable and the table was not cleared. The owners have obvioulsy become very greedy and assume that there customers are all rich.

The start of February and we manged to sit outside of Common Ground Cafe Bar on Saturday. Common Ground was quite busy but we were served by a lovely waitress who was friendly and efficient, which together with the food and hot chocolate made for a great experience at a really lovely place.

Common Ground Cafe Bar is a perfect way to spend a Saturday or Sunday morning. Taking the kids to the duckpond and the playground and then spending an hour over brunch at Common Ground. What did we do before this opened?

Surprised at the other comment. I've been to Common Ground Cafe Bar 50+ times and never had anything but a fair priced healthy-sized offering. Then again, I don't tend to go out for a spud.

Common Ground Cafe Bar is a great place for breakfast on weekends. Me and my girlfriend go a couple of times a month and have always had a great brekkie as we work through the menu.

Had a great breakfast atr Common Ground Cafe Bar on Sunday morning. I had a full breakfast with a coffee and fresh orange juice. My wife had pancakes with greek yoghrt and berries. All were delicious.

Would recommend Common Ground Cafe Bar to all. Follow with a walk on wonderful Wandsworth Common and your hangover has gone.

Me and my friends meet at Common Ground Cafe Bar several times a week and find it excellent. The food is always fresh with good portion size. It's not cheap but is good value.

Common Ground Cafe Bar can get very busy on sunny weekends but with such a great location we don't mind waiting.

Common Ground Cafe Bar is shocking. Pure greed. They charged £8.25 for the following: 1 potato with tuna (no mayo or butter) with a squeeze of lemon and half a small potato with 2 spoonfuls of beans. And for that they did not even clean our table or take the old glasses away. Common Ground Cafe Bar is disgusting, in my opinion. Don't go there.
