absolutely LOVED this place!!! wouldn’t even know it’s gluten free. had the hot honey chicken and waffles and it was so friggin perfect in every way. crispy waffles with chewy fluffy middles, perfectly succulent chicken thighs with crunchy flavorful breading (not at all greasy either) the hot honey actually had a good amount of kick (so well balanced) and the fresh sprouts and aioli cut the heat and freshened the palette. honestly this is one of (if not) the best meals ive had in all of england, just bc they did what they do, with creativity and they did it right in every way. good job you lot!!!! and also excellent service (which i’ve also found extremely rare in the last year and half of traveling and eating across all of england) needless to say i’m a huge fan. if i lived around here i’d want to live at utter waffle. and i will be back for a hot desk sesh - a super cool thing where they offer unlimited hot drinks for mega cheap with strong wifi for us desk junkies.

There is nothing more depressing than attending a wedding and watching everyone else devour the evening food -- usually pizza -- while you sit with nothing to eat because you're gluten free. So when it came to planning our wedding, we wanted to ensure we could safely eat everything. We were so excited to see Utter Waffle listed as a preferred vendor for Brockwell Hall, because their waffles are THE BEST. They rocked up in a seriously beautiful food truck and so many people flocked to it that I honest worried we hadn't fed people enough with the main meal! Choosing Utter Waffle for our evening food was the best decision we could have made. Their pricing was competitive with the other vendors we reached out to, but their offering was so much better. We served one savoury and three different sweet waffles, AND they offered vegan alternatives, so every guest was able to enjoy!! Good luck finding other food trucks that can safely accommodate all of your guests' dietary/allergy requirements without sacrificing taste or costing the earth! And enjoy we did! We had 115 adult guests, and had chosen to do 90 savoury and 120 sweet waffles, which we thought was sufficient.. but we ran out! Thankfully only just at the end of the evening, but I think our guests would have happily kept eating! Truly can't recommend them enough. We had so many compliments on the original and delicious food. "Way better than pizza". James and Jules were both very easy to work with when organising the details and responded quickly to all of our various questions. They organised a tasting session for us and our parents and talked us through all the options and possibilities and really made it clear they cared about our event and what we wanted. We love that we can come back and eat here whenever we want! Just wish they had a location up north closer to us!!

Delicious, simple, no frills cafe style restaurant that focuses on waffles - both savory and sweet. All waffles are gluten free and my coeliac friend loved this place. We went for their fried chicken waffles, and finished up with sweet waffles topped with chocolate sauce and honeycomb - and it was suberb! The savoury waffles are stuffed with cheese and herbs, slightly crunchy yet fluffy, and full of flavour. Prices were reasonable as well. The only complaint? They could be BIGGER 😄 i will absolutely be back! Make sure you book a table because they were packed during brunch time peak hours on the weekend. Dog friendly as well/doggy menu available.

This is one of my favorite spots in Herne Hill. I'm a regular customer and extremely addicted to this place. The entire menu is fairly priced and gluten-free, which is a blessing for someone gluten-intolerant like my wife. The staff are wonderful and very attentive, and there’s a great beverage selection, from GF beers and prosecco to smoothies and freshly squeezed juices, with the Amber Juice being my favorite. I always go for the fried chicken waffle, and the truffle hash browns are to die for. Conveniently located in Herne Hill right in front of the park, it also offers takeaway options if it’s sunny and you fancy a picnic in the park. The place is dog-friendly, which I don’t mind, and it has a great vibe. It also has a sister restaurant in Balham, which I’ve visited many times, and I must say the experience is just as good as the one in Herne Hill — just with a slightly different vibe, considering they’re in two different locations. I highly recommend this place. I’d also recommend pre-booking your table, as it’s a busy restaurant. They also accept walk-ins, but there may be a short wait.

Our first visit but definitely not our last! James’s care and attention was much appreciated and enjoyed. Delicious food and drink - perfect for a gluten free gal and her gluten-loving fella.

Genuinely the best gluten free waffles I’ve ever had, and best gluten free fried chicken. Tender, crispy and went so well all together (we had the wafflin’ chicken!) fully recommend for those who aren’t even gluten free as it tastes just the same! (Also the merch is so cute) Special thanks to Scarlett for being an amazing host!!

Excellent spot for a coeliac. The waffles were next level delicious. I had the Wafflin Chicken and an ultimate hot chocolate. The service was quick and friendly, highly recommend

Do not miss this wonderful place! The waffles were absolutely incredible-it is truly a Celiac Dream come true! My husband, who is not Celiac (or generally a fan of waffles), also loved them! The Biscoff Latte was also amazing...I had two! 🥰 Also, we had the BEST waitress!! Fiona was attentive, kind, and so very helpful-she was the cherry on top of our phenomenal experience! Thank you, again, for creating such a wonderful space! I can't wait to come back to London and enjoy your waffles again...I am salivating just thinking about it!

Believe the positive reviews. These waffles are absolutely delicious. If you are not gluten free you will not be able to taste the difference and will probably enjoy these more. Don’t be like me, book a table because it’s busy!

Me, My kids and my partner all loving the food here 💟 great self awareness about allergies, 100% recommend here. I'm the only gluten free person in the house but yet everyone enjoyed themselves we gone there a few times now! Oh yeah the staff are so kind and helpful too 😁

Amazing food and very friendly staff. It is completely gluten free and one of the co-owners is coeliac, so the perfect place to visit if you are gluten free. They also have a great vegan menu too. The waffles and fried chicken are unreal and the staff are more than happy to help, we will definitely be returning! Would recommend booking at the weekend, as it gets really busy.

I really liked this place! We came here for brunch on a Sunday and luckily had booking, it was pretty busy and there was a tiny queue with maybe 2-3 parties outside. The food came quickly and looked beautiful, the waffle wasn't the texture I expected as it was kinda firm and crunchy but that might be due to it being gluten free! I had James, Jules and the giant peach and I thought it was a generous portion. They have a separate vegan menu but I love that the majority of dishes can just be veganised so people don't feel like missing out! This is a great place for groups, especially if someone has dietary restrictions! Would definitely come back and try some more!

For a first-time-waffler, I’ve gotta say, I’m a believer! I think it’s pretty downhill from here though, as I think this is the best gig a waffle could have! The variety on the menu was plentiful. So many yummy choices. All gluten free too (bar one) which is so helpful. It was tricky to choose! However, both went for the fried chicken waffles; the toppings are well chosen and compliment each other beautifully. I couldn’t believe how pretty the food looked either - it definitely lived up to the funky decor. All in all, fabulous visit to this clearly much-loved-by-all local brunch spot - sheer indulgence at its best.
