RESTAURANT REVIEW: THE JAM TREE, THE IDEAL PLACE FOR BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH

Bottoms up South Londoners! If you’re looking for a brilliant bottomless brunch that won’t burn a hole in your pocket, head to the Jam Tree

Here at IDEAL we have a motto, if you’re gonna do brunch, it damn sure better include bottomless boozing. What’s more fun than alcohol drenched midday dining? And if you’re looking for an afternoon of eggs and alcohol in South London for less than £20 (£17.50 to be exact) then The Jam Tree is for you.

Location

The Jam Tree has two venues – in the heart of Clapham’s Old Town and on the exclusive King’s Road in Chelsea. We visited the one in Clapham.

The Deal

Do you like prosecco? Do you want to drink a lot of prosecco?  From 12pm to 3pm (Saturday and Sunday) you can drink as much prosecco as your body can handle and eat something too. At only £17.50 this bottomless brunch is one of the best bargains in London. They even give you the bottle, so you’re in charge of topping up your own glass.  To take full advantage of the deal, we witnessed revellers move to the bar after they finished their sizable brunch plates, here they continued to enjoy the unlimited prosecco and ordered some small plates from the all day dining menu – clever. 

Ambiance

This Clapham spot is casual and keeps things low key. It’s the perfect place to hole up and drink away a rainy or cold Saturday or Sunday. In the summer, you can enjoy your brunch in the gorgeous garden. It’s a great place to catch up with friends and is large enough to host big groups.

Food

The brunch menu isn’t huge and the fare isn’t really anything to write home about, but most people here are more worried about the drinking.  That said, the food is still good and hits the spot. The portions are sizable, and that’s a good thing considering the amount of alcohol you’re likely to consume.

If you are a traditionalist brunch lover, then you can enjoy classics such as Eggs Florentine with buttered spinach and lashings of rich hollandaise. If you fancy some big, meaty flavours, try the Cowboy Breakfast – think sticky baby back ribs and mountains of pulled pork. Or if you’re in the mood for something compltely different, order the African inspired spiced egg dish Shakshouka.

Why Go

There are loads of  reasons why you should go to The Jam Tree for bottomless brunch. However, we’ve narrowed it down to three:

For a fantastic deal – We can’t stress how much of a bargain bottomless brunch at The Jam Tree is. A bottle of prosseco is normally around £30 in London – you do the math.

To start your Saturday night – Think of brunch at The Jam Tree less as a Saturday morning excursion and more as the beginning of your Saturday night.

Unlimited hair of the dog – This is the hangover cure from heaven if you need to recover from weekend events

Address: 13-19 Old Town, London SW4 0JT
