Stable is my favourite place to go eat burgers. The prices are really good and the burgers are greasy and delicious. I always go here with my mate Peter after drinks and we love it.

Stopped in here for a quick breakfast before heading off for a tour while we were on holiday in London. They had a good selection of dishes and even something that my 5 year old niece could enjoy. Very nice staff!

It was a lovely place to have coffee sitting in the sun outside. I had a good time catching up with friends over coffee & croissant. It was very close to busy Victoria train station & coach station, but kind of on a quieter street. It opens till 8pm on a Friday, so perfect for an after work coffee. 

The staff were friendly & the decoration was indie & cute. The seats were very close to one another. If you sit outside & someone smokes next to you, it could be annoying. People sit at the next table could also hear your conversation. 

But still, a place I would recommend and I would go again near Victoria station.

Tomtom have two businesses in the area: arguably the best coffee shop in the ghetto that is Victoria, and this place. Over the years, the Mess Hall has experimented with format and menu, and remains generally better at breakfast than dinner. Yet it never seems like a go-to lunch joint, which seems odd given the dearth of good local spots in the area. 

Looking for something different for lunch with colleagues, we elected to give TomTom a well deserved shot at a Friday burger lunch. The menu did not disappoint, with plenty of options and and some innovation - pink mustard mayo, for example. Expectations rose. 

So why not 5 stars? Execution disappointed the menu, and we left full but unfulfilled. Here is why: 

1. The prices are aggressive. At £9 or so, the burgers are at a premium to other burgers in the area. Tomtom defends this with decor, hipsters and the offer of cocktails. But £4 for a 4 oz milkshake is preposterous, especially one as pedestrian as this. Either make it bigger or make it cheaper. Cocktails are pricier still. 

2. The food arrived cold. Great news where the milkshake is concerned but not for the burger. The grill was easily visible from our seats... and the Chef was not exactly busy. It remains a mystery why the burger arrived  on the wrong side of cold, but it did.

3. Service. TomTom is small, and it is staffed with three or four people all of whom were nice and tried hard. What's confusing is that they were doing pretty much anything other than waiting tables. Perhaps we were supposed to order from the counter? Things were not clear. Maybe they were having an off day.

The burger segment in Victoria is getting competitive with the arrival of Bleeker and Shake Shack around the corner. I like TomTom, and I love their coffee place. I'd love to see them win the brunch and salad market rather than stumble through burgers. I don't rate them above Bleeker, which is closer to my office. 

Experience says that they are far better than this meal and hence I have been kind with the rating. I'd go back in a flash and give them another try when the format changes.

Salad and soup anyone?

The service was a bit slow, but perfectly fine for a leisurely weekend morning meal. The coffee was on point, the pancakes were excellent, and the fruit compote and granola that come with the yogurt pot are both quite delicious. My only qualm with the simple military-ish industrial-chic decor was that the edges of the tables are a bit too sharp to comfortably rest my arms against for my taste (left lots of linear imprints in my forearms!).

A very cool little place to have coffee.  They serve lunch and breakfast as well.  Its conveniently located next to the post office if you need to exchange money and a short walk to Buckingham Palace. We are on vacation and were tired after the flight and charged up here.  Worth a try.

Slooooooooow! Stale pastries, food bland, service poor. Stylish decor.

I love this place! The mushrooms on sourdough toast are absolutely delicious and it's a 'clean and well lighted place' - the sort of place u can hang out in for hours.
