What has happened to the restaurant not open today ?

Apparently they’ve had a power outage, but hope to re-open on Monday

I’d be surprised if it opens again. It’s been closed a few days now.Overpriced rubbish. So many better places in Putney to choose from.

Went once, would never return.  Waited 45 minutes for a rock hard, inedible pizza in an almost empty room.Casual attitude from staff and disinterested management

I agree.  We went once, never to return.  Food was passable, staff and management totally disinterested.Had a query on the bill and the manager was very aggressive until he listened to my question.  Why two rates of VAT?He scoffed and said, drinks have one and food has another....  Good bye said we.

Such a shame, it's my nearest restaurant but I agree, staff are awful, overpriced food not that great.  My friend and I complained a year or two ago and were promised a free bottle of wine the next time we came.  Still not claimed!!

Remind me -Is Antipodia the cafe formerly known as Brew?And is Jason Wells still around bringing his unique take on Australian culture to the roads of Putney?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6e0t8sDevs

Yes it was Brew and before that Phoenix (although there may have been another restaurant between Phoenix and Brew). As said it's a site with not too much footfall and an awful lot of competition further down the road.Dunno about Mr Wells.

Yes Mr Wells is still there and continues to expand his empire. There are Brews/ Antipodeias in Wimbledon, Kew, York Rd, Richmond etc. One just opened in Notting Hill. Not sure why the LRR one is still closed as it is their HQ and supplies bread and other goods to their other Cafes. One has to admire the work of their gardener though!
