Reviews of The Savanna

V. B.

Very tasty burgers. Wide offer and the Best jerky in London. The owner is very nice and friendly. I felt really good here. I recommend. Real taste of Africa is here

D. S.

Went with a South African buddy of mine as he wanted to grab a few bits. Excellent staff and the food we had (sadly only the London Bridge breach does hot food) was really very good and about the same price as a Burger King meal. Would certainly recommend if you are in the area.

B. L.

For all food things SA this is your place. Even found Durban curry mix with spices in separate sachets so you know exactly how much of what to add when. Farmstyle Boerwurst not to be beaten. Friendly staff, any food questions just ask. More varieties of biltong than anywhere else too.

M. G.

Outstanding service, very customer oriented! My special thanks to Andrew, who is a great person and give all attention to the client and help to get What we need, on top of that his great sense of humour brings to the shop a great and pleasant experience! I will continuing coming back to The Savanna London Bridge! Well done 👍

K. M.

A little home away from home in the heart of London. Delicious biltong and droewors as well as other South African delicacies and crafts. They’ve recently set up tables in the sunshine so you can enjoy a boerewors roll and drink. Would highly recommend!

E. M.

Nice selection of South African products at a convenient location.

N. W.

If you're a fan of beautifully spiced biltong and sausages this is the place for you. The Shakalaka sausage in particular is a favourite of mine and my fridge is frequently stocked with it. There's a smaller Savanna in Victoria but this one has a little cafe in it so you can eat-in. A unique little spot.

D. Z. (.

I am from South Africa moved to London last year. I couldn’t recommend going anywhere else but the Savanna for your meat and biltong! The staff at London bridge always make me feel like I’m back at home getting ready for a braai! I would suggest getting all your braai supplies from the Savanna every time!

s. w.

Great shop selling superb South African produce. Very friendly and helpful staff with good range of food and drink. Best biltong we have had for ages!!

A. W.

Tasty food and friendly service been back several times already

A. A.

Lovely little shop and the gentleman behind the counter was friendly and welcoming. I tried biltong for the first time as he gave me a piece to try. And I’m glad I did! We’ll be back for more and they do a great selection of sauces, crisps and meat. Seating outside so nice to sit with coffee and watch the world go by.

S. H.

This store make “home” feel a little closer. The team at London Bridge are amazing. Andrew always has a smile on his face and makes everyone feel welcome. I happily spend way too much money here. See you soon ……

A. S.

Good shop for the homesick Saffa, or for someone wanting to try something different. Can't leave without a bag of biltong. Got all the staples and a excellent collection of South African wines and beers. So if you need Boerewors, Simba Chips and some Windhoek beers for the braai this is the place.

J. S.

Fantastic array of great South African food and drink. Brilliant service from a very friendly team. Something for everyone in the family from excellent beef, poultry and a wide range of snacks and soft drinks. Lovely simple food on site. Well worth a visit.

C. G.

A brilliant South African experience in the heart of London!

D. d. V.

Super good, very nice boerewors and oxtail. This was my first time but you got your self a regular.

J. P.

The boerwors is seriously good.. As is the biltong.. a bit pricey but what do you expect my bru? It's London.

T. A.

Authentic South African roasts with sauces to go along. Staff are experienced and talk to you based on that too. I got there any opportunity that I can

H. H.

Most of the items available are authentic, and as such great quality. The assistant was very friendly and helpful. However, some of the sweet treats are imported from Australia rather than South Africa, and of much much lower quality, such as the 'Caramello Koala'.

T. M.

Amazing staff! Super friendly! Always helpful ! Tasters were delicious! And the outside seating was nice for a quick drink after work!

S. R.

Got everything associated with home....but Biltong is so expensive😪😪...OK for an occasional treat (just a small piece)

K. B.

my favourite place in London and the team are amazing. Very personable and helpful. I always leave happy... The biltong is the best in London

V. L.

Mouth watering ribs and chips. Service second to none. Friendly people. Will definitely recommend to friends. Hoping to be back for another treat very soon

C. S.

Love Savanna! My weekly stash of bolting keeps me going and the mew loyalty card makes it more worthwhile!

M. B.

Now serving cooked meals although the variety of products is drastically minimised in comparison to what they used to stock. Since they can no longer import chocolates from SA the only drawing card left is their expensive biltong which is at least made locally.

A. v. Z.

Good shop and selection of South African and Zimbabwe foods and products. Not my preferred biltong as there are a few other options in London that’s better tasting in my opinion. The quality is good though

D. V.

The Savanna stores are famous for their wide range of South African products including good quality meat and boerewors. This flagship store also has a huge selection of South African wines and is the only store to offer cooked food to eat there or take away. Pop in for your biltong fix or grab a boerie roll when passing by. Definitely worth a visit.

L. V.

Love this shop! Fantastic service. Can't wait to sit outside enjoying a borrie roll and glass of SA red....happy days!!!

s.

Previously went past The Savanna when I took the tube at Wimbledon which specializes in biltong. At the London Bridge branch, it is bigger and better serving food as well. Think of it like South African charcuterie!

J. T.

Simply the best meat in London. Every time I have a bbq (braai) I stop here for their steak and wors. They even braaiied(?) some steak, chicken and wors rolls for my office lunch. A lot of happy people in the office!

S. E.

Food is fantastic and service was even better. Would highly recommend. Definitely worth a visit. Prices very reasonable too.

V. C.

Nice layout and presentation, open shop with a nice selection of stuff. Had their droëwors en biltong which tasted nice. Otherwise unfortunately quite pricey, not a big selection of braai spices and sauces

C. v. d. H.

Love the biltong and they have all the south african treats you miss.

L. T.

We attended an info event for the 2019 SA elections last night. This is a great Saffa shop with all the SA products usually missed! The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We tasted some of their boerie rolls and biltong and koeksisters - all delicious!! They have a huge range of SA products, including Pronutro, Mrs Balls Chutney and Cartwright's Curry Powder. The shop is unusually spacious for London. It felt like in SA! We'll be back!

J. W.

Staff are ALWAYS friendly. I highly recommend the peri chutney biltong. Big shop that is always clean and welcoming. A truly South African experience.

A. R.

A small taste of home(South Africa) in London. All the little products and alcohol you wish were available in the stores. Well run by friendly and happy people

J. C.

If you want biltongs made in SA, this is the place to try. Their prices are reasonable. The staff are friendly and they have vast product knowledge. Nice shop to buy and try some SA products. Check out the peri peri biltong and for sure you'll love it as a snack.

A. C.

South African shop. Nice to find something you crave from the old country. But as with them all expensive.

N. T.

The biltong and droëwors here is some of the best I've had and I've been gobbling the stuff in South Africa since I can remember. Very impressed!

M. K.

Unfortunately The Savanna is on the expensive side - every single one of them - however, it is my go to place if I want to spoil myself with South African produce, especially the biltong and / or dry-wors.

B. P.

Wonderful shop, awsome helpful, friendly staff. The hot food is very hard to find at this high standard in London.

J. M.

Good little shop. Nice range of South African goodies - including the compulsory boerewors. Friendly and helpful service.

M. o.

Always great customer service! Lovely meat snacks

C. M.

Great shop and friendly staff..... me and my SAFFA mates meet here and enjoy some home food and doppe... R really nice place!

T. C.

Really great selection of SA produce 🙂 The few times we've been in, the bald chap behind the counter is often short/rude, always feels like it's an inconvenience for him to serve customers.

E. C. D.

A good place for SA food.pity there's no snoek 😎🇿🇦🎺

D. P.

You need to update your Google opening hours!!!

R. D.

A must stop for any Saffer. Good prices as well and lost of choice.

R. M.

Great service, a taste of home and the dude working there gave me a free hat

P. D. P.

Really nice and friendly story with all South African products, feels like you are properly back in South Africa

T. N.

If you need SA nostalgia, this is the place. Excellent biltong, always friendly staff!

T. W.

Nice selection of SA products, pity the biltong is a bit too pricy.

I. M.

A bit price, but overall always happy with the service.

C. M.

Can't beat a little bit of South African creature comforts in the middle on London

A. l.

Can't get enough of the Saffa goodness... Lekker!

K. J.

We decided to make Savanna a must go to shop when we went to London. Superb product range, a really helpful and patient manager and we will make return visits a priority. Brilliant customer service , even had time to discuss recent Rugby results !

C. H.

Great location and great food . Love it .

A. M.

Great 🇿🇦 South African foods and gifts.

I. J.

Top beer and great prices.

j. b.

Essentially specialising in biltong, (in various guises), braaipacks, boerewors, a dabble of ‘branded’ SAfrican foodstuffs, wines and collaterals. While the biltong, pitched at a credible price, is commendable and likely to satisfy even hardcore aficionados, the damp ‘droe-wors’ here consistently disappoints.* A representative selection of SAfrican beers and wines across cultivar, variety and price point. I veld the staff were reasonably product conversant and helpful. *possibly due to humidity?

B. D.

Best biltong and extras in the UK!

K. v. S.

Great biltong and good staff

Z. D.

J. v. d. S.

Great selection and wonderful service

N. J.

I love this place. I mainly order for delivery (boerewors straight to your door, incredible, I know) but I pop by the physical stores when I’m in the area. Their biltong is incredible, best I’ve found in this country anyway. If you need a taste of home and wish to reconnect via foods, this is the place to go Saffas! Lekker!

P. C.

Best shop in London

Love this little shop! It is expensive of course but so worth the price.

Very friendly place, tasty food, good vibes.

(Translated) A very beautiful and tasty surprise. Extra fun for Dutch people, they can speak Dutch with some of the staff, because they speak South African. We opted for the toasted sandwiches (piri piri and bbq). Unbelievable taste, very tasty! Can't we give 6 stars? Thank you!! (Original) Een ontzettend mooie en lekkere verrassing. Voor Nederlanders extra leuk, zij kunnen Nederlands spreken met enkele van het personeel, want zij spreken Zuid-Afrikaans. Wij hebben gekozen voor de tosti’s (piri piri en bbq). Ongelooflijk veel smaak, heel erg lekker! Kunnen we geen 6 sterren geven? Bedankt!!

(Translated) We happened upon this restaurant / shop while looking for a snack. Almost the entire range consists of South African products, which are presented very well. There are also various hot and cold dishes to eat. The Wagyu burger is recommended! I would particularly like to emphasize the warm and open nature of the employees / owners. You feel welcome right away! (Original) Auf der Suche nach einem Snack stolperten wir zufällig in dieses Restaurant/ dieses Geschäft. Fast das ganze Sortiment besteht aus südafrikanischen Produkten, die sehr ansehnlich präsentiert werden. Es gibt auch diverse warme und kalte Gerichte zu essen. Der Wagyu Burger ist zu empfehlen! Ganz besonders hervorheben möchte ich noch die herzliche und offene Art der Angestellten / Besitzer. Man fühlt sich auf Anhieb willkommen!
