Megan’s on the Hill brings its signature charm to Balham with a space that feels part fairy tale, part local favourite. Set on Bedford Hill, this magical corner of south London is the kind of place where you pop in for brunch and find yourself still there come dinner - and maybe booking your next birthday while you’re at it.
Inside, it’s all bright conservatories, twinkling lights and an easygoing buzz that makes everyone feel like a regular. There’s a semi-private dining room for more intimate gatherings, and plenty of room for walk-ins, so whether you're planning ahead or flying by the seat of your kebab-loving pants, Megan’s on the Hill has you covered.
The menu leans loosely Mediterranean, with bold, sunshine-soaked flavours and lots to share (because at Megan’s, sharing is kind of a thing). To start, load the table with beetroot hummus, hot honey halloumi, spinach and feta parcels and the legendary crispy fondue - yes, that’s cheese fondue with crispy shallots and bacon, and yes, you need it.
Mains are hearty, colourful and generously portioned. Kebab skewers come in everything from chicken thigh and lamb kofte to halloumi and charred oyster mushrooms, all served with Megan’s signature garlic yoghurt. If you’re after something lighter, grain bowls and vibrant mezze plates bring all the texture and flavour without the food coma.
Megan’s also has a real soft spot for parties. Those theatrical sharing boards (raised above the table like edible centrepieces) make a regular appearance, and the team are pros at helping you throw a celebration that feels relaxed, fun, and just a bit extra. Whether it’s a brunch gathering, birthday dinner or low-key engagement party, the space is as photogenic as the food.
Community is at the heart of Megan’s, and that spirit flows through everything from the friendly team to the fact that 20% of filtered water sales go to local charities. Add in a great drinks list, a laid-back vibe, and the kind of food that sparks a tableful of “Can I try that?” moments, and Megan’s on the Hill is an easy yes - whatever the occasion.
