Anyone who knows me, knows I love a rooftop bar (check out my guide to London’s top rooftop bars here), and Savage Garden’s Pinsa & Spritz bottomless brunch delivers the full London-from-above fantasy. Perched high over the City, it’s the sort of Saturday that starts with a “wow” at the panoramic views and quickly turns into “we’re definitely staying for another spritz.” It’s a spot where as soon as you sit down you just know you’re not going to want to leave, and as soon as you taste the food and drinks, your fate is sealed! Here’s what we thought of Savage Garden Bottomless Brunch.
First impressions
I arrived just after midday and the room was already buzzing with a DJ setting the tempo, sunlight catching the skyline, and those signature blush-pink touches popping against slate greys and glass. It feels glam without being pretentious; you can come with the girls, celebrate a birthday, or just treat yourself to a city day that feels a little extra.
The Concept of Savage Garden Bottomless Brunch (and why it works)
Savage Garden’s Pinsa & Spritz bottomless brunch offers a 90-minute, bottomless take on Roman-style pinsa (lighter, airier than a traditional pizza) paired with a line-up of curated spritzes. The result? A brunch that knocks others out the park. You’ll feast on crispy-edged dough with bold toppings, and sip cocktails designed to refresh rather than knock you out. It’s playful, pacey, and very shareable.
The Food at Savage Garden Pinsa & Spritz Bottomless Brunch
I started with What a Jerk! a delicious meld of jerk-spiced chicken, grilled pineapple, a hit of plantain ketchup and pineapple sriracha, finished with a glossy drizzle of Japanese mayo. It sounds chaotic; it eats like a sunshine holiday. It was light, packed with flavour and the ideal accompaniment to the Spritz cocktails.
The friend I was with opted for Swim Swim—smoked salmon, red onion, crispy capers, dill cream cheese and citrus sour cream. Clean, salty, bright and perfect against the richer pinsas.
For those who was something punchier, Beef Talkin’ Pizza! packs ssamjang-flavoured pulled beef, tenderstem broccoli, creamy burrata and hot-honey chilli. It’s the table favourite for good reason!
Veggies and vegans aren’t sidelined: Say Hello to my Little Artichoke (marinated artichoke, wilted spinach, courgette ribbons, pickled mint) is herby and elegant, while Lean & Green brings crushed chickpeas, turmeric-roasted cauli and melty vegan cheese, offering a dish that’s comforting and delicious.
Sides? Get the truffle parmesan fries (of course), and if you’re feeling indulgent the loaded fries with pulled beef and cheese are unapologetically decadent.
Dessert wise you won’t be disappointed. You must try the Pandan & Coconut (a warm pandan bun with coconut ice cream and raspberry) which was wonderfully aromatic and creamy, while Le Frenchy Toast comes pink, berry-loaded and unapologetically Instagrammable. At £6 extra, it’s an easy yes to share.
The Drinks
Head mixologist Alessandro Lintas has built a spritz list that actually earns its keep. Ciao Bella, a mix of Tokubetsu Sake, green apple and basil liqueurs, elderflower & cucumber, topped with Bottega Prosecco, is crisp, floral and just a touch fruity. If you’re not drinking, Amore De Zio (Lyre’s Amaretti, Everleaf Forest, kombucha) is sophisticated: nutty, botanical, and delicious.
Vibe & service
Music up, mood high, staff on it. Dishes landed quickly, glasses were topped up without chasing. The team were also happy to steer us through the menu so we could try a bit of everything in the 90-minutes. It’s bottomless brunch without the chaos. Where you can savour the moment (and the views) and catch up with friends in a chilled yet refined setting.

The Seen in the City verdict
Savage Garden has nailed bottomless brunch: views, vibe, and a menu that feels creative without trying too hard. The pinsa is light enough to keep you going, and the spritz list is genuinely interesting (alcoholic and not). Come for the skyline, stay for the jerk-pineapple-hot-honey situation, and leave already planning your next visit.
