Reviews
The burger and cocktail I ordered were nice enough but I wasn't a fan of the apple crumble as the custard was watery and there was only one small cube of apple in a berry compote. Pumpkin seeds have no place on a crumble!Food: 3/5
Really nice venue and great location. The tables were pretty. Unfortunately there wasn’t much by way of vibes, staff were polite but service was extremely slow and some orders were wrong despite there being pre orders. The staff didn’t come over particularly happy or experienced and somehow the vibe was just a bit dead. They could have been a lot more welcoming and lively. Main was nice but as a person who doesn’t eat pork or mushrooms and has a nut allergy, there was nothing that I could choose without asking for adjustments. Every vegetarian doesn’t eat nuts and mushrooms and every meat eater doesn’t eat pork! The ox cheek was delicious. The cheese cake didn’t taste as though it was fresh and needed a bit more base but was presented nicely. Overall it was good, could have been better. But we had a nice time anyway. Dietary restrictions: Not much available if you are allergic to nuts, shellfish, or don’t eat pork all three for me. But they will help swap things around to make something that you can eat.
Spent some time enjoying the festival that was going on, and decided to find somewhere to chill for some food - on initial glance we ignored this restaurant as it didn't look like it would be child friendly, but a quick confirmation that they had child menus and that the kids were happy there was something they liked and we were shown to a table. Kids wanted inside, and we had a nice table in a corner with lots of comfy cushions. Food and drink ordered fairly quickly and it didn't take too long to come. Recommend the duck salad. It was very nice. In fact we all enjoyed our meals. The kids meals also came with a desert, which made them very happy! The service was very good, and happily disappeared to get the kids more ketchup when they needed it! A nice place, wasn't overly expensive especially for London, and if visiting the area again would certainly consider coming again.
Went for Christmas Dinner in the restaurant and it was a very pleasant experience! The holiday decorations are superb for which you will feel definitely the holiday season. Christmas cracker on the table was highly appreciated as it makes you feel that they offered extra effort on the holiday dining experience. The staff are very friendly and courteous. The food from starter to dessert were really good especially the mains! Loved and impressed with the good portion and taste of the Christmas Turkey meal. I highly recommend this restaurant!
First class in every way. Superb location, great staff and good food! Atmosphere was warm, busy and friendly. Very reasonably priced dishes that were served by lovely staff!!!Food: 5/5
Private room booking. Decor and the room in general was spectacular. We loved the additions of the blankets and cushions. The room was well sealed off and it even contained a TV which a plethora of shows one could watch! Service was great. Couldn’t fault it. It was the food however which was the disappointment. The starters were lovely, would recommend the calamari. I ordered the goan chicken curry and rice. The curry wasn’t really well flavoured and the rice had hard undercooked grains within in. The steak my friends ordered had to be sent back as it was described as being medium, but was clearly well-well-well done! The churros were over fried - super crispy and didn’t have the soft centre one loves in a churro. I would return for the starters and drinks, but not the mains unfortunately. Didn’t live up to expectation. 10/10 service and ambience though.
Came for a colleague's Leaving drinks. It's a nice, lively bar right by St Paul's. Good atmosphere. Biggest gripe: Small bar area - and not enough staff serving pouring drinks at peak after-work drinks time. You easily wait ages behind a group of women wanting X number of intricate cocktails when all you want is a beer on tap. Speaking of, they didn't have any ale or IPA options on tap. Food was decent
Hosted a couple of guests here. Very poor service. Tea pot came without a tea bag - my guest poured her tea and realised it was just hot water! Coffee was average. No effort made with the presentation of food. Overall would not recommend as a breakfast venue.
My and my office colleagues had been to this place for breakfast and I must say the dishes that we ordered were amazingly tasty. I had ordered full veggie breakfast which had avocado, poached eggs , baked beans, stir fried mushrooms, tomatoes.. The coffee was hot and good. The ambience is lovely. The location of this place is perfect. We had reserved the place so we didn't have to wait or anything. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
The service and decor were excellent. We’re not fussy eaters at all, but unfortunately, the food and drinks were not satisfactory. The white wine was not chilled, both fish dishes were too salty, and only half the mussels had something in them.Food: 2/5
