From the moment that we arrived we were made to feel welcome and valued! Cocktails were enjoyed as we made our choice from a range of French Classic dishes with a modern twist. Confit of Duck a L’Orange and the Bourguignon were chosen, followed by French cheese for two. A very reasonably priced Red Wine, a Granache added to our delight.

A delicious meal in lovely surroundings. The staff were very attentive and paid particular attention to the fact that my husband is a Coeliac and required gluten free food. Our first visit to the Chislehurst branch. We will be back!

We had a table booked for 7.00pm and were lucky to be seated by the window with a fantastic view of Tower Bridge and The Shard. Having been to 14 Hills previously we know that the restaurant is beautifully decorated and added to this were some lovely Christmas decorations. I ordered the Sea Bream, which was outstanding. My partner ordered the Turkey dinner but unfortunately his food was luke warm and the meat quite tough. He complained and was offered an alternative which was quickly brought to our table. Overall an enjoyable evening and thankfully the complaint was dealt with quickly and professionally. Would definitely go back.
