Best Modern European Restaurants in Standon

Dinner with 4 friends, sat on the left inside, behind the welcome desk, looked like the dining section. Food was great (had halloumi skewers with side of lentils, very tasty). Great desserts too. The place was packed (xmas time). Friendly staff,

Ourselves and two other couples get together once a month for a meal at different restaurants and pubs. We chose the Sword in Hand as it has a good reputation for food, and isn’t far from where we live. The meal was exquisite, 4 of us having the “Christmas pie” and thoroughly enjoyed it. The other 2 had chicken schnitzel, and fish and chips, who also had no complaints. The service was impeccable, giving extra commendation to the younger staff who were very attentive, ensuring we were happy with the meals and drinks. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Having wanted to dine at The Ivy since I was 20 and now late 50's it was one of my favourite experiences in London with my children. It did not disappoint. The service was superb, the waiter quickly realised my son has special needs and reacted accordingly, without judgement or prejudice, which was a refreshing change from other London venues we have been to. The food was the best I have had in years. Thank you!

Great food and very personable service. Delay between starters and main was extended but overall was good experience.

Staff members were amazing and attentive. The fried rice was definitely the stand out dish but all dishes and wine’s were amazing. Overall, I had a great time
