    Highly enjoyable lunch, really interesting flavours for the Sunday set menu especially the scotch egg. Seasoning was on point with everything being at its max of deliciousness so cannot complain. Service was great from start to finish, we found a small piece of plastic in our buratta so informed the server. They comped us some dessert which was a nice surprise. We left feeling like the place had superb hospitality, it was very relaxing and hit on all levels. Can’t wait to come back to try to tasting menu.

    Really enjoyed the format of the restaurant. The chefs descriptions for each dish were enlightening and increased ones enjoyment of the food. Good value for London. Really enjoyed the carrot dish in particular. Location is new and has plenty of space. Will go again in a couple of months when the menu changes. Nice service. Good wine that was paired to the dishes.

    Not quite sure what this place is - member's club? restaurant? bar? I had to rather awkwardly an ungraciously push past the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, reading carols to find my table, which was...unexpected. But all I can tell you is that the food was delicious and the service was lovely.
