Goldies’ menu focuses on the use of a wood-fired grill, with a selection of small and large plates connected by rich, smoky flavours. Highlights include a Merguez Scotch Egg with harissa mayonnaise, Marinated Baby Chicken with smoked yoghurt, and Grilled Wild Mushrooms, Baby Leek, and a confit egg yolk. In a nod to the founders’ French roots, variations of the iconic Frites are the signature of the restaurant, which are hand-cut and twice-cooked, in either beef dripping or vegetable oil.

The design of the space is centred on the expertise of wood-fired cooking, with kitchen counter seating to create a dramatic dining experience for guests. The interiors are cosy, with contemporary decoration, terracotta warm tones and a groovy musical atmosphere. Goldies features a noteworthy terrace that fits 30 guests.

    Another superb supper in the charming and inspired Goldies. Finally got around to trying the Pork - that crispy and crunchy coating was top-notch Japanese level... so beautifully made and utterly unctious. As too were the new Beef Shin coquette - evidence that Will and his Team and forever thinking about their creations and tinkering to upscale their endeavours. It's a all a beautiful fusion between the immense achievements of the food and the sheers unpretentiousness of it all. You can't order badly - it's all unified, coherent and underpinned by philosophy and skill. Brilliant stuff.

    All a bit average. Disappointing given the reviews on social media. The food is ok but not great. They definitely rely on the smoke rather than layering on flavour. Service feels inexperienced and we were being rushed to finish at just after an hour. Many better restaurants in London

    The staff were friendly whilst being efficient. The food was excellent and varied. I would particularly recommend the hot honey courgette frites and the chips cooked in beef dripping,

    Food was very tasty, and staff were very accommodating of us booking with 2 young children (both under 4). All I would say is staff were very quick to clear tables as soon as the last bite of food went in, which was a little frustrating. They seemed to want to tidy up quickly and hurry you out. Something that’s not welcomed when trying to enjoy a meal. But overall setting and location is perfect.

    Hi Sophie, thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback and we are sorry that not everything was perfectly right- we are always happy to improve under all aspects and meet our customers requests. Hope to see you soon again at Goldies!

    Everything was really drenched in oil, the salads and mains, and the dips are all egg based. The broccoli wasn’t so much charred as cremated. It needs a lot less oil and a lot more freshness on the herbs, dips etc. The restaurant also needs a better extractor as the room (and now my hair) smells of meat fat which is not so great.

    Not much to look at (Formica top tables) but really worth going to for food quality and service. A very enjoyable long lunch with friends

    My friend and I dined here, we really enjoyed it. We want to come back to try more, but the lady who served us (not sure of her name) but all of her recommendations were great. Look forward to coming again.

    Staff were cool, but the food was really average. And they were really poor when it came a friend who has good allergens - and putting it right was also really missing. Service was good otherwise. Overall, 2/5.
