At Kumquat, every dish is inspired by authentic Asian cuisine, crafted by Chef Patron Alex Boyd.
With nearly 30 years of experience in Michelin-starred restaurants and prestigious hotels in London and Hong Kong, Alex has worked with renowned chefs like Joel Robuchon and Pierre Koffman.
He earned two AA rosettes as Executive Chef at the 4 AA Red Starred Hotel St Ermin’s and led the kitchens at Mansion House, cooking for dignitaries, royalty, and world leaders.
Inspired by the flavours of Asia, Alex combines classical dishes with modern techniques to create a dynamic menu.
We source only the finest ingredients, and our selection of handcrafted cocktails, wines, and beers complements the menu perfectly.
Whether you're enjoying a multi-course meal or a casual snack, Kumquat's vibrant yet elegant atmosphere is ideal for any occasion—whether dining with friends, family, or clients.
We look forward to welcoming you soon.

    Two main courses (½ of the available non veggie ones) were unavailable which was rather annoying. What we did get was good, but the menu was restrictive with the missing items. Service was slow, took about 30 mins to get one of the drinks.

    Me and my girlfriend had an absolutely lovely Valentine’s Day meal. It was very busy and booked up with a smooth in and out system but the staff handled this expertly. The food was absolutely delicious and we’d definitely return for a meal again in future. The restaurant looked lovely and it was nice to see that such an effort had been made. The Valentine’s photo was a particularly nice touch! A lovely night.

    Surprisingly tasty food and combinations. I wasn’t expecting the quality. This was, however, the valentines set menu. The wine list had the wrong St Emillon on (or they only held a different one to the one on the list). The price should have been about £40 not £54. I didn’t bother asking and they apologised for the mismatch. Loved the food.

    The food was very nice and staff very attentive. What wasn’t appreciated was the 90 minute timeframe to eat our meal.

    This was our third visit and the food and service was exceptional as it has always been before. Varied imaginative menu with lots of options for veggies and meat eaters alike. Can particularly recommend the red curry sweetcorn fritters - superb.
