    Everything was absolutely amazing. We had sirloin roast which was cooked to perfection! Such a great atmosphere, you wouldn’t have thought it was January it was buzzing. We never received our cauliflower cheese, and after chasing it up, it was too late we’d finished eating. We just wanted to check it would’nt be on the bill and we were kindly given a free desert! Thanks so much

    Lovely staff who were both knowledgeable and very helpful. Food as excellent as ever. Coped with ease and charm with an unnotified gluten intolerance for one of our party. Parakeet remains the best restaurant in Nw1/3/5
