   My first time dining at the parakeet Really lovely building and split pub restaurant is very cool! Staff are very welcoming and attentive Took a friend to celebrate her 40th birthday and it did not disappoint Small sharing plates and then a main Every dish was clever executed and the flavours were immense 4 small plates, 1 main, 1 side and a good bottle of red fine and was £121 Very very good value for money and I will be returning 100%

   They are very very busy so the turn time is quite sharp. Would have loved a little more time for starters, makes and desserts on a Sunday. (We didn’t have time for desserts as had to move out) But also I guess that’s the vibe - it’s so busy you are lucky to be there etc xxx food v v good and staff lovely

   We had a very unfortunate experience at The Parakeet on Saturday night. I had booked this months ago as a treat for my partner's birthday which was on Saturday. We booked a babysit as it was a special occassion and we rarely get to go out now we've got kids. We were really enjoying our meal when, just as we started our main course, the lights went out and there was a power cut. The dining room filled with smoke as the extractor fan wasn't working. We continued to eat in the dark using our phone torches to see our food (our candle had gone out). Eventually, after about 15 minutes the manager asked us to evacuate the restaurant so we went onto the street with our drinks and waited to find out what was happening. A waiter came over with the card machine and asked us to pay for what we'd had which we did. It came to £157.50 which is a lot of money. He didn't reduce the bill at all and included service even though we ate our mains in the dark in a smokey room with no music and drank our wine on the pavement. Most other tables had just run off without paying. We spoke to the manager who said he would get in touch with us but so far we've not heard anything. Complete with our babysitter costs we've spent £220 on the evening which turned out to be a disaster. I have a friend who owns a similar restaurant and she was very shocked. She said at her restaurant no one would have been asked to pay and they would've apologised profusely. We paid the whole bill including service and have heard nothing.

   The seabream chargrilled was perfect and the oily fish is one of our highlight for the meal. The lamb cutlet was great too. A repeat visit is a must for this place.
