The Coal Shed One Tower Bridge Reviews Summary

Vegetarian Options

Pros:

• "I ordered the only vegetarian option on the menu - 'Woodfire Roasted cauliflower (what a disappointment) the coriander dressing was too bitter for me."

Cons:

• "A slice of cauliflower for £20, I would have been better off with a bowl of chips and a salad!"

• "The service was spot on. The waiter was very attentive, though not annoying."
• "Was served by Kay and Jay, who delivered by far the best service!!!"

• "No one came to ask if we wanted more drinks until our meal was finished."
• "The service was ok but slow, not overly attentive they could easily have asked if we wanted an extra drink or if our meal was ok."
• "I ordered food and was reminded 3 times they were about to close, after I had already ordered."

Food Quality

• "The steak I ordered was undercooked. The steak my partner ordered was overcooked."

Value for Money

• "The food fantastic, the wine list superb, and the ambiance incredible."

Cons:

• "But charging 3,5£ for a sauce when the steak already cost 30£ and you get a tiny pot of liquid flavored with peppercorns."
• "The main to arrive. The prime rib was flavoursome but on the overcooked side."
• "I would have expected much better for the money I paid."
• "It's not cheap but it's no McDonalds."
