Anglo Reviews Summary

Cuisine & Menu

Pros:

• "Each course was richly flavoured and an absolute joy to eat."
• "Simple British cuisine but creative courses beautifully delivered."
• "Anglo has an amazing deal Monday to Wednesday - the development menu is £35 for four inventive and carefully courses."
• "The seven course taster menu is amazing. It's not just the flavours and the unique taste mix but the textures which were really interesting and pushed it that extra star."
• "Each dish was inventive, exciting and bloody delicious."
• "The food was both inventive and stunningly good with intense & deep flavours."
• "Food was brilliant with a nice mix of interesting novel courses with more classic dishes that were also excellent."

Cons:

• "I was not really impressed at being forced to pay £3.75 for a bottle of hand gel."
• "The wines were also really bad spoilt the whole experience."
• "The wines paired with the menu were an interesting and adventurous choice which should be applauded for its whacky temerity but ultimately was wrongheaded and just wrong."
• "There were some absolutely phenomenal courses, some great courses, but also some misses for me (including the scallop supplement)."
• "The last two truffle & cheese (Which should be amazing) and dessert were absolutely rancid!"
• "Somehow, we were left with an unfinished and salty experience."
• "Keep the mise en bouche and the dessert and you're left with a totally wrong seasoning experience."

Service & Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The team were attentive and very knowledgeable about the food and in suggesting what to pair with the courses."
• "Lovely atmosphere, very down to earth and friendly, whilst maintaining the fine dining feel."
• "The atmosphere was lovely as it was nice and quiet."
• "The service was also very kind and friendly."
• "Staff also wonderfully relaxed, attentive, knowledgeable and friendly."
• "The staff were fantastic, giving us an explanation for each course."
• "The staff was very welcoming, took time to explain the dishes and super friendly."

Cons:

• "I thought the service was a bit awkward and inattentive at times."
• "The setting is very average."
• "The area is a ghost town on Saturdays."
• "It does not have a sophisticated interior, I would even dare to say it is very modest."
• "Low rating for ambience if one cares for that sort of thing."
• "Lack of dish explanations, wildly different wait time between courses, no offers of more drink without asking."
• "Very professional and informative table service, but terribly slow delivery of food between courses."

Value & Pricing

Pros:

• "Eating at Anglo is like eating at multi-Michelin starred restaurant, except it's 1/2 the price you might pay elsewhere."
• "The lunch tasting menu at £25 is fantastic value for the quality of food."
• "very good, michelin star value for a really affordable price."
• "For the quality of service, food and drink the price is extremely attractive!"
• "Also, at GBP 80 for a 10-course tasting menu, I think it's probably the best value for fine-dining I've had in London."
• "The Full Tasting Menu is priced at only £85 and the wine pairings at just £45 making this also excellent value for money."
• "Great value."

Cons:

• "This may be a new favorite if only the portions were a tad bit larger."
• "Food portions are smaller than you could possibly imagine, even though it's a tasting menu."
• "The prices charged are high for what it is (60-80 for food and extra 50 for matched wine)."
• "Don't be fooled by the price of the tasting menu though - dinner for two quickly added up to £180 after adding one person had a drink pairing, the other two glasses of wine."
• "The cost of these tiny portions is ridiculously overpriced."
• "Unfortunately and most poignantly, I did not find the food up to the same standard."
• "This is the first time we simply left unfinished plates."
