Service
Pros:
"Our server, Johnny was professional, polite and works very hard."
"Service was great and nice vibe!"
"Lucy was our waitress, she was warm and welcoming and took time to explain the menu and offer suggestions on the wine and dishes to try."
"Service was impeccable..Barry and his team were attentive and it shows that they really enjoy what they are doing!"
"The staff were so lovely and friendly, which is a rare find in London."
"The staff were incredibly courteous and knowledgeable - they had no trouble talking in detail about the wine or suggesting pairings with the food."
"The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating with our requests."
Cons:
"Waiters were functional but didn't add anything to the experience."
"Found our waiter barely spoke English."
"Although the service was great, we were told numerous times that we had to order quickly as they needed the table back (which made us feel uncomfortable)."
"But 3 stars is because, in these covid times, having someone with a cough taking orders and serving is just irresponsible."
"The overall feeling I got from this restaurant wasn’t welcoming at all."
"The service was very slow at the beginning, then super fast, then super slow at the point that we received a dish we forgot we had ordered when the bill came."
"We were asked to leave in 90 minutes which just felt rushed."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Great food, relaxed vibe."
"Amazing food served on 'small plates'. British cuisine done right!"
"Food was just perfect in every point, well season, fresh and full of flavours."
"Definitely try the chorizo and kale dish, its not to be missed!"
"The food was exceptional, very fresh, well cooked and beautifully presented (the short rib was a particular highlight)."
"The food is out of this world. Extremely special, and fresh tasting."
"Food sourced from their own farm & cooked to perfection."
Cons:
"Desert was a bit too sweet but this seems to be a common theme in British themed restaurants."
"The main (monkfish) was not good and the desserts were disappointing."
"Don’t come here too hungry because even the mains felt like tapas dishes."
"Unfortunately it was inconsistent, the lamb was really bland and we finished dinner rather hungry."
"Really disappointing meal- John Dorry fish which was not fresh.. covered in sales to disguise it."
"Overcooked dry trout, on top of all sloppy sauces tasting of nothing."
"The food was an another disappointment. It lacked taste despite using fresh ingredients and so on."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Warm and cozy atmosphere, very nice staff and great flavors."
"Place is cosy and has a good hustle and bustle feel to it."
"What a find. Cosy place just off the hustle and bustle of Notting Hill."
"The interior decorations are just as unique as the food and large mirrors accompanied with roof windows makes the place look surprisingly spacious!"
"Very cosy place. It gives you a very warm and relaxing feel when dining in there."
"Great atmosphere, not too loud, very welcoming."
"The atmosphere really make this place cosy, it's very nicely decorated."
Cons:
"It's best to know tables are pretty close to each other, so while it's great for couples or small groups it's probably not one for a quiet and intimate night out."
"Seats small and uncomfortable and the room was rather noisy so not the most relaxing ambience."
"The seating was very uncomfortable. The chairs were shaky and the two people staying on the chairs could not avoid touching legs. The couch was leaning forward."
"It’s a small place but they could still put more effort, like other bars and restaurants in the area do, and make people feel more comfortable."
"The chairs are very uncomfortable."
"Space isn't massive."
"Very cozy, almost a little too cozy. Cushions were comfy but tables were very small for three people to fit."
Value
Pros:
"Good value for money."
"Prices are quite 'robust' yet I feel with quality, flavours and range of vegetarian foods, it is justified."
"The £25 tasting menu is incredibly good value for money and all absolutely delicious."
"The value for money you get is really fair and recommended to try it out."
"Although menus like this are not cheap the Shed is a lot better value for money than a lot of restaurants offering this kind of menu."
"I think they are reasonable by comparison to London prices generally as the service and quality was good."
"Very cosy and relaxing place to enjoy well prepared, fresh food with excellent vegetarian choices."
Cons:
"Value for money, I believe it is a bit expensive."
"About £120 with a drink, entree and mains."
"130 pounds for 2 was excessive in my opinion."
"Overall still quite pricey with very small portions."
"Certainly not worth £40 per person for sharing plates and a small glass of wine."
"But on the pricy side - 130£ for two with one bottle of wine."
