12:51 By Chef James Cochran Reviews Summary

Tasting Menu Experience

Pros:

• "The tasting menu was honestly mindblowing, and so well priced for the quality of the dishes served."
• "We got the 5 course vegetarian menu. The price was good for the number of portions and quality of the food."
• "Loved the small marmite butter sample they gave us after we sat down."
• "The staff were really nice, and the whole atmosphere quite casual and cozy."
• "My favourite tasting dish was the cured Cornish hake paired with the Austrian Riesling."
• "AMAZING Roast. Hands down the best one I've ever had! The meat is cooked to perfection."
• "The 8 course taster menu includes a glass of fizz and a @sauce_shop 12:51 chilli jam to take home."

Cons:

• "Some of the courses are too complicated with too many ingredients."
• "One of the worst fine dining experiences, 8 course taster menu with bubbly. Food was nothing special."
• "It wasn't perfect, but it was really good. The feather-blade of beef was surprisingly dry and quite fatty."
• "Have to admit I was a little underwhelmed- no star factor here, which I was expecting from all the reviews."
• "Overpriced, not great and you will leave hungry. The vegetarian menu is underwhelming."
• "The vegetarian menu...one of the 'courses' was a small single slice of tomato topped with a tiny amount of goat cheese."
• "The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is that the main course in the 5-course menu varies massively from person to person."

Ambiance and Service

Pros:

• "Really lovely atmosphere in restaurants and staff friendly and professional."
• "Art works on the wall gave extra cosy feeling."
• "The staff were really nice, incredibly helpful and knowledgeable."
• "Fantastic service and staff really tried hard. We had the 8 course tasting menu with the wine pairing."
• "Service was 10/10, refreshing to be served by waitresses who were knowledgeable & professional."
• "Friendly attentive staff. We had the 8 course tasting menu with the wine pairing."

Cons:

• "The restaurant itself is very tight, sitting isn't comfortable, furnishing is more on the cheaper side."
• "The only draw back of this restaurant is the space itself. The restaurant is small, with one table being hit by the door every time it opens."
• "The table size might be questionable, because a little bit small for 3-4 people."
• "Unfortunately, the meal started with an example of general restaurant douchebaggery. We decided to order the Goat, so got a few ‘snacks’ to start with."
