Cons:

  • "The macaroni cheese side was cold and pretty tasteless."
  • "Food was underwhelming, tired, uninspired, style over substance."
  • "Chicken overall lacked flavour and the potato was undercooked."

Cons:

  • "The price tag looked a bit steep."
  • "The food was pretty expensive, good quality but nothing stunning or very inventive."
  • "Also 47 quid for bottomless brunch is a lot considering your not using fresh orange juice either."
  • "Came for a Sunday roast and basically there are plenty of places in London you can get much better for the same price. Standards were just a little low across the board: food under seasoned and dry, roast potatoes undercooked, staff a little slow, etc etc."
  • "Food was ok but the portions small for the price."
  • "The price is a rip off."
  • "We left hungry & very disappointed having spent £70 a head."

Ambience

Pros:

  • "My son wasn't keen on the music - standard pop background stuff - but I just blocked it out."
  • "Gives the impression of being a classy restaurant but football on big screens people standing around drinking like it’s a pub."
  • "Very drafty tables close to the walls and main door."
  • "Gives a pub like feeling in an establishment that charges middle market prices."
  • "The venue at the old spot felt a little sterile."
  • "The venue is bright and airy with a lovely, relaxed vibe."
