I really like the appetizers in this place. The food was amazing. The service was top notch. The drinks were very special! Will come back!

Stopped in for a bite after a day of site seeing. Had a pint, the Spicy Chicken Thighs and the Buttermilk Chicken Burger. Service was on point and the food and drink were satisfying. No complaints. read more

Bumpkin - SPICY CHICKEN THIGHS - British Near Me - London, XGL

See all

A reliable food stop in Westfield - I usually choose it for brunch but it was only when we sat down that my sister and I realised it was already 1pm! Time flies on a Saturday morning out window-shopping... They serve the brekkie menu til noon so the lunch menu it was. I couldn't choose between the pulled pork wrap or the veggie wrap (it would've been no contest but the veg one was calling to me with goats cheese!). Thankfully I was reminded that having sisters is the best thing in the world - she felt exactly the same way so we got both and swapped half :) They were fine, but nothing mind-blowing. I enjoyed the goats cheese but there could've been more grilled veggies in the filling, while the pork one was tasty when hot but it was my own fault for chatting too much and letting it get cold woops. A generous side of chips arrived with both too. I think the food is overpriced for what it is, but I do love the quirky pretty decor here and also had a mild girl crush on our waitress because I liked the way she smiled with her eyes - it made her seem very genuine in taking care of us! Enough to boost it to four-stars and ensure that I'll be back (before 12 next time)... read more

Bumpkin - That's a wrap. - British Near Me - London, XGL

We came here after a 10k race, in the rain, from the other side of Queen Elizabeth Park - and none of us had had breakfast so we were starving! Naturally, I would've thought any old place would be five stars because, really, when you're hungry, everything tastes amazing - right? :-) We were told that our table was being made, so the waitress directed us to the bar for some drinks. About 10 minutes later, she ushered us over to a table by the window. It was raining and cold outside, and while not raining indoors at Bumpkin... it was still bloody cold! Cool interior which i'm a sucker for. It has a rustic feel to it, and high ceilings. Good signs! We ordered a couple of burgers and a pie with hot tea and hot chocolate as drinks. This meal set us back ~60 GBP for a main and a drink. Money aside... how was the meal? The buns on the burgers were disappointingly dry, as though they had been left outside for a few days. The pie - steak and ale - tasted more like steak and salt... If you do come here, don't make it your first choice - and bring a bottle of water with you. Watch out for the 15% service charge they tack on the bottom of your bill which is labelled as "OPT" but still included in the grand total. read more

I've been to this Bumpkin restaurant twice now; the first time on the day after it had first opened. I really like this restaurant - I think it's quite simple and relaxed. I like the open kitchen, although both times I have been facing the head chef, which scares me (purely because I've watched a lot of Hell's Kitchen!). Anyhow, the service here is friendly and unintimidating. I like the menu because it changes with the seasons (although, I've yet to witness the change). We've tried a few things on the menu now - the portebello mushroom is a favourite, but hands-down the best dish on the menu is the pork belly! It comes beautifully presented with two generous pieces of pork belly, on top of some savoy cabbage and puree of celeriac. Really homely and really tasty (the pork crackling is done really well!). Mmm... I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! I've not tried desserts yet, because we're always too full to get there. But the descriptions are amazing - there at least 3-4 that I want to try including sticky toffee pudding and chocolate cake... now that I think about it, maybe it's worth another visit this week! read more

This place is amazing, I went here over the Christmas period and it was so good, it was delicious, I had a 2 course meal (Consisting of starter and main) For starters, I got handmade sausage roll, which was huge, but as a bonus on the side they have bacon and pork crackling, I love crackling! it was all top notch stuff, so damn good. Main, I had fish and chips, this fish and chips was delightful. You don't expect the best from somewhere that isn't a dedicated fish restaurant or somewhat close it. The fish was so crisply battered and as soon as I touched it with my knife, it was as if it was silk to cut through. The fish itself, so nice, I enjoyed every bite, the chips even better, they were unbelievably crisp. Service was good, they didn't pester us, if I needed a refill of drink, they were quick and snappy about it. They were also very polite, which goes down well with any customer. They were also happy to move us when I asked, as one table was wobbling. Loved it. read more

Take a break from shopping in Westfield and settle down to some hearty British dishes in Stratford. Bumpkin has four locations across London, which should in theory make it a chain, however, it has still retained some individual love. There is no shortage of places to eat in Westfield Stratford, but this is one of the external offerings with bags of natural daylight. Dishes are reasonably priced with a varied range of fish and meat options. Starters include an interesting take on our ole fave "prawn cocktail", with a crayfish cocktail served with virgin mary dressing. Mains are easily recogniszable with Steak, Half Chicken, Salmon Wellington and there is an imaginative veg option of pearl barley risotto with foraged mushrooms and chevril roots. We had portobello mushroom with brie and fresh sage as a starter. Mains were the Aberdeen angus burger with chips and char-grilled chicken Caesar salad with an anchovy dressing. Simple, served and enjoyed. Will pop in again for sure on my next shop til you drop session. read more

Bumpkin is a small chain of London restaurants who offer a taste of seasonal Britain working with local farmers in order to use the best, sustainable and ethically sourced British ingredients. The Westfield branch certainly has a welcoming homely feel to it despite its size (it's spread out over two floors and also has a large outdoor terrace which was absolutely rammed with people that scorching Sunday lunchtime). We were seated in a quiet upstairs section to peruse the menu. Being Sunday there was a roast on the menu and when that happens there really isn't any other choice is there? This was one of the biggest roast dinners I have ever had and I barely made a dent in it despite my hunger! They even offer you extra roast potatoes if you have room. I did find the half onion on the side a bit of a random addition but it certainly didn't detract from the meal. Everything from the chicken to the veggies to the yorkshire was cooked to my liking and there was just the right amount of gravy too - I hate a stingy portion of gravy! I really couldn't fault this meal at all apart from the fact that we didn't have time for puddings but that was totally our fault and not the restaurants. I'll definitely have to return to try some of the other delicious looking items on the menu. read more

I had the duck special with tomato soup. The duck had a wonderful sauce and the vegetables were fresh and tasty. read more

Bumpkin - British Near Me - London, XGL

This place has great Mac N Cheese and excellent drinks well done There's always room for improvement Your staff need to give customers their privacy while eating not just smiling at them anyhow read more

Bumpkin is a roomy restaurant with a great British menu. Friendly and attentive service. I had the leek and potato soup as a starter, it was a huge portion! A bit disappointing that it only came with toast and not proper bread rolls. Their pies were amazing, I had the charter pie, it was packed full of meat. The mash was a tad tasteless but it was overall a good main. I like that you get a choice between gravy and a parsley sauce. I was so full that I didn't have room for dessert. Another thing worth mentioning is their cocktails. I had the English Garden and it came in a large glass, it was tasty and a good size for £8. read more

Bumpkin is my new favourite place to eat in Westfield Stratford City. It was always on my food bucket list and I finally got to dine here last Sunday. My instincts that sparked the first time I walked passed this restaurant were correct. This place was good. Good as in good decor, good feel, good service, and good food. I went for a roast dinner with beef. It came with horse radish and veg. The yorkshire pudding was a tad over cooked and hence the reason why I've knocked off a star. My mate went for the pork belly, which I had a taste of. It was melt in your mouth! For dessert, I was a bit fussy and preferred to have ice cream with my chocolate cake instead of coffee cream. The waiter had no problem in sorting that out for me. I was happy. Perhaps TOO happy. Anyway, it's definitely perfect for a Christmas roast this season, or for lunch and dinner on any given day! read more

I went to Bumpkin with bunch of friends to recover our empty stomachs after a chilly winter 10K race. We were presented with a free table after some considerable wait (but considering my average train delay this week considerably quickly). The food on the offer is... not matching the interior of the venue. The Bumpkin Bar looks pretty hip and like a place where you want to have your gourmet meal or something off the British cuisine. However, the food unfortunately didn't deliver on this occasion. The well-done burger that I ordered was having only last bits of the juice and was drying out pretty quickly. The char aroma of it reminded me of the need to ventilate the cooking area to avoid carbon monoxide contamination. In other words, the meat was burnt. The brioche was ok, so were the add-ons (avocado and jalapenos). However, the burger didn't feel as one whole piece. The ingredients seemed to be quite isolated from each other. It felt more like a collection of: brioche, meat and add-ons (red onions which came for free). Maybe there was not enough dressing/chutney to join them or the dry, burnt burger aroma killed the texture and thus connection. Nevertheless, there was something missing in this burger. The tea was ok but nothing really exciting. The bill was pretty high and I think it's fair to say that the food didn't match the price point of the place. Otherwise, it's a fine venue if you judge the place by the looks. Maybe I'll try fish&chips next time ? read more

This has to be the most disorganized place in London. My second visit here during my trip to the Uk. Nice people location location what a shame. This place could double it's taking especially during busy periods. Easy to run a restaurant when you only have a couple of punters. The acid test is when you get busy!!! Not for me guys read more

My partner and I went here last night. It was my first time but my partner had been a couple of times previously. I will start with a negative. Once seated we were promptly given the drinks that we ordered. I had a Bumpkin Beer which was really nice. However, trying to order another drink after that was a struggle. I continually tried to get someone's attention to order another drink but was unable to until someone came to collect our plates once we had finished our meal. Once my main meal arrived I was asked if I wanted any condiments. I said that I would like mayo. Once I had almost finished my meal the mayo arrived. I would be more understanding if the place was busy, but it wasn't. Basically I think that the staff need to be more attentive and quicker, although my partner who had been a couple of times before assured me that he had always had a good experience there previously. Maybe they were just understaffed on this occasion. However, Bumpkin has many positives. The venue is really nice, I really liked the decor and theme of the place. It has an outside seating area which would have been lovely if the weather was nicer but obviously Bumpkin can't be held responsible for that. The staff were really friendly and funny and the food was absolutely delicious! I had mushrooms and Brie as a starter, and although I was expecting a bit more mushroom, once I started eating it I forgot all about that because it tasted so good! I had a Bumpkin burger and chips for my main and it was so good that I didn't mind so much that I didn't have my mayo. The chips were so nice that Mayo might have even spoiled them. All in all I would recommend going to Bumpkin because I will definitely be going back. read more

After a look around the shops we decided to pop into Bumpkin as it looked inviting and friendly. It wasn't until we sat down we realised how expensive the restaurant was. I like the ethos of local food that's in season but don't understand why it has to be expensive? Our waiter was quite surrly which was a shame. We ordered Sunday lunch which on arrival was £17.95 each. When it came to our table it was £16.95. We don't understand why the change and they tried to charge us £17.95 at the end of the meal. The roast was beautifully cooked and we were offered choices of how the meat would come out. It didn't look like a huge portion but it was actually just about right. The meat and veg were very tasty as was the gravy. I don't understand why other people were served with Yorkshire Puddings and we were not though. There was no explanation for this. I though I'd have a soft drink as it was a warm day. This was a mistake. £5 for a lemonade. Half a cider was £2. As I said the bill was incorrect and to add insult to injury they slapped on £5 service charge. I got the bill changed but didn't expect the sorrowful explanation from the waiter that he gets not cut and it wouldn't matter to him if we were charged more cause he sees no benefit. He may have been trying to explain that he doesn't set the prices but it doesn't explain how the price changed mid meal. The meal was nice but not worth the price. The restaurant was airy although the music was too loud and the staff weren't as attentive or friendly as they could be. Nice experience. Nice not to have to go home and cook a roast dinner but I don't feel like I've had a £50 meal (total cost for two drinks (1 soft) and 2 roast dinners). read more

Had lunch here with my mum last week, nice courtyard so could make most of sunshine. Staff were attentive and took order swiftly. Had fish and chip wrap and Scottish pancakes. Portions were big and good value for money. The milkshake was delicious and homemade lemonade yummy. Would come here again. Good British menu, nice inside and the toilets were nice, always helps :) read more

Great service and awesome food. We had the minced beef & onions and the fried chicken. Both were exceptional and exceeded our expectations. We will definitely return! read more

My wife and I visited bumpkin during the last week of the Olympics. We were seated in a timely manner being the olympics were next door. Then everything went sour for us. Our appetizers arrived at our table before our drinks, then we finished our appetizer, and still no drinks(20min). Then we get our food, which look rather delicious, but unable to enjoy because there were no condiments to come with the burger and fish&chips.(tartar sauce, mayo, ketchup). I asked for condiments and had a Rude waitress snap at me and say "yeah ok" (never arrived). I even had to wait for some one to collect my bill(30min). I was in London for 3 days and everything was going great until the last day, Thanks Bumpkin for the poor service and last memory of London. read more

Brilliant food, great for an evening after the shops close. It's got a good British menu and atmosphere.

We (3 adults, 2 children) visited Bumpkin on Mother's Day 2013 for lunch. We weren't looking for anything fancy; just good food reasonably priced, unfortunately we left an hour later disappointed and prepared to inform others to avoid at all cost. I won't go into the full details as it would be an extremely long review but if it wasn't for hungry toddlers we would have left earlier than we did. Suffice to say the service and food was of a poor standard and made you wish that you'd taken the money and ordered a take away or gone to a fast food chain. One of the children's meals came with the starter which was fine, however when we enquired where the other meal was, was told it would be there shortly. After repeated requests, almost 15minutes later and with the first child practically finished his meal, the second child received his meal - chicken breast with mash potato. No sauce, gravy or vegetables. Therefore wasn't surprised when only a quarter of it was eaten. Shortly after we received two mains (chicken roast dinner) and had to wait another 5 minutes for the third adult's main course which was steak. I am uncertain where the difficulty is in ensuring that courses for a table arrive in its entirety rather than in staggered stages but presume it is standard practice for a restaurant. But it's clear that it's a standard that Bumpkin struggle to achieve, let alone excel at. It was particularly galling as when we arrived at 1pm and on ordering shortly afterward noticed it still wasn't very busy, which was confirmed by our full view of the kitchen. The steak was ordered very well done and arrived as medium rare. When it was returned it was still rare in the middle and medium elsewhere. There was no confidence that if it was returned to the kitchen a new and not the same piece of meat would arrive (again!) at the table as ordered. The chicken roast was small, flavourless, poor quality and not worth the price charged (3 tiny potatoes, 1 giant Yorkshire pudding, chicken quarter and unpalatable vegetables). When we asked for the bill and requested that the steak meal and service were removed, was asked why we didn't mention if there was a problem or returned the meal. It was clear when the reply 'to return for a second time' our waitress wasn't even aware that the meal had been returned at all. Where is the communication in the restaurant or required level of professionalism which guarantee that whilst you do not complete every task for your tables you are aware of what has occurred - you are after all overseeing the service? We were glad to make our escape from the incredibly loud music which meant by the end we'd had stopped trying to scream at each other to be heard and only talked to the person next to us, to have dessert elsewhere. Summary: poor all round read more

I liked the restaurant and the staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble, even moving tables twice. The food however; I was a little dissapointed at my burger which was 15.00 with chips and didnt actually come medium as i had asked, the bread and oil didnt turn up and two very expensive glasses of wine appeared on our bill which was a shock, the same thing happened at Jamies Italian last month a bottle of wine appeared from nowhere, maybe its a Westfileds thing????? read more
