There was outdoor areas with lighting, but a tad too cold out. Cute areas though. They were pretty busy as well and luckily we got a good table. Wait staff were friendly, pace of service was a little slower than what I'm used to. Had to hail someone down quite a bit, but overall food was great. We started out with cocktails because there was a special, happy hour going on. Potted Devon crab with avocado guacamole and chicken liver parfait. Not sure why I expected the Devon crab to be hot.... but it was tasty. I craved a couple more pieces of toast. I got the duck leg confit with citrus sauce and my friend got St. Austell's Tribute Steak and Ale pie. The duck was delicious. Perfectly cooked, sauce went well with it. The Dauphinoise potato, I wanted more so badly. My plate was cleaned except for the bones. The steak and ale pie was not bad, my friend enjoyed it. We finished dinner off with their pistachio soufflé. I asked what was recommended for dessert, never had a pistachio soufflé before, and it was rich and sweet. Offset by the chocolate ice cream, which had a slight bitterness to it. Perfect combination. The table next to us got the chateaubriand for two. That looked amazing and had my mouth watering. If I'm ever back in the area, I do plan on making another trip hopefully.

I am always a fan of a good country pub. We were two thirds of hour way round a Sunday country walk…read moreand found ourselves a bit peckish and in need of some refreshment. This place definitely delivered. We sat outside in their pleasant garden. Only downside is it's not south facing so wasn't in the sun. We got a bit chilly after a while so we moved to one of their tables with a heater. Much more cosy. Service was very friendly. They brought some water and offered biscuits to our dog (always a winner). Food was excellent. The beetroot and burrata salad was particularly tasty and beautifully presented. Potted shrimp was also very tasty. It gets 4 rather than 5 because it is a little expensive. Worth it but still a bit pricey for a pub. We would definitely return if we were in the area as there were a lot of delectable sounding items on the menu.

I brought my wife here for a birthday dinner. We recently moved back from the San Francisco Bay…read moreArea where I had lived for 15 years. That area is awash with world-class restaurants owned/run by top-name chefs. We had many opportunities to indulge, but also to gain a better appreciation of blending flavours, food preparation and presentation, service, and, basically, style. It was a pleasure to come to Shaun Dickens' restaurant and experience the same very high quality of service, food, and style as we had over the previous years. Shaun even emailed me prior to our meal to check on our vegetarian preferences, which I had referenced in my reservation. Nice touch. Walking through the door, we were warmly welcomed, ushered to a window-view table, and provided with pre-dinner amuse-bouches, along with a pre-dinner drinks menu. The wine menu showed a broad range of excellent choices from all over the world, which was refreshing compared to the almost all-California wine menu (as you would expect) in San Francisco. Our appetisers and main courses were things of beauty - almost too well presented to want to spoil. But spoil we did, and the fantastic range of flavours left us sated... but still with some room for dessert. A "happy birthday" message was kindly written on to my wife's dessert plate, and we were given after dinner treats along with an extremely reasonable bill. One of the servers, the young lady who presented all the dishes, was extremely professional and polite, clearly mindful of delivering a higher level of dining experience - but by some standards she might want to relax a little. Overall, an excellent choice for a special meal, and we will definitely go back for more.

I started with the asparagus, and finished the mean with the full lobster with a side of carrots and potatoes. The restaurant did not have a gluten free menu, but their staff was very knowledgeable what what was safe and what should be avoided. We were there on a Wednesday night that was not very busy, so we were able to sit by the window. It felt like a venue right out of Downtown Abbey. I'd love to stay at the hotel sometime during a future visit!

Honestly, after The Ledbury got its third star, I was a little worried it might get too "precious"…read moreor stiff. I've been to enough 3-star spots in London where the food looks like a science experiment but tastes like nothing. Thankfully, Brett Graham is still keeping it real. The plating is genuinely stunning--the kind of art where you actually want to stop and take a photo--but the best part is that it's actually delicious. It's food you genuinely enjoy eating, not just something you admire for the technique. The pigeon courses were the absolute standout for me. They serve it in stages, which I loved. You get this perfectly glazed breast that is so tender it's basically like butter, followed by a little "snack" of the leg that has this incredible deep, smoky flavor. It's rare to find a place that treats game with that much respect without overcomplicating it. If you're on the fence, definitely go for the wine pairing. The Sommelier was a total legend--super approachable, no snobbery, and clearly obsessed with what's in the cellar. The pairings were exceptional and honestly made the meal for me. They aren't just pouring the standard labels; they're finding really interesting stuff that makes the earthy notes in the pigeon pop. Price-wise, it's a 3-star Michelin in Notting Hill, so it's going to be a hit to the wallet. It's on par with the other big names in the city, but it felt worth every penny for a special night out. The service is polished, but they don't make you feel like you're sitting in a library--you can actually have a laugh and enjoy yourself. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in London. Period. Elite Tip: If they have the signature mushroom tartlet on the menu when you go, don't even think about it--just eat it.

Came to this little gem for lunch today. Died and went to heaven I think…read more Only found this place because it's a few steps away from where some friends live. It was a beautiful day and we walked through the deserted restaurant with lovingly laid tables into the bright sunshine of the gorgeous garden. Here all the tables were reserved and all had parasols. The staff were all very friendly throughout and very accommodating of our requests. I rarely see a menu where I want to try almost everything on it, but I experienced that today. I started with the pork rillette which was mild tasting and non greasy. My friends cleared their plates of the potted crab and the asparagus with cheese. Next, as it was Sunday and therefore rude not to, we all had a roast of some sort. The beef rib came rare which was wonderful. They brought out a blade of beef that had been cooked for eight hours for the member of our party who wanted the beef well done, and substituted chicken breast for someone else. It was all so good; perfectly cooked accompaniments of potatoes and cabbage and yorkshires. I didn't want any pudding because I was too full, but ended up sharing the quite amazingly creamy but not too rich vanilla ice cream with salted caramel and crumbled shortbread. This dish changed my view of salted caramel, which I have always thought of as an unnecessary and horrible tasting indulgence. In fact, the addition of salt was so subtle that I now think that caramel tastes better with it. Coffee was great too, as was my gin and fever tree tonic. Can't fault the place and can't wait to go back. Thoroughly deserves this five star rating.

Absolutely delicious!…read more The food here is excellent, and the menu has a lot of options to choose from. We came early in the morning, and there were only a couple of other diners eating when we walked in. We were promptly seated and our drink order was taken. There was only one server, and he didn't come back with my coffee, or take our food order for ages. I admit, I was very frustrated with the long wait, and mumbled under my breath about how long it took to make a coffee. Unbeknownst to me, the server was right behind me and heard my remark... needless to say, service was prompt and efficient after that! I ordered the Plant Plate and was absolutely blown away at the huge portions, also how delicious everything was. I'm American, and my spouse is British, so I always thought it was strange to watch him eat baked beans for breakfast over the years... but surprisingly, it's pretty good and I'd definitely have it again. My spouse had the Pancake Stack with fresh fruit and really enjoyed his as well. The dining room is bright, airy, comfortable, and clean. The toilets are clean as well. Overall, the food was excellent, reasonably priced, and a great value for the huge portions and fresh, delicious food you get to enjoy. Highly Recommended!
