    The restaurant is nice and welcoming. Airy enough to not be disturbed by anyone and nice…read moresurroundings that invite you to a casual and pleasant meal. Heirloom focuses its USP on being a British restaurant with British food and goods. From the beef and pork to the ales from across England. In this instance I went for the beer from Bristol whilst the others went for the Camden Pale Ale. A good visit and a return will be coming. One reason why my initial visit took a while and why my return will also be slightly delayed is because of the cost. It is not overly expensive or not worth it, but it is a pricey meal. £60 for two doesn't sound too bad, but for some reason, as a local food venue, I expect less. Strange logic.

    Heard a lot of good things about this place. From friends and many reviews, not just blogs but also…read morefrom broadsheet reviews who are impressed. Seeing as this was virtually a local I try to make time one lazy Sunday. For my visit I decided to test their Sunday roasts. I heard this was good and though there is a choice of Pork, Lamb, Chicken and Beef, knew from research that Beef and Lamb were very popular. It also meant booking early for the Sunday so nothing ran out with our choice. Coming in before 1pm (post New Years) it was relatively empty. I was actually surprised how big the place was. I knew it would fill up later, but I like when it's not too crowded so the kitchen can pay attention to our order without rushing. Knowing exactly what we wanted we ordered the Lamb and Beef roasts. They came within 10-15mins. Again I was surprised... The portions were pretty generous which was good. The beef was nicely medium rare (even though they said rare). Still I liked the way it was cooked and was tender. With my beef (40 day age beef rump). I loved the fact the carrot came as one huge piece. Nicely cooked. As too the cabbage bedding the meat. Parsnips and roast potatoes were OK. Think potatoes could have done with some pre seasoning, or glazed in butter or Rosemary. The Windsor Pork Belly I tried was excellent. I must admit lamb is my favourite meat. Always get a bit of mustard and of course mint sauce on the side. Someone will gladly come and serve some when you start which is nice. It was very tender. Same sides as beef. My gravy was running out so I asked for a bit more gravy and they were happy to oblige, coming back with a fresh pot of gravy for my my beef (they asked specifically which roast I had presumably to get the right type of stock gravy to go with it). Service was so so. They perked up with a smile by the end. I really liked the setting, decor and vibe of the place and by 2pm it was getting more full. Will hopefully come back to try a 3 course special or tasting, at night to sample ambiance. Another thing I want to try is the sherry of Manzanilla which I heard is very good. Good addition to area, especially on a street which is now seeing more eateries finally.

    Oh yeah! Americans…read morefrom California here. Who would've known that mashed potatoes, sausages, and gravy would go so well together! Loved every bite. Got the gravy on the side, didn't think I'd use all of it, before I knew it, it was all gone. And you wouldn't think that the type of mash or type of gravy or type of sausage would matter that much, but they really do all have distinct flavors! I will be mixing mustard into my mashed potatoes from now on. Originally came for the sticky toffee pudding, so of course we ended with that. Marvelous! The toffee sauce is so comforting and rich, the cake was so moist, and it was perfectly balanced with the ice cream. Didn't detect any dates, maybe they were too finely chopped. Also the apple and blackberry crumble just didn't hit the same; it was slightly dry and on the sour side (maybe don't take a bite directly after the pudding!) Service was so helpful and friendly; I'm sure they love watching people fall in love with their food. Quick with refills and offered extra condiments if needed. Great air conditioning as well (always a plus), and I loved the green blacksplash and blackboard caligraphy on the walls as well. Bangin'

    the poor rating has to do with the rude staff at this location. i'm not sure if he was the owner or…read morea staff member, but there was an older man who was very rude to us when we arrived. we entered the establishment, as that is what you typically do when you want to dine at a restaurant, and he came up the stairs and didn't even offer a greeting. i mentioned that we had a reservation for that time and he immediately just kept repeating that our table was outside. we went outside to their small patio dining area, and saw that there was a table with a "reserved" sign on it, so we sat down. i thought it was incredibly rude that he spoke to us in that manner, and it seemed like he expected us to somehow know that that table was ours before we had even spoken to any staff. i was seriously considering getting up and leaving but i decided to give this place one more chance. it then took a while, but we were eventually served by a much more pleasant and friendly younger server, who helped make this experience better. i would give this place a lower rating, however i must admit that the food was delicious. as an american tentatively wanting to try british bangers and mash, this exceeded my expectations. we all spoke about how the sausage was plump, snappy, and delicious, definitely one of the best we've ever had. the mashed potatoes were also amazing- cheesy and heavenly, and i'm not even usually a mashed potatoes kinda person. i am glad that we stayed solely for the delicious food, but i would not come back because of our experience with the staff here. the place already was one of the emptier spots on this very busy soho street anyway.
