This is my second time dropping in for a meal with no reservation. Despite arriving 10 minutes…read morebefore the kitchen opens and a restaurant which is absolutely empty I'm told that they are full and I can't be accommodated with a table. This is mildly annoying given the above, but I'm told by a very charming bar tender that they will serve the full menu in the pub side. This is good news. Where as the restaurant appears sterile, the pub side has a bit more charm. I order the salmon accompanied by a salsa of gin & tonic celery and capers and order a side of greens. The salmon is cooked to PERFECTION and the celery/caper salsa is a revelation. A tad sweet, very fresh, with a satisfying crunch and a tart and salty finish. I'm extremely impressed by the greens, which are a melange of brocoli rabe and green beans which still are croquant and have a wholesome spring garden taste. On the whole Hawkyns is supercilious, but the food IS excellent.

Mine is a review of two halves. I would give the food 3 - 4 stars. It was good but the portions (in…read moreparticular the starters were small). Deserts were a real let down. They were quite odd, a little childish even and no chocolate option at all. The solid 4 stars were for the waitresses who were excellent. Very friendly and efficient.

The flavours are spot on, proper depth and balance rather than just heat, and you can tell the food is cooked fresh and with care. Service was smooth and easy, no issues at all, and everything arrived hot and well put together. It doesn't feel rushed but the dishes are carefully balanced to maximise flavour. There's a level of quality to the food that stands out straight away. What I liked as well is they've clearly tried a few interesting twists on some dishes, and it actually works. Nothing feels gimmicky, just well thought through and executed properly. If you're after authentic Indian food with real flavour, this is easily one of the better spots around. I'll definitely be ordering again.

We went early evening so there weren't many other people there but even taking this into accout (I don't mind empty restaurants) we got the feeling that not all was well. Almost like there was a crisis going on out the back. It made me feel a little uncomfortable. Having said that.. the food is FANTASTIC. They do take-away so that cures the wierd atmosphere problem. I will probably give it another go as at other times it may be perfectly comfortable. Recommended.

There are a lot of rare, and probably priceless books, and artifacts in the museum, although I was more interested in the layout of the building, wondering if it had been like that for 400 years or if any re-construction work had gone on.
