I've always had a mantra with this particular chain - great starters, great puddings - but the…read moremains are so-so. Well on my most recent trip this began to unravel as I had a great yet simple main and it was on the two course menu as well. It was just an Italian sausage pasta - which was very similar to an n'duja but not nearly as spicy. The ragu was great and I really like how they do their garlic bread now too. I've always rated the Pinner branch as one of the best of the chain, and now with the improvements to the menu it can only get better.

I had a really enjoyable Sunday lunch at Carluccio's, which tempted me into their establishment…read morewith a beautiful bakery window display and promises of a reasonably priced two course lunch. There are a number of Italian restaurants on High Street in Pinner, but this one has a light and airy atmosphere that set it apart from its compatriots. It looks to have been very carefully renovated, with a clean and organic look, and lovely bathrooms. We did not have to wait to be seated. My partner and I ordered a Three-Pastas-for-Two-People tasting menu, which came to 21 pounds even -- not bad considering that individual plates of pasta range from 7.5 to 11.5 and the term "tasting menu" is in a way decieving because all three pastas are full size. We selected the Penne Arrabiata, which was fantasticly savoury with Kalamata olives and capers and just the right amount of oil (often this dish is too oily!). We also enjoyed the special Penne with Zucchini and Fried Spinach Balls -- I know it sounds odd, but we were intrigued and this dish was surprisingly delicious! The Porcini mushroom pasta, while good, was outshone by the excellence of our two other selections. I'm Italian and cook my own Italian food, so my standards for Italian restaurants are unduly harsh, and I actually really enjoyed everything and would certainly return. I estimate only 15% of Italian restaurants I try reach this mark. Eagerly looking forward to dessert, my partner ordered an Italian hot chocolate which was excellent and on the lighter side with a good head of foam. I picked the compelling sounding Bicerin -- you recieve three little pots which contain espresso (your choice of beans), thick Floretine drinking chocolate, and cream. This was also my ploy to also try the Floretine drinking chocolate which my partner worried might be too intense, though fear not, because it was amazing and would be what I ordered next time. I'm not the biggest fan of say, Cafe Mocha, so this didn't radically change my mind about the combination of coffee and chocolate the way I hoped it would. But I did have fun playing with the ratios and experimenting, so I think it's an excellent way to see if anything could change your mind about that combination. From the bakery section, my partner had the deep chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream (you may add a scoop of ice cream to any bakery selection for I believe another 1 or 2 pounds) and I had a plum tart. I'm embarrassed to admit I find cream products like custard or, well, cream, slightly intimidating so I deeply enjoyed that the plum tart was simply plum and pastry without any sea of unknown gloopy dairy. The cake was deliciously chocolatey without being overwhelming, which was important since we were having warm chocolate drinks. The service, while initially seeming to be about one person understaffed (it's actually quite a large establishment as you start walking towards the back) bounced back as who I assume to be the manager stopped by our table and helped us with our desserts. He was very friendly and attentive. Technically, my review is a rounded up 4.5, because there are a few nitpicks. Everything is hard surfaces and hardwood, and the tables are packed quite densely in there, which means quite a bit of noise if the restaurant is busy. Secondly, while I believe the food is good enough to warrant the price, it doesn't give you the swelling feeling of "great value" -- just "fair value." They have special menus for things like Christmas, and also have a little shop up front along with their bakery that sells a variety of tasty tidbits and coffee. I'll definitely return!

Wenzels is a bakery shop, which sell crusty bread, baguettes, sandwiches, cakes and hot savouries…read more On order they also sell, celebration cakes, gateaux and party platters. They also do meal deals like coffee and muffin, or 2 steak slices for £2;50. My personal favourite is two sausage rolls for £1:50 which is delicious, nice crust and soft juicy sausage inside. I'm a real fan pastries ranging from chicken slice, to beef patties. Prices for those are £1:20 to £1;50. Their granary loaf is amazing, just soft in taste. A bit pricey at £1:50 but hey your paying for quality. You know when something is homemade, when its not a perfect shape, and in taste. I also like their carrot cake muffin, just lovely!. At every specific day or holiday (Easter, Christimas, Halloween etc) expect some cake to represent like a Valentine heart cookie, or cake's. The customer service is good. It helps that this store is situated across Sudbury Hill station, so you can get a bite to eat or drink before work or anywhere else. The store is open Mon-Sat from 7am to 5pm. The majority of the Wenzels stores are in greater London except the Baker street store. I think yeah, they do have similar products, and unique ones as well, to Gregg's but i think Wenzels stand on its own concerning quality and the fact you can order cakes for spacial cakes.

We sat outside and ordered a meal to share and two drinks. The smash burger was very good and a hefty portion size. Service was great as well. Only downside is that, probably due to an unexpected amount of business all at once, the restrooms were not maintained and all stalls in the women's room (I think 4) were out of paper. Luckily someone boyfriend grabbed a role from the men's for the few of us that noticed early enough! Generally, seems like a great option pre event at Wembley!
