I highly recommend the Basket Press Wine Bar and chef residencies! It is always a wonderful experience. Every chef offers a unique and delicious menu, and the wine list is excellent! I also love the chilled, cosy and super friendly vibe. I cannot wait to go back!
Basket Press Wine Bar – North LondonService wasn’t great but food was lovely. Best Caribbean roast I’ve had. However, it Took around an hour for the food arrive and ordered Mac n cheese as a side and came luke warm way before the food so had to eat that first. Was complimented with an extra side of cauliflower cheese which was lovely. I would recommend eating here just hope for good weather where you can wait for your food with a lovely drink outside as we did.
Rising Sun – Belgravia and PimlicoWaited over an hour for our food, which was super frustrating for the kids. When it finally came out, the female bartender just dumped it on the table and walked off in a mood and it wasn’t even our order. We ended up being charged for food we didn’t get. Had to ask twice for our drinks too. When the right food did arrive, it was just average. The only real highlight was the young waiter, he was lovely and clearly doing his best. Just another TikTok-hyped place that doesn’t live up to it and can’t seem to handle the pressure. Won’t be going back.
Rising Sun – Belgravia and PimlicoBest prawns & lobster I ever had. 5 ⭐️
Sea Garden and Grill – TootingBooked for 4 of us for Father’s Day. There were a lot of people and it seemed like they struggled. The food took over an hour to come, we ordered Mac n cheese as a side but it came way before the food so we had to eat it as a starter as we were told the chef was busy and doing his best. It wasn’t a great experience to be honest, felt really stressful. The food however was really tasty, I just think if you go you need to pick a quiet day as they are a pub first and foremost and didn’t seem set up for so many diners. I wouldn’t go again.
Rising Sun – Belgravia and PimlicoWe had a great time and love the food, atmosphere, wines and changing menu! Great local place.
Basket Press Wine Bar – North LondonVery tasty food and good size portions which given the range of dishes in the two different set menus we chose justified the price. However re the toilet facilities things were not so good. One ladies toilet had no means of hand drying and the other one had a hand dryer that barely worked. On a peek into the disabled toilet it appeared to be more of a locker and store room so I was glad my husband was not with us as he would have needed to access that facility with his rollator which would have been nigh on impossible.
Barcelona Tapas Bar Y Restaurante – CityThe Dover sole is always delicious at a much lower price than central London - top quality seafood is always expensive, but this is the least expensive place I know to eat it, with the bonus of friendly service, a good atmosphere of locals enjoying themselves, and a likeable slightly quirky interior.
Matthew’s Kitchen – North LondonAbsolutely excellent food. Restaurant immaculate and welcoming. Food was freshly cooked and portions were excellent. Would go more if we lived closer.
Matthew’s Kitchen – North LondonCool pub but the staff are too cool and dismissive. Then again, it's London Fields and hipster central
The Dove Freehouse and Kitchen – HackneyThe most amazing food, service and value for money! Will definitely return again and again
Sea Garden and Grill – TootingLarge group booking in main part of bar that made it difficult to get to bar to order. Would have made more sense for large party to be in the private library space. Food took over 50 minutes to arrive at table. Quite disappointing to have to wait so long. Mac n cheese quite al dente and not enjoyable. Burger was ok. Plantain was over cooked and a bit salty. Staff were friendly.
Rising Sun – Belgravia and PimlicoBeen going to Matthews for years. Beautifully decorated family run restaurant. Always a comfortable and pleasing atmosphere, it’s a haven in North London. Food is always exceptional and staff is very friendly and attentive . We’ve never had a bad experience or a bad meal and it’s a great go to, especially as I am a pescatarian and we’re so lucky to have such a great fish restaurant so close to home. There’s always a good selection of seafood variety . Please don’t ever leave !
Matthew’s Kitchen – North LondonWe had dinner here on Tuesday with 2 friends. The food and the service were excellent. A thoroughly enjoyable evening. I had fish soup followed by smoked haddock with colcannon. Delicious both. My husband had ceviche and fish mixed grill and these were also delicious (we always swap). The food was tremendous: marvellous to eat so well so close to home. Better fish than in Cornwall where we holidayed last and as good as central London.
Matthew’s Kitchen – North LondonIncredible experience and service, a real gem - thank you team for such a lovely initiative!
