Reviews in London

Great food, great service. A very friendly, local restaurant serving well cooked and presented fish and seafood dishes. Been a couple of times recently and will be going back. Highly recommended

The place is really cosy and pretty. The food is even better! Super friendly. Highly recommend.

Went for an early local meal, on the early night promo menu. Very good food and excellent service. Will be returning to try the a la carte menu

Fantastic …best restaurant in whetstone

Superb meal - wonderfully cooked fish, excellent service, very good value.

The restaurant was fine, but too cold,

Excellent fresh fish and service was very attentive without being overbearing. Mixed grill was superb

Have to say this place was rather disappointing and gone down hill for me. Been going to this since 2003 and know Paul well and varna but the food was not good last night, the fish n chips well the batter was absolutely rock hard and the chips were very crunchy, the chicken burger was not nice either, very oily batter. The food standard is not good and got worse over the years. The noise as well was shocking at one stage I had to tell a group to tone it down as it was ridiculous, thought I was back in the trenches! Live the beer regardless and will go again soon but will have to think about the food if I’m going to have

Dinner with friends last night. Food delicious Service good and friendly.

Amazing food , super fresh fish! The restaurant is cosy and a bit posh at the same time I loved it! I'll 100% come back as I live close by. It's a real local gem

Fabulous food and excellent service. A restaurant to recommend to friends.

Absolutely delightful meal great atmosphere and attentive staff looked after us extremely well Cocktails superb, house wine was very nice. Just one issue food and plates could be hotter.

Great food and lovely service. Roast was top notch and great beer

The ambience is really nice in the restaurant. It’s relaxed and atmospheric. The menu is interesting. Although some of the elements of the menu I would say are better than others. A bit hit and miss. The fish bouillabaisse is excellent and I highly recommend. The fish taco for starter is also excellent. Yesterday, unfortunately my starter and main were not great. I had the seabass and salmon ceviche which looked beautiful on the plate, but was very bland. It has simply been seasoned with lemon juice it seemed and nothing else. As raw fish is very bland on its own, it needs to be flavoured with a lot more such as garlic, ginger, lemon, grass, , coriander, chilli etc . And the grilled mixed fish for main ( which was a special but done fairly regularly I believe ) again looked good on the plate, but was very bland. The fish had simply been grilled, with no seasoning or flavour. So I have to say a bit of a disappointment. As I said it’s hit or miss. One other observation would be that for a local restaurant it’s very pricey. For the four of us, we had two bottles of wine ( white Sancerre) a starter and a main each , no desserts and finished with one Baileys , one brandy and two Sambucas. The bill came to approx £345 for the four of us. Which, as I said, is very expensive for a local restaurant; so an observation would be that they really need to consider their pricing from a customer retention perspective. We do like to support local restaurants as much as possible, but I would say consistency in the food alongside a well priced menu is key. We would go back more often if it wasn’t for these two factors. One thing I would add , on a more positive note , was the staff were very friendly and efficient.

Delicious food, served promptly. The service was excellent and friendly. I will certainly go again.

First class fish restaurant. Excellent food and efficient, friendly service. This is a top restaurant without having to travel to central London.

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, great service and very friendly team. We had a birthday dinner for 15 people and it was perfect. The team were super helpful, and they made everything super special. The live music was great. Was a great experience overall and everyone had great time. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The food is really good. The fish taco starter is so good. You are not rushed and the staff are great
