We had the most amazing time! Astonishingly good, sublime, the food was incredible. Perfect from start to finish. Lovely staff: the server made great suggestions and hit the mark every time. We’re so glad we took his advice. One of the best meals out in a long time. A lively, convivial atmosphere. It’s not cheap but worth every single penny. A night to remember. So happy to have eaten at The Parakeet!

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. It is a little expensive, however you are getting high quality food cooked to a high standard. Both the ravioli and seafood risotto were excellent as was the Tiramisu. Definitely a restaurant to visit on a special occasion or just if you want to treat yourself to high quality food. Would highly recommend.

Service was excellent, food really good. Basic menu focusing on fresh produced cooked well. Nothing fancy. Burger isn’t a burger, it’s a flatbread wrap. Chips were lovely, huge portions. It’s small inside so got seated too close to another couple, but that’s minor. Staff were lovely. Very reasonably priced for this part of London.
