    Went to a Sunday roast here a few weeks ago a few weeks ago and loved it - best in London. This meal was for their regular menu, the sea bream for two was expensive but worth it. The other dishes were fine and solid - the leeks dish with cheese, a side salad and potato bread N]and chocolate mousse.. Felt a little pressured to give an extra tip behind the 12.5 service charge which was a little uncomfortable, but overall, enjoyed our meal.

    A refreshingly different menu using seasonal ingredients. We enjoyed everything we ordered which was more filling than we had expected. (Had to take some home in a doggy bag). Quite expensive for what we had but I am slowly getting used to having to pay more, quite a lot more, in good restaurants these days. Service was excellent and ambience was great.
