Impeccable service and the ribs were brilliant! Decor is really interesting and can tell your in the middle of the west end. Pricing very reasonable for quality of food and location

We wanted to express our most sincere thanks for the way you looked after our Son and Daughter in Law on Friday 22nd August 2025. What you and your staff did was exceptional. You were all so friendly, helpful and willing to go the extra mile to ensure they had the most amazing wedding reception. Nothing was left to chance, the table looked fantastic and the food was delicious to say the least. To say 'thank you' hardly seems enough for what you did in making their day and ours special, but our thanks is from the bottom of our hearts. Anne and Ivor Earl

Stayed at the strand palace hotel and went here before going to the theatre. Very nice decor especially if you are into theatre as loads of what looked like original posters adorning the walls. Excellent and friendly service, fantastic food with good choice and I thought reasonably priced. Would recommend
