    Had previously visited this place for food years ago. Close to where we stayed in Kensington came here on Monday night for food and few drinks. We met Alfredo who took us to find tables for our party (there was a few of us) the food was fab, the cocktails & drinks were good and the price was extremely reasonable. The staff were great too- our waiter was lovely and always checking if we needed anything.Great decor. Defo recommend and will come back

    Cozy and casual atmosphere but very serious about food and wine. A sharing menu with small, medium and large plates all excellently prepared and bursting with flavor, frequently with sour and fermented accents: pickled sardines, eel with pickled prunes, cold venison and parsley salad, pork with braised cabbage and mustard. Playful with English traditions. Highly recommended.

    A really lovely place to go to celebrate our adult daughters' birthday. Busy with a great buzz for early January gave it a real energy. It's a big restaurant but the service and food was excellent and the attention to two diner's gluten intolerance was good, however please just put the allergens on the menu and not force them to scan apps - it's almost like a disability discrimination.
