    I booked for myself, baby and sister who flew over from Australia to enjoy a tasty English roast dinner. The staff were lovely, welcoming, helpful and very accommodating as soon as we walked in. They put us in the corner as my baby had fallen asleep, answered all of our questions about the menu, and offered me a lovely tea to end the delicious meal. Food was very tasty and just right to fill us up. Meal didn’t feel heavy and was full of flavour. Thank you for a lovely meal.

    Loved the experience but meal was a bit ruined by adding heavily fishy broccoli as a side to a beef cheek dish. We didn’t realise the side came with the fishy topping. :( Thought the portions of main were small for price point. Charming staff and really glad we visited! Thanks!

    On a busy ,at the same time, nondescript street in Kentish Town, almost unnoticed, sits a hidden gem, Parakeet Pub. The pub is charming itself when you step through the door but venture furter in and you'll be pleasantly surprised by a beautiful dining room at the far end of the pub Yes, you've ventured in off Kentish Town High street and discovered another world of fine dining, fabulous food and charming helpful staff. Highly recommended.
