    The Silo experience is too special to put into words. This was our second visit, and we were even more impressed (which I did not think possible). Absolutely stunning menu, the flavours of every single dish were just incredible. Faultless wine pairing, too. And the attentiveness, friendliness and knowledge of the staff (clearly all passionate about what they do and happy to share it!) made the whole evening extra special. By a million miles our favourite restaurant in London!

    Enjoyed trying dishes from the new menu! Had the gurnard which was cooked perfectly although found the addition of pickled chillies rather strange! I hadn’t been here for ages but the open fire and music from the jazz trio in the bar area made for a great atmosphere, so planning a return visit soon!

    We had an enjoyable lunch at the 'spirits tasting ' event, the starter was particularly good. We were given a voucher as a gift and had not previously dined at Haywards. We enjoyed the fixed lunch menu and the presentation from Adam representing Essex Spirits. However, we would have preferred a wine tasting experience as we rarely drink spirits.
