Incredible food at a beautiful restaurant in the heart of Clapham old town down. The lunch menu was super value at £90 for 4 courses. The wine list is extensive with so much variety, not many bottles on the cheaper side but expected at a Michelin restaurant. The honey soufflé made from locally sourced Clapham bees was a lovely touch. Can’t wait to go again!

Honestly, unbelievable. Can’t recommend it highly enough. We went as a 5 and ended up ordering everything on the menu, bar a couple items, which I’d recommend.
