We really enjoyed our experience there and will go back next time we're in London. The Crackling Spinach was absolutely outstanding and one of the best vegetable dishes I've ever had. My obnly regret is that we didn't try more items on the menu, but we were so full we just couldn't eat another bite. The service was excellent and we felt very appreciated.

We were pleasantly surprised by the flavors of the food. As vegans, it’s not often we come across places like this that transform simple ingredients into something truly special and unique. It’s definitely a recommendation from us!
