We love mashed potato - it's the food equivalent of a great big hug. Our mash is made with only the very best Maris Piper potatoes - and it's made fresh. Not that day, not that hour, but right before you tuck in. That way it still has the creamy fluffy texture we've whipped into it. Add a piping hot pie, free range sausages or vegetarian option.. pour on your choice of fresh gravy.. and you'r done. Feel all warm and friendly.

Dine amongst our collection of vintage photographs from the era when stars including Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix mixed with upstart fashionistas like Mary Quant and Twiggy to create the epicentre of London cool right here. With a full bar including seasonal specials and a classic soundtrack you won’t hear anywhere else, we’re sure you’ll find us the perfect venue for a date, family get together, or a sneaky working lunch on our outdoor terrace.Quality, value and atmosphere in the heart of the West End. Old school.

Aline was created from a desire to share my family’s food traditions. My love for Lebanese food comes from my mother, Aline. A Passionate home cook, famous for gathering her friends and family around her long table placed in the heart of a bucolic garden we call “Le Jardin d’Aline”. Meals have always been a way for her to teach my sisters and I about our Lebanese heritage. In summer we often enjoyed “Siyadiyeh”, a freshly caught sea bass served with a fisherman’s risotto native to Tyre, my mother’s hometown and in winter we would all gather in the kitchen eagerly waiting for the slow cooked lamb for her famous “Fatteh”. Our dishes are a modern take on everyday Lebanese comfort food served in a cozy thirty seat restaurant in Mayfair . Our ingredients are responsibly sourced and prepared with care, with a menu that offers the best of Lebanese food in all its authenticity. We look forward to seeing you soon! Tarek Farah

It felt a tad chaotic and disorganized in a small space. I had a reservation, but that didn’t seem to matter. Not a complaint as we were seated right away, but was an observation. They also had a sign saying to wait outside to be seated, but no one came for quite a while despite my peering through the window, until I peaked my head in as there was a queue forming behind us. Food was tasty and came quickly. Just would’ve wanted a more relaxed dining experience.

We made a booking on Monday evening, it wasn't busy at all, but the lovely guys explained that they just opened. We had fish & chips, which they also make gluten-free. Portions were very generous. We tried their delicious Ice cream (they customised it just for us so we could try more than one flavour, we loved it! Thanks guys!). Overall it was a great experience with quick service and delicious food.
