    I had a wonderful lunch at Andrew Edmund’s today. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a charming, intimate feel that made for a relaxed dining experience. The food was exceptional—beautifully prepared dishes with fresh, high-quality ingredients that showcased a perfect balance of flavors. From the starters to the dessert, everything was thoughtfully presented and full of depth. The service was equally impressive; the staff was attentive without being intrusive, offering excellent recommendations and ensuring everything was just right. It was a truly delightful meal, and I’d highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Particularly enjoyed the sharing pie today.

    Went with a friend and the staff was fantastic. Especially one waiter/chef called Benjamin, bless him he was only 18 but he really delivered and made us feel welcome. There was one server called Rufus though, think I went to school with him?!
