                                                      This was a memorable family get-together with Australian relatives and Kettners could not have been a better venue. The atmosphere and decour are classic, the food delicious (a small, but high quality menu), the service first class and the price per head entirely reasonable. Would unhesitatingly return.

                                                      Solid service and very good starters, mains and dessert. The sides however were a bit disappointing. £7 for a small pot of fries which on the menu are listed as Potatoes Fried. I’d still go back again though, our server gave great wine recommendations.
