British seasonal tasting menus that, to avoid waste, use only one meat at a time. Situated in a beautiful Victorian building, enjoy a relaxed, thoughtful & personal dining experience providing value for money found nowhere else!

From the week of the 18th of November every Friday and Saturday dinner we will only serve our Signature Menu at £90.

Tues - Sat Dinner, & Sat Lunch | 7-course Tasting Menu | £70pp Or our Signature Menu-10-course | £90

The restaurant is produce driven; we work with the very best producers & suppliers in the UK.

The drinks list, and optional pairing, has a strong focus on drinks with low-intervention production methods. These are wines, cider & beers that are full of life & represent the way we feel all agricultural products should be made, farmed or reared: with a focus on respect - towards the natural environment and everyone involved in the process.

First of all, a lovely surprise that we were on a set menu. We can’t recall if this was imposed or if we booked it, but we weren’t disappointed. The food was excellent! The service was first class: very engaging and pleasant staff who knew the ingredients in all the food courses. A lovely ambience too, and the place was packed: an indication of the popularity despite it being a Tuesday. Overall quite a unique experience and although not cheap, it was good value for money.

We’ve been going to Nest for a long time. It’s an experience imagined by people who love to please with food. Today’s meal was the best of many amazing times. That’s the thing, every month is different and every visit a new season and a warm welcome. We love it and maintain it is still the best restaurant in London.

Surprisingly delicious! I was apprehensive about the tasting menu concept as too often I find it is not good value or too stuffy. We were very pleasantly surprised - each dish was unique and actually delicious. Cocktails were excellent. Staff were lovely and the space is nice. I’m usually stingy about giving 5 stars, but this place deserves it! I’ve put it on my own “best of London” list as a keeper.

The food was absolutely delicious, really inventive, and beautifully presented. We had a discount via NUDGE, otherwise it would have been quite expensive, though defintely worth it. We didn't leave hungry.
