    Some of the food was a bit cold when it came to us, and starters not super or particularly generous (5 sticks of crudite with the roe). Fish was fabulous! Great service again!! Any comments were brilliantly received and acted upon, so super grateful for that. Would love to return again... and again! ;)

    Gorgeous experience start to finish. Every single member of staff made this a homely and welcoming lunch. As for the Sunday Roast, gravy packed full of flavour, delicious chicken and beef and a cauliflower cheese that is the real showstopper. Polished off with the infamously delicious chocolate mousse. 10s across the board for the Parakeet.

    excellent food and delightful service as always. a great combination of laid back atmosphere with tasty cooking. exactly what north London requires. waiting staff are very friendly and engaged. one mild criticism is the arrival/seating process which is rather disorganised - we were eventually seated 15 mins after our reservation time but even that needed a couple of gentle reminders

    We had a lovely Sunday lunch with friends. Our starters - olives and pickles were delicious. Our roasts were excellent apart from the lamb which was a bit fatty and sinewy so I had to leave some as I couldn’t chew it. A shame as it was delicious. Desserts were spot on too. The staff were great and we look forward to going back.

    Was very excited for this having booked a while in advance following Masterchef. Generally poor atmosphere, server attempting to take wine glasses before we had stated we were actually having wine for the table. Definitely some kind of prejudice involved that we had a baby with us, who was actually asleep at the table and disturbed no one. Would not return again. Food ok, but better can be found for a fraction of the price under more accommodating circumstances.
