    Wonderful Sunday roast - delighted to see whole roasted fish (superb!) on the menu. Makes a change from the usual. Service is wonderful and atmosphere magical.

    Fabulous lunch, tasty food, great service and top value. What was not clear for me from the website was that some of the dishes are enough for 2 or 3 people. We were a party of 6 adults, had plenty of wine, coffees, 3 courses, and loads of food and the bill came to £78 per head including tip. Highly recommend.

    Another extraordinary dinner..The Parakeet has such a great vibe, excellent staff and more to the point probably the best pub food in London. Head Chef Ben Allen delivers wonderfully flavoursome and inventive dishes that are different to the pack .And into the bargain there is some funky, cool art at The Parakeet . A top gastropub
