   Overpriced food & wine, food tasteless and some dishes overcooked. Very dissapointed we were expecting so much more.

   We love going to this place and enjoy the food greatly. It’s also close to Emirates Stadium, which makes it convenient for match days. One criticism is the prices seem high generally and particularly on match days.

   Sensational meal. I often find these small plate type gaffs a bit underwhelming. Absolutely not the case here. The cabbage with Anchovy and Tuna was salty but fresh and well textured. The Cod cooked to perfection and nice and simple. The whipped cods roe was heavenly. Music was well considered and not too loud. They made a few very very basic errors which were easily rectified (like bringing the wrong starter) and the knocked off the desert without asking. 10/10.

   We had an early dinner with my godmother (who is coeliac and FODMAP) and WL was so accommodating and helpful. The food was delicious (and they also catered off the menu for us!), service personal and friendly, and atmosphere gorgeous and cool as per. Huge recommend.

   Always a joy to visit Westerns Laundry. The food is second to none, with an oft-changing menu. The service is fantastic (very friendly and knowledgeable) and the atmosphere relaxed and buzzy. A really lovely restaurant.

   Great dining experience! Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff, very warm ambience (and it was freezing outside!), and really interesting food. Not the cheapest, but all 6 of us thought it stood up very well against city centre restaurants.

   Not worth it. Long list of wines by the glass but poor in quality. If you’ve eaten at any of Primeur, WL etc you’ll know you’ll leave hungry (the portions are infamously stingy) but at least as I recall from past visits the food was good - not so on this occasion. A particular lowlight was a cold, chewy spaetzle with raclette. It’s not a huge thing but waiter delivered the bill and then immediately snatched it back, saying he’d forgotten to add some items, and then when he brought it back he’d overcharged us for our bottle. When pointed out, he changed the bill but offered no apology. Won’t go back.

   As ever, we were treated to a lovely dining experience. Delicious food and wine - i never leave without London’s finest baba au rhum and nor should you. Thank you Westerns for taking such good care of us!

    While the experience was mostly very good, it wasn't quite 5 stars at this price level - about £170 for lunch for 3, with only 1 medium glass of house red, and 2 glasses of house cordial. To me, this is expensive and I expect perfection! The atmosphere was fine, the seating was very comfortable, service very helpful, the noise level acceptable and the food was mostly very good and enjoyed by all three of us. I was impressed that they had noted my food intolerances from my booking and were ready with a list telling me what I shouldn't eat, which still left plenty of choice. It was suggested that we order 5 or 6 dishes between us. We ordered olives (large, firm and unpitted, as they should be), 3 of the smaller plates (£9-=£16) and 3 of the larger items (£23-26). If we had not had two lots of very tasty and crisp bread, I would still have been hungry as the majority of the dishes were very light and of limited quantity when shared. My companions loved their Creme Brulée dessert, but I found my Chestnut Gelato to be unappetising - the ice-cream had little flavour beyond vanilla, the baked chestnuts and fruit slices added little, and the large amount of set cream actively detracted (I did say that I preferred without cream). I left most of it. The in-house peach cordial spritzer came in a small-ish glass filled with ice (unwanted). At £4.50, I want at least 200ml before ice!
