"Been meaning to go to the Store for a roast dinner for a while as i have eaten here before and the atmosphere, drinks and food have always been top. Unfortunately the roast dinner did not live up to expectations. The roast beef is 19£ in which you would expect it to be very high standard. We ordered all the sides as it was a girly get together and we had been looking forward to the roast for ages. To our surprise, the food came out pretty quick we ordered 2 x beef and 1 chicken. The beef had 1 slice of beef 2 potato 2 carrots some sort of small onion cabbage thing and 1 piece of broccoli and a dried out Yorkshire pudding FOR 19£!! I couldn't believe it, our sides then came out the cauliflower cheese had hardly any cheese or sauce, the pigs in blankets were burnt and some missing blankets, the stuffing was the only decent side. My other friends chicken then came out which looked like a better portion side but was unfortunately cold. She sent this straight back and believes that it was microwaved and given back to her so she refused it. Me and my other friend was so hungry we had no choice but to eat the food. We pulled this up with the waitress and if im honest she couldnt have been happier to help. They dealt with the situation very well. We was offered a discount on the food and extra roasties. I can say that when eatting the roast the gravy was good but the potatoes were not good and the lack of food on the plate for 19£ put an overall sore taste in our months. The way the staff handle the complaint was second to none so on this basis i will be returning to the restaurant just probably not order a roast. If the price wasnt so high there wouldnt be such high expectations. Maybe something to consider for the future."

"My mrs had just done a 6 day shift at the hospital so I thought I’d treat us to a Sunday lunch we arrived at 1300 (on a Sunday) and the place was dead. Friendly waitress took us to a table and we ordered drinks then we were told that due to an event they weren’t doing Sunday lunchif we’d been told upon arrival they weren’t doing Sunday lunch we wouldn’t have stayed. The alternatives were terrible, my mrs is vegetarian so she ordered a vegetarian pie with seasonal veg a few minutes after ordering someone came along and asked her if she was vegan or vegetarian as the pie has meat in it. When we asked her what she meant she seemed to not know what vegan or vegetarian meant, she muttered and wandered off. we didn’t see her again, and we still don’t understand what she meant. The seasonal veg was. Over boiled frozen peas and a tiny dollop of mash. Oh and gravy, we couldn’t be bothered to ask if the gravy was vegetarian, but I am 99% sure it wasn’t but she needed it to drown the dry mash and peas. I ordered the mixed grill, it was terrible , if you’ve ever wondered how thin a gammon slice needs to be before it’s just bacon dine here.. the thinest gammon I’ve ever seen, but also the fattiest, a lump of chicken that looked and tasted like it had been boiled, and a steak that was so tough (no steak knife was offered) that I had to ask for some sauce to mask the flavour (I never eat steak with sauce). I can’t be bothered to describe the kids pasta , but he didn’t eat it. My mrs hates it when I make a fuss so I bit my tongue (nicer than the steak lol), but at the end I had to say something and we got our drinks taken off the bill. I also flashed the Mrs’ blue light card and got more off the bill. Disappointed."

"Terrible service and very rude manager. Our family of was seated in the conservatory on a windy and rainy Sunday lunchtime. Unfortunately the table was placed in front of an external door which was opened and closed by waiting staff and the manager at...least times during our meal. Needless to say this was very cold and windy and sent napkins etc on the table flying each time. I politely asked the waitresses twice if there was another way they could access the table in the outside seating area. They apologised and at times used an alternative route but still continued to frequently open and close the door. Our own waitress Eloise was very polite and as helpful as possible in the circumstances. She offered to move us to another table but by this time we were half way through our meal and the kids were fully settled. Despite speaking to waiting staff twice the manager (who was amongst those continually opening the door) avoided eye contact. Eventually a guest from outside opened the door to come in and a large gust of wind ripped it off its hinges, knocking over a standard lamp on to my year old son. My husband tried to help the waitress lift the door back on to its hinges to no avail. At this stage the manager came over to try to fix the door and my husband made a comment about it being opened and closed so often on a windy day. Our waitress moved us to another table so the children could finish their desserts. The manager then came over and accosted my husband for speaking to him about the door! When my husband replied that he had avoided us until another guest broke the door and my son was hit by a lamp he simply walked away. No reduction in the bill or apology. I expressed to the waitress that we appreciated her help but the manager is terrible. Food was ok. We will not be back."

"battersea is great. the candlemaker, doodle bar, street kitchen, franco manca, powder keg diplomaticcy, draft house, king of ladies man, galapagos foods, southsider cocktail club and much more on their doorstep. park and park kitchen, a new rotisserie deli, just opened at the end of my road on the battersea high street. since the opening on 6. märz (14 days ago) I was in 6 times. they make it to the end of today. let's just call it thorough. the owner sam mousawi and the chef chef santo natoli first met in the popular Caffettino coffee shop on the street, which has santo with its two brothers. santos eltern are Sicilian and he has an extensive background as a cook. from the culinary school he went with angelo paracucchi in the toskana and in paris in a 2-star restaurant michelin. santo then moved to london where he worked in mayfair for scott, marco pierre white drones and harrods Georgian restaurant before he private cook harrods owner mohammed al fayed for 3 years has been! park road kitchen is open do sat 10 o'clock 9 o'clock and Sunday 11:00 o'clock served rotisserie huh with roasted potatoes freuden, and all I've been working through pretty much everything now, even though new courts are getting up again and again. start with beets, butternut squash, parsnip, red onion, honey mustard dressing and roast cauliflower with toasted almonds harissa my two personal favorites so far. work their way to delicious fish cakes, saltimbocca, hard fish, meatballs or octopus with pfeffer, sellerie, early smoky paprika. I feel a bit special when I sit on the 344 to vauxhall, octopus and beets to eat, sure in knowing that I eat the best on the bus for long. they can sit down to eat, but everything is served in takeaway kartons. then there is the chicken served in 1/4, 1/2 or whole portions with incredibly multiish bratkartoffeln on the side. they have not become crazy with the aromes of the chicken, it is only slightly marinated and beautifully cooked. there are many sauces, crumbled and spicy available to buy to try with them the small spicy green bottle when they think they can handle it! I can park road kitchen not very recommend, they make some extraordinary eating in a very small room, and the service with a smile of sam co. is always appreciated!"
