"Really nice venue and hope that things pick up again, as was quiet due to Covid Food and staff were lovely...only gripe was that they disappeared towards the end of meal, and we had to go to the bar to get someone to take the desert order and bring us the bill"

"Was initially really impressed with this cosy, homely little country pub. Low ceilings, lots of warm wooden finishings and it's vey nook and cranny ish which, for me, is a sign of a place I can spend all day and night in, drinking myself into oblivion. The nature of this visit, however, was more foody centred and it was really lacking. Both of us went for the full rack of BBQ ribs. They were bland and not marinaded in anything as far as I could tell but just came with a pot of BBQ sauce. BUT the BBQ chicken wings as a side dish were mega fabulous and so tasty. Staff were awesome and pulled out every stop to make sure you were happy and fully catered for really lovely and chatty! If there were more foody places in the local area, I would have definitely eaten elsewhere and saved this pub for strictly drinking. Still a great place, though! It just feels that because there is not much competition in the area, they've done the bare minimum with the flavours in the dishes."

"The food was good but……. Service was awful, ordered wine and it was basically dumped at the bottom of our table not even the top taken off ! Pizza was good also the burger, was a chore for the waitress to get us any sauces. When we had finished we were asked can I take your plates, No can I offer you a dessert, coffee nothing. After 20 mins we got up and had to ask for our bill at the main desk, again a chore for the member of staff to have to get our bill.what a shame as it could be a very high rating place to eat."

"We love Chapter One. We have been visiting for 20 years and they never disappoint. Andrew and his team, front of house and kitchen, are the best. Can't wait for our next visit. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £40–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"As a regular diner, I was disappointed with the starter I chose at this restaurant. It consisted of an oversized portion of rocket salad with two small slices of smoked salmon and lime cream fraiche. I found it underwhelming, especially considering the price of £8.50. I hope the restaurant can maintain their high standards in the future."

"Lovely lunch for a birthday meal. Fish and chips had a beautiful light batter and fab chunky chips. Pork belly was so tender and just fell apart, my Husband enjoyed every bite. Beef and pancetta burger was also spot on. Service was quick. Good atmosphere and I also bought two amazing sausage rolls to take away. Very keen to return again soon!"

"It's a lovely spot to enjoy a drink, especially with all the Christmas decorations. However, when we visited, we felt a bit overlooked by the staff when it came time to place our order. The atmosphere has a slightly pretentious feel to it, which makes me hesitant to return. I believe there are better options nearby that offer superior service for a similar price."

"Food was excellent, server was very nice. Only complaint would be, they allowed customers with two dogs to come in the restaurant and be seated. The dogs barked throughout dinner. Animals (other than service dogs which these pekinese were not) should not be allowed in restaurants. It’s gross"

"We've only been here for drinks in the past, and it's got a very lovely cute yet fancy interior which has a really warm atmosphere. We returned yesterday for a Sunday roast, and we were all gravely disappointed. Meat was flavourless. Roast potatoes were soft and cold. Gravy was watery and weak. Unlimited Yorkshire puddings were indeed unlimited, but they were not Yorkshire puds. You picked it up and it would crumble into sawdust. They tasted and felt like Styrofoam. None of us came close to finishing our meals, despite paying £17 for our dinners. Will not be returning for food ever again. P.S. don't get their Peacock Farm lager, it tastes like Coors light. They have much better real beers and ales on tap."

"Located a short walk from Bayswater station. Fast tasty Iranian food. Fresh salads and many starters. Their chilli sauce is HOT HOT you have been warned. They offer spicy kebab options, but they are not spicy, maybe for the Iranians. Never see chilly on Iranian menu usually this place is a first for me.. Their portion size are on the large size. The ice cream is amazing. Good food and good value."

"Very lovely eatery. The portion sizes are ideal, the food is very flavoursome. They have a good selection of drinks. Above all else, the staff were incredible during our visit. A lovely lady called Samantha looks after the 8 of us is such a courteous and caring manner. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available (but weren't tried by my party) Parking: Over thirty spaces in a private carpark in front of the pub, easily accessible just off the main road. Kid-friendliness: All children are given a kiddies entertainment pack (as per the photo in my review), the staff are so understanding and friendly to the children."
"We visited for a late lunch, and it was good that we could take our dog in. The service was very good, though food choice had limitations for vegetarians. However, we felt uncomfortable during most of our meal, the table we were at, had a...high table for two to our right; fifteen minutes into our visit this high table became occupied. We could hear all conversations, which at times was embarrassing, one, because we felt we were intruding by becoming unintentional eves droppers. Two, because some topics of conversation were of a personal nature. Although we tried to hold conversations, and not focus on the people over our shoulder, this became strenuous while trying to eat our meals. Maybe this one area of seating could be rethought."

"What an unpleasant experience! This was once a good venue with excellent food, polite staff and generally clean and tidy. But now the staff obviously don't care and can't be bothered to be courteous. The food is very poor and certainly not value for money. The windows, the floor, the carpets and.the upholstery are filthy. I didn't have the courage to use the toilets, my life is too valuable. The tables are sticky and not wiped down. And there were more badly behaved, barking dogs than customers. Why do they let dogs sit on the chairs, probably why the upholstery is so unpleasant. There was a time that you had to book to eat at The Boathouse and we took friends there, but we wouldn't expose people we like to The Boathouse's poor food, duty and general lack of care and hygiene. Definitely a venue to avoid, which is a shame because the location is fantastic."

"After days of waiting to get a seat in there, I was amused by the high quality food and astounding service. Before jumping into the review, a huge shoutout for our waitress Ellie for being so kind, funny and lovely. For the food, appetisers were ravioli, burrata, fried shrimp and rocket salad. All were soooo good especially the fried shrimp(so crispy #dying). For mains we ordered the US sirloin and US fillet which both were so tender and tasty. The goodman burger was so good as well but I didn 't like the fries that came with it. The mac and cheese was delicious but was a bit heavy. For desserts, we ordered tiramisu which so full of coffe, my mouth was dry after that. I didn 't like the tiramisu tbh. The cookie sundae , on the other hand, was quite the thing, it was delicious."

"The staff were all polite and attentive, although two dropped plates while we were there seemed a little clumsy. Out of four main meals, only two were good; an award winning pie had stodgy undercooked pastry and the vegan shepherds pie, described as being full of mushrooms and kale in a tomato sauce, was 99% lentil and very dry. A single mushroom slice was very disapointing. The celery that was served with the baked Camembert was inedible, stringy and discoloured down the middle of every stalk. On the plus side, the beer battered fish was melt in the mouth, our request for gluten free bread with the starter was brought out without hesitation, the apple juice was crisp and fresh and the americano coffee was extremely flavoursome. We've never visited here before and wonder if the popularity of the restaurant, every table was in use on a Tuesday lunchtime, has led to a drop in quality, as other reviews i read prior to booking were all very good"

"Having regularly eaten at The Talisman for the last 6 years I was really disappointed with my experience this time, the service was quite poor, drinks were wrong, waitress seemed to have difficulty in understanding us , we were never offered desserts even half an hour after finishing our meal and had to ask for the dessert menu when we were offered coffee. The waitress just was not very attentive, we often ran out of drinks and werent offered more. The chocolate fondue dessert was awful, watery chocolate is not a fondue! Worst experience i've had here. Will not be eating here again for a while, will still to just drinking there."

"Very easy to book online with a choice of available dates. La Casa is right out a tram stop so no worries about where to park. Lovely welcome by the staff. Great choices on the menu, we chose the chicken and mushrooms in white wine sauce and it was serves piping hot, just as we like it. We chose the dessert as recommended by the waiter and it was delicious. Will definitely be back. A huge thanks to all the staff on duty."

"I would recommend that everyone eat at Dalston Jazz bar for the simple reason that every terrible restaurant you visit throughout the rest of your life will seem better by comparison. We walked in and were confronted with a decor that was presumably aiming for shabby chic but had instead landed squarely on skanky tetanus. We took a table at the back after being told that the one free at the front was reserved. Fair enough. We then splashed out the eminently reasonable price of £32 for 2 pints, a single vodka and (flat) coke and a cosmopolitan so sweet I can only assume they got the cranberry juice mixed up with the Vimto. For some reason all drinks had to be paid for immediately rather than being added to your bill presumably because so many people walk out. Words cannot describe the quality of our waiter at least not words I can write here. When he eventually took our food order he explained that it was a 'pay what you want ' restaurant, before immediately contradicting himself by informing us that each dish held a minimum 'donation ' of £15. What about the foccaccia? I dared to ask. £15 I was informed. Deciding to forgo the world 's most expensive bread we went for the prawns. They had the taste and texture of rubber covered in warm sweet chilli sauce. The chef had taken the unusual step of placing these on top of the crispy salad leaves, making them somewhat less crispy. The accompanying dish of a 'fishcake ' was, in reality, a pile of overcooked mash stuffed with the sweepings of the kitchen, some of which were presumably piscine in nature. The night culminated when the waiter, despite our protests, insisted we move to the long table he had originally said was reserved. Apparently the people who had booked it had cancelled, but our table was reserved (something he hadn 't previously mentioned). We arrived at the already packed long table to find there were only 2 seats for the 4 of us. No problem for our suddenly industrious waiter, who made everyone else shove along until we were so packed that the meaning of an 'intimate dinner ' threatened to take on a whole new meaning."
