"no hustle and bustle of the central, traditional pub meals and nicely arranged seats just around the corner with heaters for cold weather, no need to stand around in clusters if you are not a fan of such a mingling this pub dates back to the 1700's and it has been rumoured that it was one of the drinking holes of Jack the Ripper. did not try the fish and chips, I am not that much of a fan of the dish, but the shepherds pie was quite tasty. I just happen to like the appearance in the front, everytime I pass by it is so welcoming- makes me take a long break with friends This is a rather classic pub, not much of the craft beer discoveries or eclectic decor. Goes for the ones with a...read more"

"I took a punt and disregarded the other reviews and thought id try this place for myself and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is tucked away in the shopping centre and not that easy to find but its well laid out and quite large and...well designed. Its a casual dining with an err to the Nandos. We ordered a few things like Wings,Kale Salad, Half a Chicken along with Sweet Potato Fries and all were good especially the half chicken and Kale Salad. Only thing I would not order again is the wings as the other chicken was much nicer. Service was also excellent and the food turned up very quickly even though there was a few other tables and it was a Friday night. My only criticism is that the menu is very limited and barring or mains there is nothing else."

"I need Google's help to find a 6th star for this restaurant. It is that good. It is rare to find a restaurant where every dish is consistently great, not just good, but great. My wife and I began with haggis and bread, and the haggis was perfectly cooked with great texture and meat, and a wonderful balance. The Caesar salad and fried cod were delicious, and the broccoli and crab cake was absolutely divine. The chicken dish was exceptional. The wine and cocktail complemented the meal perfectly. There was literally nothing we would change about our dining experience - it was perfection from start to finish. This kind of excellence is rare. I would give it a 6 out of 5 rating. You, your friends, your whole family - everyone needs to visit this restaurant."

"We loved every minute and every aspect of Sea Containers. We were greeted by the members of staff politely and guided to the restaurant. We were walked to our table almost immediately and had our drinks order taken. Food were totally delicious, well presented and very good portion for the price. We love the ambience of the restaurant too. Staff are friendly, polite and knowledgeable. We ordered a bottle of Prosecco, which was put slightly away from us but the lady ensure our glasses are never empty. Foods arrived pretty quick and we didn't have to wait for long despite it was a busy Saturday night. We'll definitely come back with some friends and for future birthday other celebrations. On a side note, we also went upstairs to 12th Knot which is really nice with an amazing view. Thank you Sea Containers for the superb quality of hospitality and food/drinks which is quite rare in big cities these days."

"I haven’t had the opportunity to try out the new Plants by de yet, but I went to the deli two years ago and enjoyed the food experience very much. I am a big fan of Ella and loved trying out her wonderful recipes at the deli. The space was beautifully decorated with such an inviting and cozy atmosphere. It had lots of natural light, which made the place seem bigger. The service was alright, but the prices were a bit expensive. I had the corn fritters with smokey baked beans and avo smash for lunch simply amazing! I couldn’t resist, so I tried the peanut cookies and the banana bread also, which were just as great. This was undoubtedly one of the food highlights of my London trip. Everything was as delicious as it looks! I’m excited to try out the new place soon and to update this review then!"

"So, we had booked one of Allentown’s pods for our evening meal some time ago, opting for a pod as we had our hound with us, the establishment having a no dogs policy. Fair enough. When we arrived in the pouring rain, the manager told us in no uncertain terms that due to the rain her staff would not be serving food in the pods and that our dog would have to stay in the car as the dog going inside “would upset the locals”. We said this was not an option. The way this was put across by the manager can only be described as hostile. We were told 5hat if the dog misbehaved we would be told (not asked) to leave. Had we not prepaid a deposit for the seafood platter, we would have turned around there and then. We were put on a perfectly acceptable table, served by a slightly over-compensating and embarrassed waitress and had a very tasty meal. One drink, no starters no dessert and a hasty exit followed as our evening had been spoiled. Absolutely shocking and shabby customer service. Purely because of this, I rate one trip adviser blob. If I could rate zero blobs I would. Dog owners beware and take heed of this tale. It was not our fault it was precipitating down; if there was a problem us having a dog then we should have been called beforehand. There was no respect for us as customers and we will never darken their door again. Finally, the food was great. But the manager left a very sour taste that we cannot shift."

"Wild Food Cafe Islington is a temple of nourishment and coming home to yourself. The symphony of flavours of the beautiful created dishes takes you on a journey of remembering the true relationship with nourishment. I have never before felt my body so happy seeing the food and eating. I can literally feel every cell in my body getting excited to receive this divine food. The wild dishes are highly nurturing on so many levels: optically, texture wise, flavour wise, nutrient wise, plus they do ignite your inspiration and creativity also. The place in itself it’s an oasis of relaxation and joy. It looks so pleasing to the eyes: the lighting, the colour scheme, the textures (looove the soft pink macaroon like chairs my favourites ; , the hosts are so welcoming and ready to make sure that you have a wonderful experience. I love the elevated pizza, then queen of the forest for cold winter days, the unicorn rainbow cake is my absolute favourite a fabulous cross between dreamy cheesecake and ice cream having the perfect light creamy texture and temperature. But don’t take my word for it, go and gift this experience to yourself. Might be the most delicious break and meal you had in ages. Most likely you may find me there : see you soon! Enjoy! Bon appetite!"
"This is a review of the new Gunpowder in the One Tower Bridge development that doesn't have it's own entry in Zomato yet. It's a handsome place but acoustics are lousy when it is crowded. The food is good but be warned that portion sizes are dainty relative to rather high prices. I love that they seem to focus on the lighter, brighter side of Indian cooking instead of the stodgy fatty things available in a typical curry house. We started with aloo chat which is a really fresh and bright dish I like. Boiled spiced potato and cauliflower, tart yoghurt, sweet tamarind sauce, fresh notes of raw coriander and raw red onion and micro herbs, garnished with a little deep fried lotus root. Well balanced and tasty. Peanut and flattened chickpea chaat was great too. Skin on peanuts, spring onion, coriander, cucumber and chickpeas that had indeed been pounded flat and roasted. Kashmiri grilled lamb chops were divine and came with a punchy coriander chutney. Very tender, served medium rare, with a flavourful spice rub. It came with some strands of pickled cabbage where the acidity was a nice foil for the fatty meat. Patara maach was fish steamed in banana leaf on the grill served with some spiced pickled cauliflower. Fish was tender and rubbed with a nice emongrassy paste. The only dish we ordered I didn't care for were the okra fries. I like bhindi when the okra's are halved lengthwise and dredged in chickpea flour before deep frying. However, these had been cut into very thin julienne slivers and then tossed in the chickpea flour. Though the frying technique was perfect (crisp, with no greasy texture) slicing the okraso finely resulted in a heavy dish. We attended the reduced price soft launch. At full price with a bottle house wine, dinner for two would have been £70 including service. Expensive for Indian, but worth it because it was refined and elevated."

"This is a lovely cafe offering a wide range of breakfast and lunch items. The service is excellent and the staff have a friendly attitude and you can take away if you want to enjoy at home. Two items we would recommend would be the giant sausage roll and for a sweet treat you must try the kouign-amann which is a sweet Breton honey pastry which is simply delicious. The coffee was good and the prices reasonable."
"Have eaten there three times. Once for dinner and twice for breakfast. This little gem was opened recently by Mark chef and partner Charly front of house , who are both highly experienced in the art of food prep and presentation. I think this is their first restaurant, which they have designed and fitted out themselves with the help of family and friends. Their professionalism is married beautifully with their own personalities to make a cosy, fun, high quality eatery at reasonable prices. Perfect for meat and plant based eaters alike for a memorable meal out with friends and family. Recommend calling ahead to book as they are consistently full!"

"This place use to be decent but sadly, it kept going downhill. The worst thing a supposedly organic place can do is compromise on ingredients especially when their tag line is “we got a thing for plants”. On many occasions they ran out of basic lemon and used a preservative lemon from co-op that is pre-made in a little plastic bottle that has preservative in it cause I googled the product. Again once I asked for a basic lemon wedge to use on the avocado toast they offered the preservative lemon. Now I basically can’t order anything from there cause how would I know when they will decide to compromise on the most basic ingredient which is fresh lemon in their juices, how could you claim to be all organic and use preservative lemon? It use to be good and the hot pots were good but now it seems it’s more about quantity than actually caring about the quality of the ingredients. Super weird you can’t even stick by your ethos of being about organic fruits and vegetables, it’s a juice place and there’s no fresh lemon?"

"My partner and I were excited to get takeaway curry from here after hearing good reviews and it being our new local. We were quickly disappointed when we started eating to find that all of the chicken was pink. After calling the restaurant to complain, we were just told that we would get money off our next order... That's redundant as we won't be ordering from here again. Aside from the pink chicken, the food wasn't particularly inspiring, my partner ordered a chicken pathia that wasn't even spicy. Poor food and poor service."

"Visited for lunch with a vegan friend over from Finland for a few days, Sukha had been recommended to her by others and so we ventured forth!! My friend had crushed avocado on toast and I have to admit that while it looked nice and she said it tasted good, the portion was tiny, really tiny. She washed it down with an elder flower canned drink. The kale salad she ordered didn't get served until I asked for it right at the end and again, it was declared tasty. I had a carrot and nut burger with some chilli relish. It was very tasty, really tasty, but in my opinion, would have been even better if the roll it was in was either fresh and softer or maybe, toasted. I chose to have a lovely slaw as a side dish and their delicious espresso, date and banana smoothie. We chose not to have a cake as they looked as if they'd been there a while and not very fresh I'm afraid I'm a trained pastry chef and have an eye for these things after 55 years in the trade. The surroundings are a bit on the dull side, it's obviously been put together for the atmosphere and on a budget it's no worse for this to be honest, in fact, it adds to the character some of the customers were definite tributes to the age of hippies in Ibiza 50+ years ago (me among them in those days . The cafe is on a busy road, under a snooker club which is where you'll need to go to use a loo if you need one. Go along with an open mind and willingness to try something different and new, if you're a meat eater, you'll almost certainly be pleasantly surprised. If you're veggie or vegan, then you'll understand what they do at Sukha and are in for a very pleasant visit. Good luck to the cafe, I hope that you'll be there for my next visit to your area, if you are, I'll definitely be back:"

"We were at the garden centre and decided to use the restuarant. There were about 6 people waiting already and it looked like there were no tables free, so a wait was in order. Of the people in front , one had a walking disability and was leaning hevily on a stick. As time passed we watched as the first 10 tables cleared and no one from the queue was let into sit. We were now 15 20 minutes in and the queue had risen to maybe 20 people and the empty tables I counted 16. So I mentioned it to a waiter who was serving tea, he disappeared and nothing happened. Another 5 or 10 minutes passed and there was an abundance of empty tables; the lady in front needed a seat as she had been standing over 30 minutes, so we went and got her one. During this time several waiting staff had been to the head of the queue to replace menus that had come from the empty tables and one waitress even stopped to drink her tea but none of them even spoke to the head of the queue; they just ignored them. I complained again and was told to complain to another person by the serving hatch who was wearing an apron because they were supervisors. I told the supervisor there were about 20 old age pensioners, some with walking difficulties and they were being ignored when they could be let in to at least sit down. I was told quite curtly 'I am serving customers '. What the HELL did she think we were?? After discussion she said the kitchen was backed up because everyone had ordered at once, so I pointed out that she was causing the problem because she was now going to have another 20 orders all at once whereas if she had allowed people in it would be a trickle. Eventually we were let in. I would have walked away but my wife is diabetic and has to eat so we ordered Quiche; I had a green salad. It arrived fairly quickly but my quiche was gritty and I left about a quarter as it wasn 't very nice (my wife 's was ok) and some of the cucumber my green salad had gone mushy and the leaves had gone brown most of the salad was well past its best I left all the salad. My Wife had chosen different options and they were ok. I would avoid this place at all costs! I would also recommend to who ever owns this place that they put the manager and some of their senior staff on written warnings because of the way they treat their customers and their lack of concern over disabled people."

"Cafe embodies the best of a chef-owner restaurant experience. The restaurant is a veritable gem. Chef Sotomayor is a culinary genius. The staff are welcoming, accommodating, and professional. We dined outdoors and found it as comfortable and well executed as indoor dining. My wife and I were tasked with planning two memorial luncheons, each of these events for approximately people. The memorial luncheons honored family members who died during the pandemic and provided an opportunity for our family to finally gather safely. After extensively researching restaurants across Bergen County, we decided on Cafe based on the quality of food, service, and the attention to detail provided by Chef Sotomayor. My wife and I live in Manhattan and are no strangers to fine dining. In all honesty, we are very demanding; yet, our experience at Cafe exceeded our expectations and some of experiences at some of the best restaurants in Manhattan. Cafe is successful at providing fine dining without sacrificing authenticity and intimacy. Eating at Cafe is the experience you would imagine eating at a friend's house - if the friend was an award-winning chef. From the beginning of planning our events, Chef Sotomayor was extremely responsive and thoughtful. In the early stages of planning the memorial luncheons, my wife and I visited the restaurant to sample from the standard dinner menu. The most difficult part of planning was narrowing down the dinner menu to a luncheon menu; we liked virtually everything on the dinner menu. Chef Sotomayor worked with us to narrow down the menu to a few appetizers, entrees, and desserts. My favorites were the kale salad (and I do not really love kale), tuna, filet mignon but our guests loved the other options. The feedback from our guests was overwhelmingly positive. The food was excellent; the service was exceptional (thanks Felix My wife and I plan to return regularly, especially while the weather is still good and there is the opportunity to sit outside under the nicely adorned tent or in some of the non-covered seating. The only downside is that there is no liquor license. However, there is a very well stocked liquor store across the street with a very good wine selection."

"This restaurant is right near Tower Bridge. I made a reservation in advance, this is a busy restaurant. The menu offers a variety of small plates and sharing plates which cater for a number of different tastes, be aware veg options are limited. It is definitely a limited choice menu compared to a typical traditional Indian restaurant. The food was served quickly, I went for the small plates and ordered a number of different dishes, similar to tapas. All the plates were presented well and I would say we're all delicious. Relatively expensive but the quality of the produce in each dish can be tasted. Every dish was full of flavour and was unique. My favourite dishes were the soft shell crab, tandoori chicken and duck, however everything was good. The ambience is nice too, we had a booth, service was good. We ate well, so 3 of us with a drink each, the bill came to £213. Probably a little over what I would normally pay, however worth the spend to sample some unique cuisine. I would recommend this as a treat, definitely wouldn't be a regular of mine, reserved for special occasions and treats or if you're looking to impress a date!"

"The food was delicious and beautifully prepared and the setting is pleasant, however portions are very small and I consider prices high for what it is. We also had a problem with using the loo. I ordered food and then went to use the facilities. There was no loo paper or paper towels in one cubicle and the other cubicle for those with a disability had a few sheets which I used up. I raised this with our waitress when I got back to the table. My wife went back at the end of the meal but still no paper of either kind. She asked staff for help and had to wait several minutes waiting for it to appear. Also be warned, the toilet windows in the disabled cubicle have clear windows at waist height right next to a path with an unobstructed view for any walkers onto what you are doing! Extremely embarrassing as I experienced!"
