"I had been planning to return to this restaurant for a few years. I finally went back today and was pleased to find it empty on a bank holiday Monday for brunch. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was just average and our order was not quite correct, although we were slightly overcharged on the bill. There was no butter with the toast and no offer of condiments. The coffee was good and the staff were pleasant, but the service was only average. The prices were already high, but considering the location, they could have been acceptable with better quality food. What I found unacceptable was the 12% gratuity added to the bill. In summary, it was an overpriced, average cafe brunch in a great location. In my opinion, it could have been packed on a sunny bank holiday morning if the food had been better."

"beautiful steak, drinks are expensive, waiting workers appear new, half clearing table before everyone was finished. just hope that the service standard from our first visit does not slip because if you want to calculate their prices, then you would also like a good service."

"The evening started with a friendly, warm welcome. We were struggling to find a decent restaurant in the area and were recommended the Corner House. We had simple requirements, firstly when we book a table we expect it to be a table for the evening, there is no quality in dining in an establishment with two sittings. We never felt rushed. Secondly I like the service and the quality of foods to appear effortless, which it did. Clearly a tremendous amount of effort went into every detail from the foods, side salad, homemade sauces and deserts. Attention to detail was obvious and the service was perfect, just the correct amount of contact from the enthusiastic staff without being intrusive or overbearing. Thirdly I rate a restaurant on whether or not I could replicate the meal better, similarly or not at all. On this occasion my extra blue rib eye was one of the finest steaks I’ve ever eaten and I grew up in French fine dining. The homemade bread platter, starter, mains, deserts, coffee were all perfect. The visit was mid week and the restaurant was fairly busy. The atmosphere, ambience and surroundings enhanced a great meal. Most restaurants in the area (apart from The Marquis in Alkham Valley) are very mediocre, tedious, churning out the latest fads and boring, this wasn’t. We will definitely visit again, the staff were attentive, kind and warm."

"Found out that under new ownership since October 2023, so recommendations to me were based on friends experience with previous owners. The manager was friendly and very attentive, asking lots of questions, explaining their menu when asked, telling me that the interior will be changed in the near future. Anyway, for starters we chose Calamari, Garlic Mushrooms with Cheese, King Prawns, and Halluomi. We then all helped ourselves to bits and pieces of each. The starters were plentiful in portion size, with all choices being great, especially the garlic mushrooms with cheese. For mains we chose a mixed grill, chicken shish, lamb ribs, and chicken wings and chips for my daughter. The chicken and lamb shish were both tender and full of flavour, and the lamb ribs were great. They all came with slad and bulgur (I can only describe it as a cross between rice and cous-cous).The mixed grill was plentiful in size and looked appetising, but my father in law enjoyed that all to himself , so I can only assume it was good. My daughter enjoyed her chicken wings too We were given bread on the table, which was warm and full of flavour too. We were definitely made to feel welcome, and will definitely return. Good to know that they deliver too. We were at the restaurant early (5pm booking), so were the only people in the restaurant, however, there was a constant stream of delivery drivers collecting orders for delivery. It was my daughters birthday the following day, so tye manager gave her a small dessert on the house as well. Parking: A few parking spaces on the street just a couple of doors down from the restaurant , where you use the RingGo App or good old cash to pay for parking."

"Very good cafe in a converted house next door to South London Gallery that also does a good evening service with three course meal for on some nights. Varied menu, nice beers and wines, as well as non-alcoholic alternatives. Imaginative food with good coverage for all kinds of diets. Very friendly and attentive service from charming staff in a relaxed atmosphere. Variety of spaces, from small front garden through intimate front room' to larger rear dining area, and cosy back yard with outside tables. Great for a quick coffee and cake or lunch, but also a great place to hang out' for the evening for an in-depth catch up with friends. Highly recommended."

"Arrived within mins of the time frame required for seating waiting at the door As we were seated we were rudely told that there would be another table booked after us insinuating we would need to be quick! This made us feel uncomfortable and rushed from the off. We ordered almost immediately as we had been recommended to come for a Sunday roast. Our roast came very quickly which would have been brilliant, however this was because the food had clearly been sitting on the side for awhile. This was disappointing. The check back was not done and so I had to find a waitress to then bring her to our table and prove what was wrong. This was both embarrassing for her and myself and she was astonished with how I could put my finger in the gravy and show it was luke warm. The overall first roast was very disappointing because it was cold the Yorkshire was crispy and cold. After this we did get our lovely roast a good mins afterwards and we were very hungry by this time. The second roast was lovely and the check back was done promptly. We would have stayed for drinks and dessert but felt a bit rushed, so we went somewhere else instead. We felt like we were a bit forgotten about and not very well looked after. We had consumed our table water just after we got our food and no one attended our table to see if there was anything extra we needed or drinks to be taken! Just as a side note: we over heard from the table behind that they had been waiting an hour for their food to arrive and was very surprised it took so long! I don’t think they were impressed either with overall service. Hopefully these things can be rectified for other guests on the future. Kind regards"

"Would advise that times of last food orders are made clearer as we had an unavoidable situation that meant we were 10 minutes late for our 7pm booking. When I telephoned 30 minutes prior to our booking to advise that we were going to be late I was told that the last food orders were at 7pm! We could pre order our food but I had already explained that 1 of our party was held up in traffic on the M1 so we couldn’t do that. Then I was told that the chefs had been working all day. To be frank that is not my problem as a customer why should I be made aware of that. I was annoyed it soured our evening which was a celebration of our children’s birthdays. The booking system should be explicit as to when last food orders are or not allow you to book a table at that exact time, but earlier. Then my husband’s rump steak was inedible. He sent it back was given a sirloin as a replacement which was fine. However when the waitress came back to ask if my husband would like another steak she said that the chef “agreed” that the steak was of a poor standard. What a strange thing to say! Surely you would say that the chef apologises would like to know if he/she could prepare something else for him. A disappointing evening. My husband I visited the pub in early August 2020 for our wedding anniversary the overall standard was much better at that time."

"We had an excellent birthday dinner at this restaurant. The service was friendly and professional. The menu offers a wide variety of seasonal dishes that cater to different tastes. Although the pudding was not perfect, we appreciated the discount we were offered on our bill. The wine list is extensive and reasonably priced. The dining room, located in the conservatory, provides a lovely view of the garden. We have visited multiple times and have always experienced consistently good quality and service."

"We arrived at the restaurant without a reservation but were able to be seated. We found the food to be of higher quality compared to Pizza Express, which we used as a benchmark. The boys enjoyed their squid starter, while I always love the tomato brushetta. We also ordered mixed olives, which came in a tasty garlic herb dressing. For our main courses, the boys had a chicken burger and pepperoni pizza, both of which were generous portions. I opted for the pumpkin, ricotta, and crispy sage leaves ravioli, which was handmade and absolutely delicious. However, I wish the portion size had been larger or that it could have been offered as a starter for a lower price. The dish reminded me of a similar one at Watson and Walpole in Framlingham, but was much more affordable. We all ordered cokes, which were served with ice and lemon. The only thing missing was the chili oil that we used to find on the tables, which the boys requested for their pizza. We decided to skip dessert as we found the prices to be a bit high for the portion sizes, especially without a voucher and on a Saturday when there was no set menu offered. The service was decent, although one of the waitresses was quite loud when shouting orders across the restaurant, making the atmosphere a bit less relaxing. Instead, we opted to enjoy pastries, cakes, and coffee at H&H Honey and Harvey in Woodbridge, where I highly recommend the almond croissant."

"Visited with the family, in a rainy day after a day trip to Duxford IWM. Mains were tasty, but nothing spectacular. Deserts were bellow expectations, particularly the chocolate delice. Service was nice, very polite waiters, but the wait for all the dishes was horrendous. The backgardem with the pond offers nice views, and expect it to be amazing in a dry day. Due to the long waiting times and nothing spectacular in the food section I do not recommend the venue."

"We went for dinner before a show in the theatre next to the restaurant. We booked for to give us plenty of time. It was a Wednesday and it quickly filled up. We had smoked mackerel and the squash as starters then shin of beef which was melt in the mouth amazing. We had mash on the side. The whipped crowdie with blackcurrant sorbet and granola was equally delicious with intense flavours, Scottish cheesecake indeed. The service was great, every dish described and drinks provided promptly. Water given by default and bread served after. We were also offered more bread when we finished it. We had coffee to finish and also offered top ups. A comfortable room and warm too. Great food good value."

"What a delightful pub, full of atmosphere and good food. I just wish we had a pub like this in our local area in Bucks. I chose the cod which was perfectly cooked, but one small point, I would have preferred chopped chorizo instead of sliced. Only a tiny detail, I know. As we were away from home we noticed how much meat was on the menu. Clearly readily available plant based meals haven’t reached this part of the country."

"The Colonel Fawcett in Camden Town is a nice, quieter alternative to the bustling main drag. We stopped in for an early dinner and were impressed with the amazing food served here. The pub offers proper food, with generous and delicious starters. I opted for the Monkfish Scampi while my partner chose the venison chipolata sausages. Unfortunately, they had run out of sea bass but my husband graciously settled for the sausage and mash. Overall, we both enjoyed our meals and our experience at The Colonel Fawcett. The staff were friendly and attentive, and we will definitely be returning when we are back in Camden."

"We enjoyed our meal at Pier Eight although my wife dudn’t enjoy her starter .However this was deducted from our bill ! The panna cotta was ice but it was too thin and the texture was not as firm as it should have been .However overall the meal was good and the service was even better . May one criticism would be that the tables around the sides of the room are too close together leaving a very small space to squeeze through to get to your seat .Which would be very hard for people with a larger build and the closeness of other tables inhibitis converstation"

"I really like this restaurant and would rate it a 3. My only criticism is that the waitstaff could be a bit more attentive. A few times, different waiters asked us the same question, which was a bit surprising given how busy the restaurant was. While it's a minor issue, I do think it happened a bit too often. That said, it won't deter me from returning."
