"I have eaten twice in the pollen street social. once for business lunch and once for personal dinner. the youngest is the personal dinner. I wouldn't eat here again if no major changes were made. I expect more from a michelin star restaurant that invites top dollar/pound for their food/service. two tasting menus and weinparing cost us only over £400 $551,) which it was not worth at the end. my biggest problem with pss is that her plant-focused tasting menu is vegetarian and vegan can be made by exclusion of ingredients. why not be kreatiw and add different ingredients, or offer a vegan menu overall? most items on the tasting menu repeated ingredients and taste from previous curses. many of the aromen used was an acidic lemon flavor that was good for a plate but very old got later. the only unforgettable cure for me was the pea risotto that might have been amazing if they replaced the excluded ingredients with something else. the lack of creativity for vegan dishes was disappointing. we were drilled through eating and actually quite bored all the time, as the dinner took 4 hours that asked us for the bill, so we could go at the end. Finally the person I was fed with did not get the vegan menu and the first portion was a afternoon tee irritating, the restaurant put both the non-vegan and vegan items on the same servier plate. I had a big problem with it, but they insisted it was good. one of the objects served with the afternoon tea was identical to the non-vegan version and those clowns who told me everything were completely wrong. my dining room partner ate fortunately the article of his side first and knew that he had the wrong one and that they put the non-vegan on my side. the personal was not susceptible to us when we told them that they screwed up and the non-vegan product on my side and the vegan product on the other - no excuses from the restaurant. that was irritating. I recommend you to separate her when she eats here with a non-Vean. lunch in January 2020 the vegan tasting menu for lunch was much smaller, but the service lasted one more. hopefully they will get with the times that veganism is given huge in london."
