"really disappointed by bumpkin. I am a great fan of show and have supported the owners business companies over the years including their bars in london, and the cookbook a few years ago back. I finally made it to london and bumpkin was one of the top on my lists. I knew it was a pub with traditional British food, but our experience was terrible. first the waiter was unfriendly (except the manager) and not at all attentive. we have made a reservation after we have said that it was crowded for Sunday, and we went with only three other tables occupied. we ordered a wein and a wodka tonic and it took almost twenty minutes to receive them. our food took longer. the atmosphere was boring and dated. it is not a trendy modern place, and I knew that, but the young man made it look beautiful on the television. the seat cushions were all ripened on the stand. the server wore shorts and attachment plates, it just looked unprofessional. the food was good. the carrots were hard, the meat was so fat, there was no real meat in the round, and the veg was just ok. I'd never come back. had super high expectations as the owners claim to be some of the most famous restauranters in the world."
