"Attractive space and attentive service, but we might have gotten special attention because they noticed the Italian in our party. We attended the discounted soft launch. Food was good. Menu was ambitious but not everything was perfectly executed. Given that at full price our meal for four would have rang in over Β£200 (including 2 bottles of wine and service) I would normally expect every dish to be good. Though to be fair our bill was large due to the rather copious meal we had with quite a lot of shared starters. I don't think they are overpriced for the quality of food delivered. We started by ordering the Antipasto Misto, and a bread basket because the Italian at our table got excited by the fact that it contained pane carasau, a paper thin flatbread from Sardinia. The prosciutto and mortadella on the charcuterie board were memorable. Off the starters menu we had the pork fillet, prawns crudo, beef tartar and octopus. I didn't get to taste the pork. Prawn tartare was sliced into thin slivers and dressed with yuzu dressing. A nice dish, if a small portion. But I guess if you weren't sharing there is only so much raw prawn one wants to eat. Beef tartar could have been punchier for my taste, as there wasn't any caper or onion in this version. However, the sous vide egg yolk on top was a magnificent texture. Beef was a nice texture too, being hand chopped. Braised octopus was beautifully tender if an unattractive grey colour. The Italian refused to eat it because if its looks. The more for the rest of us. Overall, we found most of the starters a little under seasoned, but that's something that can be corrected to taste at the table. We each ordered a main. I had the smoked lamb rump medium rare which was good though a somewhat dainty portion. I didn't really discern the smokiness in the meat, but the charred slices of onion were a highlight. Another excellent component was the smoky BBQ celeriac garnish. The other orders for mains were the rabbbit ragout tagliatelle, the porcini paparadelle and the sea bass with clams. Everyone was happy with their choice. For dessert we all shared a single order of the blackberry doughnut. Very small portion with a spherical doughnut the same diameter of a Β£2 coin. it was unpleasantly tough and dense. There was ice cream on the plate, but the star of the dish were bits of meringue-like freeze dried shavings of yoghurt. There was a mix up regarding the soft launch discount on our bill that got corrected. We were offered a round of limoncellos on the house by way of apology. I thought that was a very gracious gesture. β with Sebastian Law and Claude Crommelin"

my sister and I had lunch from the 3-course vegetarian menu and we were both delighted with the good service and excellent food. my favourite course was the starter: creamy burrata with grilled aubergine and a hazelnut pest, in a word delicious!

the personal was amazing, as courtesy and warm. we have eaten at other places and as usual was eating fantastic. the appetizers were brilliant and we had pasta for net, two of their signature dishes that were not disappointed. I highly recommend that this place is an excellent value for money! View menu

I didn't went to the normal restaurant, but they have a food truck outside only for pizzas and is awesome! The pizza is just enough for one person and is delicious. I had a pizza carbonara that was very good with a egg in the middle. The price is quite good sitting around 8 pounds each. They don't have drinks there!

what a beautiful foundation. eating was extraordinary. the service was very good, especially due to the wonderful staff. I think it was quiet because of the virus, but that was what we were doing in the night. I think it's busy in normal times, because everyone who has been there would surely go back. I might be back in the summer if the tables were a real tasty bite outside.
