The Coal Shed Restaurant in Brighton and Hove

Superb lunch to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Thank you for the complementary champagne.

We had a lovely time. Everything was of a very high quality. Have already booked again.

Excellent menu and service. The quality of the steak was fantastic and the variety of other options exceptional. This will definitely become my Brighton venue of choice.

It's great to see investment in North Street, and I was expecting good things from the Black Rock Group. The steaks were lovely, the waitress was attentive, the wine list was pricey, but dinner yesterday evening has to go down as one of the least relaxing dining experiences I've had for a while. The benches along the wall reverberate with every movement from other diners, several of whom were really fidgety. Please get some chairs.

Nice food, quite expensive though.

I booked as a treat for my partner and I. It is somewhere I have wanted to try for a while, so I was looking forward to it and I was not disappointed. The welcome was warm as we were escorted to our lovely table, our waiter was straight over and the cocktails were ordered along with the fermented flatbread (a must try) and olives. A delicious taster for what was to come. Our waiter Claudio was attentive but not invasive, I'm a big sharer so we ordered the fillet, seafood bonne femme with 3 sides to share. The steak was perfectly cooked and the flavour of the bonne femme was beautiful. Claudia also helped me find the perfect glass of red to compliment the meal too. The best meal I have had in a while and I am already looking forward to the next time we visit.

Having arranged to meet with family for a birthday lunch, we were warmly welcomed. Our waiter was the best, together with his servers who went over and beyond all they could to attend to our needs. Our food choices did not disappoint, with the sirloin & wagu beef simply to die for and cooked to perfection. The only thing stopping us from rating 5 stars across the board was the noise levels. At times we couldn’t hear ourselves talk even though we were sat in a corner. Will definitely be back though to experience other delights from the amazing menu. 🤗

Great place and good steak. Staff were friendly and conscious of my time limit and suggested steak cuts accordingly. Not value for money but quality food and wine.

We had such a special time here for lunch today! Food was incredible, the service from start to finish was top tier putting people first. I was really impressed and felt greatly welcomed. Thank you! Catching up with some friends, this was a real treat, such a great interior and new building, located on a known busy street in Brighton, but as soon as your inside I didn’t feel like I was in central Brighton! It’s got a great calm atmosphere with live DJ Music. Creating such a great hospitality experience. We will be returning Thank you!

Will most certainly be visiting again . Second time in two weeks.

Grand reopening of the eponymous Brighton institution on North Street. Lovely large dining room and cocktail bar, food is really very good, from butch fire cooking to delicate starters. Service was excellent, attentive and helpful. Also great atmosphere. Toilets dimly lit so watch your step! Recommended.

Food amazing but service slow and music too noisy. Could not hear the waitress speaking to us

Visited for lunch for four of us yesterday. What a great buzzy venue. The service was excellent and the food was really outstanding. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is just a steak bar….the turbot was excellent.

Stand out food and service . Do go it is fab

Absolutely lovely restaurant in the middle Of Brighton's busiest street but felt very removed and quiet, I had the set menu for Pre theatre as I wanted the sea bass and scalloped potatoes, soft fresh and charred with a buttery sauce. We also had the seared salmons, scallops and if you want a bread you can’t go wrong with their Sourdough.

We were greeted with warm welcome and enjoyed a pre-dinner drink at the friendly bar before being shown to our table in the well designed and atmospheric interior. Choosing from the bountiful a la carte menu, we plumped for the perfectly cooked Wagyu steak and half a rotisserie chicken. Tempted also by the side dishes, we gave in to some crunchy greens, parmesan fries and a delicious portion of mac & cheese. This was accompanied by a lovely Primitivo from the very decent wine list. Service was friendly and attentive ensuring a most enjoyable evening.

When I first moved to Brighton a few years ago, I needed to celebrate an occasion with a good steak! All fingers pointed to The Coal Shed! Now in it's great, new location, one need look no further for the best ribeye and fillets. The mashed potatoes by the way are the best we've ever had! It was simply the best gastronomical experience I have had in a long, long time. R D A, Brighton

First time at The Coal Shed, it was brilliant. The food was great, as was the atmosphere, buzzy but not so loud you couldn't hear each other. Service was impeccable, the guy that brought the drinks was really great too. Absolutely coming back!

Lovely lunchtime set menu. Great service and atmosphere. Decor was very impressive

Wednesday 23rd for Octoberbest and that was a lovely meal at a great price lovely staff. We’ll come again, recommend

Boyce Street was a favourite and booked the new North Street for Husbands birthday. Was worried the atmosphere of the old restaurant would be lost in a bigger venue. Wrong to be worried. Excellent service, and fabulous food. 1kg Porterhouse was not cheap, but worth every single penny. Creamed spinach was a revelation. The whole evening was not cheap, but you really don't care. Can't wait to come back again

This is the most exceptional dining experience. From the moment you arrive, you are well looked after by a team with knowledge and experience and great senses of humour. Service is attentive without being intrusive. The quality of meat is simply superb and is cooked to perfection by Chefs who understand the differences between rare, medium rare and well done. The accompanying sauces, vegetables are excellent. The wine list priced accordingly for a restaurant of this calibre. Their deserts finished off the meal with finesse. It is rare that one departs a restaurant and spends the rest of the evening discussing the excellence of a meal. We recommend this restaurant most strongly. This is not just any steakhouse, this is haute cuisine at its finest. It is not cheap, but you will not find better food in Brighton.

We love the food here, and food service is great but for some reason and it happened in their old site, the drink order while you are waiting is so slow. I had to chase and was told they were being made but it wasn’t a fancy cocktail and for 10 minutes I watched the bar staff chat behind the bar and not make drinks. The only think I would say needs to be improved

Best steak I've ever had. Booked for October best and had the pork belly and flat iron steak - absolutely stunning 100/10, will be back again!

Amazing love the new location and décor

This was our first visit to the new Coal Shed in Brighton and we were not disappointed .....my husband and I shared a sirloin steak which was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious, Herman had fish which looked very nice too, not sure about the Caesar Salad but the Firecracker Cauliflower was superb .....wine prices (by the bottle) were okay too. The service was great and we couldn't believe that it was packed on a Monday night! We will definitely be back .....the best restaurant in Brighton !!!!

Great service, venue and food was delicious. Could do with some cheaper wines though

Absolutely loved the "new" Coal Shed! Beautiful decor, lovely atmosphere, great service and hands down the best roast I have eaten out. All 7 of us agreed we have found our new regular Sunday spot!

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of dining at The Coal Shed in Brighton with my wife, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Nestled in the heart of the city, this restaurant is a true gem for anyone who appreciates exceptional food and service. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the staff and quickly seated in a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The menu offered a wonderful selection, but it was their renowned steak that caught my eye—and it did not disappoint. By far, it was the best steak I have eaten in quite some time. Cooked to perfection, each bite was a testament to the quality and skill in the kitchen. The sides and starters were equally delightful, complementing the main course beautifully. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the dining experience with their friendly and professional service. In summary, I highly recommend a visit to The Coal Shed for anyone in Brighton. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this restaurant promises a memorable meal that is sure to impress. We will certainly be returning for another exceptional dining experience.

Had a fantastic time at the Coal Shed Brighton! We were running 25mins late and they were so understanding and welcoming. The food was great well seasoned and tasty! I was pleased with the whole experience and will defo go back next time I’m in Brighton

The Coal Shed is very impressive. It’s big, but they’ve got it running very smoothly. Think high end east coast American grill restaurant, dark, plush, spacious, wide comfortable seats, low lights shiny surfaces wood trim. Quite noisy and upbeat on Saturday night with a dj spinning the digits, but you settle into it and it’s not intrusive. Service efficient, friendly, relaxed, like they know already what they’re doing, and nothing will be too much trouble. Good range of snacks, starters and mains, yes the meat is still the main event but there are interesting fish options, I suspect veg and vegan less so. We didn’t go raw shells this time but will be back for that, my crab and water melon carpaccio starter was delicate and pretty, one of our party had the take on prawn toasts - delicious and moreish. All the steaks were perfect, I went for turbot with a beetroot salad and both were interesting and perfectly put together. The desserts are mainly at the US style end of things - we had chocs and sweet selection, really good and nice lighter thing. Wine - Really good Muscadet I stuck with until a final glass of the Argie red that my partner had which was also v balanced and worked with steak and choc sweets. Big, sociable, very well run, top notch “grill plus” food; within seconds you have left north street Brighton and you’re in downtown Boston with good taste sophistication.

Fantastic experience all round to celebrate two birthdays. We wanted to treat ourselves and this was it. Came recommended by a friend and I’m glad we booked! Thanks for a great meal.

Visited last night and loved everything about this restaurant. Fabulous food and atmosphere and the staff were the best - the service was faultless

Fantastic place! Food was excellent and staff were amazing. We were celebrating our daughters 18th and the coal shed team made our evening very special. We will definitely return when we visit Brighton again.

We went last night as a table of 4, it was really excellent! The food was amazing and the staff were so friendly, you could tell they really enjoyed their jobs!

Me and my boyfriend went in there for a drink and ending up booking for Valentine’s Day! The menu looked incredible, the restaurant was gorgeous and the drinks were delicious! Our waiter Henry deserves a raise! He was amazing and could’nt have looked after us better!

It was a treat for my husband's birthday, the staff were Very pleasant and made our experience very joyful. The food was excellent.

I had lunch at The Coal Shed with a friend yesterday and it was an incredible experience! The steak was perfectly cooked and full of rich flavor—definitely one of the best I’ve had. The starters were equally fantastic, especially the miso Aubergine, and while I can’t remember one of the other dishes, it was equally amazing. The drinks, were a great complement to the meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was impeccable. Overall, the quality of the food and the atmosphere made it a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend The Coal Shed for anyone looking for excellent food and service!

Excellent food and service with a modern clean interior.

Outstanding Brighton restaurant, recently re-located to North St. that consistently delivers delicious food (their succulent, dry, aged steaks are our favorite) and warm, friendly service from 'at-door greeting' to 'good-bye; come again'! We travel 40+ miles from SW. London as often as we can to dine here - invariably for our 'special occasions'. Cannot over-recommend. Geoff Gwynne,

Took my brother out for a birthday meal after searching for a decent steak house in Brighton. I hadn't head of The Coal Shed before but the website looked decent, so we went for it. We shared a Porterhouse and Sirloin. The Porterhouse was pretty decent but the Sirloin was fantastic. I'm often disappointed when ordering a steak in a restaurant, however we came away extremely satisified. Our waiter was Claudio - he was great, attentive and put up with my rubbish banter! Thanks all, we had a great time, thanks for making our evening out a good one. I'll be back.

Tracey, was amazing, a great host, will be back x

The food at this restaurant has always been amazing. But the new location and new interior design have pushed The Coal Shed into the stratosphere of Brighton dining. It’s a real scene right now with the gorgeous bar just inside the front door and the beautiful dining room further back. We’ve been there several times and we will definitely be back.

Took a friend for dinner. Very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Staff were well informed and attentive. Food was great. My friend had sirloin which was over cooked but replaced fairly quickly, and I went for Wagyu which was cooked perfectly and was lovely. Was also very happy that the Coal shed restaurant accepted cash as payment. Many restaurants have stopped doing this which I think is ridiculous. I would not frequent an establishment that won’t accept cash. Will 100% return to the Coal shed. Will maybe try the chateaubriand next time.

We booked a lunch under the Octoberbest offer and had a superb meal. Very attentive staff even when they became busy. The food portions were generous and everything was beautifully presented. It was a nice touch to have a free glass of very tasty bubbly included. We will be back.

Absolutely blown away by the upgraded location. Food was spot on as usual had the Sirloin. Greens and Chips.. Cosy and plush surroundings! Great wine too! Shout out to the Empanadas too 👏🏼

Best restaurant in Brighton, not just for food, but the inside of the restaurant is beautiful! The mocktails are the best I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys tasty food in an eye catching location.

We were really impressed by the new Coal Shed - we were worried the warm ambience of Boyce Street might be lost in the new bigger premises, but it's been very well done. The food was as good as always - a star lost as the much anticipated brioche brulee was unavailable!

Really impressed with this place, have been twice and can’t fault it. Very reasonably priced items on the menu as well as higher priced , feel there’s a good selection of things to eat and drink. Drinks are great. Service is great. Very very good sourdough! Will be coming back often

Excellent service from (I think) Tim.

Great new location. Excellent food as always. We had the Sunday Roast for the first time and it was delicious.

The new Coal Shed is absolutely stunning. It was brilliant before but this has taken things to a whole new level. Very bougie but beautiful and classy, great for special occasions. We had incredible food and great drinks but the thing that stole the show was the service. Every single person was incredible, fun and just made our whole experience even better. The team here are fantastic and made my husband's birthday really special. Can't wait to go back 🥰

The new venue is stunning, extremely friendly staff from the moment you walk in to when you leave - even the staff who arent attending to you say hi and strike up a chat (its great!). The restaurant has been finished to a very high standard and it sets the scene in preparation for the oncoming food. It had a great vibe and would highly recommend

I will definitely visit again.It was my birthday yesterday and I wanted to have dinner at a fancy restaurant,saw this restaurant on my way back from work and decided I would visit. The food was 100% Service was spectacular. (Too bad I can't remember the name of the guy that attended to us)he was amazing. Atmosphere was 110% for me. I got a complimentary dessert because it was my birthday. (That was so thoughtful) The cocktail was everything, honestly, I couldn't fault anything. I will visit again and I recommend this restaurant

I came here with my partner for a romantic night out and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and Hannah in particular was very attentive; we didn’t have to wait long for anything. The food was exquisite as was the wine.

The vibes were immaculate. From the greeting by the fantastically dressed hosts to everyone that interacted with us we just felt looked after. Our waitress Hayley was attentive and explained everything. Big shout out to Kieron because the drinks were stone cold delicious, the apricot and fig margarita is still in my mind. And don't get me started on the food, the steak was cooked to perfection and the flavours of everything were delicious. I'll be coming back very soon!

Went with a friend as a gift “ the coal shed experience” the new place is wonderful ! The food does the talking ! Faultless on every level . The service was was warm efficient but not intrusive ! The best steak I have ever eaten

Great service, atmosphere - food was amazing and drinks were great as well. Pictured is the Sunday Roast (sharing) would like to point out we ordered two sharing roasts for two people (it would feed 4) so what you see is for two people being eaten by one; also has cauliflower cheese - was stuffed.

Amazing meat restaurant in Brighton. Top notch service and food. Nice design and atmosphere for a great experience near the center of the city. From the greeting while entering the restaurant till the moment that we needed to collect our coats, everything was in perfection, offering a pleasant experience.

We had a great meal with fantastic service and I love the fact you guys do lots of wine by the glass and the carafe !! Super venue cant wait to come again

We ate here on a Sunday at 18 -30. We liked the decor in this spacious restaurant and the fact it was buzzy and busy. Drinks, food and Service were all good. But, and it's a big but, the music when we arrived was not only hideous drum n' bass but it was being played at a deafening level. I couldn't hear our waiter, you could see people leaning across tables to make themselves heard. Four guys next to us were shouting to each other to have a conversation. There's no way we would have tolerated that racket for the length of a meal! We told our waiter how unhappy we were about being deafened and she said other tables had complained. Fortunately some must have listened because the awful music was turned down. It's crazy! A sophisticated restaurant shouldn't have a rave sound track, least of all on a Sunday. People go to a grown-up restaurant to chill! It's not a Shoreditch pizza joint. Anyway do go but if they're still playing an ear bleed sound track, say something.

Excellent choices of starters The meats are perfect And a fun atmosphere.

Excellent food and service, a very beautiful and warm space to enjoy the food and company. The roasts on Sunday are excellent. Looking forward to going back soon, thanks to the team for looking after us. Barney and Cherry x

I have always loved this place. The food is exceptional! The new venue does not disappoint! Its super vibrant and has a great atmosphere. My only disappointment and gripe was the wait for our food. Although we ordered a 1.3kg shared steak, the wait was over an hour! … and although that is potentially understandable, no one warned us it would be that long. Something to bear in mind. Not cheap but well worth the money if you are prepared to spend. Perhaps the sides (chips etc) could be bigger portions considering the overall price and wait time.

The Argus lies. This is another restaurant that pays for favourable advertising, not for fair advertising. The quality of food and its 3 stars. Staff behaviour 3 start. Atmosphere 3 star. For the price that we paid, we were expecting the quality off the food to be top notch , definitely wasn't the case. The staff was busy chatting with each other, that wouldn't have been a big problem as we all like socialising, but the attitude towards costumer it was awful. I would recommend it to anyone who wants quality food and good atmosphere to avoid this place.

Great menu, wonderful staff and overall atmosphere

An amazing experience this place never fails to disappoint and they have just opened a new branch. Dougie has a great team and you can tell he has put personal touches in. The attention to detail is superb. Hayley our server was great she has a great sense of humor and was very knowledgeable about the dishes. WE WILL BE BACK 👍🎈🎉

Coalshed goes from strength to strength in it's stunning new location! Went for lunch with friends and was very impressed. Food, setting, atmosphere and service all top notch. Can't wait till the next time. Cheers to Raz and the rest of the team x

Staff are incredibly rude, zero customer service. Toxic attitudes and toxic atmosphere. Avoid !

As soon as we arrived we had a lovely welcome from the seater/ greeter. The decor is fab, with a cocktail bar at the front. Great ambience and buzz. Well trained waiting staff, with attention to detail,and warm approachable attitude. Food was great, with extensive wine list. Would definitely recommend this place. Thanks for a great job!

I met up with 2 friends for an epic lunch. We chose the Ridgeview sparkling to start and a range of snacks and starters. My friends don't eat breakfast and were ravenous. The service was friendly and responsive - I requested a banquette seat as we were going to be there a while, and they graciously accommodated my request. The restaurant was heaving yet we could hear ourselves talk and we never felt abandoned. The starters were a mix of vegetarian and meat. Inventive and delicious. Our steaks came as requested and were cooked perfectly. The chips were fabulous but the coal-fired vegetables were a welcome addition. I had a cheese plate which hit the spot and the others went for sweet dishes which they enjoyed. The Sauterne was a great accompaniment to all our desserts/cheese. One of my guests owns a wine auction house and I asked him to review the wine list. He felt the there was a good selection at reasonable prices. We had Chianti Classico (rather than a Bordeaux or Malbec) with the steaks - this restaurant also owns Tutto, a lovely Italian restaurant and we thought that an Italian wine would do us proud here. It did. My pescatarian and vegetarian friends would enjoy a wide range of dishes here as The Coal Shed celebrates a method of cooking rather than just focusing on steak. Steak is their specialty but they are not a 'one trick pony'. Go and enjoy!

Epic addition to the Brighton restaurant landscape. Great service and dry aged steaks on offer, great drinks and ambience. Highly recommend, these folks absolutely delivered for a spectacular 30th Bday! Thank you :')

Beautiful restaurant! Great steak, and friendly staff! Definitely book in advance on Saturday nights!

Lovely new venue. Food fantastic and service excellent. We will be coming back again.

We have waited for The Coal Shed to open on North Street for quite a while and to say we were pleased, is an understatement. The whole experience was wonderful and the food - WOW simply stunning. Definitely recommend and we will be coming back!

Excellent evening and steak dinner at The Coal Shed, Brighton. Staff, ambiance and food hit the spot perfectly.

First time at the New Location, on Sunday Lunch time. The Decor is superb. The New Cocktail Bar looks great. Nice you can do walk ins. The Food is excellent . The Service was exceptional ( it’s only been open a few weeks) As good as anything in London. They have smashed it out the park.

Absolutely fantastic experience! - Food was great as expected, but the service and ambience of the new location was top class, couldn't recommend highly enough. A meat lovers dream.

We had a wonderful afternoon at The Coal Shed, we’ve been to their previous location and the only change is the larger premises. Same fantastic welcome, delicious menu, all dishes perfectly cooked, excellent wine list, superb service, spotless toilets and beautiful environment throughout. The brûlée brioche was a particular highlight!

I arrived at the new home and I had only opened the door when I was greeted by a beautiful hello and big smile. A very warm welcome, I was brought to my table, given my menus and asked about drinks. As I wasn’t drinking I asked for some suggestions for non alcoholic cocktails and I was given a beautiful cocktail of which I had 2, I had the most enjoyable experience with beautiful food all topped off by great service, I’ll be a regular here.

Love the new venue, great atmosphere. The menu is just as you would expect from this quality chef and his team

Checked out the new location in North Street, still the best steak in the city with a first class service and ambiance, the multi million pound refurbishment shows. The tables however, were very close together, we are talking 12 inches apart which is intrusive with couples sitting either side of you. Not ideal, hence a reduction to 4 stars from my original 5 star review. Bar and DJ were good. Still quite expensive though, budget £150 - £200 for a meal for 2 with wine.

The chateaubriand was delicious. Lovely service and atmosphere.

Not cheap, but then you pay for what you get and everything was 10/10, ambience, team, food. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We had a great time in new venue. The steak was outstanding and staff brilliant with us. Tomahawk steaks. Yes.

Excellent food and cocktails. Friendly staff, comfortable and smart surroundings.

Amazing and attentive service. Would return 😋👍🏻

From the greeting to the farewell (til next time) everything was fabulous! The staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was sublime, I literally want to work my way through the entire menu now. The menu is very comprehensive and I’d be surprised if anyone couldn’t find multiple dishes to enjoy. We are really excited about going back for round two!

I very rarely leave Google reviews but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to rave about my experience at The Coal Shed yesterday. From the get-go, the service was absolutely incredible and the staff were so attentive The decor is absolutely stunning - you could honestly have been transported to a restaurant in Mayfair instead of North Street in Brighton. The attention to detail was just stunning and the lighting was spot on giving our date night the perfect atmosphere. The food was absolutely next level. The chateaubriand was cooked to perfection, the half chicken was the best we've ever had and the mac and cheese was to DIE for. All in all the best dining experience that I have had in Brighton probably ever - I can't wait to return

We booked last minute by phoning and they fitted us in for lunch. Excellent service and the new restaurant is lovely. Food was excellent. We all had steak, but we all thought the best dish was the firecracker cauliflower which was recommended to us. We suggest the chicken side dish is cooked in the same way. And the steaks were excellent too. We will be back

Me and my wife chose this place for our 2nd wedding anniversary. They were so accommodating The steak was incredible and perfectly cooked. The wine they suggested was perfect . To top it off the sticky pudding was delicious thank you see you again

Second visit since recent move to North Street - loved it so much, went back to celebrate my 60th. Great attentive service from all staff , esp Aisha. Food choices always excellent, with every item a delight. We had a booth, so plenty of room on table for all the sides. Yes it’s pricey , but always memorable

Great service from start to finish with delicious food and drinks. Atmosphere was fun and buzzy and look forward to returning. Great espresso martini’s too! Loved it 👏👏

Great service and great food! The upgrade to a much larger restaurant has not impacted the service at all - if anything it was even better! Lovely starters and, as always, an amazing steak! Thank you - see you soon x

The food was really great. The new design inside is stunning. I'm looking forward to going again when the roast dinners are on. I will keep an eye out for when, but I think I joined the newsletter. The best chips I've ever had - the thick cut beef fat fried ones. The level of service and the time that the food came was also excellent, and is performing at the standard of a high end restaurant.

First visit to the new address & totally wowed by it! Thanks for the little tour around - you've done a fab job! And the food - well who cannot enjoy the Coalshed menu? It was a perfect Sunday & we'll definitely be back soon!

I visited The Coal Shed in Brighton in North Street. They’re recently moved from their previous location. Loved the decor in every room as it is slightly different for each section. Food was delicious the best in Brighton. Staff were friendly and very helpful and gave good choices for options that suited us. Will definitely be booking again

We had a wonderful evening at The Coal Shed last night ! Amazing staff , attentive slick service & delicious food ! We loved it & will be back soon !

Great cocktails, so much option on the menu & the atmosphere on a Saturday night was amazing

I could have gone lower in this, but the steak was very very good. The decor is pleasing and the chairs comfortable. The staff were, on the whole very good too. However, we both ordered an English Garden Salad. Look at the menu, it is very clear what is in each salad. This included, strangely, avocado, fennel and a dressing. Basically Salad leaves and 2 ingredients, not difficult. Had we received this, we would have been happy as that is what we ordered. To be given a small bowl of lettuce leaves with a sliver of radish in was disappointing but we sent it back for what we had ordered. We got the same back again. By now the chateaubriand was going cold and so I stood up to find staff. They took it back. Then we got a 3rd salad and... they had managed to add a little avocado to it but still, not fennel but still with radish. That was bad enough but the attempt to make out that I was stupid and did not know what was seasonal in an English garden? Seriously? Avocados do NOT grow in an English garden but fennel does and it is in season. Why not just offer a different salad? They chose to call it English Garden and then add avocado but frankly, if you have run out of ingredients you TELL the customer, you do not ruin their evening by having to complain 3 times about the side salad. Yes they took the salads off teh bill but really? Too little too late.
