The Last Talisman in Southwark

If you are on the hunt for a top-notch Sunday roast (and let’s be honest, why wouldn’t you be?), then First Table is the way to go because who does not love getting 50% off their food bill? This time, we picked The Last Talisman, and wow, did we make the right call! The place is gorgeous. Think warm, cozy pub vibes with a touch of Asian flair, lots of dark wood, and just the right amount of charm to make your Sunday feel extra special. To kick things off, we grabbed a bottle of Côte du Rhône because Sunday roasts and wine are a match made in heaven. While waiting for our mains, we shared a portion of Korean fried chicken with Korean ketchup. Crispy, flavorful, and totally addictive. Then came the star of the show: crispy pork belly roasted with vegetables. Beautifully cooked and packed with flavor. Every bite was a winner. Service? Spot on. Super friendly, super attentive. Exactly what you want. Would we recommend it? Absolutely. Already thinking about the next visit!

Friday night with some friends, we came here as it was impossible to get a table anywhere else. Positives: •Happy hour 2 for 1 •No waiting times for a table on a Friday night •Cute environment but music too loud and even the waiter could not hear what we were saying •Food was OK Negatives •Small portions •Overpriced •Loud music •Service somehow not up to standard for t he asking price Overall we had fun and the food was okey but I feel 50/50 about coming back Main thing is a bit too pricey

Sunday roast was one of the worse plates of food I have eaten and to be charging £22.50, felt ripped off!! Was served grey, pale, limp beef, the texture was so weird and the fat not rendered at all. All the vegetables on the plate were underdone & the gravy a watery puddle of mess. Service was so bad, despite being well staffed (4 servers at the bar) and not at all busy, all of the staff were only interested in polishing cutlery/glasses rather than serving customers for the 2 hours we were there. Waited 30 minutes without any service, despite being in their peripheral vision we had to call their attention. No leadership or management visible. Couldn’t get anyone’s attention about the atrocious food, and when they did finally clear our plates after an hour & we gave them feedback, the chefs response was ‘that’s how we serve it’ - in response to slices of grey beef and undercooked veg. Would definitely not recommend.

I have been there twice, one year apart, both times for the Sunday roast and it's really good.

Get the spatchcock! Had a great evening here and ordered a number of dishes to share. Food was cooked well and we would recommend the spatchcock and the miso aubergine. The sizes are on the smaller side so it's good to come with a group of people. I'd give the mala chips and dirty rice a miss. Food was a bit on the colder side unfortunately but came quickly and service was friendly. Extensive list of drinks as well which is a plus. Would recommend

Fantastic drink selection and delicious salmon. Great atmosphere - not too loud for a dinner with friends (which is hard to find in London these days). Service was very good - we were not overly pestered and it seemed both relaxed but prompt. My own note is that the edamame came with a spice that wasn’t listed on the menu - it would’ve been amazing if I’d known this in advance as spices trigger my acid reflux which makes me poor company, so I would’ve asked for this to be changed. Thankfully it wasn’t too strong and the waiter kindly provided me with salt.

On the expensive side. Food was good in terms of quality but not the best value for money. The Old Fashioned cocktail was a miss.

Great place for a date. Great atmosphere and cool vibe

Had a work event here, so the area was booked out. Fantastic space and excellent service

Yummy small plate dishes. Great food and service in a lovely atmosphere. The cake was great!

Nice spot. Food and drinks are great. Space not so big.

Had drinks here with a big group for a birthday party. Delicious cocktails, good wine, nice atmosphere - pub feel.

Good service, super friendly staff. Nicest negroni I've had in a while, a really deep flavour. Food while tasty, was incredibly over-priced. £50 and I had to eat something when I got home because portions are so small.

Beautiful date night vibe and lovely service! My only qualm was that the door kept opening so the cool breeze was coming inside which made it quite cold and that took away from the mood. I love the tempura cauliflower and edamame, both are must try’s if you visit! Thank me later x

Although the food was nice it was cold, the service was well below expectations having to wait far too long for the initial drinks which is an easy win. If you ask the staff the location of the toilets and they do not know, i would question their teams onboarding and induction process. No personalisation of service and had to wait an age for the bill. The cocktails were fantastic!

Happy hour on a Sunday. No espresso martini 😭

El restaurante ofrece un ambiente agradable, y el personal era cortés y acogedor. A nuestra llegada, el establecimiento estaba bastante vacío, sin embargo, sentaron a otra pareja justo al lado de nosotros, lo que restó algo de la experiencia general. Las bebidas fueron elaboradas por expertos, aunque quizás un poco más pequeñas. Lamentablemente, encontré que muchos artículos, incluyendo la comida, eran bastante pequeños en tamaño de porción. Si bien la cocina era realmente deliciosa, me fui sintiendo la necesidad de una comida más sustancial después.

Amazing service and lovely staff! Highly recommended!

We came here for dinner (Saturday), and the place is beautiful, but the service was just horrible. The waiter didn’t communicate that they didn’t have some stuff from the menu, so when we made our decision, we needed to change again. The food arrived earlier than the drinks (we needed to ask again about where our drinks were). No one checked if the food was good or not. We needed to ask 4 people for the dessert menu and more drinks. Very disappointed.

Fantastic cocktails especially the 2 for 1 happy hour

I had never been to The Last Talisman before - but it was a great venue. We sat at the bar and Liv was fabulous, great cocktails and great chat. Thanks for adding to a fun evening.

Had a very good night, never been here before but came with a few friends for some drinks. We had some pints as well as cocktails for the happy hour. We also ate the cauliflower tempura and the korean fried chicken and they were delish. would come back! All the staff were very kind and helpful, especially Liv ! Highly recommended!!

Such a good night pranny is so lovely and does a great service. We had a lot of fun and will defo be back :)

Great night ! First Time here Cocktails were great - Liv was amazing! Had a special made not on the menu made and was delicious ( picture below) - Definitely recommend - really chilled vibes ! Great night overall

Genuinely such a lovely atmosphere, Liv was the best part of the night!

The vibe was great. Liv was amazing.

Amazing food, brilliant service, great vibe, delicious cocktails!

Went here for a private birthday celebration in their private dinning room downstairs, myself and my guests loved it, everyone had an amazing time. Huge thank you to Doville & Cecile who helped me anonymously with my enquires and so forth.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting an event at Mala Madre and I can confidently say that the experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment I reached out to inquire about availability, the communication was seamless and professional. The team responded promptly to every question and request, making the entire planning process incredibly smooth. On the day of the event, the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran flawlessly. Their attention to detail and commitment to providing exceptional service truly stood out. The space itself was gorgeous — elegant, spacious, and well-maintained, offering a perfect backdrop for our event. Throughout the evening, the staff were attentive, courteous, and always ready to assist, ensuring our guests felt welcomed and taken care of at all times. It's clear that Mala Madre @ the Last Talisman is committed to offering top-tier hospitality and creating memorable experiences for their clients. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful setting paired with outstanding service!

Came here for cocktails with a friend today and loved it! We had a margarita and some soft drinks. The bartender was lovely and Liv helped us choose the best cocktails to try. The vibes of the place were super cosy and we'll definitely come back!

Food was miniscule & not a lot of taste. Asked for katsu sauce & got ketchup! Each course took ages to come out. I can only assume it was ploy for us to drink more during courses. We had private room so was able to create our own atmosphere though room was tight for 14 people. Would I go back... Unfortunately not

Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Food was lovely.

We went there for the bottomless brunch and the magic show. The show was literally 20 minutes and just some childish tricks. The food was good but so small portions and we had to pay extra £5 for sides. The magician after the show he went to every table and he did some tricks to them and thank them for coming etc but he never came for us like we didn't exist. That made us feel so weird. Very expensive experience for what they offer. It's not worth the money.

I would like to leave a note regarding the remarkably rude service by all staff members at this place. We had booked this space a few weeks in advance for a group of 16 people for a celebration. Upon arrival, they gave pointed us to a space that would literally accommodate about 3 people. When I asked the hostess if there was anywhere else they could place us as we had booked for 16 people, she just shrugged her shoulders and said "well you can look upstairs yourself." I was not only shocked by the initial booking space they gave us but also by the the hostess' response. Rather than providing some resolution, she asked the customer to go scout the space. I then went on to order some food for the group and kindly asked the staff how big the serving sizes were so I could order accordingly; she looked at me like I had asked a really stupid question, shrugged her shoulders and said very disinterestedly "I don't know, they're small." You work here, it is not an unreasonable request to ask for an estimate so your customer can order appropriately to ensure the group is well looked after. Thirdly, we had ordered some bottles for the group and a staff member took a bottle which was more than half full away without even asking if we were finished! I then had to leave my guests and go chase this with the bar staff. The bar staff had the most sour look on their faces the entire night as if asking for any drink was an inconvenience for them. The cocktails tasted wonderful and the entire group really liked the vibe and location of the venue with comments even made to them wanting to host upcoming events here but we were all put off by the service and rudeness of the staff which was unfortunate as we would have been keen to book upcoming events here. Would definitely not reccomend hiring the space for large gatherings based on my experience and would appreciate their management to get in touch regarding this rather unfortunate service experience.

Strange rules regarding happy hour in this place. Server came to take drink orders and informed us we were ineligible for 2 for 1 cocktails as our booking was for 10 or more people. This was easily circumvented by ordering from the bar, so no idea why this rule is even in place. Have never come across this in London before!

Food was very nice and both the starters and mains came out really fast. Alex, our waiter for the night was kind, fast and efficient, even though the restaurant was quite busy. Many thanks to him because he made us feel very welcome. Looking forward to returning!

Ordered Korean fried chicken, it was literally just fried chicken topped with korean sauce. The Pork Bao Buns were basically just fat that after you cut it off only had a little meat left. Only good thing were the Edamame. Got 50% off with TheFork, so didn't complain too much. Wouldn't recommend going.

Almuerzo sin fondo decepcionante. Comida muy sabrosa pero el servicio muy pobre. Tardaron unos 15 minutos en llegar las bebidas incluso cuando el restaurante no estaba ocupado y luego tuvo que pedir más bebidas cada vez. ¡Yo no diría que valgan las 37 libras!

Really nice food, especially sunday roasts. shame they removed the bottomless version. Blue badge holders are also restricted to 3mnths of the year but other than that really nice evening for my family.

Fui al brunch mágico por el cumpleaños 40 de un amigo y después de un poco de confusión para empezar lo pasé fantástico. Nos dieron una copa de prosecco y un cóctel para llevar a ver el espectáculo de magia que era fantástico, así como las bebidas. Luego regresar al restaurante para pedir comida y bebidas todo incluido (en ese momento comenzaron los 90 minutos). Gran servicio, buena comida y probablemente tuvimos unas 5 bebidas cada uno incluyendo cócteles que eran todos agradables.

Thank you Liv for an outstanding evening! We came for a cocktail class but we stayed for so much more. The cocktails made by Liv were absolutely amazing and we had so much fun with her. We can only recommend the Last Talisman (especially if Liv is behind the bar). Thank you!

Sunday 5th went to 'The Last Talisman' and ordered the Duck Bao and the Beef Sirloin. Turns out, the 'Last' in the name wasn't just for show... No food! We left... What a bad joke, Waiter was OK, manager a bit of attitude. Avoid...

We spend New Years Eve here and we wouldn’t recommend it. The food was really bad: we tasted a lot of different dishes but didn’t like any of it - it didn’t taste fresh and the balance with consistency and spice was totally off. Several people left the restaurant and didn’t eat what they ordered. We tried two of their special cocktails that didn’t taste good. Then we ordered an amarato sour and it was okay. We only stayed because of the DJ and the magician who did a really good job!

Food was great although the portions were a little small for what was paid. The staff were friendly and welcoming although everything felt a little rushed on their end - perhaps they were too busy?

I rang this morning at 10am to book a table for 8-10 at 9pm. I rang them specifically to make sure their bar food was still serving. The person on the phone said yes and made a specific note in the booking that my show finished at 8:30 and we’d be there by 9. Half of us arrived 9:03 and the rest 9:07. The ones that got there first were not approached by a member of staff for any food or drinks order and by the time I went to the bar at 9:17 to ask why no one had been over then told me kitchen had closed. I had booked the table with people wanting drinks and food at 9pm and turned up close to that time to then be ignored by the bar staff who then wouldn’t serve us food. We all left and went to another restaurant. Don’t let people book a take if you can’t serve us food and drinks at the right time.

We had our team Xmas dinner here. The waiters and waitress were really rude. The mushrooms on a skewer, please they were lolly sticks, with 3 tiny mushrooms on them, think they were off. They bought out complimentary soup, more like salted dishwater with polystyrene bits in. My curry was so bland, i couldn't taste any curry flavours. The rum cocktail, no rum taste at all. Worst restaurant I have ever been to in my life. I was so hungry by the time I got home, had a mcdonalds, that tasted better than the meal. Not worth the £43

Lovely evening with colleagues. Can’t say too many good things about this restaurant though. The staff were good but the manager was rude. Name begins with Z. I complained about having one duck pancake when it stated on menu in a plural sense. The manager said that was ridiculous! If I said that in my job, I would get a disciplinary or even the sack! The general consensus was that he was rude and had no etiquette. The food was nice but the quantity was tiny! They were too fast with all the meals like we were a disturbance to them. Not worth the £45 especially when it was supposed to be a PREMIUM meal! Some of you might have a different experience but I didn’t enjoy this place. I was still hungry when I left this place which defeats the purpose of going to a restaurant!

Probably 10th time have been here. Food is great, and they often have great promos on drinks. A hidden gem.

Such a great bottomless brunch. Loved how spicy the food was.

Good surroundings, good food and a fair price.

Bottomless brunch was great. Choice of drinks so you don’t have to keep having the same drink over and over. Food was very good too. Overall good experience and would go again!

So many of our entire group got false charged. The bartender adds a fake service charge knowing people are drinking and then doesn’t show you the card machine when charging in order to get more tips from himself. Our group all experienced the same thing, and we have no issue with expensive bars but the drinks were reasonably priced so these service charges were completely fake and extortionate

Vinimos por el brunch sin fondo mago y recomendaría 100%. La comida era preciosa y un montón de opciones incluso para el personal vegetariano era tan encantador, atento y el servicio era perfecto. ¡El espectáculo de magia fue entretenido y el mago fue encantador e incluso vino a nuestra mesa!

Great venue for throwing parties. Attentive staff. Leo was very helpful and helped us setup our Halloween decorations. Would 100% recommend.

Enjoyed our Nemesis Margaritas, dim lit with cool interior.

Creo que mi mala crítica se debió en parte a la escasez de personal. Tuvimos que esperar más de 10 minutos para nuestras bebidas y luego se entregaron al mismo tiempo que nuestra comida, que odio. La comida era tibia y tenía que ser enviado de vuelta. A su regreso, un pelo estaba en mi comida que nos compensó para la segunda comida como resultado. A pesar de nuestra ubicación de la mesa inmediatamente fuera de la entrada del bar, y ella caminando varias veces, nuestro servidor (solo uno de dos para todo el restaurante) nunca hizo contacto visual a pesar de que saludamos a solo unos metros de distancia. La comida era promedio, Sunday Roast, pero la experiencia general fue pobre. Solo aceptan pagos electrónicos, no en efectivo. Hay mejores lugares para comer.

Welcomed by front of house well and taken to seat had a discount I informed them of. The waiter was very attentive and allowed time for us to look at the menu and order drinks after. We were a party of two and order one large plate abd three sides which I’d recommend minimum of 2 dishes each as it’s a tapas style. We got CHEF’S SPECIAL THAI BEEF SALAD , dirty rice , Mala chips & cauliflower tempera . Really enjoyed the different flavours and a nice subtle kick with the spices

10/10 for people creating cocktails DJ live music also great Good for drink and chill

I love this place. Mt Fuji cocktail was so unique and tasty 😋 this place has independent atmosphere, music are nice and chilled, drinks are both hit and miss but I can see what they try to do, there are variety of cocktails, I would love to try them all. Highly recommended.

Oh my God, cocktails from Leo, out of this world!

Was there on a Friday evening, great atmosphere! Was served by Leo at the bar, who was really sweet!

Leo was exceptionally attentive and passionate about making my drinks. Excellent margarita and very friendly service 👌🏻

Barman Leo made great cocktails and was super professional while being very fun.

Hadi managed the tables well considering it was his second day and it was very busy. Thank you for listening to our feedback and acting on it straight away. Wish you all the best Hadi! Please make sure you have more staff when it’s busy as we shouldn’t have to wait 40 mins before getting our drinks which came after our starters. In spite of this, the food and drinks were great! I had the duck and loved it!

Leo, your cocktails are the best! ☺️

We supplied the furniture for The Last Talisman and I have to say the interior is superb. The food and service is superb and a very friendly atmosphere

Pedimos unos platos pequeños. El calamar estaba bien, el vientre de cerdo estaba frío, la tempura de langostinos no tenía sabor. Los platos grandes eran cualquier cosa menos y el salmón era especialmente decepcionante ya que costaba casi £ 17 pero era más pequeño que la palma de mi mano - y tengo manos muy pequeñas, como niños. El arroz sucio era bonito (sin rima intencionada : ) . Las fichas de Masala fueron un fracaso. En primer lugar eran patatas fritas y tenían algún tipo de salsa que realmente sabía a mayo y cubierto con cebollas y algunos trozos verdes. La parte superior del brownie era demasiado difícil de cortar. El helado de semillas de amapola tenía un hermoso color carbón, pero no sabía mucho. Los inodoros eran desagradables - pisos y asientos muy húmedos y olorosos y una sensación anticuada para ellos.

This place is as close to Asian Fusion as McDonalds is to a sushi restaurant. The service was just rude (admittedly it was busy outside) but OMG the tiniest amount of joy would have been lovely. The special advertised on their mirrors had sold out.. The food is incredibly bland and most of it turned up cold. They seem to think that they can advertise Asian Fusion because they cook pretty average quality dishes and then add a 'store bought' Asian looking sauce.. Just a really shocking example of an attempt to look like an expensive place to eat (which it was!) Would never ever return!

Brilliant Magical Brunch!! I have been to over 20 brunches around London and this one was such fun and great value - I had walked past the Talisman so knew the decor was on point and unique - once booked we had options of large tasty food portions and the dessert was particularly amazing (the panna cotta and creme brulee) woweee.. The cocktails were made properly and beautifully presented and the intimate magic show was spectacular - really-how did he do it!?? Have recommended to all my friends - best 50 quid I ever spent 💕💕

Amazing atmosphere restaurant , very cool , staff are very friendly too ! I have been here to do facepainting for a birthday party and will return here with family for dinner , really love this restaurant! Highly recommend for a celebration too

Great food, great drinks. Welcoming staff and magical atmosphere.

From an American tourist perspective: There’s not much to say about this place except everything was wonderful. Our server was friendly and efficient. The pork belly small plate is a must try!! All of the food was absolutely delicious. If we had more time here I’d keep going until I’ve tried everything on the menu!

I booked for dinner for the Sunday roast, which I and my party were looking forward to. Only for us to arrive and be told that they couldn't find our booking, then we were informed, that they do not have enough food for us despite us making a booking the month prior for our booking in September. Our options are limited to pork and chicken. The only resolution offered was to spend more money on their happy hour. I feel better could have been done to honour what we booked for when we were not just walk-ins.

We had a truly exceptional experience here! the ambiance was absolutely amazing, the food was delicious, and Esther's warm hospitality and top-notch service made our visit truly special. Thank you so much, azlam photography, for recommending this wonderful spot to us. Your suggestion was truly appreciated!

Had an awesome time with friends. The service,atmosphere and the food was amazing. Perfect spot to hangout with friends…..The chef’s special thai beef salad is a must try……thank you Aslam for recommending this spot

The atmosphere was perfect, the food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch. Thanks, Aslam, for the great recommendation!

A fantastic dining experience from the same team who run Opium cocktail bar in Soho, amongst other great venues. My friend and I are gluten intolerant, so we were pleasantly surprised that the gravy was gluten-free and the chef even made us special Yorkshire puddings to accommodate our dietary needs. The menu states whether a dish is GIF (gluten-intolerant friendly) so may not be suitable for celiacs). The Sunday menu was great and lovely to have Asian side dishes with a traditional Sunday roast - I recommend the cucumber salad and Adobo tofu. Crispy roast potatoes are a rarity (often they are reheated or soggy) but these were very good. The service and ambiance was great, on arrival you feel like you are instantly transported to a Balinese speak-easy bar, with intense, dim lighting and Oriental art. Will definitely be returning here for the A La Carte menu, during the week.

For work, I took members of our Board to have an evening dinner in the Zen Den at the Last Talisman. Fantastic little room with excellent atmosphere, very nice waiting staff and fantastic food. I was also impressed with how helpful the managment were beforehand to help me prepare for the evening, even cooking food to special request for some of the members who had dietary and other requirements. Really I can't recommend this place enough. Some members of the party had cocktails as well as food, they are also highly recommended.

Great food, very attentive staff, nice atmosphere

Great food , excellent service , wasn't too noisy which is rare in a London restaurant, the bar serves amazing cocktails have been back several times , would definitely recommend. I feel very relaxed in here as its nice and chilled atmosphere especially with the bar downstairs you can go to after dinner Each time staff have been excellent.

Spent the night here for a work Summer party and was seriously impressed with the service, food, and atmosphere on the night. Particularly A? Forgot his full name but was the manager of the team on the night and ran the night very well. Thank you!

The Last Talisman a hidden jewel! After reading a few mixed reviews online, I was skeptical about trying The Last Talisman. However, being a massive foodie and encouraged by @nightkey, I decided to give it a shot. I’m thrilled that I did. From the moment I walked in, the service was exceptional. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, making sure every part of the dining experience was seamless. The cocktails were fantastic, well crafted, balanced, and unique, setting the tone for a memorable evening. Now, onto the food. The small plates were nothing short of spectacular. The mackerel was perfectly done, and the calamari was so divine that I regretted not ordering two portions. The pork skewers and Korean fried chicken were equally great, each dish a vibrant blend of flavours that took me on a culinary journey through Southeast Asia. The fusion of cultures and flavors was apparent with every course. The salmon with coconut rice was fresh, well-cooked, and had beautifully balanced flavors. The restaurant’s take on Nasi Lemak was intriguing, and while I didn’t try it myself, I was reliably informed it was a hit. Don’t miss out on their happy hour and Sunday Roast—definitely worth checking out. I’ll absolutely be heading back, and next time, I’m bringing friends. The Last Talisman has earned a spot on my must-visit list.

Went here for the bottomless brunch and although the food and cocktails were really good, unfortunately our whole experience wasn’t great. We were sat in one of the rooms where the open kitchen is and there was pretty much no music playing and we were basically sitting in silence having our bottomless while the main room was as much more vibey and loud! We refused to pay service charge because of this and when I explained why the member of staff said the large group that was sat next to us (who left about 30 minutes after we arrived) had requested for the music to be turned right down 🤷🏽‍♀️ when they left the music wasn’t then turned back up meaning we were sitting in a boring room in the venue and tbh we both felt pretty tired and bored by the end. If you’re going to have a bottomless brunch you need to make sure the atmosphere is actually lively and upbeat… we paid £37 each for this experience and unfortunately it really wasn’t worth it! There was also no communication about when exactly our brunch would end… again is being left in this quiet room of the venue meant we weren’t checked up on much by the staff once the massive group had left.

Great atmosphere with a lot of thought put into the decor of the place. Dishes were delicious, simple but perfect for a brunch. The drinks just kept coming without me needing to ask and staff were fantastic. Yollin the magician was the star of the whole experience and his performance is of a very high calibre, surpassing all expectations, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Perfect happy hour for after work drinks and the food is amazing!!

Came for an after dinner drink with friends and so happy we found it here! Good drinks & friendly service!

Mirra and Esther were amazing, they gave us the best service ever. Would love to see them again!! 10/10

12/10 expierence. Exceptional service, phenomenal drinks, and IMMACULATE vibes!!! Would highly recommend!!!

Fantastic restaurant, quality good and strong drinks. Will visit again

The magician is fantastic, his 20 seater show was intimate and cool would definitely recommend. The brunch was also nice food but the best part was how quick they are in the service! 6 drinks in less than 90 mins amazing

We went for the Magical Brunch and the magician was amazing! The food was wonderful and the service was the best I've had! We had drinks to our table as we were halfway through to our drinks (not watered down either! The staff were so lovely and new a lot about their foods! Definitely recommend! Thinking of doing my hen night here!! Brilliant concept!

Nice decor, cool vibes. Service was quite slow, and food was just okay. Ordered the adobo tofu, fried chicken, pork belly bao buns, and grilled duck. Unfortunately, most things were overcooked. Was also there for 2-4-1 cocktails, but didn’t particularly enjoy them either. Nice try.

Not impressed with the last two visits. Table was very dirty with food remains left all over it. Asked a waitress to please clean it up. She reacted with attitude and did a lousy job barely cleaning it. Don't think I will be back anytime soon. Was a good place in the past, lost it's edge, now very average at best.

£16 for a SINGLE piece of salmon fillet. If you want a side (chips/rice/broccoli), gotta pay another £5 for it. All this would have been fine JF the service is good, but it’s not. The waitress really wanted to rush customers out. Came grabbing our plates when we still have some food left. Then immediately gave us the bill when we said we don’t want dessert. Yikes.

Thanks Jim for an unforgettable night! Best margaritas ever. And you were right: no hangover the next morning.

Great experience at the Last Talisman! The place is very nicely organised with interesting decorations inspired by the Asian culture. We went on a Sunday and we had a great Sunday roast. Service was excellent and great selection of drinks. Definitely recommended 😊

Lovely food but disappointed I have to rate 3 stars based on staff and drinks. Upon arrival for a food booking there is no one there to seat or greet you, just a dj. I ask the dj where to go, he says ask bar man, I ask the bar man where to go and he says to wait too. After all the waiting, the server comes over and says we’ve given away your table as it’s 16 minutes later and they have a 15 minute waiting policy. Ridiculous it’s hardly my fault! Spent half that time waiting about for her and the tables weren’t even all booked. Irrelevant of all that, it’s 1 minute over! Then have to wait an extra 15 minutes for a new table given to us by a moody, stroppy, unwelcoming waitress. Service seems to be a big let down for this place and a main problem, seemingly down to this fed up waitress. Nothing is evidently being done to solve this problem given its continuity, which is not surprising upon reading the same copied and pasted, generic, unapologetic response to other reviews. However, our male server was absolutely fantastic and is the only one of the lot who knows what good service is. Food is great however drinks are disappointing, which isn’t great for a “cocktail” bar. The Bellini promises taste of vanilla and peach with a berry topping, it literally tastes of pure Prosecco and bartender put no topping. Overall cocktails look basic, taste plain, and not special AT ALL.

Ordered the beef salad and it was awful, didn’t come with anything it said. A few leaves with no dressing for £18. We then asked to bring out a cake for a birthday and they said we would have to pay £60 if we wanted our own cake … after paying hundreds on a bill. Cocktails very over priced too. Go somewhere else !

Josh was Amazing, we had wonderful drinks and great service with him!!!!! Definitely a must guys!!!!
