The Parakeet in City of London, Westminster

First and last time dining since the pandemic and change of ownership. Firstly dogs are now restricted from entering the dining area even though there is no partition between it and general seating so their excuse of allergies rang hollow. Secondly they have moved the kitchen from the middle of the pub and relocated it to the men's toilet, which seems to lack proper ventilation as the place smelt of burning fat and not quite the lovely smoky atmosphere a lot of reviews have claimed. Lastly the food was adequate at best, portions are small for their price and the roast beef i ordered turned up raw and a waiter seeing me push it around my plate offered "to have the chef fry it up a bit" Gave them an extra star for their roast potatoes, so many place get them wrong but were rather good here.

Really really loved the parakeet . When first served we weren’t sure but once the veggies potatoes and leek gratin came it all started to get good ! Lovely brilliant staff and excellent food . One of the best in north London for sure

After hearing a lot about this place I finally managed to go for dinner and was extremely happy! Service was on point and the food outstanding! Will definitely return for another lovely meal!

First time and not disappointed. We travel from Essex for Sunday lunch, usually heading just down the road in Archway. Thought we'd try a new venue and we were very pleased. Welcoming and attentive staff, good wine and delicious roast beef with all the trimmings included. Spotted dick had to be had too! We'll be back.

Lovely pub with great outside seating area and nicely made cocktails! Went for drinks before a gig and what a find, staff was very welcoming, drinks were top quality and a beautifully decorated pub. Will definitely be back for more cocktail!
