The Vincent Rooms in City of London, Westminster

Visitamos The Escoffier Rooms a principios de octubre en la semana temática de Alemania con algunos amigos que habíamos estado tratando de llevar durante un año más o menos. Como parte del Westminster Kingsway College, la comida es cocinada por los estudiantes de tercer año y servida por los estudiantes (segundo año en el momento de nuestra visita). Lo sabíamos de antemano, ya que nuestro hijo se formó aquí hace unos años, y se lo recomendamos a todo el mundo cada vez que planean un viaje a Londres, siempre que sea durante el término - tiempo. El menú degustación de seis platos era de £ 45 por persona y el maridaje de vinos era de £ 45 adicional por persona. Dos nuestra fiesta disfrutó del maridaje de vinos, a veces el vino llegó un poco tarde a la mesa, pero de nuevo, los estudiantes están en formación. Habíamos comido en el restaurante Brasserie anteriormente, y disfrutamos mucho, pero queríamos experimentar The Escoffier Room - no nos decepcionó. La comida estaba muy bien presentada y tenía un sabor divino. Sí, el servicio fue un poco caótico a veces, pero los estudiantes están aprendiendo y están ansiosos por hacerlo bien. La supervisión del personal docente fue discreta y útil. Recomendaría a fondo The Vincent Rooms, tanto el restaurante Escoffier como la cervecería. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo.

A place that leaves you as full of goodness, warmth, & hope for the future as well a full tum of exquisitely cooked delicious food

Londons best kept secret. A restaurant run by trainee chef and service staff. For some out of this world cuisine this is the place to go. Been really impressed by the quality of the food.

EXCELLENT! We visited London for a week and ate out everyday. While we had some good meals, this was my favourite. Food was top-notch and the price couldn't be beat (for London, anyways). Yes, service was a bit slow but that was expected given these were students in training. Their manager even came by our table to apologize for the wait. If we had more time, I would have dined here again.

Excelente comida y servicio. No puede faltar ninguno de los platos en el menú degustación de México, cada uno fue excepcional con sabores maravillosos.

Este es o al menos es uno de mis sitios favoritos para comer I. El mundo. ¿Por qué? Bueno, tiene un ambiente único lleno de optimismo de los jóvenes que están creando la comida y prestando el servicio. La comida siempre es fantástica también con todo hecho desde cero en las instalaciones, incluyendo la mantequilla y el delicioso pan. El servicio puede ser un poco confuso y los pedidos pueden no salir del todo cuando uno los espera también, pero eso se suma al encanto en mi libro. El comedor es luminoso y ventilado con sus largas ventanas de 1920. paredes con paneles es encantador. Muchos grandes chefs han emanado de este lugar, incluido Jamie Oliver. Un destino único y original para almorzar en el centro de Londres. ¡Vete!

We had a fantastic experience at The Escoffier Room at The Vincent Rooms! The 7-course tasting dinner was an absolute bargain—each dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and skillfully cooked by the students. While the service was a bit shaky at times, it's important to remember that you're being served by aspiring chefs who are learning the ropes, not professional waiters. The dedication and passion they put into the food more than made up for it. It's a brilliant and unique dining experience, offering high-quality cuisine at a very reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit for those who appreciate great food and supporting the next generation of chefs!

Visited on the last opening day of Brasserie in this academic year. We were seated by t he window, probably because there were not many customers on the day. The window tables have a lot of sunlight when the weather is good. Our waiter was a final year student and informed us that some observers are watching their performance. Afterwards a teaching staff also came to explain the similar situation to us. Our waiter was polite and courteous. We ordered soup, code fish as appetizer, lamb rump and sea bass as mains. The food presentation was good, but taste was just acceptable overall. The soup, the sea bass and the lamb were on the salty side. Price wise it is more with the market level and did not offer significant concessionary price. However, we did make some donation to help the student activities on our way out.

My most recent visit was a homage to La Gavroche, Michel Roux's restaurant that has sadly closed. I have waited a year for this experience as they were fully booked last year. The 3rd year trainee chefs created a gastronomical experience, as always, overseen Marc Whitley, Escoffier's Directeur Du Restaurant. Marc also ensured that service consistently exceeded expectations. The £40 cost of the 7 course tasting menu clearly was value for money. The pictures of the courses clearly evidence that also. They have an extensive wine list that is expertly chosen. The environment was beautiful and the food was delicious. I will definitely book in for next year as well as other events.

Brilliant meal, food was exceptional, a dish to suit everyone, will certainly return. Very good value. The staff are great.

Had the 7 course tasting menu with paired wines. Great night out, staff all very attentive. Would recommend.

Remember Westminster Kingsway College is a training establishment and so flaws need to be detected and corrected. So consider this in your expectations on booking. However in general the food was excellent so no problems there. We dined at the Escoffier at lunch with the £40 tasting menu. This had a Thai flavour but was not spicy. There is also a separate vegetarian menu. I am not sure whether it is possible to ascertain the menu before booking but the dishes change every week. All the food is beautifully presented up to Michelin Star standards. The courses are appropriate size and you do not feel overfilled at the end. Canapés were served and then 4 or 5 courses. The Bream was the best I had tasted and the duck dish perfectly cooked. The dessert was a work of art and I understand that there are fully separate main and pastry kitchens. Thai fish soup was a little bland but that is being a bit picky. To follow was coffee with an amazing selection sweets and pastries. The nougat was to die for as well as the Turkish delight. There is a good selection of wine and we finished 2 bottles at £33 each. The serving staff and chefs are all students and there is one slightly fearsome supervisor/lecturer. The students started off being a little nervous so make sure any special requests are correctly noted. The lecturer is much in evidence. Any mistakes were largely around serving protocol. It is a fun experience for diners. We were there for 3 hours so don't make any appointments in the afternoon. At the end of the dinner the young chefs will come and speak to you about the meal. The restaurant itself is comfortable and art deco in style. The tables are closed together than at a usual 5 star establishment. The total bill for 4 was £234 and this is probably half the price of a tasting meal with wine elsewhere. There is no service charge but it is possible to make a donation on the way out.

The Vincent Rooms is part of Westminster Kingsway College. The dishes are cooked and served by students – and based on their list of alumni this is the next generation of renowned international chefs. The aim is to recreate a high end restaurant, as near as possible to Michelin standard in all respects. The food was excellent, certainly at, or very close, to Michelin 1 Star standard – with a well thought out menu 100% meeting the theme of the lunch (in our case “Scandinavian”). The service less so, to be honest !! We had lunch on the first day of a new rotation (the students move between the various modules). You would expect the young people to be nervous, but it still has to be professional. We are fortunate to have eaten in numerous Michelin restaurants, which is the career intentions of these young people. It's very hard to be critical given the environment, but there were numerous mistakes – things like trying to serve 2 plates together, leaning over a guest to serve rather than moving around the table, not knowing basic things about about wines, mistakes on the bill (then saying “not my fault” !!) and so on. The resident lecturer was excellent – professional, helping and encouraging them at all times. (Given the situation I've still given them 5 stars for the food really, plus effort.).

Visited The Brasserie Restaurant. This was our first time visiting the Brasserie Restaurant. We were welcomed by a student and front of house manager, coats taken and shown to our seats. All the students looked smart and had smiles on their faces. Demi was our waitress and she was very helpful and attentive. The second year student who served us our drinks and wine, had a great knowledge of the wine and we had a pleasant chat about the wine and his studies. The food was amazing, some of the best I have eaten, very reasonable in price. Service was great and the first students really did know their stuff, if they were unsure, their supervisor Mr V was on hand to help. Will definitely return. Well done to all for a lovely experience.

Great place to visit. All staff are so pleasant and friendly, without losing their efficiency. Always a pleasure.

Exceptional food, great value, amazing experience

I had the Vincent Rooms recommended by various people and was really looking forward to going. Bearing in mind that it is part of a training college I was not expecting a Michelin star experience! We went to the Brasserie although we had had the Escoffier Room recommended. While the food was excellent the occasion was let down by the lack of ambience and the waiting staff. The students stood in a huddle chatting and while some were certainly better than others generally I felt there was a lack of supervision. I hope to go to the Escoffier next time and will compare the two experiences.

I have tried quite a few set menus in my life and when it comes to taste this one was among the very best ones. It was very very very delicious. Two dishes were simply outstanding (tuna tartar and NZ beef). While soup was quite bland and small sweets in the end seemed not to be that fresh (probably, being kept on a plate for a few days before served), everything else was good. I totally understand the college thing and love the concept. Yet service could so easily be perceived as so much better. E.g. a few smiles every once in a while, and staff not complaining about how tired they are to each other when they are just next to us. Apart from that there were quite a few other flaws, when it comes to service, both when reserving a table, when getting seated, as well as when paying the bill (It clearly says on their website and even in the restaurant itself that you can't tip with card, when later on it turns out that it is completely fine to do so).

Super déjeuner dans un cadre très agréable et avec de la place grande table par couple Repas délicieux amuses bouche entrée poisson viande au dessert et mignardises pour 40 £ Présentation et goût au top avec une pavlova magnifique et sublime ( mais trop petite 😢 tellement elle est bonne ) On en redemande

We went to the Brasserie for lunch on a weekday. It was very quiet inside, but despite lacking in atmosphere, we had a wonderful experience here. We were aware that these were young students in training, but this did not detract from the professionalism shown by our server. The food was lovely and well worth the very reasonable price charged. We look forward to a return visit, probably to the Escoffier room, which has a more varied menu. Great value and service.

We went to the brasserie restaurant for dinner and had the first year students working that night. Clearly the service team were still learning the ropes but they had charm in abundance to overcome the mishaps. The food was outstanding and I was really impressed by what they had learned so quickly. I’ve rarely had lamb that good and well presented in London. The fondant dessert was outstanding. Finding three course meals that good in London for under £40 is nigh on impossible. Great stuff and congrats to all the students for putting on a superb experience for us both.

An incredible experience at the college fine dining restaurant Escoffier during Scottish week. We enjoyed the tasting menu (the confit of salmon was AMAZING) with well selected wines. Food was excellent and beautifully presented. We couldn't fault any of it. The waiters and Chefs; Elisa, Pharrel and Cameron came to our table to ask how our meal was. They were really engaging and as a team created a most memorable experience. We will be back!

We couldn't recommend this more highly! We booked for our wedding anniversary and Pharell our waiter, Dylan our sommelier, Cameron, Ellie and Pharell the chefs were all really outstanding and made it a fabulous night to remember. We were served 6 courses and each one was beautifully presented, all little works of absolutely delicious art. Fantastic value for money and so lovely to be able to meet the chefs at the end of our meal and to be able to give glowing feedback. Thank you so much for a really special night, we'll be back!

Simply fabulous food; beautifully presented and excellently prepared. Festive themed menu was perfect for the season…venison main, turkey beignet, cranberry and ginger flavours in the pudding…all glorious. The head instructor kept his charges on their toes and was committed to providing all with a superb experience. At the end two of the young chefs came to visit our table (one was 14… well done him!) So much fun; we’ll be back.

Great service,great food,really nice time an beautifully presented. Staff were great,setting delightful, our servers explained all the dishes and knew their ingredients. All in all a lovely lunch

Food and service was amazingly tasty, fresh and filling, and it was so refreshing to be greeted with such professionalism from the students, Ayshe our waitress was attentive and informative and made us feel at ease as well as the young somelier who was courteous.

Disappointed with last visit. Menu was different to advertised. Food quality was mediocre and service was poor. Gone down hill unfortunately.

Having walked by this place for over 10 years and not noticing it was a restaurant open to the public, I felt a little embarrassed dining there yesterday evening. It was an outstanding experience with courteous service, fashionable cocktails, a thoughtful wine list, and an outstanding menu, executed with aplomb, and flavour aplenty. If you ever find yourself in Victoria/Pimlico/Westminster, do not simply walk by, like I did. The chefs (and possibly the waiting staff & bartenders) are in-training, but you would be forgiven for overlooking that fact, such was the height of the standards.

A friend and I had lunch in the Escoffier Room today. It was as usual staffed by young students at Westminster Kingsway College, who exuded enthusiasm, under the expert watchful eye of tutor Marc Whitley. The Room itself is delightful: airy, modern and beautifully lit, with some of the most comfortable restaurant seating around. We had the 7 course Chinese tasting menu. It was a triumph (who knew that spiced butter could taste so good?) and fantastic value for money. The serving staff couldn't have been more charming or keen to please, so a thoroughly enjoyable experience delivered to an extremely high standard in all respects. One especial pleasure was meeting two of the chefs who came out to say hello after we'd finished eating. Aaron's cheesecake was a feast for the eyes as well as the tastebuds and I can only regret that I come from a generation where the norm is eating the food put in front of you, rather than immortalising it with a picture before embarking on demolition. The plate contained what appeared to be a miniature, beautifully painted pear - a fruit commonly eaten in China, so dovetailing nicely with the theme of the menu. This revealed itself to be made of two distinct, differently coloured and flavoured layers of chocolate filled with the 'baked cheesecake' filling listed on the menu - a description which had done a splendid job of confusing us! All the little accompanying details - black sesame seeds, a tuile etc - added to a really gorgeous desert. Aaron, when you're on Masterchef and cooking for the critics, it's an unbeatable signature dish if it can be prepared in the time. You obviously spent a huge amount of time researching and perfecting this pocket wonder and every scrap of your effort showed. We also met Domenico, who was responsible for the immaculate and gorgeous petit fours. I had a miniature macaron with a bitter chocolate ganache filling, a particularly yummy truffle and a tiny pyramid of fudge with the most divine consistency. Mr Whitley, you and your colleagues have done a great job! Thank you to everyone who ensured we had such a delicious lunch and were so well looked after.

I was there for USA Week when the year 3 students use American ingredients to prepare a 7 course tasting menu. The food was innovative and delicious. The setting calming and well appointed. The student staff were professional and educated us about the menu. I would recommend going there for lunch but you must book in advance.

Brilliant experience .Every member of the team endeavouring to please the client ( you !)

Wonderful food, great young staff who were all trainee chefs. Call out for our main server, Ayse, who was attentive and charming.

Discovered this gem 20 years ago and the Escoffier experience has always delighted. Thank you Rhona as always for sorting a lovely table for us.

A first time to this food and hospitality training establishment. Pleasantly surprised by quality and value. The students are learning to both cook and serve. You get a great food and drink in pleasant surroundings at a good value price served by people trying their best. What's not to like. Would happily return.

It’s a beautifully decorated space and the service was so lovely. Keep in mind it is students serving you, so they are learning and trying to be quite formal but for me I have zero complaints! Every bit of food was delicious and just the perfect sized meal. We did an event and rented out the room with 30 people, and it was the perfect space for this!

A Michelin star meal in a lovely dining room with pleasant students.

A great night at the Vincent Rooms, the Escoffier room is beautiful too. Well done to the team there! 👏

An amazing tasting menu, wonderful flavours & service.

Young talents are learning here in an actual restaurant, how to work in kitchen and service. We enjoyed to observe the dedication that was spend by one of the trainers in helping the young fellows to do their job. The meals were fantastic and the price is unparalleled for what you get. Bring some time and patience, when you stop by. We‘ll come again.

Lovely evening with delicious food and charming service

Another great experience. Friendly staff and really good food.

The Brasserie's food was very good, especially for the price, and the service was fun and easygoing. All wait staff and chefs are students and I love supporting that. The card you fill out at the end of the meal goes toward the students grade at the end of term. I would say the room is a bit more cavernous than I had expected, and the Escoffier Rooms look much comfier, but that's just nitpicking.

Une superbe expérience. Le service était impeccable et la nourriture délicieuse. C’était très sympa de voir ces élèves appliqués dans leur apprentissage.

Cream of leek soup is so good. Students are lovely. Highly recommend this place.

Lunch in the escoffier room, Welsh menu, delicious

Needs to improve in the service. Very poor but understandable

Been regularly, but the last meal was exceptional. The rolled fish and the pigeon were cooked superbly and i can still taste the chocolate pudding, thank you

Loved the food and drinks and the attention from your the staff

Belle découverte du centre ville de Londres . Très beau rapport qualité prix. Très bon service . Accueil chaleureux. École hôtellerie . Belle façon d’encourager la relève ! Petite visite disponible sur demande . Execellente cuisine comparable à de grands restaurants de Londres . Réservation requises

The too good to go magic bags are the best 10/10 soo much food thank you

We were recommended this training kitchen by a friend as a unique experience boasting exceptional food at a very reasonable price. It didn't disappoint. The six Chinese themed courses were truly excellent offering a creative approach to some traditional dishes. Our waiter Luke was fantastic; engaged and clearly passionate about his craft. Overall a strong recommendation.

We ordered one starter, two mains and one dessert to share. Croquette, turbot and lamb dishes were very good. The panacotta tasted a bit too sticky and mango sauce wasn’t really fit in well but overall we had a great lunch with good services!

Ok food and service, however something we ate gave us food poisoning. Also the server forgot one of our dishes. Not an experience I’d recommend or return to.

This place is amazing. Students training in the college cooking and serving 5 star food.

The food is very good, the staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Will definitely be going back. Great value for money.

Really enjoyed the meals cooked n served by the students.

Such a great experience, and so reasonable!! £35 for 5 courses with the whole service being run by the 2nd year students, overseen by the lecturers. The weeks are themed and I booked this German week as my husband loves the cuisine. They don't turn tables and you can only book 6-7pm on Tuesdays & Wednesdays (not sure what time lunch service is). The food was really good. The wild boar schnitzel and Kirsch and chocolate dessert were standouts. A couple of dishes could've done with a little more seasoning, but hey, the quality for this price is fantastic. The service was really endearing too. The guy on the table next to us said he tries to go once a month, "support the young guys"!! I wish I could as they seem to be really booked up and we'd love to go back to see whether there is a difference towards the end of their year. Highly recommend!! Edit: we came again 6 months later and the difference is very distinct. Great to see progression, and the food was absolutely amazing.

Restaurante escuela diferente, cenamos en la Brasserie. Debe reservarse con antelación. Carta con entrantes, carne y pescado de variedad razonable....

As part of Westminster Kingsway College's world class catering programme, the Tea rooms give the students valuable practice in providing a first rate service. You'll need to book a couple of MONTHS in advance though which gives you an idea of its popularity. If you can't wait however, install the "too good to go" app and reserve a grab bag of recently baked treats :)

This is a restaurant staffed by Students at the Kingsway College catering school, and offers reasonably priced set menus, with a different theme each week. Our theme was 'Game', and the food was delicious, with a choice of meat or vegetarian options for each course. Reasonable wine selection at fair prices. Visited on a Wednesday evening with my Wife and two friends. Staff / Students were lovely, including our Sommelier, who actually didn't look old enough to buy a bottle of wine herself, but was mos to helpful to us. All of us enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend, thanks!

On behalf of the Office of Agricultural Affairs at the U.S. Embassy in London, I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the fantastic support and service you and your team provided during USA week this year. In particular, the opportunity you presented to us to host a “Special Relationship” dinner was a resounding success! The delicious dishes and wine pairings were a perfect way to showcase the high quality of U.S. ingredients! Thank you! We truly value our long-standing relationship with you and Westminster Kingsway College. It is an honor to bring our guests to the Escoffier Restaurant, with such great customer service and cuisine. Please pass along our thanks to Norman and all the students who participated and have made the week so special. Cynthia

Extremely rude waiter commenting about photos in a very discourteous manner, and implying that he endorses infidelity. The room may be beautiful but the atmosphere is not.

This place is fantastic. Fantastic in that the food is provided by trainee chefs and fantastic they have this opportunity to show case their vast talents. The restaurant is classic white cloth with menus rotating every week depending on the food theme. It was Carribean when went and the food was simply wonderful. This is an absolute bargain as the plates are worth many times over for the price. Only downside is it is small so gets booked up quickly, but it's a minor problem!

The ambience is that if a hall rather than an intimate restaurant, as it is a teaching college. The team did their best to accommodate my glutenfree request. Each dish tasted surprisingly good...maybe they have a new chef!

This is a college for Students in the hospitality industry. We had a great lunch cooked and served by keen students. The menu included six courses for £35 a bargain for London. One of Londons hidden secrets. Highly recommended give it a go

Lovely eatery that is run by students from the Westminster Kingsway College. We went during their special Korean Cuisine Week. We had oxtail soup, korean dumplings, Samyetang, Bibimbap,sweet pancakes and sweet rice dessert. It cost is £21 per person and alcoholic mixed drinks are £7 each. Great food and amazing students 👌

A regular for us never disappoints!

Each dish was delicious, each sauce was exquisite, the presentation was beautiful. The service was excellent and to hear the content of the dish was informative and delightful. Well done and we wish all the students a happy and prosperous career. Thank you

What a great find. A training college for future chef's and restaurant staff. They did really well on my visit. I will be going back.

I was a guest for luncheon here and was certainly not disappointed. This project gives young trainee professionals an opportunity to enhance their skills. Very reasonably priced. An outstanding service.

I was really impressed by the setting and the food. All the courses were beautifully prepared and served by the students too. I'd definitely visit again.

We had a great meal there in November 2021. Not busy, and you have to enjoy It as an experience. To be served by enthusiastic students who are keen to learn, and serve interestingly prepared good fine dining. We had a good, well prepared meal and the young hosts were our entertainers!

Wedding Reception at The Escoffier Room - 10/10 5 Stars! In October 2021 we got married and held our reception at The Escoffier Room - what a fantastic decision that was! From our initial enquiry with Marc Whitley (restaurant manager and senior lecturer), through planning our menu and canapes with the wonderful Head Chef Jonny (Jonathon) Warner, choosing the wine to be served with the food, selecting the welcome drinks and even planning a photo slideshow and personalised music playlist, all the staff and students couldn’t do enough for us to ensure we had the most amazing day! My wife and I (!) enjoyed a beautiful wedding day, in no small part thanks to the magnificent efforts of Marc, Jonny, and all the students at The Escoffier Room. This restaurant is a real hidden gem in the heart of London. I first took my now wife here on a date in an attempt to impress her while we were dating - little did we know that we’d return multiple times, and eventually celebrate our wedding here! Marc was incredibly helpful and attentive in the planning stages of our big day. He is experienced and confident in organising events and so brought a much needed calmness and confidence to our often last minute decision making in the build up. Marc and Jonny organised wine and menu tastings for us, showcasing the restaurants excellent selection of wines and incredible food. The food Jonny and the students produced for our wedding meal was incredible. Words cannot do it justice, you really do have to experience the delicate flavours and impeccable presentation for yourself. During our main course the father of the bride was heard to say “This food is amazing, fine dining in England isn’t dead!”. And to be honest, there wasn’t much to be heard during the canapes as our guests were busy enjoying how delicious they were! The students served our guests with a smile on their faces and professionalism in their manner. The service was top quality and worthy of any 5 star hotel restaurant in any major city of the world. We are so grateful to Marc, Jonny, the students, and all the back room staff at The Escoffier Room for looking after us so well during our wedding celebrations - thank you! xx

Best kept secret in london I take my hat off to the students in the evening service they have a lot to learn in front of house service they carry out with perfection with slight guidance from their teacher/manager You are all the best

Had a fantastic experience. The food was very nice and the service was attentive. I would highly recommend.

Great experience, really friendly students and the food was a higher standard than I was expecting and great value for money

Always excellent, charming staff and now with internet reservation system.

Good value for money and beautiful surroundjngs.

This is an excellent restaurant that is great value for money

Amazing food! We ate in the Escoffier Room and it was great value for money.

Passed by here for a quick one after a days reading in the Horticultural Society's Bibliotech next door, a brilliant Brasserie, the service was great and welcoming so was the food. its Cuban in the Escofffier this week check it out

Fine dining experience at reasonable cost. Shhh keep it a secret!

Excellent food and good service - and all this for only £31!!!

Went for a work function it's a nice place

Very well presented food, although very small portions. Service was very very slow, seated at 12.30pm, and final course 2 hours later. It is appreciated that this is a training establishment, but prices did not seem to correspond.

Good, serious food. Service needs work as you would expect but good to see the team honing their skills. Overall a great experience.

Pleasant dining room, excellent quality of food. However, let down on recent visit by delay in service and main course not served hot enough. However, more than adequately compensated by management response to our concerns. Have been here many times over the years and highly recommended, as it is after all a brilliant training school for novices entering the restaurant trade.

Wonderful student training restaurant. Excellent meals with wide choices. Good for a leisurely meal. Friendly service.

Excellent venue for hire - great service, quality menu and service ideal for private events.

Relaxing cafe with selection of light dishes for lunch. Really enjoyed the Eton Mess dessert!

As far as I know this is the second year that the Vincent rooms has set up shop for the summer outside in front of the restaurant. Why people in Westminster don't take advantage of being able to have a good meal in the open on warm days beats me. We ordered one small bowl of meats and cheeses to start. The helping turned out to be large enough to share between four. Afterwards you can't go wrong with either the tuna steak or salmon with a great fennel salad.

Amazing , a little gem.. Lovely food , Great to see the staff aged 16-18 doing so well.. We went to the Escoffier Rooms & had the taster menu with wine.. We are going back again ...

Amazing not well known place. Where Jamie Oliver trained.

Awesome! Best value restaurant in London.

Nous avons été chez Vincent rooms sur les conseils de ma sœur (et du guide) et nous n’avons vraiment pas été déçus.

Delicious.... Cannot fault the food nor service, top notch!

Absolutely super, everything was perfect, from presentation of the tasteful food ,to exemplary service .

It's important to understand what this place is before you eat; it's the kitchen and dining room where students at Westminster Kingsway college try out their skills for real. This goes for the waiting staff, maitre'd as well as the chefs. The students aim high so you should get high calibre food at a fraction of the price. All my food was prepared exceptionally and wouldn't look out of place in a Mayfair restaurant. The dining room is calm if a little austere but it's hard to argue with the prices.

Tasty food, presented nicely ... the service was a bit slow

Fantastic historical college. But I am a bit of a dinosaur, would have liked to have seen some French Classical dishes.
