Wild Artichokes in South Hams

Fabulous and fun evening Went with friends and made more Love the sharing table The food was superb as always Struggled to eat the main courses as very full from the many starters. Desserts were delicious too Good wine Great service Would be lovely to say hello to Jane as we’ve been a few times but appreciate she is hot and tired after cooking soooo much and just likes to slip away.

Great night. The food was amazing . Warning there is lots of it. Need to pace yourself . Great meeting new people. I hope they enjoyed it as much as we did. All in all a great night and will definitely be going again.

All visitors to Kingsbridge, Salcombe surrounding area, this place comes with a warning. The food is fabulous the staff wonderfull compacy excellent you'll will however roll away joyfully having over consumed as every morse is a delight. You have been warned ⚠️

Simply the best. 7 starters , 3 mains and 3 deserts of superlative quality. The best £49 you could ever spend. Just look at the photos.

What an awesome evening. First time here and was everything we expected. The food was exceptional. Beautifully presented. Great company on our table.

Phenomenal experience and exceptional food

Loved the venue - light industrial unit transformed. Great friendly service, very welcoming and informative. Interesting seating arrangement - benches and tables for 8 - luckily we were with an interesting group but I could imagine that sometimes the mix might not work. The food is copious - plenty to go round - and we heeded Sam's warning to leave room for mains. Very rich and delicious. Finished promptly at 10. Definitely recommend

Absolutely incredible night out. Wonderful food and amazing atmosphere. OK so we were a little anxious about sharing a table (& food) with 6 strangers but it just worked brilliantly. We had great chat with everyone. The value fir money is second to none and we couldn't recommend it highly enough.

What a lovely concept! What great culinary skills! Absolutely amazing time. Can skip their cider collection anyday... Food- Chefs Kiss

A true oasis, hidden away just off the High Street. Whilst there was 7 of us, we took a table for 8, leaving us with more than enough food for even the hungrest of people. From the very first dish, to the last scrapings of the pavlova, everything was perfect. Whilst the food was exceptional (worthy of many awards), it was the staff who made our experience so special. Seeing the kitchen flat-out, serving EVERY table at the same time, to the two waiting staff, attentive and always smiling. We will be back.

We’d read in The Times that Wild Artichokes was ‘the best meal you’ll have this side of Bristol’. And they were right! The ‘June Feast Night’ was a great experience. They’ve clearly thought how to cut out waste and to deliver fantastic food and amazing value and ambience. Everyone arrives 6 to 6.30 and you’re all served from 7.00. We had 6 starters I think … to share … one after the other …no rush!, Then a second course … something like a lasagne, but not. Delicious! And a main course and then three desserts. Great flavours. No choice of menu. You all eat the same. All so, so tasty. Staff were brilliant. You can see the kitchen. All terrific. As The Times said, don’t worry about the industrial estate, once inside, it’s brilliant. Well done all of you!

On arrival the friendly team direct you to tables with bench seats each table for 8 and you will likely be sat with strangers who will likely become friends over the evening. If you have allergies you should advise the team on booking as the food is a set series of courses made from fresh local ingredients. All superb. Make sure you are hungry and do not over indulge on the early courses as there are many more to come. A great night out.

This tucked away venue is a brilliant find you will certainly leave full with many memories to savour, will definitely be returning.

Simply delicious. Superb value and amazing quality.

This is an amazing little gem that has a growing air of celebrity attached to it - Jane Baxter, the chef patron has written cookbooks on the health benefits of food relating to the menopause that has gained a significant following, and support from Davina. waiting list but worth the wait. An informal setting where you may find yourself sitting with other guests, and presented with an amazing menu that you don't choose from - you eat it all! To be honest, it's a meal of three parts - some excellent and interesting starters that smack of quality and expert cooking and which almost fill you up. Then a large main course, excellently cooked, but which have you loosening your trousers if you taste the (in our case) two meat and two vegetable dishes, followed by 3 desserts. I am not a foodie as such and my perspective is as an interested person who has to eat. The starters were outstanding, the mains great, and the puddings delicious, but the enjoyment of multiple, small and sophisticated dishes was overwhelmed when the mains and dessert arrived. I was astonished at the outstanding value and my preference would have been for 14 smaller dishes at twice the price (rather than the 14 we had). I would have been able to walk away in comfort, appreciated the excellence, and still felt I had experienced a rare and exceptional evening.

After going through a very unpromising industrial estate, this excellent restaurant was most unexpected. The decor is intentionally spartan and basic, but even this has been carefully considered. They have a tasting menu, but can easily accommodate vegetarians or vegans. Our table chose the vegetarian set: 7 starters, a pasta course, 4 mains and three desserts. The wine list was reasonably priced with a fair range. Service was by people who really knew their menu, and the chefs were so close to the diners that one could easily ask what was in what. Each course was generous enough and we could not have eaten any more if it would have been offered. Stand out courses were cheese-filled arancini, torn lasagna with a spicy sauce and a pistachio cake. Booking is essential, particularly if they will need to prepare food to your requirements.

Unpromising location and basic premises, but service and food wonderful. Kingsbridge isn't a cheap place to eat so the Feasting Menu was fabulous value.

What an amazing evening, we all said that it was simply the nicest restaurant experience that we have ever had, and we’ve been to plenty! The food was fabulous, completely concurring with all the other reviews, such a wide range of flavours, and Jane is definitely a feeder! Also the service was faultless, we never had to ask for a top up of water on the table or flagging anyone down for another drink, the front of house team were an absolute delight!

An extraordinary dining experience. Will definitely return. Stunning food in an unusual setting. You have no choice, just everything that this wonderful chef has decided to cook ftom locally sourced ingredients! Loads of antipasti, a pasta course, main course and 3 different desserts. Have told anyone who'd listen all about it. Could not have enjoyed it more. Thank you so much

I’ve not eaten there myself However I’ve taken and collected many of their guests and they absolutely rave about the entire experience Particularly the quality as well as quantity of the food although they all say the atmosphere and service is outstanding So shout out to Wild artichokes they are making themselves a place not to be missed Well done from Susi at Merlins Taxi 🚕

Amazing food sensational. In a relaxed atmosphere with great service. Truly an amazing food experience. Thankyou

So much joy at a dining table with so many delicious tastes never stopped coming. We loved it. Thank you

2nd time at WA and it was fantastic. Went as a couple and sat with others which made for an entertaining evening. Good was excellent and bountiful. Not one thing we didn’t like. Definitely recommend to go along as a couple or group. Service was excellent. Thanks to all at WA for a great evening

Extraordinary food with an Italian twist, cooked and served by a lovely team. Do not hesitate to try this wonderful dining experience!

Superb food and a great venue for a sharing party.

Visited with friends and shared a table with five others. What a superb evening. Great atmosphere and wonderful hospitality. Would certainly recommend and would love to return.

Incredible sharing platter with 10 friends, I could not fault the food and an explosion of flavours on your taste buds. Great service and a wonderful team who made us feel very welcome. We celebrated a birthday with so many people who wanted to sing along with us. One not to be missed 😍

Wonderful evening, superb food, faultless service. Lively convivial atmosphere. What more could you ask for? We'll be back.

Visited the restaurant last week as we were visiting family in Kingsbridge who said this is a must visit. A great experience of all guests eating together from a set menu created a good atmosphere. The food and service was excellent, I would highly recommend and is great value for money.

This restaurant is a must visit. The food is incredible and every mouthful is a taste sensation. Lovely atmosphere, good wine and food you won’t forget eating!

A novel experience. A fixed menu, plates are simply put in front of you to share with the others on your table. The food was wonderful, lots of flavour, interesting dishes. Wine is not too expensive, from £27 a bottle. An enjoyable evening

Excellent food and a great night.

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful evening at Wild Artichokes last night. We started off with a local beer and an Amalfi spritz before being bombarded by dish after dish of delicious food including squid, venison, rabbit, arancini, pear tart, chocolate pudding & pavlova. It's a great way to eat (unless you're terribly unsociable). The atmosphere is relaxed but incredibly professional and the passion for food is evident in the staff. A few reviews have mentioned food waste being an issue which just isn't true. If you put together the leftovers from 8 individual diners it would amount to more than the shared tables at WA. If you want a fun night out with exceptional food & service, look no further.

What a place and different experience. Dish after dish of deliciousness just keeps on coming out. We were so stuffed. You get everything sent out from the menu on tasting platters portioned for the whole table. There is more than enough of everything for everyone. We couldn’t want for anything. Food is delicious European Italian Mediterranean cuisine using top quality local ingredients. You share a big table with other people, so be warned. You all share the platters which we easily got used to after the first couple of dishes. Definitely going back, it’s a great experience and the food ain’t half bad either …. Totally delicous 😋

Absolutely fabulous, WA was a treat and it is exactly what I enjoy, sharing gorgeous food, wines and service with friends. This was the best eating experience I have had for sometime, so much so I’m not sure I what to share it (in case I can’t get another booking). Many thanks Jane and the crew for such a great night, I loved it and highly recommend. 😊

A truly fabulous feast. Dish after dish of superbly cooked Italian food, all complemented by first class service. We'll certainly go again when we're next down in that part of Devon.

Feast evening Absolutely amazing food, great wines, great value, great staff, great company on the shared table, great night. It was all pretty great. Nuff said !!

Exceptional meal, great service. No menu choice - eat their selection of dishes and share with others on your table. Only gripe ... venue is strange windowless shed in industrial enclave in Kingsbridge. But food is SO GOOD that i was happy to overlook that.

We had a lovely evening at the restaurant. Everything was excellent, the food, the staff and the atmosphere. Would certainly recommend

Jane Baxters food is delicious with the affable Sam Millar sorting front of house a good night is virtually guaranteed a smorgasboard of a tasting menu to share with fellow guests who on the two occasions we have been have been excellant company look forward to returning next year

Everything we had was absolutely superb. You get to try a bit of everything, and definitely leave feeling full. The service is relaxed and friendly. Yes you do sit on a table with people you have only just met, but there is always something to talk about when the food keeps coming. We had a joyful evening. Exceptional value for food and service this good.

The most amazing dining experience ever. The food is on another level, service spot on.

Outstanding food served for sharing with friends. On another level with any other restaurant I've been to. Will definitely be returning very soon.

Wonderful dining experience being delighted with every dish and every taste. Great team who genuinely wanted everyone to enjoy their service.

Fantastic 9 (?) course tasting menu, make sure you pace yourself! Recommend trying the Franz Haas Pinot from Trentino.

What a gem. Food amazing. front of house team are excellent. If there were 6 stars option they would get it.

On a recent short trip to Devon with a friend, I looked for somewhere offering a totally different dining experience to that of restaurants and pubs. The feasting nights at Wild Artichokes are a total joy and deliver a very special dining experience. The refectory style of dining really works. Jane Baxter's food is exceptional. This is home style food delivered with Michelin Star level cooking. Can't wait to return.

The food here is absolutely incredible. Had a few friends come down from London for the weekend and they loved this place. Staff were friendly and helpful. And their wine advice worked out very well for us. Will definitely go back here when possible.

Super, authentic food. Super service. Super place.. well worth making a trip off the beaten path.

Sunday lunch of roast lamb was fantastic, and a great atmosphere.

Truly world-class food in a comfortable, informal setting. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere is relaxed. We've been several times over the years and have always been wowed by the experience.

Amazing food great to share it with others. Service and ambience fantastic. Need to come back to South Devon again soon.

Wow what a feast and fantastic service

Fantastic evening, thoroughly recommend

Just eaten there for the first time. Eastern Mediterranean night. Excellent food and service. Good value. What’s not like. Thoroughly recommended.

Utterly amazing. Can't wait to return.

Fabulous food and a lovely atmosphere with cheerful service. Seating is on wooden benches with sheepskins as cushions which may not be comfortable for everybody.

Wonderful flavour, great ambience. Jane, Sam and staff are the best

Wow....the best meal I have had in a restaurant for many many months. Absolutely unforgettable

We had a great evening enjoying a summer feast, tried food we would have never chosen and enjoyed it all. We will return.

Really great food and overall a very enjoyable dining experience

Really enjoyed it, great food, atmosphere and people. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food and great atmosphere One of the best meals I have had including 2 Michelin star restaurants Jane Baxter is for me one of the most underrated chefs on the UK. Superb value for money

There is little to say about these fabulous ladies & their cooking. If you are ever able to experience their food, just book it

Such amazing food, cannot recommend highly enough ✨🙌

Wild Artichokes catered our wedding. And it was perfect! We had a wonderful selection of canapés, a banquet/sharing main meal with lots of different sides and four delicious puddings. It wasn’t ‘normal’ wedding food, but fine dining served in a casual and cool way. All our guests (family and friends) said it was the best food they’d ever been served at a wedding, and my husband and I agree! They also cooked up lots of different pasties and sausage rolls for the evening. The quantity was very generous and so there was plenty for the other staff to have and left over for people to take home.In the lead up to the wedding they were so helpful, even helping us with the timings and layout of the day. Very experienced, professional, and easy to chat through ideas with. We would recommend Wild Artichokes without question! Thank for everyone you did to make our day incredible and one that our guests will not forget!

Another amazing gastronomic delight at WA. A very warm welcome by Jo. Every plate was delicious - we had the Sunday lunch both the beef and pork followed by the sticky toffee pudding and the cheese cake, might be the best Sunday lunch ever.

We love eating here. The food is always spectacular and the atmosphere is great too. During lockdown we've also had a couple of takeaways which have been equally enjoyable.

I have been using the excellent takeaway service since lockdown. They pick up from Babbacombe on a Saturday at the Model Village car park. It works brilliantly for us, we order mid week and collect Saturday afternoon. The meal we had tonight was absolutely fantastic and we have had some great food since this began. Cannot recommend highly enough. Try it! These are seriously great cooks.

Had a great takeaway tuna poke bowl with fresh tuna , fab spicy lamb rogan josh curry & Vincisgrassis to heat at home . Also sticky toffee pudding & lemon tart to keep us going while on holiday in the area

Just had a veg curry on Friday curry night. Simply fantastic. Good quantities & top drawer quality. Make a date with this hidden gem of a take-away

We had an Indonesian Curry which was first class delicate and subtle flavours, good portion size nicely presented.How it works at the moment. Friday night is curry night. On Tuesday evening the menu for Friday appears. There was a choice of meat or vegetarian. You place and pay for your order by Wednesday for collection between 6 and 7 pm.Good communication with several follow-up emails including good directions to the out of the way premises. We parked in the nearby log stay car park (50p for half hour) and made the 2 or 3 minute walk to the premises.Directions emphasise there is no parking even to pick up the take away at the restaurant, good idea to follow this advice.The food is served from a counter near the front entrance and is packed in suitable containers with hot and cold dishes separate. Even though it was in styrofoam container the starter was attractively presented.There are of course cheaper take-aways but for me quality comes first and I am looking forward to becoming a regular.

Absolutely outstanding - the food is exquisite and the team are so passionate about what they do - whether you eat in at their quirky restaurant or get a takeaway, you will simply love it - cannot sing their praises highly enough.

Excellent food and dining experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Would recommend to all who like to try different dishes.

The food and service was excellent definitely recommend it the whole atmosphere and decor was a very relaxing place to be I will be back!!

We had a great night at Wild Artichokes last week with family for a birthday celebration. It’s a small restaurant that is difficult to find but well worth the effort. Diners sit on large benches and share tables with other diners so be prepared to talk to strangers. The food is varied, well cooked and presented and very flavoursome. The atmosphere is fun. Everything on the menu was cooked to perfection and all our party enjoyed everything that was offered. It’s best to go feeling hungry as not only is the food quality excellent it’s also plentiful and well fed. Service was very good and we were made to feel very welcome. We definitely will be returning. One thing to note is the restaurant is a BYO wine and beer

...and an evening out at Wild Artichokes is one of them. We are very lucky to have WA on our doorstep. Just go - I don't need to say anymore.

Sunday lunch for 4 on tables for groups of 8 made for a great social atmosphere. Creative and interesting variety of food arrived to the table as a vast array of beautifully cooked plates for sharing, with perfect thick slices of tender beef, all followed by 3 different sweet dishes. we were fit to burst!! Great friendly atmosphere in a 'laid back' environment with very attentive hosts. Looking forward to our next visit soon!!

We finally got to try out this place after planning and booking well ahead.Its a small place and quite difficult to find and inside there is seating for ~32 people on four large tables so if you're a small party then you'll be seated next to someone who you might not know, however, this is all part of the experience!The set menu has a range of starters, main courses and deserts but you'll be expected to share and sample all as they are all delicious.They don't have an alcohol licence so bring your own wine, etc. for which there is a £5 corkage charge. Great fun and we'll come again!

Jane Baxters food is always excellent. Sharing plates which come round in what seems a never ending line, all fabulous tasting.WA is located in an industrial unit, with absolutely no airs or graces, but is loved for the quality of the food, and if you bring a good bottle, the wine.There is no menu choice except excellence - Brilliant

Wonderfully tasty food - best I've had anywhere near! Arancini with sprouts, celeriac remoulade, squash and pecan rolls; onion ravioli, creamed parsnip; probably favourite was the kale/Jerusalem artichokes, cauliflower, leeks and walnuts. And the desserts were to die: panettone pudding; apple amaretti tart and zabaglione!!!And on top of all that, it's BYO which means it won't cost the earth and you can bring your favourite tipple.

Awesome, food, atmosphere &service 😘👌

We booked the Indian feast evening having enjoyed Jane Baxter's style of cooking at the Dartmouth Food Festival, this year; we were not disappointed! We were a party of 4 and, as other reviewers have said, the tables are set for 8 - as it turned out we had the table to ourselves as a result of a 'no show'. The atmosphere was lively but not so noisy that we couldn't hear ourselves talk as we watched Jane and her helper (s) beaver away in the kitchen.The menu was written up on a large banner on the wall and as Sam presented us with each dish ( of which, I think there were 17) she explained what was what and was very happy to answer any questions. The food was beautifully cooked and all the flavours well balanced; none of the dishes were so over spiced that you couldn't feel your tongue and nothing was swimming in ghee as so often happens with Indian style food. The food was served as sharing plates and there was more than enough to satisfy even the biggest appetite and more than represented value for money.We will be back; thankyou Jane and Sam.

Only a month in South Hams and already we are getting blase about the impressive eateries here. The food at Wild Artichoke puts it at the top of that proliferating pecking order: it is creatively varied and packed with colour and flavour, a sort of hyperbolic meze. The inspiration is mostly mediterranean but relies on no one identifiable origin and there are a few oriental twists to keep you guessing. The highlights were many: the fluffy focaccia, the crab omellette, the salt cod ravioli ( surprisingly suble) and the fish bourride, a heady confection of juicy fish, a tarragon-rich sauce and mashed potato. Heavenly. For those who worry about the humungous helpings generating obscene amounts of waste there were nuggets of deep-fried lasagne - meltingly intense mouthfuls encased in crispy shells- demonstrating how imaginatively and sublimely dishes can be recycled. The sheer volume of dishes can threaten to bewilder after a while, particulaly if you commit the obvious mistake of pigging on the early stuff. Next time we have viwed to pick daintily at the first ten dishes, knowing that the best may yet be to come. That might even leave room to enjoy the three delectable puddings which we could only pick at since by then all we wanted to do was to recline, sleep and digest, like a large snake which had somehow swallowed a horse. No review would be complete without mention of the communal tables and benches you share with lucky strangers. If this horrifies you because you just want to stare at your phone or into your partner’s eyes all night, then go elsewhere. Alternatively, you can make merry and new friends, as we did. The celebrating group of five ladies who shared our table was huge fun, chatty, charming, outgoing, Invaluably Knowledgeable about the area, occasionally ourageous and remarkably generous with their champagne. Conversation gradually degenerated into banter which reached cacophany by 10 pm. As they buckled up to continue celebrating elsewhere, our reserves of stamina just about got us safely home. Paying when you book, means all you need at the end is cash for corkage and a tip for the excellent service. Tables are much sought after and the dining nights few, so book well ahead and prepare to be stuffed and sociable.

....well, we were all very excited, family meal, special occasion, not been before. Will only go back if a) we can somehow have a table to ourselves, b) we don’t eat for a week beforehand.So, the positives...loads of food, great atmosphere.The negatives. We shared our table with complete strangers, what’s that all about? They were nice people but I wasn’t out for dinner with them. No indication of this on the website. Half of us sat back to back with another table. This isn’t Hogwarts and we’re not children, and this isn’t a refectory, it’s advertised as a restaurant. Bad. As others have said the seating is appalling. Uncomfortable bench’s, and it take 3 hours to get through all the food. Again, we’re not children.The food. You’d think this would be a positive, and it’s not the taste or flavour but the volume. There were 7 starters (yes seven) and 6 main courses (yes six)....and 3 puddings. And it’s much easier to say “well don’t eat them all fatty” but the whole point is to try everything. They say ‘you eat what we cook’ and I like that idea, but as more and more food was brought out, more was left, and discarded. People simply didn’t have room. A criminal waste. The star of the mains was brought out last, and many people simply had no room left. 90% left untouched. The venue get very hot and sweaty, and the din created by 30+ dinners is amplified by the parred back industrial fixtures and fittings, all echoey and clattery.Sadly (for this review) I was very relieved to leave, and to get out into the relative quiet and calm and slight drizzle.So if none of the above bothers you, and I’m sure there are many of you thinking ‘so what’ then go, you’ll have a blast. Try to make up an 8, then you’ll have the table to yourselves, oh and finally it’s BYO, so take your own booze, they charge a corkage.NB: if this review has been interesting and or helpful please like or thumbs up

Second visit to Wild Artichokes having enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunchtime there a few months ago. Our party of 4 sat with another 4 and had a fantastic time. The food was sensational. Main course of slow cooked beef was to die for! Every single dish so tasty. Great atmosphere. Bring your own alcohol helped even more!! Will definitely be back.

This was a fun night with great food! Four long tables in an industrial unit comprise Wild Artichokes HQ. Our little group was seated with a larger family get together - we all mucked in - as if we were attending the wedding of a long lost distant relative! Stand out dishes included braised corn, duck ragu with the silkiest of pasta and cherry clafoutis. Book early and BYO!

Brilliant summer feast, fantastic location. Some really great food coming from this kitchen! Loved it, thanks!

This was so good that I'm planning to move in there permanently. Superb cooking, dish after dish of beautifully comprised ingredients and a charming host. Forgot to take our own alcohol, but this was easily remedied from the local shop. Full marks. Proper cooking.

Absolutely amazing food. The chef & staff are so friendly and accommodating. Do yourself a favor and make every effort to come here.

We have been planning to go here for about a year. Booked to go with friends down from London in May so thought we better do a quick road test.

Approach with caution through the potholes outside but enter into a food paradise. For, stripped of its outdoor location, this is a masterclass of food...and plenty of it. Sure (like increasing locations) its back to school-like canteen rows of tables and bench seats but the range of food presented and its preparation is quite remarkable even for those who lack adventure in eating. For first-timers the whisper around as coats are gathered is: : I'll certainly be back" as they steal away with a bag of food they couldn't complete, to enjoy later.

This establishment is in an unremarkable setting in the centre of a small industrial estate in the centre of the town. Once you have found it then you will not forget it! Easy to park outside this small, converted warehouse. A very warm welcome to a delightful atmosphere. Several tables with bench seating for 6 x 8 diners. No menu as such - you are presented with food of the day. Be warned - the food keeps coming. Dishes of various and numerous starters are brought to the table, at stages, and you self serve. Take it easy - don't rush. A brief pause and then dishes, bowls & platters of main courses - fish, meats, pasta, salads all with wonderful flavours. If you are still able, then prepare for three large desserts. Just stunning! Take your own wind for a small corkage charge.

Absolutely amazing. Our 1st time going and we were very impressed. We will definitely be returning.

Absolutely fantastic. So many courses all superb. Highly recommended.

Great evening. Huge quantity of very tasty and well prepared food to share around the trestle type tables. Excellent friendly efficient staff. BYO with a £5 corkage on wine. Veggie option ( booked in advance) enough to feed two or three but I was the only veggie. Open kitchen so could see chef freshly preparing the various dishes, pasta salads , Meats etc. Adequate parking, very clean everywhere including the loos. What’s not to like . Worth the 3 hour journey to get there. Big thank you.

Absolutely loved our visit to this restaurant. A wonderful sounding menu was delivered, course by course, to communal tables. No choices involved and many vegetarian dishes. The whole lot came! You take your own wine and the restaurant is not open every day. The talented Jane Baxter (ex Riverford) presides, together with her charming and incredibly efficient and quick team. All very professional and slick and totally delicious. A lot of food, so don't have lunch the day you go though. The kitchen is open plan is all is visible to see, and the decoration of the room is charming. Slightly tricky to find, but well worth it and will definitely go back soon.

Bit hard to find but worth it. Fabulous communal dining experience. Tight squeeze, noisy and fun (and I'm an introvert). The plates of food just kept coming. Our twelve year old tried and enjoyed a bunch of things she would normally baulk at. We enjoyed the food and the informality. Pompous silver service it ain't. Would want these guys to cook for any big do I was organising. Some people have complained about lack of personal space and I guess your experience will be somewhat shaped by who you sit near but if that's likely to be an issue for you perhaps eat somewhere a bit more conventional?

We go fairly regularly to this great restaurant.
