The best restaurants serving British food in London

Had an enjoyable evening and some great dishes on the tasting menu. So what I write here may seem picky. But...we paid over £400 per head (including wine - and non-alcohol - drink pairings). I've been fortunate to eat in a number of Michelin starred places and this isn't at that level IMO. Restaurant is nicely located, very nicely presented and the staff were generally great. The sommelier seemed like they'd had a bad day and not especially inspiring. And I know I'm getting old when one stand-out thought was how many were wearing clothes that didn't fit! The food, which is what we came for, was a mixed bag. None of it was "bad", definitely need to underscore that. Clearly significant skill involved in all of it, which is one box ticked. Nothing worse than visiting a top end restaurant only to think you could prepare the food at home! And there were some stand out dishes. The mackerel/lime/sorrel was a flavour punch, and the sea bream/black radish/perilla was both full of flavour and delicate all at the same time. Definitely my favourite dish. I'd also note the Eastwood cheese/bakewell dish was nice too, but a £15 supplement was a bit cheeky in retrospect (we knew it was a supplement beforehand). Bread and chicken butter was nice (parfait technically well executed)... Others were OK - damning with faint praise at this level really. Earth was a mushroom dish that was nicely executed, Quail pt 2 nice enough and I liked the Final Sweets but reception was mixed around the table (eating all components together made the most of it IMO). A number of others were nice ideas, but missed the mark in key places. Cheese/caviar had nice flavour but the texture wasn't right. Too chewy - pitched a "doughnut", I'd take a doughnut back if it cost 50p from a supermarket and chewed as this did. The chicken sandwich was pretty bland flavour-wise and the texture was on the edge of OK. Flavour was also lacking in the beef/trout/leek dish and the rhubarb/custard (the main flavour of which was the orange cake - didn't mind that, but the menu advertised rhubarb and custard, which I love, and that was nowhere. And a couple technically missed the mark. Cod/fennel/green chili had a small piece of cod that was overcooked - marginally, but overcooked. And whilst the taste was lovely, it wasn't fennel/green chilli. And Quail pt1 was a couple of small pasta parcels, the pasta for which was too thick and the stuffing very solid. Being greedy it's not often the texture of a piece of food detracts from the flavour (if it's there) for me. But this did. Wine pairings were generally very good according to my dinner mates. I was driving so tried the non-alcohol pairings for the first time ever. I probably won't again. Some nice liquids that I wouldn't have thought to try, but some not that great (I should have asked for a list of what they were in advance...perhaps that should just have been offered ;)). There's a lot to like about this restaurant, but with its awards and price point it's operating at a serious level and missed the mark for me, so couldn't recommend it on the basis of this visit.

The bar is absolutely great.The atmosphere is very good as well. The staff is great,especially Panos and Diyana.Both were extremely professional and friendly .I will definitely come back . Thank you Panos and Diyana.

My favourite spot! Always try to call in when passing! Staff super friendly and coffee is wonderful. Don't forget to check out the brownie! DELISH

We moved away from London to Cornwall 10 years ago But we order on line to get it delivered. And it never disappoints Amazing that it tastes so good and we get enough for about 5 meals 👍 Recommend this to anyone that is missing there pie and mash

Un pequeño establecimiento brillante descubierto al final de una pequeña excursión turística a Londres. Personal excelente y amable, muy bien informado en su oficio. Una buena selección de bebidas para adaptarse a muchas paletas. Perfecto speakeasy para pasar con amigos con unas copas. Es muy fácil pasar tiempo aquí.

I've been coming here since they opened and have been getting their takeaway afternoon tea since lockdown which has always been lovely. I have always received 4 slices for each of the sandwiches however I'm really disappointed that they have now cut the sandwiches to just 2 slices of each, so basically just 1 sandwich per person instead of 2. For £34.00 to collect, it's not really worth it now unfortunately. Also asked for no currents in the scones but received ones with them so they couldnt be eaten. Still tastes lovely though.

Gran comida con un gran servicio y relación calidad-precio. El personal era muy servicial y la comida era excelente. Un lugar obligado para visitar para los amantes del puré

Hübsch eingerichtet mit einer grandiosen Auswahl an Tee. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und es ist eine kleine Wohlführoase im Trubel vom Camden Market. Aufwärmen kann man sich hier auch prima. Sehr zu empfehlen. Preis Leistung top. Kaffee gibt es übrigens auch.

Hablé con ellos acerca de nuestra entrega de licor y fue aplastado con plástico en el licor. Me puse en contacto con el servicio al cliente y pero dijo que está bien voy a dejar el precio la próxima vez. Vivo a 100 millas de la tienda solo entrega. no es un gran servicio. Dejé reseñas, pero todavía nada y el licor era desagradable nada como el corte yuk

Food was amazing. There is lot of variety of food and Renu provided good service. Restaurant look is appealing.

Hired the entire venue for a family gathering. Pam discussed how the afternoon tea would work and checked for any dietary requirements. It worked very well and the food items were well presented and delicious. Lovely moist sandwiches ( you’d be amazed how many people can’t manage that ) with plenty of filling. We had the scones second and the patisserie last. The scones were fantastic and some of the best I’ve ever had. A wide selection of jams to go with it but the classic strawberry worked just fine for me. Small individual cakes to follow, and we took the uneaten ones home to be scoffed later as we couldn’t finish them all. When the sun is out, it just streams in the window and lights the place up beautifully. A real gem to be found in Acton and highly recommended.

Muy limpio, el personal atento y eficiente. Precios un poco altos para los mayores ya que solo quieren porciones pequeñas pero se les cobra lo mismo, necesitan poder tener un menú infantil también. Personalmente he reducido la cantidad de veces que ahora visito

We went for my mums 80th birthday and even though it was cold wet and windy outside the welcome inside couldn’t have been more warm and welcoming. The staff bent over backwards to make sure that we had everything we needed, they even put up decorations that I dropped off the previous day. We had the festive afternoon tea and had a lovely pugs in blankets followed by countless sandwiches with so many fillings, followed by scones, fruit cake, mince pies and a platter of chocolates and sweets, not to mention the unlimited tea, coffee and hot chocolate!!! We were all left filling so full and was able to take a big box of left overs home with us. I really couldn’t recommend this place highly enough and will definitely return again!!! Thank you ladies for all you did to make my mums day so special!!! Xx

Very lovely. Great cocktails, great staff. A very relaxed place for a wonderful treat. Would recommend for special occasions.

Second time trying pie and mash, first time trying it with liqor. Definitely wasn’t disappointed and far better than first time. Will definitely be returning
