I've been wanting to try the Parakeet for many months and so glad I did it! Probably one the best Sunday roasts in London - both the beef and chicken were cooked to perfection and the trimmings also. A delicious sticky toffee pudding to finish off an incredible meal! I will come back again and again and again!

This really was a dining experience. As soon as you step in you are really treated like a customer and we were served so well. The customer service was really good. The food was absolutely amazing and made with really good ingredients. I thought the experience would be overrated but it was just really good and we would be keen to return. Thank you!
