    Our first visit here and the experience was brilliant. The food was absolutely gorgeous. The beef cheeks were the best beef I’ve ever had.

    We received a voucher for Blackfriars for Christmas. Booking was easy online. We arrived slightly early but our table was ready. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived and enjoyed the background music. Service was very good and we asked if we could mix and match between the menu’s and they said it was fine to do that. We ordered the fish platter to share which was really nice. I ordered the fillet steak, it was perfectly cooked to the way I like it and the chips were amazing, I ordered the beef dripping jus which was delicious. My husband ordered the corn fed chicken, again this was delicious. We had no room for desert so can’t comment on that. My husband also had the larger brewed onsite which he said was very nice. Only fault I would say is they put a service charge of 10% on your bill but it is explained it is not mandatory. Definitely will be back.

    A confirmed Open Table booking wasn’t recognised by the restaurant which caused some anxiety at first, particular as it was for a large group. However, the staff managed to pull together a table quickly and were very helpful and attentive.
