    I had an incredible dining experience with my friends at Stork Restaurant, Mayfair. The warm and welcoming staff made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and every request was met with a smile. The food was simply outstanding, with each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The menu offers a fantastic selection, and everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. You can tell that a lot of thought and expertise goes into the ingredients and preparation. Beyond the food, the ambiance of Stork is absolutely stunning. The decor is elegant yet inviting, making it the perfect spot for a special night out. Whether you're looking for a refined dining experience or just a great place to enjoy amazing food with friends, Stork delivers on all fronts. Can’t wait to return—highly recommended!

    New restaurant for us, in the gem location that is Peckham's Bellenden Road, and one we'll definitely be going back to. Welcoming friendly service, great chef and food - the starter chicken wings in particular were the best I've had. This place is on the rise, and worth a trip!
