   Honestly I can only describe it as average. The food is good as are the drinks. The business pride them selves on being great to staff which is obviously good and this comes at a cost but honestly it was not great it was not terrible. The food is tasty, the veg is limited, the meat is good but online it shows a mountain of meet for the All In but I think this must be only for social media people as that was not the reality. The potatoes were ok but but we did not get crispy ones they were a bit chewy. The veg is cabbage and carrots which are fine and you pay extra for the cauliflower cheese. In my view what would make it better, put the meat, potatoes and Yorkshire puddings on one plate and plate the veg (to include cauliflower cheese) on individual plates. Two roast dinners, two cocktails, one cauliflower cheese and one dessert between us and the bill was just under £100 which does seem pretty pricey for an average roast dinner. The staff were nice but it just feels like this place is lacking an element of value despite them saying that is one of their aims, prices are going up everywhere but they just need to elevate the experience to include what would be considered the basics of a Sunday roast. While it tasted good, we probably won’t return.

   The whole team are genuinely friendly, warm and get on with things. Loved the speedy service and no-nonsense approach. Food is outstanding, hands down the best Sunday roast in London.

   We did not have the high quality of experience here that we did in Blacklock City. Things we liked:- Staff - very pleasant & friendly👏 Chips - excellent👏 Baked potato - excellent👏 Sides - very good👏 Beer - served in a chilled glass which was a nice touch👏 Toilets were clean and good to see sanitiser bottles on the walls by the doors, - a very good idea👏 Things I did not like and undermined the overall meal. Fillet steak - tasty but not so tender👎 Chops - tender but tasteless, likely unseasoned👎 Time between drinks order and receiving our food = 30 minutes.....this was not great as the restaurant was half empty with lots of staff around. We did not have starters so it took that long to cook a steak and some chops, generally quick food to cook👎👎 A real shame, don't know what happened in the kitchen but something seemed to slow things down.

   From start to finish it’s an excellent experience. All the staff are superb in their up beat humor. They present the menu with expertise while being mindful of allergies. The food was spectacular, as usual, particularly the bread pudding dessert.

   Took a while to get a reservation as we love be restaurant . Gave us a great table and everything was great . Until 2 really loud drunk guys were seated right next to us is the little booth area . We literally couldn’t hear ourselves speak as they were loud and obnoxious . We mentioned it to the waiter and he said well these things happen don’t they! No apologies or anything . Spoilt what was a special evening for us .
