    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!

    The Parakeet is a joy some of the very best food in London. Fish, crab shoe buns, the best smoky, buttery crispy potatoes ever and a chocolate mousse to die for! You won’t be disappointed!

    My 3rd time at the parakeet and as each time before it we had a lovely meal with gorgeous lighting and great service. Sea bream was excellent as were the lamb chops… I mean it was all excellent but those 2 in particular stuck out. The place is a bit of a hidden gem.

    Absolutely loved it! 8 of us went to celebrate our son's 13th birthday - 4 adults, 4 kids. Food was spectacular. Service was attentive, accommodating and friendly. Ambience just gorgeous - the venue is beautiful. Couldn't fault it. Thank you. We'll be back.

    This was my second visit to The Parakeet after a wonderful meal in the summer, and it was even better than before, this time bringing the rest of my family for my mum’s birthday. Every dish was absolutely delicious (incredible venison, XO poussin and of course that chocolate mousse), and the atmosphere and ambience in the dining room was inviting and designed with charm and style. The Parakeet have nailed the perfect level of service and all the members of staff were knowledgeable, friendly and a benchmark of what excellent hospitality is. Thank you!
