    This exceeded our expectations and more. Lovely setting, even lovelier staff and incredible food. As a vegetarian, I was so happy to see how many vegetarian options were available on this menu. My boyfriend and I left with full bellies and we’re looking forward to visiting again!

    We love the Parakeet. It never disappoints. We’ve been a handful of times and have also gone to two quiz nights which were loads of fun. The staff on the floor are incredible and everyone has so much heart and passion for what they do. Overall, I would highly recommend with one caveat. For this particular visit I had some trouble with the very unpleasant woman in charge of group bookings. I reached out months in advance as we were a large party. She was very unresponsive and dismissive so I would recommend for a larger group. Not worth the stress and aggravation.

    Overall good value, good food, good ambience. Meat and Veg on roasted cooked well, beef lacked seasoning. I think 3 out of 5…needs more flavour for greatness!

    This was my fifth or sixth time here and I was taking my son and daughter in law who live in Spain and are very into food and wine. We had a really outstanding meal on all fronts, ambience, service, wine and above all food. I think it’s my favourite place to eat out in north London

    The best roast dinner I’ve had to date, compliments to the chefs! Service as lovely too, it really makes a difference to the whole experience. I didn’t get his name but the waiter with long hair and the nose piercing deserves a shout out for being so attentive, and informative on the menu. Will most definitely be coming back.

    Food is great. No complaints in this area, also prices are quite reasonable. I really like the place and on this visit it was buzzing. However, it is not my first time here and it always seems that service is slightly lacking. They sorted things out at the end and we were all very happy. But something to bare in mind.
