    Nice atmosphere, food good though the changing menu means it's a lottery as to whether there'll be something you're enthused about. Seating arrangements very peculiar. Value for money quite poor - very expensive wine list. Service excellent though.

    Food was great! Our waiter gave fantastic recommendations. The interior was also really beautiful. Worth noting that all seating is communal dining set up, but the way they sat us at the table still felt private enough.

    When we visit London this place is a must. Inventive menu that always encourages you try something new. Great wine list. Creative space. Keeps getting better with age.

    The service was impeccable but the menu was quite limited although so delicious, especially the ray, duck and lamb dishes! I think we ordered almost everything for our group of five! It was my second visit and would highly recommend it 😍

    Westerns Laundry has long held a special place in my heart, and our recent visit on 9 April was another perfect reminder of why. I brought my mum here to celebrate, and the entire evening—from the atmosphere to the wine to the exquisite food—was an absolute joy. The ever-evolving nightly menu always keeps things fresh, but this time around, several dishes left a real impression. We started with the olives and the panelle—my mum’s favourite of the evening, and truly outstanding—light, crisp, and full of flavour. The feta with friggitelli peppers, preserved lemon and walnut was beautifully balanced, while the courgettes with chickpeas, basil, tria and stracciatella stole my heart completely. The broth it came in? I could’ve happily swum in it. The baked crab rice with parsley and garlic was rich and moorish, and the pork collar with Tropea onions and roast potatoes was cooked to perfection—some of the softest, most tender pork I’ve had in ages. All paired with a delicious orange wine and the kind of service that makes you feel welcome without ever being intrusive. Oh—and it’s dog friendly, which just adds to the already warm and unfussy charm of the place. Westerns Laundry isn’t just a restaurant I return to again and again—it’s a place that consistently gives me something to remember long after the last bite.
