Our meal was absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful terrine followed by excellent perfectly cooked cod and then a wonderful passionfruit soufflé. They recommended a very good bottle of wine that went very with the meal. The bill was very reasonable, but was a bargain in view of the quality of our meal.

A fantastic experience from first minute to last. The food was outstandingly good and that would have made it a great meal anyway but add the fun created by the setting and the format , the ambience, the care and personal attention from Pan and his small team and it was a once in a lifetime lunch. Except we will go back again , how could we not!!!

About the restaurant

My name is Francesco and I cook spaghetti in this cabin restaurant with 3 tables, since 2015. I work solo. I don't serve more than 15 diners a day, and I will take care of your dinner like I would for my mother.

You can watch me LIVE on Twitch under "Francescocooksspaghetti".

Mile End

About the restaurant

Our menu is compiled daily using British shores seafood. We work with independent fishmongers to select the best ingredients. We believe sustainable British seafood should be something for everyone to enjoy & were better than a proper East End Pub.
It's not all about food at the Vic. We haven't forgotten our roots, Pubs are a place for the community to meet, socialise & be happy.
We've got some cracking beers, a carefully selected wine list and some awesome cocktails for you to enjoy whilst seated in our heated beer garden that has a teepee up during the winter months.

7th time here at Corinthia, and Afternoon Tea was Superb. Our server, Matt, was outstanding! His knowledge of the menu, both food and drinks was great and he had me sold of the Sparkling Tea as an alternative as one of our party was tee-total. Thank you for a wonderful Saturday afternoon tea, this is definitely one of my top 3 in London. We will be back soon. J
