    Lovely experience for a belated Christmas get-together. Staff were extremely accommodating and helpful when I asked to extend the party size fairly last minute to our booking date. Exceptional service from the beginning to the end of our experience: staff were so attentive to the point of making sure our water glasses were never empty! Food was delicious. Comments were made that the steaks could have had some form of decoration (a jus at least) to make it look slightly more interesting — but these comments were soon retracted once everyone took a bite. Member of staff spilt some water over one of our party (no issue for us whatsoever) but was so kind in proactively taking a couple of drinks off our bill! A very kind gesture. Will definitely recommend Blacklock to others and would definitely dine again!

    We had a fantastic time at Hawksmoor. We went for my son’s 10th birthday as steak is his favourite food. The service was excellent; my son has food allergies and our server was knowledgeable and kind and prepared a special annotated menu (along with the chef) so we could see what was safe for him to eat. The staff bringing the dishes were also aware of his allergies and brought them separately. They were also happy to amend my food (I didn’t want beef dripping fries so they made them with sunflower oil). They seemed flexible which was much appreciated. The food was delicious and really filled us all up. They even had a desert safe for my son to eat - that was a massive bonus. Thanks Hawksmoor for a great experience.

    Roast has a great internal set up, above the Borough market and have decorated the space well. It’s light with tall ceilings so feels open & expansive. Food was good quality, pricier than I remembered but worth it and I enjoyed the pork belly, cauliflower, creamed spinach and crumble. Servings were generous and service attentive. I’d recommend & will come again.

    It's the first time any of us in our group have dined at the Ivy Asia St Pauls and we weren't disappointed. We enjoyed a team lunch, the quality of food and menu choice is amazing. The décor is beautiful too. For a lunch service, it was good, we didn't feel rushed nor did we have to wait long at any point. Highly recommend for somewhere that isn't your run of the mill lunch option!.
