    The Parakeet is a wonderful local, the room is buzzy and cool, the food excellent and staff great. This time, I had a guest with a number of food intolerances and our waiter and the chef annotated what would work and what can be altered. This resulted in a great meal for a difficult eater so thanks! We enjoyed the wine by the glass too as there was a wide range available. A great experience.

    Food, service and venue all great. Visited on a Sunday, had roast lamb; cooked perfectly. Defo worth a visit even if not in your neighbourhood, you won't be disappointed.

    This is one of the best Sunday roasts available in London, although pricey. I was given a bowl of roasties alongside the main plate with about 5 pots in, but was charged £4.50 for 'extra' roast potatoes! I really like this place but they only allow an hour and a half per session, which is no way near long enough to comfortably enjoy a sunday roast. Each time I've been I've had to finish the meal on a bar stool to allow the next lot in. It's a shame because otherwise a great place.

    Went to a Sunday roast here a few weeks ago a few weeks ago and loved it - best in London. This meal was for their regular menu, the sea bream for two was expensive but worth it. The other dishes were fine and solid - the leeks dish with cheese, a side salad and potato bread N]and chocolate mousse.. Felt a little pressured to give an extra tip behind the 12.5 service charge which was a little uncomfortable, but overall, enjoyed our meal.
