I'm eating there tomorrow night. 12 course 'menu prestige'

Will photograph what I can and report back

Yes, several times. Unlike Michael Winner, I like it a lot (and I go to lots of great restaurants in London and around the world).

The sommelier from Cumbria, with snaggleteeth, is a star.

Menu prestige is superb. The Jerusalem Articoke dish with truffle as a pre dessert was a bit on the strange side though.

Enjoy.

I went there a few years ago very good make sure you starve yourself before you go

The only trouble is you get predominantly Yorkshire staff.....

"Were that alright for yer then, eh?"

What a great experience. Excellent food and service, great wine list and lovely location just near the Abbey.

We had the menu prestige which I found difficult to finish. Overall, a great dining experience.

Not true. They are predominantly eastern european. Prices haven't changed, even though they lost their Michelin Star a couple of years back. The Sommelier is a nutter, not keen on him. He's far too familiar with people. I don't mind personable service, but this guy is just way too relaxed in his tableside manner.

I think the sommelier is great, but then he did once give us a glass each of Yquem on the house.

ETA they lost the star when the chef changed, but got it back the next year. The restaurant merits the star.
