    Food was okay, Service slow but polite Unfortunately, not all of the menu/drinks choice was available so the limited choice was even more limited

    Our first time dining at The Kitchen. The welcome and service was excellent. Our server explained the menu to us displaying very good knowledge of the dishes. The food was incredible and we will certainly return. Only downside perhaps was our table was on top floor and there is no lift. Will know in future to ask for a table on ground or first floor.

    The only thing was it was quite cold for my 90 year old father. The waiter did his absolute best by bringing a heater for us but there was a draught coming from an outside service door. Food and service were great.

    Absolutely gorgeous food! Unusual but very tasty starters. Venison was to die for and cooked just right. Deserts were great! White Russian cocktails went down a treat, soooooo morish! And it was all topped off and made special with great service and attention. Thank you!

    Food overpriced. Service slow for pre-theatre. And I should have been told at time of booking that you were requiring us to have a minimum of two courses. Pre-theatre one course is sufficient.

    Top quality, food was amazing, friendly service. Didn't think they could top my pork belly starter but the venison main ended up my highlight, cooked to perfection and good portion size. My wife loved hers too (smoked salmon starter and halibut main)

    The food was excellent. My only complaint, we had was it was cold , there was only a small plug in heater to heat the down stairs section of the restaurant. We did mention it to our server but there was no solution.

    Great view across the river from table . Service friendly, helpful, and efficient . . Food portions adequate and well presented - meat eaters thoroughly enjoyed food . Beetroot vegetarian main course - insubstantial and disappointing . Overall an enjoyable experience.

    Told on arrival that we HAVE TO have a minimum of 2 courses from their set lunch menu at £22.50 a head - certainly wasn’t aware from their website that this would be ‘mandatory’ & not so keen on the tone it immediately set in terms of customer choice. Most places will accommodate single courses if that was all the customer wanted. Some people, for example more elderly customers, are not necessarily able to eat multiple courses. However, on this occasion, this wouldn’t have been a problem in itself. Then we’re told 2 out of the 5 main courses incur a further £5 supplement (so it’s actually £27.50 a head), & one of the remaining 3 non-supplement options is not even available (blade of beef replaced by chicken, a much cheaper option). So the upshot is a diminishing range of options for an increasing that we ultimately felt rather restricted & misled. The food itself was fine, though the mains portions felt a little stingy - a few more veg wouldn’t go amiss.

    Servers were great starters were fine, main courses too small and Turkey was very processed. We asked for more gravy and we’re only given a small milk jug that was for 1 person. Not good value for money

    This is a very good looking restaurant, staff are friendly and attentive, but , and I say this reluctantly, the quantity of good food let's the restaurant down. The food is good quality, very tasty and well presented but omg it leaves me hungry after £45 for 3 courses. I'm used to 6 by Nico so know quantity is not a good measure, but I feel that because these were small servings I cannot go back. Apologies Mr Kitchen but To he Mustard Seed win's again.

    Good modern food. The halibut and panna cotta were excellent. However we had to order some bread to mop up the delicious broth with the halibut as there was nothing else to absorb it.

    Food was very tasty but not enough of it. My friend and l both were still hungry after 2 courses and bought chips on the way home immediately afterwards. It wouldn’t cost much to do some nice chunky bread and butter to go with sparce starter. Expected more for £40 per head. Been before but won’t be going back sadly
