We arrived and were shown to our table where there was a half eaten chicken bone I presume from the night before. The staff member apologised and removed it, blamed the cleaners and offered us a new table. Fair enough. Our main meal arrives I am a vegetarian and it looks like it contains meat. Luckily my friend isn’t so tried it for me and was able to confirm that yes it contained meat. It was replaced for the vegetarian version and this time it was the kitchen who were to blame. I would avoid if you have food allergies as this mistake could literally cost you your life! So as you can imagine we won’t be returning.

The DJ and vibe was good but the food was quite a lot less than when friends have previously been for brunch and there was only a choice of 3 cocktails, there was definitely more on the website when I booked. Seems expensive for £65 a person.

New to The Med and such an enjoyable and awesome experience. Four in our party who were unanimous with our enjoyment of the food and the atmosphere in general. Wonderful friendly service and discussion of the food with a most knowledgeable waitress. Two delicious courses from a very varied menu that should suit all tastes including vegans. Thank you everyone at “The Med”

Overall the service was excellent; however the lady responsible for welcoming guests was not very helpful in offering to check our coats and seemed engrossed with her laptop. The gentleman server was really helpful and the very kind gesture of a birthday cake (slice) and complimentary drinks was very much appreciated. Will definitely return as the service and food is wonderful.

This is the 2nd time we've visited The Med and it was just as good as the first. The service from start to finish was excellent and so was the food. Thank you.

This was my first visit to The Med. The food was amazing and even though it was early evening, the atmosphere was great. Cool music, super friendly welcome and I look forward to checking out the Sunday roast. Can't recommend The Med highly enough. Thanks for a lovely evening.

It was my first time at this restaurant, and I was very impressed! The service was excellent, and the food was just as good — absolutely delicious. I’ve already booked a return visit in December!

Excellent lunch, food good and huge portions. Very flexible about timing as there was an accident on the M25 so our friends arrived late. Allowed us to sit and chat for 5 hours!!! No complaints at all, the opposite :)

The front of house at the desk didn't look happy to be working, but the serving staff for our table, he was brilliant; the cocktails went down a treat, had to ask for the pitta bread and dips, the food was mediocre different textures, the ends of the shish was nice but the more you got to the middle was a rubbery texture, probably needed a few more minutes on the coals. Lovely restaurant the decor is 🩷

Me and my husband visited The Med for the first time last night and was extremely happy with the food and the very friendly staff. The only slight downside was the fact that we were sat next to a table of 8 people so it was pretty noisy. That said it has not deterred us from visiting again as the food was delicious and the staff fab 👍

Superb lunch at a very reasonable price. We had a table for 4 celebrating our daughters birthday. We were looked after by Olivia, Geoffrey and the chef Stavros. After our meal my daughter was treated to a celebratory Baklava with candle and a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday. Rebooked for our anniversary later this month.
