Whickham Restaurants

I bought this for a birthday grift for my wife as we have always wanted to try the event, having done various others, and ate at the restaurant a few times. The knowledge, and quality of the food and wine was incredible. The evening and other guests really helped and could not recommend the experience enough to others looking at trying. In the current climate, it feels like this is a really good price, for an amazing experience. It’s not something you can probably do regularly, but for a special ocassion or a one off, I really don’t think the price can be questioned. Chris, the chef, was very good at explaining each dish while he was there, but had to say that Will showed such an amazing love for this job! It’s fantastic when people have that much passion for the job, as it definitely impacts positively on the atmosphere for those there for the experience. Will definitely be back to Blackfriars again, and would not hesitate to come back for the chef’s table again

Great food, great service and a very welcoming place to dine

Excellent food, excellent service… couldn’t ask for more!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our meals: peach and lentil salad and Camembert were both superb starters. The fish stew main was excellent as was the steak-frites. We enjoyed a carafe of house white. Our waitress, Alex was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble. She was efficient and very cheerful! We were seated upstairs which was pleasant but not quite as atmospheric as the restaurant downstairs.

We booked a large table for my daughter’s birthday party with friends. The staff were incredibly attentive and the communication before and during was outstanding. Thank you to all of you, we had a great time and all loved the food. Thank you, too, for the birthday card :)
