A disappointing visit….having booked some months ago as a treat for our friends birthday we arrived to find the bar empty only then to be informed they weren’t serving the small plates advertised. We had a drink & the charcuterie board which was overpriced for the portion then moved on to a somewhere else.

Got to the restaurant to be told they are now only a bar which serves a meat or cheese board only. We had booked for a tapas meal not a snack. All information online says they are still a restaurant. We left and went and found a proper restaurant for dinner. Extremely disappointing and a waste of our time.

Looked amazing on the website, but the food portions were so small (even for high dining) and very over priced. There wasn’t much of a vibe. Service was good.

This was our first time dining at Hithe and Seek and we loved it. The menu comprises a selection of small plates designed for sharing and the food was beautifully presented and tasted absolutely delicious. And the interior design of the venue is beautiful and provides stunning views of the river Thames which makes for a complete dining experience.

Beautiful bar, amazing atmosphere and fantastic food! The waiters couldn’t be more attentive, we have a couple of small plates and cocktails while watching the sunset and the river boats go by. A hidden gem.
