The Coal Shed London

Some items on menu were not available even the peppercorn sauce which I could make in 5 mins!
Disappointing

First visit to The Coal She'd and it won't be the last. The menu choice were valued and fairly priced.
The food was fantastic, I had scallops (topped with bacon jam crumb) followed by cod in a caper butter and pine nut sauce, delicious. I even managed a dessert. Hot chocolate cookie with ice cream. There were 6 of us, we all had 3 courses and 3 bottles of red, 1 white and 2 dessert wine, £80 each, amazing.
We will be back ❤️

We had a very nice meal with the fish special for two people served with mussels and clams in a spicy sauce. The wine was delicious and perfectly chilled. Service outstanding.

Unfortunately disappointed with this experience. Food was not good as thought. Starter was very different than described on the menu. Had a grilled prawns -supposedly and only had 2 prawns in it but was more like a seafood platter which was not expected. Had a distinctive curried taste which was very bizarre. Steak was ok but nothing spectacular as expected. After all I could have a better meal elsewhere for the price paid. I booked it after watching it on the Masterchef but deeply disappointed. Not recommend to anybody.

Good menu and the smoked tomato Bloody Maria is a must. Food very tasty but a bit cold when it arrived. Something a bit different from the major chains.

Very long waiting time. Average food, quite fatty with little balance

Great service, Great food, great atmosphere. Will be going back as soon as we can.

We went to the Coal Shed after seeing the restaurant on Masterchef. Our expectations were high. The staff were very polite and helpful, this was let down by the dining room which was very average. The food was good, however we were expecting some of the dishes featured on masterchef.

Took my girlfriend and 8 year old daughter for a Sunday roast, my daughter loves had the steak, she loves it at home and i wanted her to try it in a restaurant.
None of us were disappointed.
We will be back...

Lovely food, great service!

very poor. Didn't have many items on the menu ( including really easy things like cruditee). service overpowering bordering on rude. Toliets not clean. hardly any sauce for one person in the small serving dish. experience not good - seemed like a restaurant that was struggling -

Lovely evening great food
Rather loud to begin with ( noisy drunken women )
However much better once they left !
Not rushed at all
Rather expensive

A slightly restricted menu for Saturday lunch the a la carte not being available. Mains were good but could have more vegetable accompaniment. One of our party had a very disappointing summer pudding but this was dealt with very promptly and deducted from the bill. The staff were very attentive and friendly and the atmosphere pleasant.

Gorgeous building and lovely food (the rib-eye steak and chocolate coals for dessert were especially delicious) but we found the table service a bit disappointing and they had run out of chips at 8.40 on a Friday night and seemed to think that was normal!

Fantastic service and very happy with ambience, steak was lovely as were sides!

Amazing fillet steak...up there with the best I've ever had. Nice wine and good service.

Very nice steak (porterhouse) and very good service. Modern restaurant without any real ambience. Only irritation was quite a few fruit flies flying around!

Friendly,efficient, knowledgable staff make the place special.
Good food, well cooked and presented.
A great place for a pre theatre meal

Food was delicious, beautifully presented and the staff were professional and helpful- BUT, the noise level was dreadful, exacerbated by the loud music. Hard surfaces don’t help. Sadly, although we would recommend the restaurant for the quality of food, we would have to add the caveat that earplugs are necessary.

4th time I’ve been to coal shed and normally I love it but this time I wasn’t overly impressed. They mixed up the cook of my steak and the seat we were at had fruit flies everywhere. Will give it another chance because the other times were great; hopefully this was a one off bad experience.

No bearnaise sauce for the steak. Dry whole sea bream with no sauce. You have to pay extra for side dishes that are not very good. Appalling quality summer pudding. Not good value for money at all. Charge 12.5% service. Not impressed. Will not return

Had the steak and halibut, which both tasted delicious. Fish was fresh and marinated nicely. Steak was how it should be, without too much fanfare.

Good and friendly service too!

Four of had steak - two were good and two weren’t, they were fatty and chewy, disappointed.

Cool place, nice atmosphere, good service. Ok food

We really enjoyed a light meal before the theatre. The booking arrangements were very straightforward. The service was prompt and attentive but not obtrusive. The food was delicious.

Picked the restaurant as was going to The Bridge theatre. So glad we did as the food was amazing and was great service from the staff too.

Great choice for pre theatre supper. Really good food and well looked after by attentive staff. Highly recommended.

The waiting staff are not the friendliest bunch, service could be improved. We bough this to the attention of the Wine waiter who was quite possibly the highlight of our evening, so informative and could only apologise on behalf of his colleagues. He took it upon himself to look after us for the rest of the evening and he completely turned the experience around - Thank you. We will be returning as the food is AMAZING!

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere and lovely service.

Food very good, particularly excellent steaks and desserts. Prices were about what I'd expect for central London. Excellent service, friendly yet professional. Selection of wines by the glass was a bit limited, that's probably the only area for improvement we saw. Would happily go back.

Quite simply, the food is very good. I had a Jacob's ladder starter followed by the chicken dish with a side iceberg/bacon.blue cheese salad. All high quality and well presented. I didn't like our table (next to one of the waiting stations so we had a lot of movement next to us continually), and the wine per glass was v.expensive. Desert: I had the chocolate bar which was had to get in to as it was v.thick chocolate and v.cold, but the taste was dense and rich. There was a loud child who was rather grating until the group left, but otherwise the atmosphere was fine.

Yes, it was great and hugely convenient for the Bridge theatre. The only reason we rated service lower was that my friend ordered a white wine and got a red wine... things were very busy pre-theatre so he didn't want to mention it. Otherwise, lovely.

An outside table on a pleasant evening, front of house staff and waiters all very helpful, friendly and polite. Attentive without being intrusive.

The food was excellent but costly. Ordered fillet steak medium. It came out what I would call medium well but that's such a personal thing. It was really delicious, as were the perfect chips and the wilted spinach. The olives were lovely too.

The wine was decent but I got the absolute cheapest on offer. They could maybe do with offering more of a selection at the lower priced end of the range.

MY main issue with this restaurant is understaffing. It was a constant chore getting a waiter’s attention and we felt we were not taken care of. For the amount of money this restaurant charges, I would say they need to up their game.

Food was OK. Starters selection not so we thought out.

Lovely meal & great service - will definitely be back. Beautifully cooked sea bass & really helpful waiter - thank you.

Lovely meal in a posh yet relaxed atmosphere.

Great option for Sunday lunch

Marvellous food and service, have been to Brighton and London locations and both are consistently good.

Just another over priced run of the mill cafe portion size not good What has happened to restaurants you used to get a tomato or mushroom as complimentary not just the meat Now every is an Extra all the menus are the same
I miss tradition if this is the future of restaurants I’ll be staying at home there really is nothing to entice me
Someone in this industry needs to look back at history and create that all these places are just dark moody uninteresting places these seating is the same the menus are the same Please would someone with a little courage listen and do something had the name not been on the door I could have been in any restaurant and not known the difference boring food boring ideas how I wish I could turn the clock back

Expensive for what you get vxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
