About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Good for groups

Champagne and oysters are a match made in heaven, a fact which the owners of Grafty Green’s Who’d A Thought It know only to well. With one of the more unusual names in restaurant history, this quaint Champagne and oyster bar is quite a thing of beauty and, in many ways, surprisingly traditional. With the look of a traditional pub from the outside and boasting beams, deep red painted walls and Chesterfield sofas within, Who’d A Thought It gives way to a very cosmopolitan terrace which wouldn’t look out of place in the suburbs of Paris. Boasting one of the most comprehensive Champagne lists outside of the capital a night could be spent supping bubbly but venture a meal and be rewarded with a fine combination of traditional British, French and a splash of the Med for good measure.

Third visit in as many months and not disappointed with the Sunday lunch and options. Well worth a try for getting together with friends for lunch in a relaxed atmosphere

This was not a very good dining experience. Food was incredibly average and well overpriced. The menu selections were pretty limited and a bit wiered. Service was very amateurish and not of proper restaurant standards which for the cost of a meal here it should have been. More in line with snacks in the bar. There are much better alternatives in the general area. Needless to say we won't be giving this place a second visit.

We booked to go again for having a meal there earlier in the year, however this time was a bit disappointed. Will go again as hopefully this was just a blip!

I have to say the worst service I have had in years . For the money we paid and for the patience we had we had no apology for late drinks nor for the extra 45 pounds added to our bill for no reason .
