About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
London’s leading game restaurant prides itself on full flavours, innovative ideas and perfectly executed dishes at every service. From classic cuts and succulent steaks to squirrel croquettes and crispy crumbed pheasant, a focus on both traditional and lesser-known (but always seasonal), British ingredients served alongside independent boutique wines makes this handsome gastro pub a game-changing drinking and dining spot for the City.

    Lovely restaurant. Good menu. Reliable food and a nice environment. Punchy prices, even for London, but overall worth it.

    Visited for Sunday lunch . The beef was very good but my partner had lamb that was too tough to chew and digest. The roast potatoes weren’t perfect either small ones were well cooked but larger ones were a bit undercooked. We did complain and as we requested they changed the lamb for beef. Whilst the service was first class I can only assume the chefs don’t try the food before serving it. Not cheap at at £96 for 2 Sunday lunches and 2 basic drinks.

    An interesting concept, but won’t be for everyone and it is very expensive
