Amazing flavours in a cosy setting, a true hidden gem. Very fair corkage policy on top of an excellent wine list make this a winner! I particularly appreciated all the little details in every dish, e.g. the candied walnuts in the side salad, which take the overall experience to another level. Highly recommended.

    We had such a special night dining at the chef’s bar. Everything from the drinks, wine, Guinness bread and butter, crab starter, flat iron steak special with a side of chips, of course, and tossed greens to the lovely chefs behind the counter were absolutely fabulous! Such a wonderful recommendation from Indegare and a must visit again when we are back in London.

    My friend and I both enjoyed great meals - fish and chips which was lovely but sadly too big a portion for us to finish off. Best thing was the friendly front of house guy- sorry forgot his name. He was very good and patiently waited for us to choose from menu. Would highly recommend
