Now walk-ins only for Brunch, with Dinner bookings from 5pm & all day Sunday

Evelyn’s is an easy-going local restaurant serving brunch classics by day and refined, small plates by night. With the kitchen centred around a charcoal Inka grill, live fire cooking adds personality to the dishes, taking inspiration from Levantine and Pan-asian favourites. A go-to for the local neighbourhood and travellers alike, the food is seasonal and humble while the intimate setting ensures that the focus is on the food and experience. Evelyn’s accepts bookings for Dinner (from 17:00) and all day Sunday (full roast menu), with Brunch operating on a walk-in basis.

Below Evelyn’s, The Daisy is a Parisian Pigalle-inspired bar with local resident DJs playing every weekend. Expect late-night escapism with a plush, loft party energy and a refined drinks menu. The Daisy welcomes walk-ins, but booking is highly recommended.

    Lovely place, wonderful ambience and great staff. My meal was absolutely minuscule, and definitely not value for money, even though it was delicious.

    I've been to Evelyns a couple of times. This time the meat on the Sunday dinner was incredibly tough. We asked for additional gravy which never arrived. We weren't asked how our meal was at the end. The meal did not deserve the £60 + price.

    We booked for Mother’s Day breakfast so it was busy and the staff who greeted us and served us were lovely and helpful. There was what seemed like a manager setting up more tables next to us and he seemed quite pushy to the other staff trying to get them to squeeze people onto tables when they were clearly too small. The toilets were also not the cleanest and a bit worn. The food was ok but two of us had the baked eggs and it wasn’t very flavourful. It was basically just tomatoes with one egg and two cubes of feta. It was expensive for what you got. Another one of us got porridge and for over £6 it was tiny and very basic. We could have eaten better at home. Overall I’d say you can get much better value for money elsewhere. The decor is lovely as were the staff we encountered but otherwise I’d go elsewhere especially if I were hungry.

    Staff isn’t the best , waitress spiller coke all over me and my bag, as I’m struggling to bend down with my pregnant belly she should have helped to clean it up but rather she disappeared. She eventually came back to ask if I need anything, I asked for extra gravy she never came back with that neither , my bag is still sticky

    Expensive for average small plated food. My lamb skewers had a lot of cartilage and was poor quality. Chicken was good but only accompanied with cabbage and pomegranate seeds, for the price it wasn't worth it. Only plus side is ambience and service.

    Brilliant, personal service. Very tasty food. Food came quickly, lots of good attention from staff. However, too many carbs in the food for a "healthy" restaurant. And quite difficult to choose food that was low-carb. One of our party is a type 3c diabetic and it took a while to find them something healthy. Our nation faces an epidemic of diabetes and we need to offer low-carb food (which is tastier anyway).

    food was sadly underwhelming (roast dinner was literally 3 potatoes, kale, one carrot, an under seasoned yorkshire pudding and a slice of meat) and service was strangely slow and inattentive considering the not exactly hectic lunch time. waitress was friendly and fun thus the one redeeming feature, even if we only saw a little bit of her. surprised after this place came highly recommended to me.

    I went for a roast dinner, the potatoes were burnt, gravy was like water no flavour very thin, chicken had no flavour very bland. The staff are slow I asked for a sauce got it at the end of my meal and the tables are too close together risk for health and safety

    Great food, tasty, imaginative dishes and full of flavour. The new menu is fantastic! Service is excellent and the staff are very attentive. Ambience is usually perfect but on the night in question there were a number of diners who were far too loud. There is absolutely no need for it. However you can't blame the restaurant. Would definitely go again but on a quieter night.
