An absolutely incredible experience. The food was out of this world & service was impeccable. Particular mention for the ‘snacks’ and sturgeon/caviar waffle - could have eaten them by the bucket load. The restaurant is lovely, nice and open & with a calm ambiance. Nice to be in a restaurant where the music isn’t deafening! This is a pricey place so be prepared! Absolutely worth it for a special occasion in my opinion.

What a treat, food was exceptional and so interesting. Three in our party including one omnivore foodie and we were all fascinated by the depth of flavour in each and every dish on the tasting menu. Our waitress and the sommelier were knowledgable, professional and friendly and made us feel very welcome and looked after.

Hawksmoor is easily my favourite restaurant, their steak is second to none. After our meal last night I went home and drunkenly bought a sous vide online, so Hawksmoor has been replaced! Now I just need to find a butchers who will sell me a porterhouse...

My wife and I dined at Pidgin, where the food displayed immense creativity and meticulous craftsmanship. Their ever-changing weekly menu, featuring seasonal ingredients, added an exciting twist to our dining experience. While some dish descriptions from the servers were a bit challenging to fully grasp, every bite was an absolute delight. Even the simplest items like bread and butter were elevated to a state of culinary sublimity. However, the true star of the meal was the dessert—a peanut butter cookie served with cream and peanut butter ice cream. It was a heavenly treat. I wish I could've had another portion! The restaurant's ambiance exuded warmth and coziness, making us feel right at home. The service was exceptional, thanks to the highly knowledgeable staff. I wholeheartedly recommend giving Pidgin a try for a unique and delicious dining experience.
