About this restaurant

Innovative
Good for special occasions
Great for brunch

We are an all day and late night serving PARLOUR, with wonderful food from Chef/Owner Jesse Dunford Wood; Open for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and late night dinner. Dishes range from an ‘interesting’ Full English and Toast-Your-Own-Brekkie, to Cow Pie and Chicken Kyiv, and Toasted Marshmallow Wagon Wheel to finish.

Creative cocktails, (a Not-in-Hill Perhaps?) and craft beer from Hackney to Hawaii keep up the standards in the bar. Wine doesn’t get overlooked either, with most of the concise list available by both the glass and carafe.

Menus change throughout the day, and there is something to eat and drink whatever the time.

We do not encourage naughty wandering children in the evening , but saying that we do welcome everyone during the day.

The food is a big attraction to PARLOUR, with our all week brunches (from an ‘interesting’ Full English to Toast-Your-Own-Brekkie), our legendary 'Back Door' Smoked Salmon, Desperate Dan's Cow Pie, or Chicken Kyiv. <br />We also have a rolling seasonal dinner menu with wonderful Sea Bass, Pork or Spring Lamb perhaps. A Hot Strawberry Souffle for dessert maybe?<br />Sunday Lunch is a big event in England, and is rightly a big event at PARLOUR too, with roasts available all day until late, followed by a Crumble and Custard too.. Have a look at our sample menus on this page.

It was our 2nd time at Parlour and it was the perfect choice for our wedding anniversary with kids in tow. Food is scrumptious and presented in fun novel ways. Cocktails are spot on and kids menu is just as delicious as adult one.

The menu looked interesting and did not disappoint, eg chestnut hummous, asparagus bread-and-butter pudding, deep fried custard. The waiter was friendly. It was quite noisy though, so not really suitable for serious conversation.

I arrived at 12:30 pm for a brunch and upon being seated, the waiter proceeded to give me the supper menu and promptly walk away without bothering to correct his mistake. His female colleague was more helpful in that regard. In fact she was the only one that made this experience palatable. The food was cold and the scrambled eggs were too under-cooked for my taste. One good thing I can say is that the seats were comfortable.

Both my partner and I really loved this place. The service was top notch and really thoughtful - tall lad with dark hair (sorry, not sure of his name!). The fresh bread was so delicious that we took a few away with us for later! Food choice was really varied and tasty (had the cow pie and the venison - both great!). We really liked the creativity and originality in all the little details such as the menu, the beer mats and the decor. Well worth another visit!

Friend and I had a great pre-cinema meal here. We loved everything about the place, from the warm welcome and attentive personal service to the wonderful food and drinks. Made an ordinary weekday meal feel special.
