Latest review:

It was a very disappointing experience. The location is still lovely - we used to go a lot when was The Depot. Now after 4 years living in France we decided to try under Rick Stein Barnes’ brand. Perhaps was the wrong evening as atmosphere and service are based on the Head & Chef on duty, the staff on the floor. However, reputations are created on consistencies of a high food standards and service delivered. The service was extremely rushed, the waiter although friendly simply didn’t give us much time. Between ordering the drinks, starters e main, there was no gap in service, felt like they want to get rid off people and go home. The table was booked for 9.15pm not that late isn’t it? On food side 6.5 out of 10. My husband was very disappointed with fish food- very bland and his Indonesian prawn curry was okish. My Hake was fine, nothing outstanding and my Oysters as a starter were good, although I ate much better in France and at Hollywood Arms in Chelsea but if you are not a connoisseur in Oysters worth to try. Overall experience were 5, so won’t be returning because for what we paid and what we got really didn’t worth the effort. Pity because the setting is lovely !
