Latest critic review: May 07, 2009

Book themed gastro in Marylebone...

Have the owners of this gastro-pub made the classic mistake of spending all their time and effort on the decor rather than the food? While most of the critics found the whimsical interior design a delight, the same couldn't be said for the food or the menu.

"It wasn’t much fun picking from a boring menu (sausage with potatoes, cod with potatoes, lamb with potatoes) or slogging through my dense chicken pie with flavourless mash and limp, school dinner-style carrot batons" READ REVIEW

"A particularly drab specimen representing Melton Mowbray pork pie did our national culinary reputation no service." READ REVIEW
