Acorn House

Eco friendly food in King's Cross...

Acorn House was one of the first places in London where the restaurant's commitment to carbon neutrality was every bit as important as where it sourced its food from. The food may not be fancy here, but it has a fiercely loyal clientele.

"Pappardelle was served with a mutton ragu rather than the advertised venison which I suspect would have tasted more Italian, but it was fine." READ REVIEW

"So I am beyond thrilled to report that the food wasn't just edible, it was mostly terrific - better than in many a restaurant that doesn't hobble itself with eco-restrictions." READ REVIEW

"All in all, then, a major victory on behalf of the eco puritans. I await the epicurean response with baited breath." READ REVIEW

"In the end, not bad cooking, some excellent stuff, and at the end of the meal the bill comes with what you take for a promotional paper match box, but turns out to be a strip of tiny saplings to take away and plant." READ REVIEW
