I really wanted to love this place. I took my wife for the "immersive experience" with wine and went in fully prepared to spend £500 plus.
I cannot fault the cuisine. The food was perfect throughout, as was the matched wine, though the sommelier had clearly been told not to pour too much. The real issue was the service, which was glacial. It took over three hours to get through 6 courses and a sweet. It took nearly half an hour to get a drink after first arriving.
I was asked three times by three different staff members if, "someone had a birthday?" to which an affirmative was given each time. I'm not sure what the point of that was, given that absolutely nothing was provided in recognition - no cocktail, no little sweet, which given the bill eventually hit more than £650 quid for 2 people, was incredibly disappointing.
I'm all for a relaxed pace, but seriously, 30 mins gap between courses is ridiculous. Given there was a 13.5% service charge added to the already high bill, and given that service was basically absent, I cannot recommend. If I wasn't about to miss the last train, I would have challenged the charge.
As it is, the best I can say is if you don't mind waiting, the food is great. I don't know if the fact everything was cooked with fire slowed everything down, but you can get equally good food for half the price elsewhere, and not have to be "immersed" so long you have to run for a train.
