Ifra Khan Wildwoods never disappoints. The food is amazing, as always, but this visit was truly elevated by JP. From the moment I walked in, he was all smiles- warm, welcoming, and genuinely inviting. His lovely personality and natural hospitality made the entire experience feel effortless and memorable. JP is truly an asset to Wildwoods and the kind of server who turns a great meal into something special. Can’t wait to return. Note to management: please consider adding an option for gratuity. With service at this level, guests should have an easy way to show their appreciation.

Michael’s Reviews ★★★★★ We had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Smith & Wollensky. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. The two of us shared the jumbo shrimp cocktail (although not as jumbo as I expected) and the classic Wollensky salad, followed by a Kansas cut sirloin and a beautifully cooked USDA Prime steak—everything was outstanding and perfectly prepared. The service was attentive and polished, and the atmosphere had that timeless, classic Smith & Wollensky feel. To make the evening even more special, the staff surprised us with two glasses of champagne and a small cake to celebrate our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, a lovely dining experience and a perfect place for a special occasion in London.

Y M We had a fantastic evening at Hawksmoor Seven Dials and everything came together perfectly — great food, excellent wine, and genuinely warm service. We started with the beetroot salad, which was fresh, light, and full of flavour. The highlight of the meal was the 450g Chateaubriand, cooked exactly as requested — beautifully tender, rich, and clearly top-quality beef. The sides were just as enjoyable: the beef dripping chips were crisp and indulgent, the spinach with lemon added a lovely freshness, the garlic mushrooms were full of flavour, and the Tunworth mash was wonderfully creamy. The bone marrow gravy tied everything together perfectly. The seasonal pavlova was light, balanced, and a delicious way to finish the meal. A special thank you to Scott, the sommelier, who recommended a superb Rasteau Bressy Masson wine — a fantastic pairing with the steak. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and very professional. Our waiter Adam was also excellent throughout the evening: friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and made sure everything was just right. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience with outstanding food and service. We will definitely be returning.

Seiriol Dawes-Hughes High quality food served by charming staff in a classy setting. Great location for a pre-theatre meal. The schnitzel was great and the shared souffle was well worth the wait and made for a fun end to the meal. It was quite pricey but this is central London after all and it felt like a great. It got rather noisy towards the end of our meal as the place filled up to capacity. But would definitely return for a pre-theatre meal in the West End

Leicester Eats & Sips The Punch and Judy pub in Covent Garden is a real hidden gem with so much history behind it. The pub is named after the famous Punch and Judy shows, which have long been part of Covent Garden’s cultural heritage, and you can really feel that sense of history when you are there. It is part of the Greene King chain, but it does not feel generic at all. The drinks are reasonably priced, especially for such a central London location, and the food looks absolutely delicious. There is also a great selection of beers on offer. One of the highlights is the balcony seating where you can sit, relax and watch the entertainment and atmosphere of Covent Garden below. There is not a huge amount of space on the balcony, but that just adds to its charm. It really feels like a place you would miss unless you know where to look, as it is slightly tucked away and easy to walk past. A brilliant little addition to Covent Garden, especially in the summer, with character, history and good value for money.
