Llewelyn Jones Went for dinner here with a big group of friends for someone’s birthday. We were so warmly welcomed with care attention and detail. This restaurant is phenomenal. The food was delicious atmosphere great and I cannot wait to return and try everything else on the menu! Highly recommend, so great to find places that are truly community spaces. Businesses like these should have reduced rent or funding to develop and maintain the unique culture they bring. It’s the authenticity of the food in the experience which is over and above most other restaurants.

Favour Godwin It was my first time visiting the restaurant, we went on a Sunday around 1.30pm. We were there for brunch and was served by Pedo, he was great and made sure our experience was enjoyable. The food selection in the menu is great, the price is affordable, the portion sizes are really good. The food is fresh and came out hot. Everyone was pleased with what they got. Overall it was a good experience, because of the time we went we made reservations as it gets very busy around lunch time, however they try their best to accept walk-ins. The only area to improve on would be their online booking system and contact. The number on the webpage at the time of me attending the restaurant didn’t work (13.04.25) I was not sent a confirmation for my booking and there was no way of me amending my booking so I had to make several bookings when my circumstances changed. If there was a smoother online booking system that would be perfect. But I’d still give them a 5* rating as that didn’t take away from the experience. The restaurant is great for casual dining. We had a great time and will definitely be back. I’d gladly recommend this place to any and everyone.

Andrea Charles I’m a regular customer at firedog Cockfosters for the reasons that the menu is varied and the food is consistently of high quality. The staff (Andrea, Nick and Seren) are always friendly, which creates a lovely ambience. Chrissy the barista is especially welcoming and makes a great coffee! X

Demetri N Hands down the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to. From the owners, to the manager, to every single member of staff. The hospitality was exceptional. You can genuinely feel the care and pride in everything they do! The food was incredible, the service seamless, and the atmosphere just perfect. Even our family who came down from up north said they’d travel back again just for this place. A proper gem. We’ll definitely be back

Natalie Knightly WOW, perfect! Had as a takeaway, really fresh, delicious, amazing menu choices! Been telling everyone to eat here! Cannot wait to eat inside! New favourite place to eat, thank you soooo much!
