Five Bells - (Near Barnet, london)

Merlin Wizard We really enjoyed our fist visit to this lovely little Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was both relaxed & amiable. Staff were polite, curtious & willing to please. Lunchtime menu was very good with lots of choice. We are vegetarian to which they cater for & even added a few extra ingredients to our taste. Food was plentiful to our suprise as other such restaurants have not been. The desserts are all home made and delicious! The place was very clean & look forward to visiting again.

oliwia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Open Bakery is, without exaggeration, the best bakery I have ever been to in the UK and I genuinely don’t think anything will ever come close. I lived in Brighton for a year and I was literally living right in front of it, in a flat across the street. It became part of my week and I still think about it all the time. The pastries are so unreal that I don’t even have a single photo… because the second I walked in, I couldn’t even consider taking my phone out. Everything was eaten immediately. That’s how good it was. The atmosphere inside is perfect, warm, cosy, inviting, and just the kind of place that instantly makes you happy. And the staff are genuinely some of the friendliest people ever. It’s not just a bakery, it feels like a little Brighton treasure. They have incredible bread and so many other bakes, but I have to mention my favourite pastry of all time: the chocolate and almond croissant. I am not joking when I say I still dream about it. Flaky, rich, indulgent, perfect in every possible way. I would travel back to Brighton purely to eat it again. I live in the North now, and I swear there is simply nothing up here that compares. And honestly… if Open Bakery would ever ship so far, I will be the first person placing an order 100%! Brighton people don’t realise how lucky they are.

Kai gloystein One of the best pizzas in London! As Germans, we were absolutely impressed by the quality. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff was so cool that they even let us play our own music. Also, a big plus for the beer – it tastes very similar to a proper German Pilsner. We had a great time and will definitely be back!"

Joe Johnson Fantastic service and selection from a family run business. Went for my brother’s 30th birthday and attentive service freshly made sushi. Well done & well played

Alan King Josh was just the best host! We went there following a trip to see the big man on the Bluebell railway yesterday. Josh explained that he’d only opened up for some the local workers on the trading estate but welcomed 6-adults and 4 2/3-year olds in even whipping up some fantastic soup and freshly baked mozzarella topped focaccia that he’d done especially for us. Thank you Josh. Top man!
