The Yards Covent Garden - (Near Westminster, london)

Slingsby Francis E. (Jon Paul Allen) Nipped in for a quick breakfast while staying at the nearby Travelodge. Had a lovely vegetarian breakfast. Friendly service, and a nice atmosphere.

D C Situated in the luxurious Corinthia Hotel in Westminster, this place did not disappoint from the moment we walked in. The decor, lighting, table setting and general ambience especially after dark spells class. Service was fantastic and their seasonal menu was good too. If you are in the mood, head over to the bar next to the restaurant for great live band and cocktails to end the evening.

Sarah H As a lover of seafood, J Sheekey did not disappoint with the quality of food and service. The interior was classy and classic with a variety of celebrity portraits adorning the walls. The food was delicious and filling, with my favourite being the massala and pilaf rice, which had a very creamy texture. Our server Chris gave exceptional service and was very attentive and professional. There was a lot of choice on the menu, hence, I would love to return to try other dishes.

Vinicius Santos A Well-Executed Pre-Theatre Experience at Cora Pearl The décor is relaxed and intimate, complemented by soft background music that creates a warm, understated atmosphere. Expectations were high, especially as Cora Pearl has been ranked by the Michelin Guide as the best pre-theatre dining spot in London. We visited as a family of four and arrived about ten minutes before our pre-theatre reservation; our table was already ready, which was a great start. My parents both chose the three-course pre-theatre menu: potatoes with cod roe to start, pork steak for the main, and the After Eight crémeux for dessert. I had the butternut squash with coconut cream as a starter—the cream was thicker than I expected, but still very rich and delicious—followed by the wild sea bass with Jerusalem artichoke velouté, salsify, and bergamot. Overall, the food was excellent: well executed, well balanced, and thoughtfully put together. We shared a bottle of Riesling and I ordered the Cheeky Peach cocktail, as the restaurant is known for its cocktails. Both were enjoyable, though not particularly memorable. The Parmesan fries, however, were outstanding and easily a highlight of the meal. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout, although service did slow down a little during busier moments. That said, it didn’t detract significantly from an otherwise very enjoyable pre-theatre experience.

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

Adrian Earp It was our first visit to Wahaca (Covent Garden), I had pre-booked as wasn’t sure how busy the restaurant got, although our booking was early 5pm, but it was a Friday evening in London! We were seated quickly and introduced to our server Paulina who was very knowledgeable and explained the menu in length. Drinks ordered and delivered quickly, Paulina then took our order; House Nachos were ordered to share, then 2 x Pibil Burrito and Slow-Cooked Beef Burrito, Buttermilk Chicken Taco, Pork Pibil Taco & Grilled Ajillo Chicken Club Quesadilla. The food was served as it was ready and it was fantastic or banging as our teenage boys say!
