The Ship Tavern - (Near Westminster, london)

Evelyn Wong We went there as a group of 10 and ordered three sharing mains from the chef’s larder which were all perfectly cooked. The monkfish mains (we ordered two) were a little bit on the drier side but overall well cooked. The starters were all delicious and beautifully plated - especially the quail egg tarts and scallop pie. The service was excellent. My family and I had a wonderful time.

Tony Mccarthy Just had a fantastic New Years Eve 4 course meal here. Every single course was fantastic. My partner and Father thought the same. The ceviche was delicuous, as was the carpaccio. The prawns were knockout, and the calamari was also a delight. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the seabass was also spot on. Both desserts were also magnificent. Ibrahim, Mathues and Lisa provided 10/10 service. The manager (whose name we didnt get) was also very accommodating getting us a table for drinks in the bar, given it is New Years Eve and very busy, we definitely appreciate that. 100% recommend and would definitely come back.

Xanthe This is hands down my favourite restaurant in London. I have dined here over the years alongside their sister restaurants and it’s just the best. The food is always incredible and the staff are amazing. I always feel welcomed in this establishment. They are attentive and great to see the kitchen in action as you dine. I have never had a bad experience here and honestly I don’t think I ever will. 10/10!

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.

Sarah Oren Brasky Puchita was a lovely help after a long touristy morning, when I needed a reprieve for my hungry cranky kid. We left happy, satiated, and relaxed. I had the vegetarian Med Toast— delicious! Kids menu fish n chips was just right, too. Great little quiet find!!
