Maria Alejandra Hernandez It is my first time visiting this lovely restaurant. My friend had said wonders about it, specially about their grilled octopus, I have to say I’m super impressed! The food was delicious, the service absolutely magnificent, and the restaurant super clean and lovely. We even had a complementary drink from the owner. Super super pleased!

George G I visited PLANB for lunch and had a great experience. It’s in a fantastic spot — literally next door to Crouch Hill station, which makes it super convenient. The restaurant itself is lovely, and it was a really nice place to sit and enjoy lunch. They have a good selection for both brunch and lunch, along with teas, coffees, tasty desserts, and alcoholic drinks. I ordered the octopus, which was absolutely delicious. I’d highly recommend giving it a try if you enjoy seafood. It’s a good space with a reasonable amount of seating, plus outdoor tables for when the weather’s nice. There are toilets inside for customers dining in as well. The service was great — friendly and helpful throughout. Would definitely recommend visiting.

Holly Velvick Just had a delicious meal at the Hand & Sceptre. Great atmosphere, lots of choice on the menu and very attentive, friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble. I can highly recommend the halloumi fries and rotisserie chicken, everyone said their meal was lovely and hot with lots of flavour. We will be back.

David Graver Happy faces right from when we got in… good genuinely convo from staff throughout the meal. Food was out very quickly… we got ribeye option with the best tasting lemonade ever (no cap). Dessert also rocked the box… definitely coming back here!

Dalila Abd Rahman A friend recommended this place. The food is amazing. Simple healthy menu yet so flavourful and satisfying! Small, quaint cafe and family friendly. They have a selection of toys to keep my toddler busy. A little pricey compared to surrounding cafes but well worth it. Would definitely come again.

Jolana Šmídová Very friendly service. Fast and very well-prepared food. If we come here again, I would definitely return.
