The Poacher and Partridge - (Near , london)

aaron m Brilliant night out with a few niggles We went as a group on a deal and honestly, it was a really fun one-night stay. The hotel itself is lovely, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful throughout. There’s a tiny bit of wear and tear here and there, but nothing that spoiled it. We upgraded to a junior suite and I’m really glad we did, it felt much nicer than a standard room and gave the whole trip more of a “treat” feel. The bathroom wasn’t quite as nice as the bedroom (a bit more tired), and there wasn’t a fridge, but neither was a big issue for us. This was our first murder mystery experience and it was great fun. The actors were brilliant, really got everyone involved, and we actually won, which made it even better. Dinner was included and the meal was decent, followed by the disco which was a laugh. Only downside on the night was bar service being a bit slow, there was just one person serving, but it wasn’t the end of the world. We also got lucky with our table and met some really nice people. Breakfast was the weakest bit, a few items weren’t available and the scrambled eggs were a bit slop-like and bland. Still, overall we had a great time and I’d definitely stay again, especially if it’s bundled with an event and the price is right.

Kamilia Khairul Anuar Heard good things about this place and it did not disappoint. I am Malaysian and have been to many Malaysian restaurants around London, so I had high expectations. This is not a traditional Malaysian restaurant but a more modern “elevated” concept, so my interest was piqued. My husband and I ordered five dishes (two starters - the prawn toast and the salted egg yolk sardines, and two mains - beef assam pedas and sambal skate wing, with a bowl of rice, and then the cassava cake for dessert). We were plenty full by the end of the meal, though granted we are not huge eaters! Everything was delicious, well balanced - nothing too greasy or salty or sweet. If I had to compare the food concept to something it would be like a Malaysian version of Kolae. The food is a little experimental / innovative but still very true to the classics. Seeing some reviews here saying the food is too spicy, but I would say this is pretty authentic Malaysian levels of spice and as a Malaysian I am glad they didn’t hold back! My husband, who is British but can handle his spice, was also fine with the spice level. We were here on a Friday night so it was busy but service was fine and we loved the bustling but relaxed atmosphere. Overall we would definitely come back, we loved everything we ate and wish chef Abby Lee and team great success with this restaurant.

Tom Jackson So we went together on probably one of the busiest nights of the year. Big groups of people huge orders and me and my wife off to one side. Despite the demand the service was top notch. The food portion size was massive! We ordered for two and it could easily have fed 4. The food was excellent and the staff boxed up the leftovers for us. A great experience on what no doubt was a very busy night for the staff.

Maaike Willems The food was tasty and the portions generous. The service felt a bit rushed at times, but the overall quality made up for it.

Ahmad Khawaja Outstanding customer service by wonderful staff at Selekt chicken Hayes. Great food at good price. Chicken and Lamb biryani are a must try dishes. Half grilled chicken with fries was immaculate. Tasty food.
