Amber Leaf London Restaurant - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

James Green We went to Arepa & Co and had such an amazing experience, it was our first time trying Venezuelan cuisine, and we loved it so much we went back two days in a row! We started with the Palm Salad, which was fresh and flavorful with grilled palm hearts, cherry tomatoes, shallots, capers, and lettuce. For our main dishes, we tried the Arepa Pabellón, filled with shredded beef, black beans, ripe plantains, and cheddar cheese, and the Pabellón Reina, a rice bowl with chicken, mayo and avocado mix, black beans, fried plantains, and cheese. The flavors in both dishes were incredible, especially the fried plantains, they were absolutely amazing! The restaurant also had tons of gluten-free options, which was perfect for my mum. Overall, it was a wonderful introduction to Venezuelan cuisine, and we can’t recommend it enough.

Christopher Welch I worked with Ann-Marie to book our wedding suite as well as to create a block for friends and family. Ann-Marie explained that they dont standardly offer blocks, but she did go above and beyond in every regard to assist with my friends booking several rooms around us at a discount due to the amount of inquiries they received. We also invited many friends and family to join us for Sunday Roast, Ann-Marie again went above and beyond to offer the immediate parents/family a snug and the rest of the folks staying at the hotel they allowed to post up 15 minutes early in the patio to reserve a spot as the dining room had already been booked. Communication was excellent over email, allowing for my wife and I to organize much of this well in advance as well as to pivot and make important changes up to the day. Service in the pub at in the hotel were excellent. All of my friends and family were very happy. Ann-Marie made sure to get my wife back a favorite earring that got lost on the floor. The pub itself is truly beautiful, the rooms are wonderful (highly recommend the Armstrong suite--great for getting ready, relaxing, hosting), my wife who owns an events company says their Sunday Roast is excellent (tough critic), friends and family enjoyed themselves inside as well as in the surrounding neighborhood without a hitch (and they can sometimes be known to stay up late), and we could not be happier overall. We owe our thanks to Ann-Marie and the staff at Half Moon Herne hill for treating us so well. It will always stay a special place to my wife and I.
