Sal V We booked In Anita’s Kitchen to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday and it turned out to be one of the most special dining experiences we’ve ever had. There were six of us and Anita welcomed us into her home like old friends. The setting is intimate and relaxed, which made the whole evening feel incredibly comfortable and personal. Anita prepared a beautiful 7-course vegetarian menu, cooking each dish in front of us and talking us through the ingredients, techniques and little tips that make such a difference. It felt like a cross between a private supper club and a hands-on cooking masterclass, but without any pressure, just pure enjoyment. Every course was delicious, thoughtfully put together and full of flavour, and the pacing of the evening was perfect. What really made it extra special, though, was Anita herself: warm, knowledgeable, and a genuinely wonderful host who made everyone feel included and at ease. It was a wholesome, memorable experience and such a unique way to celebrate a milestone birthday. If you’re looking for something more personal than a restaurant and love great freshly cooked food, I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you Anita! Sailesh

Carolina Stassis Have been coming here for special occasions for about 7 years. Great consistency in the quality, the kind of food you find in top restaurants in London. Worth every penny. Love everything on the menu. The fresh bread is excellent. Especially great in the Summer garden. Super cosy inside in the bay window seat by the bar. We love that it is dog friendly outside, and in the bar area too. Pictures are from different visits. Always great!

Alex Anderson Really friendly, quick service, good portion sizes and really tasty lunch! As a bonus the cakes, flapjacks, cookies etc... are all only a quid each! Anywhere else you go youll pay £2.50 for a slice of cake or a cookie. Been coming here for lunch almost every day for a few weeks now and really happy with everything Ive been served. Would recommend to anyone on the estate. Better yet, they even deliver!

Ali Allen I visited for Sunday roast last week. Absolutely delicious, It was so wonderful, I went back again today. This time I chose the Sunday Indian menu. The food is absolutely faultless, superb standard of delicious Indian dishes, the staff are all wonderful, above and beyond! The restaurant is clean, fresh and inviting. And busy, but still calm and relaxing. So good to see a local establishment doing so well. Such good value at £20, and that includes as much as you eat. Can’t recommend it enough.

Malik Iqbal The food was really good and fresh. The staff were kind and helpful. I’ll come again for sure.

Kim Bourlet Went to the Jolly Boatman for a post hen do lunch for 16 of us and we couldnt fault it. Big car park and lots of space to sit, the food was great and we even had our own room so we didnt disturb other customers. The staff were friendly, attentive and flexible. Would definitely return and will be recommending to people I know in the area! Thank you to Sam and the rest of the staff.
