The Old Star - (Near Westminster, london)

Mags W I went here on the off chance for a late lunch on a Monday. The place was half full. We were welcomed by a waitress with a welcoming smile. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful interior modern but with a touch of tradition. It had such a lovely atmosphere. The seating areas were not too close together like some other establishments. The waitor who was serving us was very knowledgeable and intentive. He was so professional and well presented. They offered a deal on the menu for £19 which you could get 2 choices. I opted for starters and main. While my friend chose mains and afters. I had the chicken skewers for starters which was succulent and flavoursome and the minute steak for mains, which is accompanied with chips cooked 3 ways. If you order the steak there is an additional fee of £4.00. The steak was just how I like it and the chips were nice not dry as I thought they might be. My friend ordered the shepherds pie for her main and the sticky toffee pudding for afters. They both tasted great. We enjoyed our food. The drinks we ordered the bottle water. We would definitely recommend this place and I would be visiting again to try another dish.

Olivia Helene I’ve wanted to try this for a while but Butchies doesn’t have the greatest locations. I finally got to try it and it’s definitely incredible! I consider myself a bit of a fried chicken expert and let me just say out of all the many fried chicken places I’ve been to, this is actually the 2nd best… miles and miles better than any of the more popular chicken places. I just got the 4 pieces but I got given an extra one for some reason lol. The OG sauce is just a garlic and herb sort of sauce, would benefit from mixing the sauce recipe with some ketchup. I look forward to more branches opening as I’d definitely go back.

Sundal Roy So good! Very delicious authentic Thai food (I lived in Thailand for 2 years). If you’re vegan, ask for the separate vegan menu. Lots of options, super fresh delicious ingredients. We got a noodle dish, the green curry, a soup and corn fritters and it came to £52 including service, so pretty reasonably priced too. Decor is very atmospheric with beautiful Thai wood carvings. Service was friendly, helpful and attentive with a warm welcome. Will definitely be back!

Sam We were served by Tomos who was an absolutely outstanding host. My partner and I have been watching Will & Jack on the Fallow YouTube channel for a while now and as big foodies it was at the top of our places to visit. The atmosphere hits you as soon as you walk in, the staff are super friendly and welcoming and there’s a real buzz about the place. It’s classy but not pretentious, you feel welcomed and at ease straight away. We booked the Chef’s table and my God it didn’t disappoint. You’re at the front and centre of the kitchen and it’s absolutely incredible to see the pace and precision that the kitchen team work to. Tomos introduced himself and talked us through the food and drinks menus whilst offering some great suggestions. He was a genuinely nice guy who was super knowledgeable about the products and dishes, he helped us choose our order and explained how the dishes would arrive, we then sat back and enjoyed the atmosphere of the kitchen, mesmerised by the skill of the chefs in front of us. Shortly after our drinks arrived which was very quickly followed up by the first of our dishes. The stand-outs were easily the Mushroom Parfait which is an absolute flavour bomb, the Cod’s head which was a real experience, the burger which is up there with some of the best in London and also the Chelsea Tart which is just indulgently delicious. We couldn’t recommend this place enough and now have a very special memory of dining here, we will absolutely be back. Thank you Tomos for making it so memorable.

mckenzie907 Wow. I have seen some of the negative reviews on here about this place and it has become clear to me they are HATERS as described by the owner in the responses! I ordered lamb chops, chapli, and wings home via ubereats my lord As you can see i left nothing but the bones! Amazing amazing fresh and tasty you could see how fresh the tomatoes chillies were in the chapli kebab! Owner is right 100% to tell his truth! I nearly believed all these fake comments! 10/10 grill!

Kaily Nathan Pho always delivers fresh and excellent food! We very much enjoyed our Spring Rolls, the Spicy Beef Brisket Pho and the Tofu, Mushroom stir fried noodles. The service delivered by Cat was excellent, friendly and attentive.
