Best Historic Restaurants in Childs Hill

Great food. Particularly helpful staff. Many thanks.

First visit, but will have to find a reason to go again. Excellent food - vibrant flavours and colours and really fresh tasting. Great, friendly service. Only points deduction is for the noise level due to hard bare walls.

We love coming to Kettners. It’s an oasis of calm in busy London. Service was not as good as usual. Had to keep asking for drinks and top ups of water. Portions small. But we come for the atmosphere and very relaxed setting. It’s a tradition we hold to always meet at Kettners, but would love a little more bang for our buck. We will be back as it’s great. Preferred the food when the previous chef was in charge. French food doesn’t need to be fussy and expensive.

We had an exceptional dining experience at Osteria Romana. Originally, we had booked a 5 PM reservation from the U.S. for Valentine’s Day, but due to jet lag, we needed to adjust our plans. The restaurant graciously accommodated us with an 8 PM seating, which we greatly appreciated. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was impeccable, and the food was outstanding—authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every detail contributed to a perfect evening. We highly recommend Osteria Romana and look forward to returning on our next visit to London!

Review: Exceptional Dining Experience at Bacchanalia From the moment we arrived at Bacchanalia, we were met with exceptional hospitality. Despite a queue at the entrance, the attentive staff promptly acknowledged our arrival and ensured we were seated within five minutes. As soon as we settled in, we were offered a choice between still or sparkling water, setting the tone for the level of attentiveness throughout the evening. Anna took the time to walk us through the menu, providing clear explanations that helped us navigate the options with ease. Nikos, who took our order, was an absolute standout. His attentiveness and thoughtful recommendations made our dining experience even more enjoyable. He ensured that each course, from starters to dessert, was delivered seamlessly, checking in regularly to make sure we were well taken care of and fully satisfied. The service at Bacchanalia truly elevated our meal, making for a memorable and enjoyable evening. The combination of warm hospitality, knowledgeable staff, and impeccable service makes it a dining experience worth returning to.
