    We got the chateaubriand which was the nicest steak I’ve ever eaten in my life. Compared to Hawksmoor Fire and FXB this beats all of them. The service was quite good (very friendly waitress) I can’t wait to return and try the Sunday roast. Highly recommend this place

    Absolutely loved this place! Food was unreal, the garlic bread and sauce was amazing and bottomless! Aswell as the chips! Chicken and steak were both cooked perfectly and had amazing flavor! Staff were very friendly and helpful and kept checking to see if everything was okay and if we wanted extra chips or garlic bread or drinks etc. highly recommend to anyone looking for good food at great value for money!

    We had a great experience at Host. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff are exceptionally welcoming. I could not fault a single thing about the experience. We had the chef's menu and each plate that came out was more amazing than the one that came before. The menu has clearly been carefully curated to showcase food in season at the moment, and the quality of the produce was evident and the value for money is second to none. We are already looking forward to our next dining experience at Host.
