    Went to a Sunday roast here a few weeks ago a few weeks ago and loved it - best in London. This meal was for their regular menu, the sea bream for two was expensive but worth it. The other dishes were fine and solid - the leeks dish with cheese, a side salad and potato bread N]and chocolate mousse.. Felt a little pressured to give an extra tip behind the 12.5 service charge which was a little uncomfortable, but overall, enjoyed our meal.

    A refreshingly different menu using seasonal ingredients. We enjoyed everything we ordered which was more filling than we had expected. (Had to take some home in a doggy bag). Quite expensive for what we had but I am slowly getting used to having to pay more, quite a lot more, in good restaurants these days. Service was excellent and ambience was great.

    This exceeded our expectations and more. Lovely setting, even lovelier staff and incredible food. As a vegetarian, I was so happy to see how many vegetarian options were available on this menu. My boyfriend and I left with full bellies and we’re looking forward to visiting again!

    We love the Parakeet. It never disappoints. We’ve been a handful of times and have also gone to two quiz nights which were loads of fun. The staff on the floor are incredible and everyone has so much heart and passion for what they do. Overall, I would highly recommend with one caveat. For this particular visit I had some trouble with the very unpleasant woman in charge of group bookings. I reached out months in advance as we were a large party. She was very unresponsive and dismissive so I would recommend for a larger group. Not worth the stress and aggravation.

    Overall good value, good food, good ambience. Meat and Veg on roasted cooked well, beef lacked seasoning. I think 3 out of 5…needs more flavour for greatness!
