Andrew Edmunds

I have been dining at AE's for almost 30 years now, and have never been disappointed. Excellent food, ambience and service. Andrew Edmunds is run by unpretentious people who are interested in good, fresh, seasonal foods, and excellent, interesting wines. Well worth the detour to enjoy a perfect lunch or dinner. Old English hostelry styling, quirky atmosphere but very comfortable and satisfying. Do book a table as it is very popular.

Lovely atmosphere and great food. I went on a date on Sunday night. Everything tasted delicious - even for me as a vegetarian.

I've been here twice so far and hope to go back. Both times we were a party of four, and I didn't handle the booking, although I remember the second time there was some issue with our table and it took a while for us to be seated. The staff were friendly, and I guess the awkward size and layout of the place restricts what they can actually do to ease things along. I would definitely go back any time for the food! Since I don't like red meat or pork I'm usually forced to choose between the one Vegetarian option and one fish, which will more often than not be two completely unimaginative dishes. At Andrew Edmunds I would have gladly devoured every single item on the menu (game birds, fish, seafood, beautiful vegetables) and what I did have was delicious. Both times my three (omnivorous) co-diners and I left happy and satisfied. I do recommend the desserts as well by the way, they're well worth pigging out on.

Very nice place!we didn't have a reservation but they squeezed us in a slot.We ate smoked eel and a lovely Christmassy goose main!also the halibut with spinach and homemade tartare sauce was amazing!definitely would recommend the puddings too

Came with 2 friends on a sunday evening. Very nice restaurant looking like a "bouchon lyonnais" style, small table very close to your neighborough with simple food for great value. The staff were pleasant and helpfull. The Ostopus and chorizo was a weel balance and tasty starter, the pate de foie gras served with toasted brioche was perfectly decent, the roast duck breast with beetroot and citrus has a surprising well pleasant texture, the cheese plate present four cheeses of different charactere, the stiky toffee pudding is one of the best in London and the prune and almond tart was a perfect finish. The must is the wine list at an amazing value thanks to the owner wich is a wine lover. I will recommand you to choose your wine first as time is needed to make your mind. Very charming place that I will re visit shortly for sure.

This is a Restaurant that pretentiously insists you book no more than a week in advance, rings you on the day to confirm your reservation, then when you rock up at the allotted time, tell you your table isn't ready. No apologies, no "have a complimentary drink to allevoate your inconvenience" more "just wait utill we tell you and then you can go to your table". Some would describe this place as cosy, intimate and romantic. I would describe it as cramped, noisy and claustrophobic. When we were eventually allowed to sit down, the food was no less enthralling than their rude staff. Crab spaghetti that tasted of absolutely nothing, and steaks, though tender, had no flavour at all and one member of the party enjoyed their sea bass. Because of its location, this Restaurant doesn't care whether you come back or not, and therefore acts accordingly.

Unromantic. Tiny and tightly crammed. Everyone sits very close to their neighbours. We sat between two couples who talked so loudly and continually that my dining partner and I struggled to hear each other speak. Not good for a first date. Booking process was agreeable. Food was satisfying.

A truly fantastic experience, the food was fantastic and considering the quality and location very good value. It is a small place and the staff were occasionally a bit absent minded with menus and bills but never when it came to our food. The size adds to the experience when you get hit by the smells of other peoples food and hear them having a great time. It is quite fast paced but when it was clear my date and I were in no hurry to move on we turned down desert and no one asked us to move on aftertwo and a half hours. I would always recommend Andrew Edmunds.

Atmospheric restaurant, very knowledgeable and friendly staff and delicious food which is reasonably priced. Wine is positively cheap for the quality too. What more could you want? A tad more space for sure but otherwise, very fine.

My experience is the complete opposite of that above. I dined there with a guest on 2nd November I wanted a table for the same evening that I made the phone call. The person who took my booking was helpful - he even took time for jokey banter about the fact that a table was available because of a cancellation just prior to my call. We were late (should have anticipated this - I have never known the person who I was taking to be on time for anything!). I phoned ahead and the woman who took my call was charming and gracious. They kept the table for the extra 45 minutes that we needed. The food was excellent! The service attentive without being intrusive. The wine list...well, I wish that I had taken more time to explore it. My only slight niggle is that the table that I selected from the two on offer was near the stairs that lead to the kitchen. It was just a tad 'busy' and at one point my guest nearly got hit with a plate as a server stumbled. Given that neither I nor my guest were relaxed when we arrived, I think that the location of the table just kept us on edge a bit.... BUT - I will be going again. This is such an unusual and quirky place and it certainly stands out from the larger restaurants in the area. I eat out fairly often from necessity and am rather jaded by the 'same old offering' in ambience and cuisine that I see - even in London. This is a charming, truly local restaurant. Yes, it is very small and slightly 'weird' but I found the food and service to be excellent. I struggle to remember which place I went to last Saturday - I have no problem remembering the full experience at Andrew Edmunds!
