Another proficient operation from the Cubitt House group – the people who brought us elegant spots such as the Thomas Cubitt and Pantechnicon Rooms in Belgravia, and the Orange Public House in Pimlico. Marble Arch may seem a bit north for them, but this is Portman Village, where their contemporary country house look goes down as smoothly as a glass of champers.

Certainly, this ex-pub is not a destination for real ale enthusiasts (Deuchars IPA the only tap beer on our visit); the wine list is well chosen, but the prices are West End-high, with £18 the starting point for bottles of pinot grigio and merlot. There’s also a choice of ten cocktails, as well as fresh juices including watermelon, and an apple, lemon and lime combo.

Food is mostly British, with plenty of French and Mediterranean influences, though, refreshingly, this is a chorizo-free zone. You’ll find a ploughman’s, roasts (with suppliers name-checked), and a lamb and rosemary pie, but also the likes of seared scallops with cauliflower, fennel and saffron dressing, and stuffed courgette flower with goat’s cheese and tomato and basil. Breakfast sounds a treat, with own-made muffins and granola, blueberry pancakes and the expected full english (including black pudding) and eggs benedict.

Visited last week with a party of 6. Table was 15 minutes late being ready for us. Atmosphere decent; Food mediocre (staff had to be prompted as parts of order were missing and average-quality ingredients/taste), desert better than main; service stretched; I'd say around 40% over-priced. We won't be back.

I ate at the Grazing Goat on a thursday night and thought it was fabulous. The Beefeater menu comment by the reviewer is a travesty. The food is unashamedly English and perhaps even a little retro but it is spot on. Judging by how busy it all was, I think it is a huge success.

What a wonderful venue! The staff is very welcoming, the food authentic and homemade and there's always a great buzz at The Grazing Goat! No matter if it's a quick lunch or Sunday Rost, The Grazing Goat rocks and we are very glad such an amazing place opened in our neighbourhood!

This reads as if the reviewer went along absolutely determined to dislike the place and managed to achieve his goal with the minimum of effort. First, it's not right to say that the Grazing Goat was a 'neighbourhood boozer' that was bought up and pimped out. The pub on that site shut in December 2008 so it's hardly a case of an overweening company destroying a local pub. If by 'posh pub' the reviewer means a pub with good service and good food, then he's bang on, but it's difficult to avoid reading a sneer into those words. It's similarly hard to figure out what he means by 'themed Englishness' - the pictures on the walls are prints of the local area and reproductions of old maps. It's hardly groaning at the seams with stuffed game birds and random bric-a-brac. The criticism of the menu is really just wilfully inaccurate. Picking out "fish and chips; burgers; steaks; Sunday roasts; apple and blackberry crumble" and alleging "a homage to the pub food of the Beefeater era" is deliberate misrepresentation. The menu is shortish, with a focus on meat from named sources cooked simply and well. I seriously doubt that you'd find steak tartare, oysters or smoked haddock and caramelised onion tart alongside the prawn cocktail on the Beefeater starters menu. As far as main courses are concerned, going to a pub serving British food and complaining that the main courses on offer largely involve chunks of excellent grilled meat is rather like going to a French restaurant and whinging about all the garlic and butter. The Grazing Goat was busy when we went there on a Sunday night and gave us exemplary food, wine and service. Sending along someone to review the place who plainly doesn't like British food has resulted in a skewed and grumpy piece that does Time Out no favours at all. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
