After ten years serving the lunching ladies of the King’s Road, Bluebird unveiled a new look (and new menu) in spring 2007. The restaurant and bar occupy the single, glorious upper room (not to be confused with the less formal café on the ground floor) and it is looking grander than ever. Several vast chandeliers have been hoisted high up to the light-filled ceiling; sofas and armchairs now mingle with the formal white tables; and a glittering bar dominates the far end. The user-friendly menu has also been given a boost by executive chef Mark Broadbent and there’s an emphasis on local producers. On our visit, minestrone soup was filled with fresh seasonal flavours. Crab salad was surf-fresh and came with splendid, own-made mayo. Their burger (with big glossy chips) is done to a turn and served in a brioche. The one less perfect note was the fish pie, which was slightly featureless, despite being advertised as ‘day boat fish with crustacea sauce and potato crust’. Service, as you’d expect from a revitalised venture, was bouncy. In all, a relaxing and pampering place to be (we saw a civilised hen party, several families and loitering couples on a Saturday lunchtime), with prices that won’t shock the locals.
