Andrew Edmunds

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!

From the person who took the phone booking and offered a two hour early evening slot to the service through the meal this was a thoroughly unfriendly experience that left our party feeling cheated out of what should have been a good Saturday night meal. While the food was perfectly decent and the wine good, the staff seemed concerned only with the table that was booked after ours, twenty minutes before our slot was up (and that's how it felt) we were told to order pudding even though one of us had not finished their main course. We then ordered to find strangely that every hot pudding – treacle tart, sticky toffee pudding, apple crumble was suddenly not available – we're talking here of 8:45pm. Instead we were offered dishes that would clearly have taken less time for us to eat and so ensure we were off our table at 9 sharp. We felt totally rushed and unwelcome and we would strongly recommend only going to this restaurant on a later sitting to ensure you're actually able to enjoy it. Vile attitude from the maitre d' down to the phone guy. Reminds me of all the things I hate about London.
