Union Jacks

Nice starters but pizzas start off ok but by the third bite become dry and tasteless. Service is shockingly bad. A five minute wait between the first pizza arriving and the last. Couldn't even bring six scoops of ice cream at the same time.

The flatbread pizza we had was dry and was blackened. Although I expect this in part for a stonebacked style pizza, I do expect it to be edible. The earl grey tea ice cream wasn't particularly nice, although the Snikers version was. I wouldn't hurry back to this restaurant and fear it could become even further diluted in quality, taste and presentation as it is rolled out across the country, not disimilar to the way Jamies Italian is heading when you compare the current restaurant to the origional in Oxford.

There are better pizza places in London. It's over priced with small starter portions and a measly amount of ingredients on the "flats". My fellow diner complained there was no meat on his old spot flat.
If you like traditional English treacle tart don't try this one it's more like a flapjack - my two friends were v disappointed.
The staffing needs sorting as we has 3 different staff serve us during our meal as we watched eat one put their coat on and go home! We won't be going back.

Very strange dining experience. Started off well, cocktails delicious, pork flatbreads very disappointing, no topping to speak of, dry cold crackling -yuk.
Icecreams ok, but was it worth over £100 for four drinks, four flatbreads mostly left because of the dry consistency and reasonable icecreams. I dont think so - over to you Jamie and your promise to serve imaginative English cruisine with a difference

Well it was OK. We enjoyed the experience but will not be returning as the menu is limited. A few starters and half a dozen pizza options. We were heading to another restaurant when we saw this and thought we would give it a try. In all honesty we should have kept going because it was hard to find something that everyone liked. Fifteen is a lot better.

Loved my Woodman pizza - gorgeous, crisp-yet-chewy base and just the right amount of good quality, flavoursome toppings. As for the daft "flatbread" tag - Jamie, what were you THINKING? Talk about a massive marketing misfire. After all, have you ever heard anyone say, "I fancy going for flatbread tonight"? Probably not. That aside, the service is efficient and attentive, and while the price of the wine (British) might trigger a sharp intake of breath, it's a lot of fun - particularly if you're partial to a blast of Kim Wilde or Spandau Ballet while chomping on your pizza. Yes, I said PIZZA.

Starters were great, it's almost a shame that the main courses don't follow the same theme? I was a bit non-plussed by the 'flatbreads', you can get much nicer pizzas elsewhere for cheaper. Liked the buzzing atmosphere and deffo worth a visit, i won't be rushing back though.

Interesting & tasty starters, but the "flatbreads" were disappointing despite their appealing ingredients - i'd rather have a pizza at Zizzi's opposite. The Covent Garden branch will no doubt do alright due to its location, but will the Chiswick branch be able to attract repeat custom?

Generally a good experience, though our beetroot and curd starter was whisked away before we'd finished it and our pizza was definitely MUCH lighter on toppings than the picture above. A few shreds of (very tasty) oxtail and brisket nearly two inches of crust. That said, what a fine crust it was. Unfortunately I think something sugary caught on a pan somewhere while we were there as I left with my hair smelling like burnt caramel.

QUALITY! From the ground up. Great ingredients, great staff, well presented.
My whole experience had me leave with a smile on my face not only from the tasty food but the eclectic mix of music (80s and modern) and money left in my wallet.
This could be Jamie's best yet.

Food was yummy, not overly priced; Something different to try. Music is quite loud though.

Loud 80s music took me back to the 80s. As did the food. But this is 2011...
Nothing particularly wrong with the food, but nothing particularly interesting either. Ingredients may be all very English and ethical, but concepts are fine until the punters have had enough.
And the web-site seems to come from the 80s too - it might help to actually give an address for the restaurant. Just a thought.

I was very very pleasantly surprised.

Oh dear - Union Jacks is 'all at sea'....a very over-enthusiastic waitress (who was very polite) managed on two occasions to 'swipe' our beer glasses before we had drained them. On the plus side the starters are inventive and a delight. I wish I could say the same for the main course. "Pizza-style" British food just doesn't work - and not at those prices - I would rather go to a pizza chain. And the food left all five of us groaning with indigestion. Better luck next time. I'll spend my money elsewhere - especially as the "ambient" music was definitely for the staff and not the punter!

amazing food, crackling on a pizza didnt think it would work but it totally did. loved the sign.
