Ordering Strategy

The menu is handwritten and changes daily, but the real draw is the wine list—ask for recommendations as the markups are incredibly low for rare bottles. Request a table on the ground floor for the most atmospheric, 'Dickensian' experience, though be prepared for tight seating.

What to order

Safe first

Dressed Crab

A consistent staple on the daily menu that perfectly suits the rustic, unfussy culinary style.

Hungry

Pot-roasted Rabbit

A substantial haunch of pot-roasted rabbit - nothing dainty, nothing poncey, nothing at all reverential. Just lovely good grub.

Wildcard

The Wine List

Universally cited as the restaurant's crown jewel, featuring incredible producers at rock-bottom markups that undercut nearly every other spot in London. Wine list reads like a love letter.

Good to know

The restaurant is housed in an 18th-century townhouse and is notoriously cramped; it is not suitable for large groups or those needing personal space. It is considered one of the most romantic spots in London. The restaurant underwent refurbishment in Summer 2024.
