About this restaurants :
If I were to find a fault (and I mean really search for one) then it was a bit slow for coffees and the bill.
The food was incredible. I’ll never have pie and chips like this… off the charts good!
Service was amazing. The whole team are phenomenal and the culture of the workplace really shines. The team are harmonious.
I’m already missing the place and I’m still full 5 hours later!
At the beginning of the service, the waiter will present you with three cards that let you decide what kind of experience you want – we chose the “Maverick” which meant our waiters shared lots of detail around how the dish originated, the history and the preparation + effort behind the food in front of you. You can see how passionate the staff are and it’s easy to see why.
The food was flawless and flavours perfectly balanced – I couldn’t pick a favourite from what we ordered (everything was fantastic!) but if you’re dining a la carte then you can’t go wrong with the meat fruit to start your Heston experience. After hearing the waiter explain the history, thinking and effort that went behind the dish, you immediately build a greater appreciation of the food you’re eating. I wish more fine dining restaurants gave us this glimpse into the thinking of the chefs behind the scenes. In addition, I was dining with my mum who wanted her duck to be more medium than the recommended medium rare. At a normal restaurant, this usually means we are presented with a duck that is so overcooked, however the chefs cooked it perfectly medium and she’s still raving about it days later.
Lastly, a big thank you to Alberto, Emmanuel and George who made our dining experience so enjoyable, personable and fun. You made it an amazing experience, an 11/10. We will be back soon!
The food was out of this world! I went for the 7 course taster menu to try a bit of everything. Every course looked great and tasted even better. My particular favourites were the meat fruit and the flesh and rice, and if you want a real show stopping finale to your meal, get the nitrogen ice cream, such theatre and lots of ooo’s from the surrounding tables!
Can’t wait to come back.
For starters we got the meat fruit was fantastic. Not a fan of pate much but this was so creamy and tasty. Definitely a must recommend. We also got the rice and flesh which was like a risotto with beef, also very good. For the main I got a fillet which was very tender and soft. It came with some amazing chips with a mushroom ketchup which was delicious. My partner got a roasted version that was softer than my fillet. Both dishes were great. For dessert we got the tipsy cake. I was expecting it to be quite strong with alcohol but it wasn’t and it was probably one of best desserts we have ever had. We also got some homemade ice cream made right in front of us. It was good but after the tipsy cake we just wanted another one.
Overall an amazing experience and we would recommend this place.
