Loved every minute of An kitchen. We held a three generation family celebration. Two vegans, and one fussy child along with remainder no restriction eaters. The food was fantastic, and a good wine list. We were so hungry that although we ate as much as we could, we way over ordered and took home doggy bags. every taste was catered for and unusually we had no ‘fussy child’ shenanigans. The staff at AK were exceptional. This will become our new ‘go to’.

Although the dishes were average, good that they were not overly greasy. Another plus point is that the restaurant offers fresh eel dishes. Good service that the waiters and waitresses were attentive when beckoned.
