This is my second visit to the Aviary, and I wasn't disappointed. The service and food were excellent, just as I remembered them. I love the natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, so even on a cold and grey day it's lovely and bright.

It's not often that the flavours and presentation of the food really makes us sit up and notice, but the dishes at El Alquimista certainly did! We took my parents out for my mother's birthday, not really knowing much about the restaurant and were made very welcome by the lovely, attentive (but not intrusive) staff throughout and the food was thoughtfully crafted and wonderfully presented. It's a small team and they clearly paid attention to the whole experience. It's not a cheap restaurant, but for high end dishes served, it's more than worth the price. Loved the home made bread selection!

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and it did not dissapoint at all! I do not enjoy roasts at all but this has completely blown my mind! Every single item was so intentionally prepared and flavoursome, the oxtail was melting off the bone and I'm not sure how they made the jerk chicken so succulent but hats off. For starters we had the saltfish spring roll, roti and plantain - genuinely phenomenal, all the flavour and none of the pretentiousness. & dont get me started on the STP!!!! only thing it was missing was a bit more cream otherwise it is also the best I've had and I take STP ratings very seriously and lastly the customer service was brilliant, all so kind and accommodating - even gave us free champagne as a celebration drink. love love love

Very good roast dinner. But the most impressive part of the meal was the wonderful service. Short staffed but you wouldn’t have known it. The lady serving us was so no polite, helpful and despite being on her own kept smiling and making sure the the packed out tabless were well looked after. Food was coming out without delay. Big up the chef as well who was cooking in both senses coz the food was great and was was busy clearing tables and looking after customers. Will defo be back. Fully recommend

    Another great Sunday Roast! Sunday's are always busy and lively at The Hare & Billet Pub but with a real sense of 'feeling at home'. It's a relaxed atmosphere with everyone enjoying themselves.

    The Staff, waiters and chefs were extremely welcoming and attentive to myself, wife and 13yr old daughter. We were seated at the counter and the chefs were more than happy to answer any questions we had, creating a really great atmosphere. The food and wine were first rate. We will definitely be booking again.

    The staff were very attentive and friendly. Food was lovely too. It took a while for the main meals to come out but we were both in a rush and there was a large table that had ordered just before us. There was a singer, who was really good. Not too loud so you cited still have a conversation. Was quite expensive but we did have quite a lot of wine! Would recommend.
