    Fantastic food as always, with great, pleasant and attentive service. Just a shame there was a very loud group in the middle of the room. Won't put us off revisiting, though!

    Difficult to leave a review when after 20 minutes of being seated we decided to leave as we were still waiting for someone to take an order. Unfortunately, we never got to taste the food or have a drink because we were just left waiting. So, we left and had an amazing meal at the Standard. We were seated, had ordered and received our food and drink in less than the 20 minutes it took for us to be ignored at the Meat and Griddle.

    Dear Mark, We're very sorry for the wait you experienced, this isn't the standard we aim for and we do apologise especially as this have stopped you guys from actually experiencing our food. We will be addressing this with the team. Thank you for your feedback, we hope to welcome you back for a much better experience. Kind regards Giuseppe Ungaro Griddle Bar & Meathouse

    Beef stew portion looked small but was quite rich so maybe an idea to share this with a side dish! Steak could have been seasoned more. Belly pork bites overpriced at £10 for 4. Desserts lovely. Mocha good. Best thing was the bread basket, lovely choice of bread, butter was sooo nice!!

    We took our seriously foodie son and family to the Griddle Bar and had a fantastic experience. All generations were warmly welcomed by the Manager and waiting staff. Our starters of Chicken Liver Pate, Grilled Eel and Pork Belly Bites were incredible and just when we thought it couldn't get any better, the main courses of Ribeye Steak, Beef and Marrow Bone Pie and Beef Stew and Dumplings arrived - and were rich and delicious. We are looking forward to returning to enjoy your outside seating next!

    First time eating at this restaurant. We sat upstairs and the ambiance was very pleasant. Both ordered steaks which were cooked as requested. I felt that mine had a bit too much pepper on. It did not bother me but I would rather have had the option of putting it on myself. However, both steaks were delicious and so were the chips. Dessert was just as good. We both enjoyed our meals and will be back.

    Had a fantastic dinner at Griddle Bar. The eel starter, recommended by the manager, was a standout—delicate, flavorful, and beautifully done. The bavette steak was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Big shoutout to the manager for his impressive knowledge and spot-on suggestions. Can’t wait to come back!

    Food and portion size was fantastic. We went on Sunday and had their specials board for roast beef and roast chicken. Service was poor. Server didn’t seem to know the menu and what was and wasn’t available. Also menu had changed but didn’t have the new menus. Specials board was only available downstairs and we were sat upstairs. Glassware on the table (we weren’t using them) were dirty and when pointed out they took a lot of the glasses away to be washed.
