No longer exists. The new hotel lobby in it's place was cool, and the staff was friendly, but they confirmed it's not longer there.

Usually, I turn my nose up at "hotel restaurants," as my experience leads me to summarize them as overpriced steakhouses (and the like), cartoonish cafes, or boring and lacking character. However, I must say in my two dining experiences at Karpo....I found none of the above to be true, and in fact quite the opposite. First of all, its not REALLY a hotel restaurant. Yes it has an entrance from the Megaro Hotel and provides their in-room dining, but it really seems much more of a "stand-alone." Room Service: A pleasant gentlemen delivered me a spread including: hot tea, lam shank with asparagus and pea puree, mac 'n cheese and a vegetable medley. I didn't have any expectations much, just needed a warm meal on a Friday evening after a particularly exhausting week. And...there it was. It arrived within 20 minutes, fresh, hot and satisfying. I actually remarked to myself that the lamb was some of the best I've had. Certainly not typical "room service" fare. I enjoyed it so much, I headed down for brunch the following morning before tackling all that is London. I perched myself at the bar, enjoyed a double espresso followed by an Americano (told you the week was long!) and then indulged in the eggs benedict. Its not usually my type of dish, but of the few brunch options this seemed to be the best bet for some protein to sustain me through the day. It arrived within 10 minutes, and was delicious. Also, each interaction with the staff was delightful. Including when one of their "regulars" sat beside me and was blitzed out drunk at noon. Not an issue for me, but after being quizzed on the bio of the British Prime Minister (before coffee!) and then told to take a (expletive) taxi back to the States if I wasn't going to learn the ins and outs of the British Parliament...the staff jumped into high gear, distracting the...errr...passionate gentlemen so that I could enjoy my breakfast. A nice gesture, and I was appreciative. Otherwise the service was also good...all smiles and quite warm and friendly, while staying efficient. Cost of both meals (on my hotel bill): 43 GBP. The colors are bright and I am glad I popped into Karpo...worth a try, and conveniently located near Kings Cross, and near many hotels/hostels. Worth the splurge or even just for a pop in for a coffee and croissant to start your day. Skip the chains! read more

Karpo - Modern European Near Me - London, XGL

As a guest at the Megaro Hotel nearby, I spent some time at Karpo during my stay, Karpo being a separate name and address but being also the restaurant/bar for the hotel, with a direct entrance from the inside of the hotel. I first enjoyed an English breakfast, then a risotto for lunch, then a few drinks at night, then a coffee and juice break with wifi, before leaving London. All in all, the only thing that disappointed me slightly was the risotto, which I found quite bland and didn't really enjoy totally. But all the rest was perfect: coffee, smoothie, English breakfast and drinks, in a very nice setting and with a very professionnal service. All the waiters and waitresses were nice and I enjoyed being able to work on my computer without being bothered! So, here you go, Karpo, 4 stars! read more

Karpo - Modern European Near Me - London, XGL

Small restaurant with an equally small menu. Came for dinner, although the lunch special seems to be excellent value. I ordered the scallops to start (£12). Delicious but I felt a little hard done by with only 3! I ordered the rib eye (£22) which again was great. You have to order sides separately - I ordered the salad which, at £4 for some spinach tossed in olive oil, was a bit steep but nonetheless tasty. In all, the food was great. The service wasn't poor (although our waiter was a little blunt). The decor was nice. I would recommend if you were in the area as a solid choice but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Karpo - Scallops (£12) - Modern European Near Me - London, XGL

Order: Chicken and Parma Ham. Rhubarb soda. The Chicken and ham was well cooked, chef has skills. The mushed peas was not mushed, just like I like them, a pea. The additional details married the dish up well. I wish I lived in the UK, I would be back! The price is 3 euro signs not two (this should be updated with more reviews) Staff: Very attentive and ensured our experience was top notch! Thank you. read more

Karpo - Bar - Modern European Near Me - London, XGL

A 'tad' bit overpriced for what they deliver. Maybe it's me having lived in the United States for far too long, but when I order a main course for my dinner, I expect a little more than what I got at Karpo. The quality and creativity were there, true, but at what price? I am not expecting oodles of food; I am not expecting large portions; but I am also not expecting to still be hungry after the main course is through. My main course was best described as 'cute' when I took the first look at it because of how tiny it looked on the oversized plate. The price of it was not so cute, however. You'd think that for the exorbitant prices they charge, and the mediocre amounts of food they serve, they would compensate with an outstanding service. You'd be wrong. Service is, at best, a-okey. Needless to say, this was not a satisfactory experience -- on any level. The only saving grace was the company of friends I was with. But then, again, Karpo is not responsible for that, so I cannot put this as their credit. read more

Karpo - 'Cute' dinner portions at Karpo - Modern European Near Me - London, XGL

London - Trendy but very small restaurant in the Megaro Hotel. Food and staff are 5 stars. From starters, main to desserts, everything was excellent and at a price so affordable. We dined here on three separate occasions enjoying steaks, lamb and chicken dishes. They also make a mean sweet potato fries that was the best I ever ate. Be sure to ask what their specials are. All are well priced and delicious from steaks, lamb, or chicken. A basic menu but very good. Overall value, price, service and portions 5 stars. read more

I hate it when people use the term 'literally' all wrong. "I literally laughed my head off". Oh did you now? Well what's that stupid looking thing teetering on top of your neck then? "He played so well he was literally on fire." On fire was he? My god. Who put it out? Is he in hospital? Well here we go. Here's a use of the word that literally means what it means. Karpo is quite literally serving the best value food I have had the pleasure of eating in London. Literally. I've had some wonderful bowls of Vietnamese soup for £3.50. I had a simply heavenly dish at Hedone which wasn't cheap but I would have paid three times the price for. I've enjoyed loads of great food in London that represented great quality and great value. But the two course set menu they have started serving at Karpo, for £12, is literally the best value I can remember. So good I have been back for lunch three times in the last three days. I have now tasted everything on offer, starters and main, through my choices and through dipping in on my eating companions' plates. And all of it is fantastic. The dishes are inventive but comforting. A scotch egg starter comes on a bed of delicious celeriac and mustard seed. Egg inside perfectly unset. Sausage meat beautifully seasoned and crispy on the outside. The mackerel comes with burnished skin but ever so moist flesh. That's the way to do it. The mushroom soup is not only creamily divine but comes with a slab of toasted sourdough and generous topping of quality melted cheese. The basil oil accompanies perfectly. These starters are perfectly proportioned. I mentioned in an earlier review that the portions were lovely but tiny and that's why the prices were low. Now they seem to have made the portions much healthier (as in larger. Is that healthier? It is in my book) but the prices have gone lower. How does that work? Mains just get better. Venison with berries and a gentle chocolate sauce underneath was perfectly cooked and felt very Finnish. Lovely. And accompanied by a light and fluffy cheese croquette. Boom. The salmon fishcake is a light ball of divineness, and the leek and mussels in foam sauce really simple and tasty. The cottage pie comes with a huge beef bone protruding from the middle full of marrow, surrounded by expertly piped potato. And the inside is a rich sauce with chunks of short rib. No mince here. The pork belly I had today was melt in the mouth and came with separate crunchy crackling and good apple sauce. I sound like I work there or I'm best mates with the management. I'm not, honest. I'm just astounded that they are knocking out such high quality food for so little money. There is no pressure to drink expensive beers or wines. In fact they are only too happy to keep the bottled, chilled tap water coming. The service is charming. We have also ordered a side of potatoes a couple of times and what comes are new potatoes, skins on, deep fried and totally unctuous. Evil in fact. A big old bowl. £3. Not needed but ordered out of greed anyway. As I've stated in earlier reviews, there are drawbacks to Karpo. The shitty location (just across the road from Kings Cross station slap bang on the Euston Rd), the hotel residents that wander through constantly to get to their rooms. But frankly, these are ridiculously picky things to talk about when they have got it together to serve such wonderful food at such low prices. Blimey, I went to Sheekey's the other day and had a starter that was nearly twice the price of my whole meal at Karpo. It was delicious, granted. But this is what we're dealing with here. Quite LITERALLY the best value fine food in London. My advice would be get in while you can. I've walked in every day and today five of us easily got a table. I can't believe that will be the case for too long. read more

Gorgeous little restaurant. We visited for breakfast as we were staying next door at the Hotel Megaro (also fab!) Really friendly staff, great selection of food and drinks, delicious Eggs Royale and the fluffiest buttermilk pancakes - heaven! A perfect way to spend a morning. read more

I needed a quick but good bite before a train journey at Euston. After calling various restaurants and all being fully booked we settled for Karpo. I ordered the sea bass and it was delicious. For a last minute reservation on a Friday night it was a good surprise. The interiors are nice and fun. If I am ever in need of a quick meal before a night train, I would consider Karpo again. read more

This was a convenient stop for us since we weren't staying too far from it. We went for breakfast and it wasn't overly crowded which was a surprise considering it's proximity to the international train station. Service was excellent. We were told we could sit in one spot (which was a bit cramped but fine) or if we waited one min we could have a cafe style table along the wall with greenery. We didn't want to be a pain so we sat at the first table. Service was relatively quick and food was good. My pancakes were slightly under-cooked but the flavor of maple bacon made up for it. My husband got the eggs Benedict and loved them. Even when we were done and plates gone, the lady asked if we wanted any water. Since we now live in Amsterdam this caught us off guard since you pretty much always pay for water there. She let us linger which was nice since they had free wifi! No rushing. Definitely Recommended! read more

I've been to Karpo a handful of times since it opened. Generally, it's been ok at lunch / dinner, but I do like the vibe and food around breakfast - eggs benedict on english muffins with piped hollandaise sauce is a winner, as are the various concoctions of juices. Great tip for the winter is to sit on the second table on the right - a sharing table that's also warmed! Free wifi is also great. For business users - they provide VAT receipts without asking. Seriously, never understood why some places do NOT do this? read more

Walk by too quickly and you'll miss it! If my friend hadn't picked it, I would've never noticed it. Had a girl's night dinner here last week and it was pretty fabulous. Booked a reservation which was good because while it wasn't overcrowded and I don't think there was ever a queue, all the tables seemed to be occupied the entire night. Service was prompt and the food was delish. My friend mentioned that the menu changes frequently, which puts her off because she tends to be a picky eater, but I don't mind. Looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu. read more

Good but very uneven - delicious and reasonably priced mains, nice but ineffective service, small portion sizes for the relatively expensive appetizers. Overall 3.5 stars, but marking as 4 to be charitable, because the host made every effort to give us a good experience. I booked a table for 4 at Karpo to have dinner with some friends this past Friday and found it to be a mixed bag. First I had a cocktail in their downstairs bar, which was quite good. Then I got our table, which was upstairs on the 1st floor/mezzanine in an awkward space away from other diners. I requested a different table if possible, and the host graciously made an effort and eventually accommodated me when another party moved. The space is modern and funky, no complaints there. So far so good. My wife and friends arrived, and we ordered various drinks. My house wheat beer was basically equivalent to Hoegaarden, nothing to write home about. My wife's glass of Italian white was nice and dry, but warm. And our friends ordered two cocktails, which arrived half an hour apart. Wait, what? Yes, it took 35 minutes for one of our friends to get a cocktail. The host, again graciously, removed it from our bill, but none of us were very impressed. Fortunately, the bottle of white wine we ordered in the meantime arrived appropriately chilled. Our waiter was a bit odd - he was nice enough, but a bit scattered, and he got us as confused as he appeared to be. He finally got our order written down and confirmed after 4 trips to the table, but he was not always around when we wanted something, and we found it more productive to interact with the host. Our appetizers were okay - two medium-sized scallops for £13, a portion of beef tartare that had an inordinate number of capers and two pieces of toast, and artichokes that may have come from a jar. Not for sharing and not all that highly recommended. Then, shockingly enough, our mains were phenomenal. Lamb chops with mint, whole sea bream taken off the bone (which the waiter did well, to his credit), and two orders of crispy pork belly, and all were stellar. Everything was cooked flawlessly, seasoned very nicely, and delicious. The pork belly was honestly the very best I've had in London. And all were fairly reasonably priced, between £17 and £24. For dessert we split a forgettable apple crumble with an interesting and tasty scoop of stout ice cream, but again, the waiter put us off a bit by arguing with us over whether we could get the stout ice cream instead of the standard vanilla. I think he was concerned it wouldn't pair well, but if we're requesting it, just let us do it, man! Plus the ice cream was far better than the crumble. So all in all, an uneven experience. If the host had done everything and we had only ordered mains, it would have been 5 stars for sure, but as it was, they barely scraped by with 4. read more

The green wall of plants was really cool! We sat right next to it and it's actually real stuff! Impressive... But the food...not so much. What a bad decision for our first real meal in London. We were both extremely hungry and walked into the first place we saw that had good yelp reviews. This was the most expensive meal I had during my trip to London and Paris. The exchange rate was atrocious! My boyfriend had the rump steak, I had the fillet of plaice and we shared a side of jersey royals which are just potatoes. The steak was nothing to write home about...as was the fish. I didn't like the sauce and little dried shrimp that came with it because it was EXTREMELY salty. The potatoes were just potatoes...Not a very good first culinary experience! Oh well! You win some, you lose some. read more

They forgot my meal :( We were staying at The Megaro and this restaurant is attached. It's very nice inside. After a long flight and train ride, we were starving so we went here. We were greeted quickly by our waiter, and quickly ordered. He then basically vanished, We did get to hear him argue with the kitchen staff about something, which was not pleasant. My wife ordered mussels and I ordered gnocchi, her mussels came, my gnocchi never did. Neither did the waiter, I finally went up front to pay and he charged me for the gnocchi. He seemed surprised when I told him it never came. He wouldn't have been shocked if he stopped by the table earlier. We were the only patrons there.The Waiter took off the gnocchi and then yelled back to the kitchen not to make the gnocchi, Errr, I don't think they were planning to, We were pretty bummed out and didn't return for the remainder of our trip, which is sad, because we probably would have gone back if the service was up to par. read more

Totally enjoyed this. Staff was very nice and accommodating. Took family including 3 teenagers and everyone found several things they loved. Highlights were the rabbit pie, the Crispy Roosevelt's, and the mussels. Best was the cod cheeks.. Be sure to ask for some bread to go with the mussels. It's good on its own with the accompanying butter and pumpkin seeds, but you need it for to enjoy every bit of the mussels broth. read more

Being so close to King's cross I didn't have high expectations for this place but was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a Tuna Niscoise salad and was happy that the tuna was not over-cooked but lightly seared on the outside. The egg was also perfectly cooked so the yolk was just the right amount of molten. When you get something as simple as a salad, it's the little things that matter. In addition the vegetables were nice and fresh. My dining companions had the seared tuna and seemed to enjoy it as well. We rolled by on a Tuesday evening so it was pretty quiet. While I wouldn't go out of the way to get here, it's a solid choice if you're in the area. Solid 3.5 stars. read more

I stopped here for breakfast as I didn't like it at my hostel. I got pancakes with maple syrup berries and banana, accompanied by the smoothie of the day (banana strawberry and orange juice). Everything was good but maybe overpriced compared to other places, the three pancakes were small and slightly undercooked. I would come back for the cooked breakfast, the plates looked amazing read more

If I had written this review when they first opened, when we were going there once a week on average, I would have given the, 4 stars. Cons: The food. Now that they have removed southern fried quail, creamed spinach and mac 'n cheese from the menu, on the basis that these are no longer seasonal items, what remains are only mediocre choices. We stopped making a special trip to visit, although I would still eat there if I were at Kings Cross and wanted something outside the station. (Aside from Ethiopian, for which there are a couple of great venues nearby.) Pros are nice (if not attentive or fast) service and decent decor, especially taking the neighbourhood into consideration. read more

We lived just around the corner for two weeks while in London on a visit, but only discovered how great this place is on our last day, or I am sure we would have been here more than once. I had the avocado toast with scrambled eggs, and freshly squeezed (I am sure!) orange juice and a latte. All were excellent!! read more

Amazing flat white coffee. On par with Melbourne's best! Breakfast was great, sourdough bread not too stiff (it's usually like a rock back home in Melbourne). Slow jazz music makes for a relaxed ambience, on a lazy morning breakfast run. Definitely recommend. read more

With a group of 3, we had no trouble getting a table for a later dinner during the week without a reservation. I had the sea trout with tempura seaweed on asparagus and rice. The asparagus and rice were rather buttery. The seaweed was less crispy than I would have thought, heavy and chewy. The trout was well cooked though. It was good, but a few tweaks would make it better. read more

Like most people, I stayed at the Megaro and came here for a late night bite figuring it would be mediocre fare at best. Wow, was I wrong! I had the pork dish and I can honestly say its the best I've ever had. Delicious with kale and anchovies. I came back again for breakfast in the morning and was suitably impressed again. Highly recommended if you need a higher class meal in this area. Also handy for travelers to St Pancras. read more

I happened upon Karpo by accident while staying in the area and travelling from King's cross at breakfast time - lucky find! The breakfast menu had an excellent selection and was delicious, in beautiful surroundings away from the hustle and bustle outside with friendly and professional service - well recommended! read more

I do like this place. I've been here twice for book club now and the staff are lovely. I think it's a hotel bar/restaurant, though it's equally welcoming to walk-ins. I like that it's so close to Kings Cross and not crazy busy. The food is a little pricey for my tastes but I did order the beetroot salad last time and it was flavourful and fresh. My friends mostly ordered the side of mac and cheese which was universally devoured! I especially like the fun and funky decor! read more

I went here after I was kicked out of the British Library when they closed for the day. Karpo hadn't started serving dinner yet, so I had a cheese plate while I waited and then ordered a small dinner. I enjoyed my experience; it's nice and the food is expensive but delicious. read more

Great service, but meal was just subpar. Definitely would recommend the sweet potato fries, but I also got a bacon and blue cheese salad (with NO flavor) and pork ribs (that weren't hot enough and lacked texture, but I am also from Texas so I am picky about ribs). They were very gracious about getting me plenty of tap water and the check when I was ready. Great service, good atmosphere, but those meals really lacked flavor for the price. read more

Had to go here for breakfast while waiting for train at Kings Cross. Good place to stop off as nearby. Good flat white coffee and very good eggs benedict with perfect sauce I must say! read more

Surprising find. I probably walked past it countless times, but this time a friend of mine invited me for lunch and initially I couldn't believe she picked a place right across King's Cross (what a place must that be, I thought!). Once we got in, the atmosphere was much quieter than the hustle and bustle of the neighbouring area. Quick service and tasty food - quite sophisticated as well (I had a single courgette flower filled with goat cheese and covered with truffle and honey - which was very tasty). I'll definitely be back! read more

Maybe it was an off night, but I had the lobster which was pretty average. Very fishy (moreso than regular lobster) and the pasta was not al dente enough. Steak was good, chips slightly undercooked (they should be golden and crisps, not yellow and wan). Not super cheap (£20-25 a main) so I expect a little more precision for that. Really lovely staff though, and the space it lovely. read more

Taste good and price ok. The service is great and the environment is good too. Recommend to anyone who wants to try out breakfast nearby read more

Karpo on its second night was sadly empty - very strange since they served 100 covers on opening night. It's a very interestingly designed space, with some tables carved from gigantic slices of wood, to heated concrete benches and a 'living wall' of plants, including lemon thyme, parsley and what we decided was probably marjoram. The downstairs bar was cool, but cosy - and we had a quick cup of mint tea (it was a very cold night) before dinner upstairs. We could see it all being cooked in the open kitchen, and the chef, Daniel Taylor, came over for a quick chat about the place... everything is made in house and they're open for breakfast at 7 right through to dinner. We both ordered shrimp and grits - a southern American version of polenta - and it was delicious, with mushrooms and bacon and a creamy sauce...full of flavour. Some buttered cabbage on the side went with it beautifully. For dessert I had a very rich chocolate mousse cake, although without the accompanying boozy prunes and cream - I prefer my chocolate neat and unadulterated. My friend had a selection of 3 home made icecreams, which were incredibly good value at £3 for the lot. This place is great - and needs lots of custom - I'd definitely recommend a visit sooner, rather than later. I must try the breakfast pancakes - chocolate chip and banana, anyone? read more

Two stars for the food, one star for one of the staff being kind to us, minus two for the one staff member being outright rude to us. Food was pretty good and appropriately portioned. The atmosphere of the place was cool and location convenient to the tube station and our hotel. My friend and I were happy with the omelet and eggs Benedict. I asked a question about the menu, and the waiter got an attitude with me and was rude to my friend and I for the rest of the meal. After he took our order, he never spoke to us again, even when bringing our food. The employee that took us to our table was polite and the girl who brought us our bill was super nice. Decent food and cool place, just don't ask any questions about the menu unless you're cool with people being unnecessarily rude to you. read more

If one were crazy enough to open a restaurant in London then it's fair to say that King's Cross wouldn't be the obvious place for i unless you were intent on proving your craziness to all and sundry. Despite the money being pumped into the area, it's going to be a while before anybody in their right mind heads there for anything other than the train station. That being said, if you are going to open a new resto, it's important to stand out from the crowd. And one way to stand out, when you're surrounded by a million and one single item places around serving only burgers or only fried chicken or only subs or only sarnies, is to make sure you serve absolutely eeeeverything After some excellent lemon soused pickled veg and moreish (if teetotal) bourbon pecan nuts we greedily attacked the menu. There's a lot I like the look of, but very little that readily goes together as a meal. From an overly diverse selection of hot and cold starters we travelled from Britain to Finland via the Deep South. With the exception of an over plasticised Lobster Mac 'n' cheese, the other plates worked well, if not necessarily together. Southern Fried Quail was finger lickin' excellent, the oft dry bird protected and gamey flavours enhanced by a spicy, crispy crumb. Scandinavian style eel on a dark nutty rye was a silkily simple morsel perfectly executed as was a firm and rich British classic of brawn on toast. I'd tried to match the Southern theme with a main of 'Shrimp and Grits'. Pleasant enough, it just wasn't as I'd expected. Traditionally served as a slightly looser mixture, the corn grits were here more like a firm toasted polenta cake, topped with four or five big plump shrimps and doused in a rich salty gravy. Not actively unpleasant, but neither was it entirely satisfying. The polenta came hotter than the sun, an unwelcome plating error. Other mains veered from Asian influenced fish, via Moroccan chicken through to North European potato pancakes. As I say, none of us had a bad meal, there just wasn't a central concept to hang it off. Like the food, there's definitely a deal of thought gone into the design of the place, though it tries to be as all encompassing as the menu. The interior designer must have had an awfully challenging time. You can imagine the conversation over the mood boards. Ok, I'm not sure on the menu concept, it looks like you're trying to offer a little bit of everything, which is great, so we could take the design from any number of these five different styles, which do you prefer?. All of them Let's have all of them. At the same time There's Lower East Side concrete chic into Scandi furniture and an eco/sustainable herb wall, a British member's bar downstairs next door to a Hard Rock styled section with plectrum tables and wall mounted guitars and that's without mentioning the black, red and gold blinged bathroom suitable for an oligarch. Enough already, just don't come here with a headache Quirks also exist at the similarly schizophrenic Bob Bob Ricard, but there the design pulls it together perfectly and while the menu moves around, there's plenty you can make a great meal from. Neither Karpo's menu or decor really seem to know what they're trying to achieve currently, and to be honest neither do we, which is a shame, as there's definitely talent in the open plan galley kitchen at the back, focused too widely on an extensive range of disparate dishes. It's a pleasant enough meal, made good by excellent company, but there isn't anything else that'll drag me back here and I couldn't begin to describe it well enough to send anyone else. read more

Wow, what a surprise! We stumbled on to this place because we were staying in the adjacent hotel and we're so glad we came in! The service was excellent - very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! Food was also terrific! Soup and salads were timed well with the main course. We had a salad and the pumpkin soup - very fresh and tasty. For the main course, we had scallops, grilled chicken and cod. All very, very good. Chicken was very moist and flavorful. The cod was cooked to perfection. All of the food had a nice presentation. Dinner experience was so good that we've decided to come back in the morning for breakfast as well. Whoever said that the food in the UK was just meh has not been to Karpo. We would definitely recommend this place! read more

Wanted a somewhat early and light but healthy dinner. Were intrigued by earlier reviews of decor, stunning mains, and sides which were emphatically "JUST potatoes". Found truth in all and had the perfect, for us, meal. We loved the chic industrial look; copper lights, tree trunk tables, and artistic chain link fence were standouts; and the fabulous growing wall. We are still suffering jet lag and only ordered a main each and tap water. The waiter was fine with this but did try a few translations to ensure he had actually understood then made sure we didn't run out of water. Mr j had the duck breast. It was cooked to perfection, pink and juicy, and nicely arranged with small onions. As it had been obvious when ordering that it was just duck he also asked for a side of the minted Jersey Royals. They were exactly as expected; small, boiled potatoes; very nice. I ordered the chicken breast which had a smoky taste and lovely crispy skin. It was accompanied by a slice of potato scallop and kale which was delicious flavour and texture. read more
