The Pomeroy Inn was one of those places that I'd always driven past but never actually tried…read more However, I can now finally say that it is well worth a visit. The interior of the pub is a sort of cross between traditional English pub and restaurant -- and the servers are friendly and efficient. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays they offer a set menu of £22 for two courses or £26 for three, with a variety of dishes on offer just on this menu. Some of these have the option to upgrade, and it was of this that I availed myself. I opted for the fresh scallops to start, and these were delightful! Served with chorizo and edible flowers, the smokiness of the scallops was beautiful. For mains, I chose a Wagyu burger and topped it with grilled halloumi, served with sweet potato fries and onion rings. The burger was cooked slightly medium rare which kept its meatiness intact, and the halloumi on top was an inspired addition. For dessert, a simple crème brûlée. Beautifully served with a strawberry on top and oat biscuits to the side, the vanilla cream in the dessert was one of the best I have ever tasted. All in all, this place is worth a visit. The prices aren't cheap, but nor are they expensive enough to leave you with an eye-watering check -- and the food is certainly worth the price!

Very intriguing mix of country-gastro-pub. From the menu to the decor to the staff you can tell…read morethat the Pomeroy is committed to creating a quality experience. The menu is eclectic touching on some pub classics (burger, steaks, fish and chips), to continental (pâte mousse) to American farm-to-table (pork belly) (they have Sierra Nevada on Tap!!!). I had the pâte to start and the pork belly with scallops for the main. Each course was well proportioned. The scallops were perfectly done but small. For the park belly I was expecting a pavé of pork belly confit. Instead i was served more of a pancetta roll (a little heavy on the pepper). The accompanying sides (brocoli and potatoes dauphinois) were excellent. The sauce was a perfect and didn't over power. Overall if your interested in a free-wheeling pub-night and want a homey cosy experience but aren't too concerned with a gourmet menu, keep going down the road to Little Chalfont and stop at the White Lion. If you want a more refined experience, but not too formal, the Pomeroy is a great spot. Definitely recommended. Plus the cocktails are quite good !

Okay, so I have lived in the area for just shy of two years, you would think that I would have…read moretried this place. Sad but true, I went in for the first time last weekend - for shame! I don't even know where to begin... So it's Saturday night, and we've missed "dinner time", but we're both hungry. Didn't fancy ordering in so I suggested we taking a jaunt down to this curry house that I walk past everyday (yes, I know it's bad.) I had been told it was good so I thought what the hey, lets give it a go. Please note that my partner in crime is a huge curry fan, so this was a test of mega proportions. Our order ran as follows: Starter - Poppadoms and chutney / onion salad / dips. Main - Fairly spicy Lamb Madras & Lamb Jalfrezi Bread - Keema Naan Rice - Basmati rice Vegetable - Daal Saag Drinks - Wine and Cobra Never guess how much it came to? Go on one guess... forty quid! I KNOW!!! And not only was the price good, the food is fantastic and the portions substantial. As I'm writing this, I suddenly realised that you might actually want to go there now, hmmm. Just so you know, it's a teeny tiny restaurant, maybe seats only 20 people, but, don't panic the large percentage of their business is take-away (that's how they started), in fact when we arrived about 9pm on Saturday the owner told us that he had had already made about 80 deliveries! They open at 5pm - crickey! Here some inside info for you, the owner also told me that in the summer they will be opening a new roof terrace! Granted you are still in Brixton but there is nothing like eating al fresco. However if I don't get a table, I'm coming after you. ;o)

The restaurant is nicely done with lots of red leather, comfy chairs and quirky artwork. I met up with my sister for lunch and I probably should have mentioned to someone that we only had an hour, as everything took rather a long time and we had to rush at the end. My sister ordered the beetroot and goats cheese starter as a main course. We obviously didn't explain ourselves properly - we had meant for it to be a main course size, but it was just a small plate of beetroot and cheese. It was delicious, but not filling enough in the slightest for lunch. It also had no actual salad with it! I ordered the hake and substituted garlic mushrooms for the couscous that it usually comes with. The hake was outstanding - absolutely delicious, simple, fresh and very tasty. I was pretty blown away by it. Although the food had taken a while to arrive, we still had some time for a coffee - so we ordered some. It took 20 minutes and three times of asking to actually get these quite delicious beverages. They did kindly knock them off the bill, which we appreciated. It was slightly expensive, very slightly under delivered, but the food was exceptional and I would be very willing to go back - especially in the evening when we could take more time over the meal.

Firstly can I just say what a fantastic set of staff here at Wheelers Bank. When I come to a…read moresomewhat plush place like this I expect good service mainly because of the cliente they usually expect caters for it, but when I went for Wheelers first birthday gathering, ALL staff were outstanding. Beyond expectation they were friendly, talkative, explained the history, and allowed a tour of the place without even it being part of the evening. That was proper service but generally just being great people. The bar area up front past entrance is nicely set out and looks into a dining area that has Marco Pierre White's iconic photos looming large. The main lounge area is housed under a spectacular overhanging dome of a window of you can call it that. It's all housed within what used to be a bank and being in the city this place is steeped in history and they have made sure it has maintained that to this day, embracing the architecture. I seem to recall Wheelers is the oldest Restaurant in the city too. There's also an attached hotel to the bar and restaurant. With some fantastic stairways to match its a beautiful setting inside with some great food to match if the canapés are anything to base it on. They host do wedding receptions and rooms for business meetings. A fascinating place.

In terms of service and atmosphere, both I will endorse as excellent. It's like a small coffee shop vibe with servers who are attentive to customer needs. I am giving this place a 4 primarily because of the food. Some highlights of the food include: The presentation is very well done! Whether the eggs were fried or poached, there was some type of red vegetables placed on top of the eggs that made it look pretty, along with pomegranate seeds on top of the smashed avocado, and so on. The toast was tasty, along with the sausages, bacon, hashbrown, and tomatoes. The waffle in general was tasty, albeit not a difficult dish to make since it's vanilla yogurt and honey. In terms of where improvement can be used, the eggs, whether poached or fried, were overcooked and didn't really have runny yolk, which could be a one off this time, but the yolk color was darker than usual, which might suggest some level of overcooking as well. The mushroom had a weird taste that I couldn't comprehend. And finally, the added smoked salmon pieces felt like they could belong to the original dishes in the first place. They tasted good, but I have definitely purchased straight up smoked salmon pieces from Costco and they tasted just like the one served on my plate. Paying £4 more, I would expect something more than what I have described above. With all that said, would I recommend this spot? That is still a definite yes. The food was still great! Just didn't live up to the amount of hype I have heard about. It is close to the British Museum as well, so one can easily visit the museum right after such.

FOOD: 10/10 The food…read morehere was amazing. We ordered: -Scrambled Spicy Shakshuka -Protein Power Breakfast (w/ Salmon) -Country Omelette -Baileys Latte -Honey Latte Honestly, I was really taken aback by the quality, balance, and flavor of everything. It's rare to find a spot where every dish is executed at such a high level, especially when our group has a wide range of preferences and we hadn't been the biggest fans of British food given our more recent consecutive attempted experience the few days leading up to this day. Victoria House completely turned that impression around. The shakshuka had a low-to-medium kick--just enough spice to enjoy all the fiery nuances without overwhelming the palate. Pairing it with their sourdough bread created the perfect bite. The omelette? Wow. I'm not usually an omelette person, but this one was huge, incredibly fluffy, and packed with flavor. It might genuinely be one of the best omelettes I've ever had. Then there's the Protein Power Breakfast--and yes, I wish they had named it something else--but this dish was an absolute standout. It's the kind of meal I could eat every morning. The variety on the plate was so satisfying: rich, runny poached eggs, creamy smashed avocado, and mushrooms bursting with juicy flavor. We loved it so much that we came back a second time--something I almost never do when traveling or in general (since there is always a new place to try!) Finally, the Baileys Latte deserves its own spotlight. It's complex and delicious, with just a gentle hint of Baileys that's noticeable but not repulsive. Even if you're not a fan of alcohol, I think you'd still enjoy this--it's more of a subtle, indulgent note in an already perfect cup of coffee. SERVICE: 10/10 The service here was attentive and seamless without feeling intrusive. They checked in on us at just the right times and even refilled our water glasses before we had to ask. Considering how busy the restaurant was, with a line out the door and plates constantly being carried around, the best way to describe the vibe is "orderly chaos." Despite the packed space and the hustle, everything ran like clockwork--efficient, calm, and impressively organized. AMBIANCE: 8/10 It's definitely a popular tourist and local spot, and while it's not as spacious as I'd normally like, the energy felt lively rather than overwhelming. The line moved faster than I expected (and I hate waiting in lines), so it didn't end up being much of an issue. Plus, the décor was beautiful--thoughtful details that made sitting and enjoying breakfast here all the more enjoyable. Victoria House is a must-visit, and I'm already looking forward to the next time I can come back.
