The restaurant is a large, modern room (the same space where hotel breakfast is served), but it lacks a distinct dinner personality. For premium London prices, the evening was a major mixed bag. βThe Food: Hit and miss. The Warm Lincolnshire smoked eel starter was disappointingβthe leeks were cut the wrong way, making them tough and fibrous to cut, and the dish felt baked rather than charred. Fortunately, the Cumbrian lamb main was excellent. βThe Service: The front-of-house team completelyβ¦
Food and service were amazing. The sommelier recommended a beautiful bottle of English sparkling wine to pare with our meal. The manager was super helpful with giving some suggestions. Stuff also very professional.
To start on a positive note, the food was genuinely good. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, well-balanced and clearly made with quality ingredients. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. Flavors were refined without being overcomplicated and presentation was polished. From a purely culinary standpoint, it was an enjoyable meal. The biggest issue was the service.

This was a lovely environment, and the service was amazing, the food was fantastic, we had the early menu, and we weren't disappointed, although not a lot of choice, it was great.
We Celebrated Valentineβs Day at Wild Honey - the food was incredible and we will definitely return just for the food and the decor. The service was okay for a normal restaurant level but for a Michelin star I expected better service as I have experienced at other Michelin restaurants. The dishes were not explained apart from one dish and the service felt distant. But overall the food was amazing and I would recommend a visit!
