Kerridge’s Bar & Grill

While the ambiance and food were good the service needs some work. We sat at a table with a dirty water glass, but no worries as it happens. We ordered a carafe of wine and were brought only one glass. We had to get the attention of the wine steward and he fixed this. Ordered our meals and added an additional side. My monkfish looked delicious, however upon cutting into it the part closest to the bone needed more cooking. The flesh didn’t want to come away from the bone. We asked for it to be cooked another minute. It was quickly taken care of and came back on a fresh plate and cooked a tad more. We were halfway eating when we realized that none of the sides came to our table. By the time we got the attention of someone and made them aware the sides were missing the remainder of the food went cold. Just a lot of simple mishaps but collectively they put a damper on our otherwise excitement to eat here. I will say they did bring a dessert to try to amend their errors, which I do appreciate but would’ve rather had a better experience.

My recent experience at Kerridge Bar & Grill in London was nothing short of exceptional, particularly in their private dining setting. Our group of 12 was treated to an evening that masterfully balanced refinement with theatrical flair. The main restaurant space speaks elegance with its high ceilings and sophisticated décor, though I noticed it has the potential to get lively during peak hours. Our evening began with perfectly chilled champagne and expertly crafted canapés in the main bar area, setting the tone for what was to come. We were then escorted to our private dining room, where the experience truly elevated – watching the chefs prepare our dishes in front of us added an intimate, interactive dimension to the meal. The sommelier deserves special mention for their thoughtful wine pairings, taking time to explain each selection and how it complemented the dishes. Every dish was executed with precision – from the starters through to desserts, the kitchen demonstrated exceptional consistency. The intimacy of the space combined with the personalized service creates an unforgettable experience. While certainly in the premium dining category, the value delivered through the quality of ingredients, execution, and service justifies the investment for those special celebrations.

The food was good although I would not order again lamb chops because it was a little bit fatty meat for me. The atmosphere was very nice . The service was good too but what pissed me off and why I put three stars is that you charge 15% of service charge as a mandatory fee. Tips should be given based on the client experience. Your price in the menu should include everything and if you want to get more money, you need to increase the price in the menu but not to trick people in this way. It was very negative experience for me. You will not face it in the USA or Canada because it is optional but people give good tips for the service if they had it.
