5/5 stars
Tom and Ed Martin, who have opened a string of acclaimed gastropubs and restaurants in London (including The Gun in the Docklands and The Botanist at Sloane Square), have done it again. Yet another smooth, good-looking, Hugh Grant of a gastropub with great food and a proper beer list. That much we’ve come to expect. But a good pub on the King’s Road? Now that’s news.

The cooking is “decent”, but the only thing that seems really to stand out in this review is the “animal lover’s nightmare” décor, “complete with stuffed buffalo, fox and rabbit heads and a bevy of deer skulls”.
