Wandle Pirates

Not enough stars to rate that wonderful place! The staff - awesome! I love it when the people combine humor with capability, the food was delicious, but also the way it was presented... nailed it! The food was fresh and tasty, well served and we got some really good recommendations about the menu. Not to mention how charming the place is! I'd recommend the place to anyone with taste for food and rum!

I'll be back for sure to try more from the menu! First off all you may need to understand the settings of the area which doesn't allow you to have the toilet in the restaurant where you eat but you need to walk 40m outside to get to it and I would not say it was clean. The pirate atmosphere is great and was nice to discover! If you want to spend well your money on a great quality meat then the pirates have what you need, I don't suggest to pass the medium cooking time of the meat otherwise you risk to go on the over cook. I had also a leg of octopus which was sublime, unfortunately I had to ignore the potatoes where going with it. Rosemary fries top. The staff was really welcoming and you couldn't miss anything, absolutely very nice and patient with children. Great cocktails too.

Usually I can be quite critical with a review, but I have to say the food in this place is unbelievably exceptional. Everything was bursting with flavor and I can say, hand on heart, I've eaten steak in a restaurant in London that has been reviewed by a global audience and this was nicer. The starter was really tasteful and not only was the presentation spot on, the seasoning was perfect on everything. Hidden gem.

Unassuming outside....inside is excellent food in a quirky setting (pirate theme as the name would suggest). Friendly and attentive service. We had 8 tapas dishes between 2 (left very full!) - all delicious but the highlights were the flank steak and the ribs. We're not rum drinkers but asked for recommendations and the suggestions went down very well. Will be back to try more tapas and to have the steak.
