The steaks were cooked really well. The staff was really nice and helpful. It was a bit smoky inside but still - a very enjoyable meal.

A braai (South African BBQ) styled restaurant. If you like your meat, then this restaurant is for you, although they also do some vegetarian dishes. You can order one of their meat sharing platers but we opted to pick our own dishes. The portion sizes weren’t as big as we were expecting given the price, so we ended up having to order more once our food arrived. Our mains were delicious; however, our desserts, the malva pudding (quite similar to treacle pudding but has an apricot flavour), tasted burnt on the outside. In hindsight, we wished we ordered more mains as opposed to a dessert. Service on a whole was okay, although they did take a while to come and take payment after we got the bill. We got an nice little surprise at the end with 50% off because it was January. It made the meal really good value for money.

Had a really nice time here, the waiter we had was really friendly and attentive and explained everything to us. Food was very flavourful and fresh, and we had quite a lot to share between two people. Would definitely return here again.

Wonderful and very well cooked variety of meats - we had the Baby Braai. The assortments of beers (tasted majority between the group) was good. Also had a couple of wines which were also good. Great place for indoor BBQ on a wet day with platters to share with groups large and small. Thank you!

London'sLondon food is competitive so I'm starting to reserve 5*. I say this because it was still a great meal, we shared a variety of the meats, went back for more pork ribs, had a nice cocktail. Service was friendly and I would go back

Lovely meal with friends. It’s a great place to go with a group because you can share the giant platter and try everything. LOADS of meat (but what else would you expect) but quite diverse flavours. Staff were friendly and it wasn’t too busy.

A great steak restaurant which is well worth a visit. There is variety on the menu but we enjoyed a platter followed up with Boerewors....whilst supping on a few lovely reds. The waitress was knowledgeable and helpful about the wines. Great place to soak up the smells of a BBQ steak and chat with friends over excellent food and wine 😀
