Makars Gourmet Mash Bar (london)

Absolutely love this place. Have visited twice now, the second time for Burns Night and the waitress remembered me without me saying anything, which was so sweet. Really great, friendly service and lovely, warm atmosphere but the food itself is even more of a draw. First time round I had the haggis with black pudding mash and peppercorn sauce - the ultimate combo, amazing pairing of flavours, so warming and delicious. Luckily was able to order this as a starter portion for my second visit so I didn’t get fomo (although was still very generous and filling!). Smoked sausage also very tasty, plus visited with a veggie friend and we were pleasantly surprised at how many plant options there were on the menu - that were of equal quality and taste. Reasonably priced too especially given the prime location, a must visit!!

It gets busy so a reservation is recommended. I found the mash tasty albeit not a lot. It’s an expensive meal for what it is - mash and a protein. The sticky toffee pudding was a stand out though. The service was great. We had to wave for our waitress every time we needed something - there wasn’t really a proactive effort to check on us.

My friend recommended Makars Mash Bar and we went for dinner. The restaurant looks beautiful in the nice and warm light, with comfy seats, and very friendly staff. The food looks and tastes superb, so are the drinks. There are various choices on the menu and we are surrounded by the happy 😊 voices and smiles ☺. It is a wonderful experience and we certainly would come again. Happy New Year! ✨️🎊💃🏻

We dined at Makar's on a Friday evening with a reserved table, we were greeted warmly and shown to our table where the menu was briefly explained (you get mash with everything basically so choose that once you know what main you want!). The menu is a great mix of traditional favorites including of course, HAGGIS! We got ourselves a wee dram and ordered, the food both starters (for me Soup of the day, for my partner a scotch egg) were great and served up super quick, the mains we both went for the haggis which was rich, the mash was creamy and the whole thing came with a generous portion of gravy and veg. Really good, highly recommended.\ We opted for more whiskey and a boozy desert of ice cream with Scottish tablet and a shot of baileys which was very tasty. Service throughout was fast and friendly, the restaurant was busy enough to feel like you weren't dining alone but not so busy that it felt over crowded. My only complaint, they don't take amex - (I'm a points fiend I like my air miles!) Other than that go and visit them TODAY.
