"Wonderfully rich – a far cry from school dinners."

Jay Rayner

"Expensive restaurants are only justified if the food is uniformly great – as the queen of puddings, with its soft piped meringue topping giving way to a light raspberry-jam-smeared sponge, especially was."

Fiona Beckett

"A stylish Queen of Puddings with a piped meringue topping was spot on."

The Culture Trip

"The standout dish is the mince and potatoes. While it might sound boring, this traditional British dish is incredibly rich and decadent, and is exactly what you need on a long winter’s night: a comforting bowl of warming, flavoursome mince accompanied by a generous portion of potatoes."

Tatler

"As for the food, it's utterly scrumptious - kedgeree."

Ellie Mathews

"Rather than a pile of curry sauce, this kedgeree came fully incorporated. Overall with the rich duck egg this was a real breakfast of champions and I was in serious envy of my aunt."

Lizzie Thomson

"The mince is rich and incredibly moreish and the herb-flecked tatties are perfect for mopping up the bottom of the plate. This is British comfort food done right — no wonder celebs flock to this haunt."

Tom Vaughan

"Mince is cooked with shallots, garlic, tomato purée, thyme, bay leaf and a splash of red wine and chicken stock, then finished with Worchester sauce and tomato ketchup, and served with streamed and shaken potatoes, themselves finished with butter and parsley. The coarseness ensures the mince carries the flavour much better, and holds a better texture. The potatoes are served at the table, spooned on top of the mince. It's a worthy signature dish."

Nicky Richmond

"This was superior comfort food indeed, with a really deeply intense flavour to the meat and gravy. Big, floury steamed potatoes, with chopped parsley on the side, served in a copper dish. I liked it."

Olivia Ovenden

"Soho House's popular restaurant breathes life into this classic British dish that has a rich meaty sauce with a subtle kick of Worcester Sauce. This stew is simple but still grabs you by the collar with its intensity and will warm you to the bone. The ratio of potatoes on the surface are spot on too, meaning you won't leave hungry."
