In the heart of a quaint alley, lies "Lost and Found," a sanctuary where flavors mingle and memories are kindled. Here, amidst the symphony of clinking glasses and whispered secrets, Ellie emerges as the maestro, weaving tales not with words, but with the delicate dance of dishes that speak directly to the soul. Beneath the soft glow of lanterns, Ellie moves, a silent sonnet in the cacophony of culinary creation. Each plate she presents is a verse in a greater poem, a narrative spun from the loom of her imagination, where ingredients are not mere substances, but characters in a story of taste, texture, and tantalizing aroma. The ambience of "Lost and Found" mirrors the mystique of its name, a place where one can lose themselves in the moment, only to find a piece of themselves they never knew was missing. And Ellie, with her gentle smile and artist's hands, guides each guest on this journey of discovery, through the meandering paths of her culinary landscape. Her creations, a harmonious blend of the familiar and the novel, invite diners to embark on a voyage of sensory exploration. With each course, a new horizon unfolds, revealing landscapes of flavor where each bite is a footprint on the shores of gastronomic delight. Ellie, the unsung poet of "Lost and Found," crafts not just meals, but experiences that linger on the palate and in the heart long after the last candle flickers and fades. In this haven of lost and found, she is both the compass and the destination, a beacon of creativity in the bustling city's night.

Absolutely incredible experience for our formal! The Lost and found seating area was perfect and the space held so many people! The atmosphere was great as there were two formals going on at the same time, but it was separated so we still felt it was personal. It was highly organised and the staff were great too! We had a 3 course meal with wine and Prosecco - all tasted delicious! They catered for gluten free and vegan which was an added bonus! We’d definitely book again for our formal! The decorations were also lovely, especially for Christmas The food itself was incredible! The butternut squash soup was lovely, and apparently the salmon and chicken liver pate was great too. No complaints! The Turkey and beef Christmas dinner was a huge hit! The seabass was nice but the risotto and ‘herb’ salad wasn’t the best tasting - the flavours didn’t really go well together. But it was still edible! And then the vegan ravioli was alright but again not the best. There was no vegetarian and gluten free option, so I had to have the fish (but luckily I am flexible). They did have vegan and the fish was gluten free. But would be good to have a veg + gf option. Especially since the non-meat options weren’t the best, however they were still eaten! The desserts were lovely! Gf chocolate torte was incredible and the brownies were great too! Overall, a lovely experience and would go again. Probably better for meat eaters though

Erm, right, where do I start? The one positive! Lost & Found looks really nice. It’s fancy and pretty and makes you feel special and excited when you step inside the doors. But then there’s everything else. I’ll write it in bullet points otherwise I’ll be here for days. > Confusion surrounding booking details - made to feel like we’d done something wrong when it was their communication/booking system that was at fault. > Cutlery was so dirty, we cleaned a teaspoon and it left a big dirty stain on the napkin (photo attached). Ew gross! > Our “vegetarian” (marked on reservation and checked on arrival) afternoon tea contained salmon (which was also leaning across the actual vegetarian options). > The vegetarian choices lacked variety; a roll with tomatoes or a sandwich with cheese, tomatoes, and the saltiest pesto you’ve ever met. > We were given tea strainers to seem all fancy but there were teabags in the teapots (ha!). > Ordered a decaf tea for a 3yo child and some caffeinated tea, and the pots were placed down with no indication which was which. When refilled, they swapped the teabags into the opposite pots, just to keep us on our toes. > Scones were so bitter (weird) and dry they made my eye twitch. We were ‘lucky’ enough to win this meal in a raffle. I would have been devastated if I’d have had to pay the £65 price tag for that experience. Sorry Lost & Found, we won’t be returning nor recommending. Yikes.

We visited on the afternoon of New Years Eve and it wasn’t too busy at this time. The best thing here was the service was really really good. There was a large group of us (12) and the waiter was so great and attentive, always there ready to take more drinks orders, recommended food options and help tweak things on the menu. The food was great overall, there were two vegetarians (myself included) who would like to leave some constructive criticism over the cauliflower steak - the steak itself was great but the tapers in the beans were too much, it made everything really salty as there was just so many of them it made the beans inedible because of this (this may be personal preference but for me I had to leave the beans and tapers, you can see from the image there were quite a lot) I felt it could do with something else as there were no carbs with this meal - just the cauli steak, puree and beans with tapers for £16 I feel it should come with some sort of carb so I added a side and would highly suggest doing this if you order this meal. Desert I’d recommend is the brownie! 10/10 for that one! Really pretty and aesthetic restaurant. Would still return and highly recommend the service and other meals here :)

A Perfect Birthday Celebration at Lost&Found I chose Lost&Found for a special dinner to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and it turned out to be a fabulous decision. Our manager, Hattica (I hope I spelled her name correctly), along with her colleagues, made our evening delightful. To add a surprise element, I arranged a cake to be delivered beforehand. When the staff approached our table singing “Happy Birthday” and carrying the cake, my family was overjoyed. This warm gesture was indeed memorable. We ordered a steak and amixed grill of lamb, both of which were exceptionally prepared. The quality of the food was stunning; from the flavors to the presentation, everything upheld the restaurant’s reputation. We were particularly impressed with their cocktails, which offered innovative choices every time. I must also commend their attention to detail, including preparation for the birthday celebration and consideration for our photo-taking moments during the meal. Overall, our experience atLost&Found was impressive in almost every aspect, making for a perfect evening. I highlyrecommend visiting this place if you’re looking for an outstanding dining experience with thoughtful service. T&Co

Nice location near cosmos at the top of park street. venue has a nice calm vibe, its decorated very pretty (cue the insta pics) the staff all seem quite young and very happy to help. been here for lunch on a saturday - the place was full of groups of girls having brunch/lunch. they do a bottomless brunch deal which includes a brunch meal and unlimited prosseco (and a few other options if you don't like prosecco) . it was VERY busy and couldn't hear ourselves think as we were next to a bottomless brunch birthday party! We phoned to say we'd be 10 mins late and the person on the phone was not happy about it so we were apprehensive... but when we got there the food and drinks were good and staff were accommodating and apologetic of the noise. I had a king prawn pizza which was nice and bay of the beast cocktail which was delicious but is now discontinued! been here for drinks in the evening- nice relaxed atmosphere, cocktails are clever and tasty but the drinks aren't huge. not bad for £5 though as there was a deal on. The drink/cocktail choice is huge so everyone will find something they will like. I would definately go back if I was in the area.
