Tap and Kitchen — Restaurant in England

I'm a dairy free customer so I realise I'm a bit of a pain. However, when we came in there was no one to greet us despite them not being particularly busy. We sat down and had to get up to ask someone for menus after 20minutes. Informed staff about my dairy free requirements which they said would be no issue. Starter arrived, beef Carpaccio which was good. However, considering I had no parmesan should have been seasoned by the kitchen which it wasnt. Main course was sea bream with lobster sauce. Except my sea bream was slightly overcooked and it didn't come with any lobster sauce as that had dairy in it. I think it's not a good sign that the kitchen didn't think to provide it with another sauce, perhaps the chimichurri the steak was served with. No one communicated about the lack of sauce before serving and because of this the whole dish was dry. On top of this the lardons were overcooked and pretty hard. I ate it because it was overall "okay" but looking back now I wish I hadnt and had sent it back. The chips tasted kind of stale also, I think the oil needed changing. I provided feedback at the end of the meal and was told the chef would be informed. No one came back to me with an apology or any clarification which was a missed opportunity. My partner's meal on the other hand was great, and his roast dinner was pretty good except that the Yorkshire pudding was overcooked. To the staffs credit they dealt with the storm particularly well and moved us inside quickly. The beer produced onsite was very enjoyable. But overall, we didn't have the...

Passable, overpriced food ruined by the maître d'. Get appetizers. Frankly, having looked at others' reviews, I would avoid if you have a child needing a high chair.

We spent 60£ here on a Saturday night, tasted about 35ish. Ambiance is cramped and loud. We were generously (sarcastic) granted a table without reservations, not in itself a problem. But the attitude! We were told by the maître d' to be out in 90 minutes (seriously, we were given a time limit). As others have mentioned, not young child friendly. No prams/strollers/pushchairs allowed, which is a bizarre rule. After we had paid our bill, collected our things to leave and maneuvered towards the door, maître d' asked us if we were finished. I answered an affirmative, to which she asked if we "needed" the bill. I was flabbergasted.

As for the food. The appetizer scallops were delicious and the dish had a surprising chorzio accompaniment, which was unexpected and a delightful twist. The bread plate is fluffy and the right density, with an olive oil and, particularly satisfying, balsamic. The hake was not worth 18 quid, just a basic salt, pepper, and oil with vegetables main that one could prepare at home. Children's mac and cheese was served in an absurdly large bowl with a cheese I could not quite identify, pretty sharp.

It is a brewery so, obviously, the beer (we had a stout)...

Not a child friendly venue as other reviews have also mentioned. The food was nice but a member of the bar staff was very rude to me (all I politely asked for was a larger glass!!!). So much so I didn't dare go back to the bar to buy another drink even though I was thirsty!!!

Owner asked for clarification: Not child friendly as pushchairs are not allowed. Didn't want to use high chair as they are filthy and the safety straps are worn. No safety ropes around the river side seating section so huge danger to toddlers from drowning. Also on previous visit I asked for some cooled boiled water for our baby as it was a hot day and it never arrived in the 1.5 hours we were there.

When I left the only visible staff were the two girls behind the bar, so I didn't speak to a manager. I was served by a mousy brown haired girl cut into a long bob. After ordering food and drink I had phone and wallet and keys and table number in my hand so I asked if I could please have a larger glass so I could fit all the drink in and not have to carry the soda water bottle as well which was met with attitude and I was told it was a 250ml drink so no! Then when I looked at her wide eyed, she tutted and slammed a pint glass in front of...
