The staff and service were very good, with a member of the staff making sure we were warm enough. The general standard of food as very good and the cleanliness of the establishment including the toilets was excellent.

The food was excellent. My only complaint, we had was it was cold , there was only a small plug in heater to heat the down stairs section of the restaurant. We did mention it to our server but there was no solution.

Great view across the river from table . Service friendly, helpful, and efficient . . Food portions adequate and well presented - meat eaters thoroughly enjoyed food . Beetroot vegetarian main course - insubstantial and disappointing . Overall an enjoyable experience.

Told on arrival that we HAVE TO have a minimum of 2 courses from their set lunch menu at £22.50 a head - certainly wasn’t aware from their website that this would be ‘mandatory’ & not so keen on the tone it immediately set in terms of customer choice. Most places will accommodate single courses if that was all the customer wanted. Some people, for example more elderly customers, are not necessarily able to eat multiple courses. However, on this occasion, this wouldn’t have been a problem in itself. Then we’re told 2 out of the 5 main courses incur a further £5 supplement (so it’s actually £27.50 a head), & one of the remaining 3 non-supplement options is not even available (blade of beef replaced by chicken, a much cheaper option). So the upshot is a diminishing range of options for an increasing that we ultimately felt rather restricted & misled. The food itself was fine, though the mains portions felt a little stingy - a few more veg wouldn’t go amiss.

Servers were great starters were fine, main courses too small and Turkey was very processed. We asked for more gravy and we’re only given a small milk jug that was for 1 person. Not good value for money

This is a very good looking restaurant, staff are friendly and attentive, but , and I say this reluctantly, the quantity of good food let's the restaurant down. The food is good quality, very tasty and well presented but omg it leaves me hungry after £45 for 3 courses. I'm used to 6 by Nico so know quantity is not a good measure, but I feel that because these were small servings I cannot go back. Apologies Mr Kitchen but To he Mustard Seed win's again.

Good modern food. The halibut and panna cotta were excellent. However we had to order some bread to mop up the delicious broth with the halibut as there was nothing else to absorb it.

Food was very tasty but not enough of it. My friend and l both were still hungry after 2 courses and bought chips on the way home immediately afterwards. It wouldn’t cost much to do some nice chunky bread and butter to go with sparce starter. Expected more for £40 per head. Been before but won’t be going back sadly

The Kitchen has a great ambience with riverside view and such friendly, attentive staff. The food is always delicious and attractively presented. It's great that they are cool with customers sharing starter and dessert to make a two course meal for two overall, which boosts their already good value for money. The melt in the mouth, slow cooked beef shoulder is amazing. Highy recommended.
