One day trip from London (business). Idea - let’s eat something good. I have never heard about that restaurant before.

Effect:

I’ll make that trip again just for the food!

Something to say but not heavily criticised: staff had a problem with suggesting the right wine for the dish. Still… can’t complain about the service quality.

My partner and I went here to celebrate a special occasion and we were incredibly impressed by Thompson's. The restraunt has shuttered windows and is not obvious on the outside to what it is. The inside is intimate, personal and lacking the ostentatious air you might expect from fine dining. With only six tables and a small open the kitchen, the staff from the maitre'd to the head chef were hospitable and friendly throughout.

As each course was served, it was served by the member of kitchen staff who made it, sharing credit for the junior kitchen staff members as well as the head chef for the main course. Each explained what we were being served and the meal (tasting menu) was paired with an excellent selection of wines. The food was superb and it would be unfair to try and compare this to any other restraunt outside of fine dining. This was food as an art form and not simply a pastime.

Combined with the relaxed atmosphere we spent three comfortable hours here and had our minds blown by the extreme quality, care and intelligence behind the flavours and wine of each dish. Privately as someone who didn't hold a high opinion of fine dining before, I left with a completely changed perspective, feeling very full and that even at the high prices we enjoyed excellent value for money.

We can't reccomend enough if you are seeking something special and we hope to visit again soon when the menu changes.

A great experience! I had the taste menu and the dishes were all lovely. The ray wing and parsley polenta was excellent coming a close second to the lamb "hotpot"! Adrian and Jo were super at looking after me and Robert Thompson had a long chat before the meal. The chefs bring the dishes out and explain them which is a great touch. You can also ask any questions! Will be visiting again!

Loved it, delicious food and great service. Fine dining at its best and really looking forward to next time. We had the lobster canaloni, the lamb and the sea bream. Fish was moist and lamb was cooked to perfection. Drinks were great and we had the chance to sit by the kitchen. Definitely coming back :)

Absolutely BRILLIANT restaurant with outstanding food.

Our Host, Robert Thompson was a delight and the staff and level of service second to none.

We had the set menu which was outstanding value for money.

Cannot commend this restaurant too highly

Thought I should give this place a try because it was recommended online with very high rating.

I wouldn’t say it’s bad but neither is it that good.

Having the cutlery underneath the table is a nice little twist.

Nothing really Standes out taste wise that’s why only 3 stars from me.

Presentation of food however is good and appealing and service fast and friendly.

Prices are fair especially seasonal set menu is recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. They even went to the extra effort of decorating a plate especially for our 4th anniversary. I cannot recommend this place enough great food, great people and a lively atmosphere with the open kitchen.

A really lovely meal to celebrate my husband's birthday! Delicious food, friendly staff and a perfect evening! Couldn't have been better - thank you!
