We had a yummy lunch and even though the plates weren't huge we were very full. Quiye expensive but pretty good value for a michelin... More

I visited this place for lunch with two old college friends. We had lots of chat to catch up on and this was an ideal place to have a leisurely meal in relaxed surroundings and not feel hurried along at all. The staff were friendly and the service was slick and smooth with no pretention. The food was superb, couldn't... More

Firstly, I need to say that the food here is great - it is certainly at a Michelin standard, and at £42 for three courses it is impossible to find such quality for the price. We will be back! Ravioli of shellfish was divine, reminding me of GRRHR; dessert of champagne jelly and granita will stay with me for a... More

Perhaps we went here with too high expectations. The food was by no means awful but for a Michelin starred restaurant you would expect much more. We had the calfs brain and crab raviolo, both were okay, but that's just it - okay. For the price we paid (£110 for lunch including wine) this was unsettling. For our mains we... More

Medlar is a great little restaurant and well worth going a bit out of your way to eat here. To start we had the calfs brain and the crab raviolo, the calfs brain was good whilst the raviolo was excellent. Mains were turbot and lamb, again both were fantastic, the best lamb I've ever had in fact. For dessert we... More

Based on the reviews and the fact that I live just down the road to say I was excited to eat at Medlar is an understatement and was looking forward to making it a monthly fixture. However my expectations were quickly lowered. It started when we asked for tap water, this is never a problem, but were brought a bottle... More

We were really looking forward to our dinner at this restaurant which looked and sounded exciting....food was great especially the starters but did not live up to the Michelin star...cheese board and wines were excellent...the service felt a bit rushed and I did make that known to the maître d which he promptly addressed...all in all it was a great...

I was looking for a delicious hearty meal, to be my last meal for a few days, as I was going in for surgery. Medlar fitted the bill superbly - I was filled up by handsome portions of really well cooked food! We tried the brain starter just out of curiosity and it was OK, no great flavour. My main... More

Beautifully rare rack if lamb with crispy confit shoulder and sweet succulent tongue on a magical bed of petit pois and Jerseys was one of the dishes of my life.

When I was just in Chelsea London UK, I met with some girlfriends at Medlar and I have to say this will go down as one of the top 5 lunches in my life. Everything was impeccable from the welcome glass of champagne, the ambiance, the service was outstanding from the get go, but even better was the quality of... More
