Tried their lunch set today.
The dish is well crafted. Taste good. The missing stars is for the 1)dessert part and 2) beef tartare
3) the leek in salmon dish
The soufle is quite disappointed because i tried better one in malaysia, in a souffle specialty cafe. And the cheese set, you dont need it because the 3 course is quite full. I ordered Without wine pairing. 2pax with 1pound voluntary donation, the bill is 127pound for 2 (1 3 course and 1 3course lunch with cheese)
Beef tartare, i tried better one in gordon ramsays restaurant. The butter doesnt match well to the vege sandwich and it feels abit oily
The leek is ordinary, no wow factor

Wonderful dining experience staff very attentive and extremely knowledgeable. The food presentation was only surpassed by the various flavours and taste of the dishes presented. Despite a full Restaurant Tom the owner took the time to speak to his diners. To cap it all a visit to the kitchen to observe the goings-on that produces the fine dining experience. Also a mention for Chris who made this possible
What an absolute treat this was. The Kitchin has been on our list for years, and I'm so happy to say that it did not disappoint! The food was wonderful, as expected, they were able to create an incredible tasting menu for 3 separate dietary requirements, and we all loved it.
The wine pairings were innovative and interesting, AND they had a full list of non-alcoholic wines to my sober friend's delight.
The hospitality, though, was where it all came through. The service was just immaculate, so friendly and considerate. Tom (the man himself) could clearly tell how excited we were to be there and invited us into the kitchen for a drink, which really was such a highlight of my culinary exploits.
We loved every minute of our time here from when we were led to our table through the beautiful, rustic and moody decor, to them having a cab on speed dial for when it was time to leave.

What a delight !!! Superb service, attentive ,ever knowledgeable, polite and professional. The food was exquisite, we had the surprise tasting menu with wine pairings. Stand out dishes were John Dory , scallops and the duck … oh and the tomato consommé and the pork cheek and the soufflé …and finally a visit from Tom Kitchin to every table sets the pattern for an amazing unforgettable night experience.
Unique experience at this venue. Everything was carefully crafted and combination of the flavors were great. Very cozy ambience and reminded me of some Nordic restaurants I like. the service was a bit slow side but I just had bad luck at this place at the time. I might try and see how it is next time.
What a great visit, great welcome and service throughout was exemplary, especially from the maitre d. We were also lucky as Tom Kitchin was there on the day and came out to say hello and gave me a signed birthday card
Onto the food, it was exceptional with great depth of taste and beautiful presentation. I loved the cod starter and my partner thought her beef main was great and her strawberry dessert was exceptional "the most incredibly sweet strawberries she had ever eaten".
All in all, it was a fabulous visit, superb food, wonderful service and super relaxed atmosphere. We could not believe we were there for 2.5 hours and the time flew by.
Oh and the final hurrah, a tiny birthday cake arrived and made the day complete.
For that feeling of being special, please visit The Kitchin, Tom and his team will make you feel very relaxed and super special.

8.5/10. Had their surprise tasting menu. Flawless service and great food, despite the creamy, rich sauces being a little bit too repetitive. Be prepared to get really full though. Wish I could give five stars but really a bit more variation of flavors will do them good.
