Everyone loves pudding, but I love it the best. There’s nothing like a big cup of warm chocolate pudding in the morning after your eggs and bacon. No sir-ee.

Karl - I don't market myself as a critic (please see my about page) but comment on my experience of my food and hope that other people are able to make their own opinion up. Just because I failed to distinguish the nutmeg from cinnamon should not detract from the fact that this was a great pud. I am disheartened by your need to bring in a racial remark just to point out an honest mistake.

If you can’t differentiate the overwhelming scent of nutmeg from ‘cinnamon’ in the dessert forgive me by saying that i cannot take your opinion as a food critic seriously. maybe you should have stayed judging springrolls and cantonese duck in soho until you get your flavours right.

Disapointed – You’re not the first to bemoan the flaccid egg custard tart, it seems my brilliant visit was a one-off as I have heard many recent stories of how Marcus Wareing seems to be losing his touch on this excellent pudding. Hopefully he is reading this.

I tried the famous custard tart. It had an amazing texture as you put your fork into it but franky I was’nt that wowed by the taste. Each to his own I suppose.

I was slightly disappointed, given the reputation of Marcus Waring. Flavours were subtle rather than adventurous. Both the soused sardine starter and lamb main course lacked flavour, however my apple desert with toffee popcorn was top notch.
It left me wondering why I was paying double what I pay at our local restaurant, Michael Caines in Exeter where I have never had a problem with flavour.

Service, was generally good although the waiter pointed out to me that I seemed to be struggling through my wine, which was not the case.. as if trying to make me drink faster and thus order a second bottle. This is a bit of cheap trick and not worthy of a 2 star restaurant. Looking at the wine prices which were all 4 times market prices and you can see why.

Overall this restaurant takes itself too seriously. Marcus seems so obsessed with getting his 3 stars that he has forgotten his simpler roots and how to cook food that tastes great , not just looks great.

Please don’t get me wrong.. this is good food, but for the price and 2 star rating, it is not that good!
