Square Meal Review of Dean Street Townhouse ?

Dean Street Townhouse's ‘well-padded, ribald bonhomie' generates a dawn-to-dusk momentum that keeps it bang on the money in this upbeat neighbourhood. The dandyish decor mixes studied cool with joyful irreverence (witness the lightly pornographic floral wallpaper), while the ambience is one of frantic enjoyment – gesticulations and guffaws abound as crowds throng the ‘impossibly busy' long bar and squeeze around dimly lit tables. The determinedly old-school menu demands an appetite, with hearty British flavours across the board: buttery smoked-eel kedgeree makes a ‘surprising' starter, seasonal mains run from roast cod with clams and laver bread to lamb rump and tongue with peas and broad beans, while pimped-up, school-dinner throwbacks such as spotted dick dominate desserts. High tea, afternoon tea and Sunday lunch also please at this perennially popular hangout, which fans reckon is ‘one of the best rooms in London'.

    fatmanclaphand :: Dean Street Townhouse: a good PG tip

    Afternoon Tea (I'm capping it up, because it's a thing) at Dean Street is brilliant. Everyone should try it. Think of a wintery afternoon spent near a log fire, with cakes, sandwiches, scones, jam and clotted cream. Think of the blue porcelain china, the gentle clink of cups on saucers, the steaming tea poured by the politest, more attentive waiters I think I've ever met. The service at Dean Street Townhouse was so polite and eager to please that there was even a sign on the toilet door that read "no need to watch the step". Unfortunately this didn't extend to taking our coats, which we were forced to dump unceremoniously next to our chairs. Still, I was distracted by the gorgeous dining room, already candlelit and atmospheric by 3pm on a Saturday. There were chequered tiles, patterned wallpapers and a log fire blazing away, and happy couples whispering conspiratorially...
