Square Meal Review of Peyton & Byrne at the The Royal Academy of Arts ?

Peyton & Byrne’s ever-growing list of nostalgic canteens, bakeries & restaurants have found their way into some of the proudest cultural institutions in the land from the Royal Academy & the National Gallery to the British Library – not to mention Heal’s department store. All have two things in common: easy-on-the-eye good looks & a passion for British produce (even when the concept itself is anything but patriotic). Sustaining breakfasts get the early birds going, while gourmet ‘fairy cakes’, pies, savouries & thick-cut sandwiches comprise the bulk of the group’s all-day menus, with home-baked fig tarts, treacle loaves, Scotch eggs & sausage rolls all tempting visitors away from their shopping, their books & their guided tours.

    Really really disappointing. Total shambles of a restaurant, which is unforgiveable from an experienced restauranteur like Oliver Peyton. The complete lack of professionalism was staggering – from the clueless waiters, to the poor quality food and the serving of our dishes in a completely uncoordinated manner. The order was messed up, the starters did not all come together – in fact we had to wait 20 minutes between the first and last one! It was a full 1hr and 30 mins we got our main courses and the restaurant was less than half full. The langoustine starter was dreadful – tasteless and paltry. The maitre d' capped it all by trying to fob me off with some unconvincing excuse about a power cut in the kitchen – I thought it was a blatant lie from a man who clearly was out of his depth in running a restaurant. The whole thing was very amateur which is inexcusable at over £60 per head. On the plus side, the new decor is lovely, but they need to take the running of the restaurant a lot more seriously.
