Food fiend's review of Black & Blue Kensington Church Street

I was actually pleasantly surprised with Black & Blue – we managed to get a table on a Saturday night but ive been nearby before and seen many waiting. Food was lovely and good value for money. My friend and i shared a beef main, which came with two sides of fries and a huge bowl of salad. Beef was more on the rare side but you could have asked for it to be cooked more if required.

The overall atmosphere is a very cool posh old diner type place – a good date spot or a carnivorous feast with friends. The bill came to £52 for the shared main, one glass of wine and two puddings – which i felt was a really good deal. You definitely dont feel hard done by with the portions and its certainly somewhere where id go back as a good alternative to all the posh places nearby – sometimes all you want is a decent steak and i think this is the place to beat.
