I recently rediscovered Kensington Place and having gone for lunch and loved every mouthful, I returned with my other half for his birthday dinner. The meal was sensational for the price, quality, everything – we couldn't fault it and as at lunchtime, we enjoyed informed, delightful service that was neither intrusive nor overbearing.

In the midst of a recession, restaurant's like Kensington Place have a thing or two to teach their greedy, poor quality rivals. It is a delight to find it still producing food of the quality that helped gain it's reputation so long ago and, what's more, under new ownership – well done and we will keep coming back!
