In summary, this restaurant is secure. It’s solid, stable and consistent. Not bad, but far below my expectations for Heston Blumenthal. The restaurant ambiance is positively charged, a pleasurable atmosphere with the right level of ‘bustle’. The service is attentive, yet not overbearing and the waiting staff are well practiced on their menu knowledge. The starters are highly creative and delivered on every level. The main courses were somewhat of a letdown. One of our diners had the Angus beef and thrice fried chips, I’ve got to say I’ve seen and tasted better at my local pub. The deserts were generally first class if a tad uninspiring, the tipsy cake special is in particular lacklustre. The overall historical British menu theme is charming if a little predictable. In summary, Dinner by Heston is a dependable place to take your parents or favourite Aunt for lunch or dinner. Perhaps one to avoid if you’re in search of something out of the ordinary.
