Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Cookham

It’s not always easy being a vegan and dining at a restaurant that doesn’t specialise but tonight I was blown away by the quality of the food which was so flavourful. There wasn’t a huge amount of choice for me but I had the Asian salad and the plant based curry and they were bursting with flavourful ingredients. It’s just an annoyance that there were so many vegetarian dishes that could have so easily be veganised. All five of us enjoyed our meals, the service was great - as always - and the cocktails were scrumptious. It is such a shame that the side of Brussels sprouts had butter on them meaning I couldn’t have them, and I absolutely love them so had to miss out for the sake of substituting cow butter with plant butter. But all in all it was a lovely night out and The Ivy put on so many speciality Christmas foods and drinks. If you’re a meat eater you will love this place as the food choices are vast.

Firstly, the food was delicious. The chef takes great care with the presentation, as well as the taste, and it felt a very special meal. The service was professional and there when needed. We really enjoyed it, and we'll return.

Lovely meal in great surroundings on the banks of the Thames. Friendly efficient and courteous service made for a great lunch experience. Fantastic food, really lovely on every level

We had an exceptional dinner experience for 2 . Very modern setting and stunning lake view. Service attentive and warm . We tried both the restaurant menus ( British & Indian) and all dishes were superb - to start we tried the cured ham hock and pistachio roulade, and the Tandoori murg tikka. Both dishes were fresh and very flavourful and delicious. Main courses we tried the chargrilled Sirloin steak with bernaise and delicious hand cut truffle chips, and the bhuna gosht slow cooked lamb with spices - fabulous and just the right level of spice. The Bitter Chocolate tart with caramel ice cream, and the passion fruit cheesecake were the perfect sweet end to the meal. Highly recommend and will definitely visit Glaze Restaurant again.
