The food is exceptional. The atmosphere delightful. Every mouthful was a joy.

Excellent food. Don’t fill up too much on bread as if you have the cod wing starter it’s very generous and you may regret it. We followed with a sublime steak with crispy pink fir potatoes and yummy marmite hollandaise. Powered though despite being full and loved every mouthful!

The Parakeet is a wonderful local, the room is buzzy and cool, the food excellent and staff great. This time, I had a guest with a number of food intolerances and our waiter and the chef annotated what would work and what can be altered. This resulted in a great meal for a difficult eater so thanks! We enjoyed the wine by the glass too as there was a wide range available. A great experience.

A lovely Saturday lunch with my mum today - wonderful service from the moment we arrived. Our drinks order was taken promptly and served quickly - the most important part of service in my opinion as it sets the tone for the whole meal! Food was excellent (we had the burger and the salmon) - I couldn’t fault it. So much so that’s we’ve booked a big family meal there in a month’s time. Looking forward to coming back!

A nice friendly atmosphere in a traditional venue& would recommend to small or large groups
