Now walk-ins only for Brunch, with Dinner bookings from 5pm & all day Sunday

Evelyn’s is an easy-going local restaurant serving brunch classics by day and refined, small plates by night. With the kitchen centred around a charcoal Inka grill, live fire cooking adds personality to the dishes, taking inspiration from Levantine and Pan-asian favourites. A go-to for the local neighbourhood and travellers alike, the food is seasonal and humble while the intimate setting ensures that the focus is on the food and experience. Evelyn’s accepts bookings for Dinner (from 17:00) and all day Sunday (full roast menu), with Brunch operating on a walk-in basis.

Below Evelyn’s, The Daisy is a Parisian Pigalle-inspired bar with local resident DJs playing every weekend. Enjoy 20% off your bill pre- or post-dinner when you show your reservation. Expect late-night escapism with a plush, loft party energy and a refined drinks menu. The Daisy welcomes walk-ins, but booking is highly recommended.

    Delicious dinner menu, plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options. Everything we tried was super yummy and all the staff were lovely. The kitchen was slightly slow, but we were in no rush so we weren't bothered about it, but maybe take it into consideration if you have somewhere to be. Lovely ambiance, food, drinks & staff. Will definitely go back.

    We went here for a roast dinner. Staff were friendly but to be honest the roast wasn’t the best I’ve had. The roast potatoes were hard and very bland, the kale / cabbage was extremely peppery. Beef was nice but not a lot of it. Yorkshire was good so was gravy.

    Usually here during the week as a walk in and it’s great food. Sunday dinner was a little lacking. Too much gravy and very minimal accompaniments to the beef. The Sunday dinner let it down massively.

    Incredible as always. The vegan food is top tier and it’s not even a vegan restaurant.

    As a group of 5 people for dinner, we ordered 2-3 dishes each. Some of them were lovely (Sumac Chicken) but some were very average (Cheeseburger). I understand the whole ‘the food will come out when it’s ready’ thing, but 4 of the 5 had received and eaten all of their dishes before a very poor cheeseburger and fries came out - and to make it worse it wasn’t even hot. Then after that a Caesar salad (which surely must be the quickest/easiest thing to make!) and the place was, at best a 1/3rd full. I didn’t want to make a fuss as it was my daughter’s choice for her birthday. Very disappointed in the food, so won’t be going back, as for £230 for the meal/drinks it’s fair to say, it’s reasonable to expect an excellent meal.

    Great food, with excellent flavours (including gluten-free options that were numerous) and really helpful service.
