What a lovely afternoon a dear friend & I had at Jamie Oliver’s-St Catherine St was today! We were warmly welcomed & shown to a very comfortable table. The menu was excellent, not huge but there were good choices for me as a vegetarian & my meat-eater friend. We went for two different “nibbles” to start off - the aged Parmesan was a sublime addition! I had the risotto & every mouthful was savoured. My friend had the game pasta dish & she loved it. We also had the hash-brown chips with truffle mayonnaise- AMAZING! The portion sizes were good so we decided against selecting any of the divine puddings. A lovely afternoon. We both would recommend Jamie Oliver’s -St Catherine’s.

A really excellent lunch (only served from 3pm ... at least on a Monday. The choice of food is modest but really interesting and tasty. Service was warm and swift. The lamb dish (Rogan Josh?) was succulent and delicious. Make sure to book.
