The Fancy Fork At Farmer J - London

The staff was wonderful, the food was delicious, and it provided a great atmosphere for enjoying a meal and drinks with a friend I hadn't seen in a while.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! The "small" portion was perfect for sharing and offered a delightful variety of flavors. The service was efficient and exceptionally friendly!

The menu is on the shorter side, but everything is prepared exceptionally well. The service was also very friendly. My only critique—something that many places struggle with—was that the whistled music was played at a volume that made it difficult to converse comfortably.

Been here for brunches before and it 's great! Sadly dinner disappointed, mainly due to the service. They did have a decent selection on the menu, the ingredients were well balanced and very tasty. But beware the small portions!! They 're meant to be sharing plates but they 're more small starters and not worth the price. I will say that the gnocchi, weirdly shaped as a triangle of goop rather than individual gnocchi, was divine. So so tasty and I wish I had more of it! Their £5 cocktail menu is also an attractive part of dining here, I recommend Ginger. For the service, I 'm torn between saying it was the individual server who brought it down or the establishment itself. When shown to our table the whole row except one corner table was occupied. I asked if we could move to the other corner table but the first excuse was: it 's reserved at the same time as your table , to which I asked if we could just switch if they 're reserved at the same time, which then came the second excuse oh but they specifically asked for a corner table . Fair enough, I 'm not rude enough to rob someone of a table they specifically asked for! However, not 10 minutes after another couple gets seated, by the same server, between our table and the reserved corner table and just hopped to the corner table without any faff. Now this is a wild discrimination by the server as he had no qualms with them taking the corner table, I don 't care about getting that table as much as I care about being lied to! Rushed us away from our table at the end as well while we were still eating since our table and the rest were being put together for a big celebration, ANOTHER Lie a new couple who walked in the door just got sat down the table next to ours. I love farmer J for their food and decor, but that server ruined our entire experience. I hope he learns from his mistakes/farmer J trains their servers on communication, or that we won 't be served by him next time we visit.

Really lovely tasty food. The beef short ribs were melt in your mouth and unctuous. Will be a regular and return here .
