Tredwell’s

The décor and atmosphere in here is absolutely spot on. I had a wonderful crab and apple starter — one of the best staters I’ve ever had. Main was disappointingly /​over seasoned. It was a roast beef salad but I reality it was beef carpaccio. Friends monkfish was ok but a little bland.

With one of my favourite Unilocal friends Rachel Z in town, I was looking for some great dining out but the period between Christmas and New Year is always a bit tricky as many top restaurants give their staff done time off at this time of year
So, I was happy to find that Tredwell’s was open. 2 Michelin starred Marcus Wareing has put his name to it. It has garnered awards including the AA restaurant of the year and the menu looked good. However, fellow Unilocalers had given it a very ordinary 3 stars, so who would be proven right
The ambiance of the dining room was traditional — dark panelled. Service was friendly but haphazard — I’ve of our main courses was wrong and we had to wait 10 minutes for that dish to arrive after the others as a result. The waiter dealing with our card payment also put the entire bill onto one card despite us telling him the exact split amount to put on the card
The food varied between meh and nice. Most disappointing was ‘buttermilk fried chicken’. I know and love buttermilk fried chicken and if it arrives with no crunchy coating, that’s not buttermilk fried chicken. The best dish was my fall off the bone short rib of beef but another annoying thing is when restaurants serve no sides with main courses and the sides are small for £4
Sorry, Rachel Z but I should have listened more to my fellow Unilocalers. A disappointing 3 stars

We enjoyed a very high quality food and service celebrating my friend’s MBA, with a good deal. Nocellara del Belice olives, harissa glazed aubergine, peanuts, coriander and chilli, corn fed chicken, leg croquette, sprouts, trompettes, tarragon

Came here tonight. On dear. I know it was a Monday night but four tables were taken the whole time we were there. Consequently the staff were completely over the top attentive. You put down your fork and they were at your side to pick up your plate. They constantly interrupted our conversation to move us on to the next course. I felt quite hustled. But it’s not their fault; they were bored. In the end I had to tell them to leave us alone.
No punters = no atmosphere. I wanted to ignore all the negative feedback in the reviews because it’s Marcus Wareing at a price you can afford, right? I don’t need to take out a second mortgage for this. Well the food was lovely. I had the goats cheese and beetroot salad to start which was tasty although meagre. Then I had the burger which was absolutely delicious. The chips with hollandaise were lovely but you couldn’t shake the servers! They were friendly and helpful but uncomfortably at your shoulder. I’m not coming here again, sadly, and weirdly it’s all down to the service.

Overall, a great option in the west end.
Pros: Good pricing, nice décor, good food with a menu that is very friendly to people with allergies /​vegetarians.
Cons: Super pushy service. Seriously the wait staff were to the point of badgering us. I get that you gotta turn tables in the west end but it got to the point of being very uncomfortable. Also they claimed live jazz on saturday nights. did not happen.

My bf and I fell upon Tredwells while we were at Xmas shopping event in seven dials last year
It’s been on my list to try for ages (and I still need to go back for a proper sit down meal) however we were a bit peckish while shopping and walked past it (wasn’t really sure on exact location before then) and they were giving out free mince pies and bellini’s as part of the Xmas shopping event. After testing the pies and drink (both made on site and pretty tasty) and looking at their menu, we decided to go in and get a few of their smaller dishes — we’d already spent too much and werent hungry enough for a whole meal!
We were seated at the bar and served straight away! We had to send them away twice as they were so keen (I’m also quite slow at ordering). In the end we picked 3: pork sliders, chorizo jam with charred bread & battered courgettes! They were all good but the one that stood out for me was their chorizo jam! I also splashed out and got a £9 cocktail. I chose the GUNPOWDER GIMLET which was Gin, cardamom, green tea, lime. It was really good! Think bf got a beer: s
Finally I think we both got a pudding. I had a ginger cake which was nice but nothing amazing. Can’t remember what bf had but think it was ok but nothing special!
Overall nice place, quite dark inside but friendly staff and good menu choice. Looking forward to going back for a proper dinner!

We decided to go in for an early supper on a Sunday night which meant it was fairly empty. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and tried their best to accommodate us.
Food was really good — portion sizes are not large but you’d expect it from an upmarket restaurant like this.

La devanture de ce restaurant nous a fait craquer ! Dès l’entrée, on est accueillis par une hôtesse qui prend notre réservation. Le restaurant est plein à craquer mais on nous fait attendre au bar, accompagnés de deux bières fraiches. Lumière tamisée, décoration classe et épurée, personnel bienveillant: c’est un endroit où l’on se sent bien malgré un assez fort bruit ambiant.
Verdict au niveau des plats? Bons, mais assez chers pour une quantité assez minimaliste.

When I came here I had no idea Tredwell’s was a Marcus Wareing restaurant, which is probably a good thing as my expectations would have been much higher.
Came here with a group of friends for dinner, due to bring mid week we all arrived in dribs and drabs, which can make it difficult to get everyone ready to order in a timely manner. We started with an order of drinks and starters. We opted to share a selection of the snacks. We were all hungry so these went down well. The pulled pork slider is tiny and we only ordered 3 so it was a mouthful each, to be fair the waiter warned us they were small but we didn’t feel like spending £18 on snacks. The wings are good.
Once we finished our snacks and drinks we struggled to get attention to order mains and more drinks. The restaurant was incredibly warm so if the staff had been more on the ball they could have got loads of drinks orders out of us. One of us had been the week before and said the service was excellent and couldn’t understand how it could so bad a week later.
For main I had the confit duck with cabbage with a side of mash. I get a little annoyed when I have to order sides with my main to complete the dish, plus the mash arrived in jar. What’s wrong with a small bowl? Also there wasn’t enough gravy, but I couldn’t be bothered I ask for more. A couple ordered the smoked haddock gratin. It smelled amazing. There were sweet potato fries and kale slaw. But again the dishes arrived in fiddly little pots and dishes which made eating awkward.
We sat for quite a while before our plates were cleared. I think if we hadn’t been left for so long a few of us would have had dessert and coffee. But we were hot and just wanted to pay up and leave.
If there service hadn’t been so bad I would have given 3 stars.

This restaurant is located conveniently in Covent Garden. The entrance itself is another story because you could miss it.
We went here on a Sunday for the roast for 6 people. The sharing roast for two was good and the portion size was good for a couple to share. The risotto and polenta fries were good to share with our group.
Only downside of the experience was that the waitstaff seemed to be really busy. They didn’t ask if we wanted more water or drinks, when they came by to take away the empty glasses. That’s the only negative point, the waitstaff overall were really friendly the rest of the time.

I thought this place was better than a lot of reviews out there.
The menu is divided between sharing and main dishes and by categories/​types of meat.
The dishes were fresh with interesting flavours– often with an Asian twist eg kimchi mayo. Some highlights were: slow cooked salmon, chargrilled chicken with peanut butter sauce and lamb chops.
Probably won’t be rushing back but it wasn’t a bad experience for a first time visit.

Other reviewers have slated this restaurant, but we thought we would try it out. We were seated fast and helpfully.
The first sign of trouble was a waiter who didn’t understand our request to find out what the specials were. We had to repeat our order multiple times to get it right.
Our cocktails came and they were super sugary. We ordered four starters. The slider was tiny but delicious. The charcuterie was appalling and tasted of bland beetroot. The prawn dish looked bountiful, but had 4 tiny prawns and lots of deep fried onions and potato. The chicken wings were tiny and really salty.
We cancelled our mains and left — the bill alone for a few starters and cocktails coming to £50. Nice venue, but food is expensive and miserly, and service was — on this occasion — poor.
