The Best Calls

Every restaurant reveals its personality in 15 seconds on the phone. The queue is not a problem. The queue is the review.

We are happy to get you in and get you a little perch and get you a glass of wine while you wait for a table.
Noble Rot, Bloomsbury Warm Welcome 15 min wait
It looks like there might be a bit of space on the bar counter, but we're gonna be really busy in about forty-five minutes.
Ducksoup, Soho Chatty 0 min wait
The pub is full of drinkers, and the dining room is full from seven o'clock, so it's gonna be a bit tight.
The Marksman, Hackney No Nonsense Fully booked
You no need to pay this hour if you want to come. It's tonight, the party.
The Paradise, Kensal Green Chatty 0 min wait
Just run that way on the left. Yeah? Turn to the left over here. Yeah. Downstairs.
Tayyabs, Whitechapel Confused Giving directions to our AI
We welcome walk-ins with open arms, so pop along and we'll get you seated as soon as we can.
Caravan, Clerkenwell Warm Welcome Walk-ins welcome
We do try to accommodate walk-ins, but during busy times like Saturday it can be quite a wait.
Hawksmoor, Covent Garden No Nonsense Saturday warning
The restaurant is closed right now, sir. We open at six PM.
The River Cafe, Hammersmith No Nonsense Called at 1pm, learned our lesson
I don't have any space at all tonight, unfortunately.
