A beautiful restaurant with great services. The food was good too. We booked on first table so it was great value for us. The indoor area is very cool despite it being a sunny day during summer, because all the windows are essentially doors that can be opened to the full.
The restaurant was fancy and nice! Even the food, eyefillet, was perfect! It was tender and juicy but ravioli was a little salty for me. I wish they had a non-alcohol drinks menu as well.
Held an event last week at Pilkingtons and can't rave about it enough! Gorgeous venue and atmosphere with an inside area & the outside terrace exclusive for our use. Food was delicious and Bonsay, the duty manager, was outstanding, as were all of the serving staff. Highly recommend the gin tree! A really great evening, thank you Vanessa!
The service, food and drinks we ended up ordering were expensive but decent in flavor and excellent in presentation. However, not only was the restaurant so rowdy that we couldn't hear each other or our waitress at all, but the items we initially wanted were also not available despite the fact that we visited early in the afternoon. Pilkingtons offers a chaotic dining experience in which you will be constantly talking over others whilst your wallet becomes anorexic.
Finally got around to dining at Pilkingtons through first table! It was a great experience honestly. The vibes were immaculate, the waiter and waitress were very helpful and friendly too. The focaccia bread is a must! 10/10 Lamb skewers - 9/10 , definitely a must. Only a 9 because there should’ve been more! Haha. Fried crumbed spinach gnocchi - 9/10 as well, would get again and would definitely recommend. The braised lamb ragu - 5/10. This was a slightly disappointing dish in all honesty, hence why the 4/5 overall. It just lacked flavour and seemed liked corned mutton with cheese and pasta bits. Overall, I would go back to Pilkingtons for drinks and other bites to try! :)
Went for some dinner with some friends and it was quite a lovely experience. The staff were accommodating, food is a bit pricey and according to my friends could have more flavour. Drinks were amazing and would come again! Atmosphere was very nice as well!
Great location, lovely ambiance and good service! I'd recommend doing three courses if you're feeling quite hungry or adding side dishes to go with your main. It doesn't look like they do dessert anymore (I couldn't find the menu online). They started bottomless lunch this year in winter and it was really great...perhaps maybe too great! Had dinner with a friend here on another night and the burger and chicken tasted good. Sitting outside can be a tad chilly so just be prepared and have something warm just in case. Sitting outside is a good vibe though so do it if you can get a table!
