Had a fantastic meal at this restaurant. 100% this should be a Michelin Star restaurant in my opinion having been to Michelin Star restaurants before and this is on parr if not better. Excellent food and the staff make the visit feel very personal, which is rare these days. This is a late review, but better late than never.

My wife and I celebrated our 31st wedding Anniversary at The Artillery Tower on Wed 9th September 2020. Our dining experience was exceptional, the menu had a great choice and the standard was way better than that which you get in the West end of London ( I frequently dine in London). The Head Chef ( owner) and his wife came out and chatted to us after our meal ( they did that with all the customers) which I think is the mark of a very professional business. Highly recommended.
