Drayton Park in Islington

We loved Westerns Laundry - the service is excellent, staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable when it comes to their daily changing menus and wine selection. Our waiter was very well informed on gluten free options as well. The food was delicious and the ambiance is perfect for a date or small gathering. Would definitely go back!

My god this was good foodThis was the first time l've been to one of the jolene/primeur/ westerns laundry restaurants, and it blew us away. Such a cosy little building tooStarted with crispy little Pollock beignets with some of the most delicious aioli I've experiencedSuper soft roast carrots with sheep's curd. Basically light whipped feta. Salt, fatty, tasty, good The softest piece of cod I've ever eaten, coated in brown butter with capers and perfectly cooked pink fir potatoesThen one of the strangest dishes I've had, in the best way. Cuttlefish fideo pasta with a massive dollop of ailo. Rich, creamy pasta with tender little cuttlefish tentacles on topFinished with a whole rabbit leg that fell off the bone, on pomme puree, topped with girolles, bacon, and load of mustard. The potato was 50% butter, the way it should be. We originally ordered the cod roe dish, but just after we ordered, the onglet ran out and they replaced it with the rabbit leg, so grabbed a man and changed it to this, very glad didHighly recommended

We had the most magical, wonderful, delicious meal at Westerns Laundry. The food was to die for, the lighting/atmosphere/noise levels were all spot on, and the service was impeccable.I'd like to give an extra special shout out to bossman/sommelier/wine enthusiast Zander, who gave us some fantastic recommendations for wine pairings and was just generally a lovely person to chat to in between courses. Thank you for making our night so special!

The decor is sightly, and the staff friendly enough.The noise was overpowering. I struggled to have a conversation with my girlfriend, sat next to me - this is probably due to the amount of people in the room, on shared tables.The food was nice, albeit horrifically overpriced, and whilst the sharing menu is a good opportunity to try some different dishes, some of them were barely a mouthful, whilst others I didn't think were worth trying. I could have easily doubled up on the food I ordered, but on this occasion I wanted to go somewhere quieter.There was nothing dramatically wrong with the experience, but on paying the bill, I don't think £150 is a strong reflection of how much I enjoyed eating here.The menu changes daily, they have a good wine selection and the waitress serving us was impeccable, though I understand it's difficult to check on tables in time, or deliver good service in general, at busy times.

One of my favourite local places. The team are always very warm and welcoming. A daily changing menu with a seafood focus and great wine selection.

- poor value for money. The most money i've spent in london for not very much- poor & confusing customer service - likely exacerbated if you're not white...- Only seats available outside - sat and asked for the menu - they told me i needed to get up and take a picture of poorly written words on the board that's deep on the inside the restaurant (instead of bringing a menu to the customer that you are overcharging)- 30 mins later - a group sat next to me, and the all of a sudden were able to bring out a written menu to the next table....why the double standard?- staff way too snobby for a restaurant with such poor decor and customer service.- be better.

Lovely place in a residential street. Lovely menu. Makes you want to try all the dishes. Is it worth paying the biggest amount I ever paid in London? Nope

We were sat on a table with a couple who seemed blissfully unaware that they were in a public place and were all over each other and although that's not the restaurants fault, it could have been a bit less awkward if the table set up was different.The food was fine, some dishes were quite good but overall I don't think it's worth the price and it very much comes across as having a bit of a cult following based on the customers filling the place at the time we were there. I will say though that the setting is unassuming and the decor and lighting is perfect.

First of all, booked a table for two via open table, marked birthday celebration. However, when we got there, most of the tables are basically on sharing basis and tables are quite full…Our table was split in 4 sides, it was a bit awkward to be honest.. Food is alright, quite interesting for the cuttle fish pasta dish. No birthday celebration was mentioned to us but I rather celebrate elsewhere so ended up not raising this issue to the server.Guess you will need to mention this specifically to the restaurant you want a non sharing table and the additional request (such as birthday celebration) during their phone confirmation. To be fair, sharing table is not a good approach during Covid time.

This is my ideal restaurant with their daily changing menu and smaller sharing plates so that I can try more dishes 😋.Wheelchair access ♿✔️ - Converted from a launderette, it's all on one level with RADAR access toilets 👍.This place is a bit inconspicuous against the residential buildings, but it's a hidden gem. Staff are absolutely wonderful
