Bradleys - Camden

We celebrated my husband 's birthday here and the evening was a great success. The food was delicious and each table was served together, the service was excellent, the care taken with 'fussy eaters ' was exemplary and it was a 5-star experience. This was confirmed by all our friends the following day. Simon the owner could not have been more helpful and more professional.

The restaurant is perfectly situated within a few yards of the Hampstead Theatre and the clientele, like us, were mostly going there. The early meal was served efficiently without the usual panic of having to rush the last course.. The choice of food was interesting and we both enjoyed the food that we ordered. Certainly somewhere that warrants a return visit.

Enjoyed an excellent pre theatre meal. The set menu food was very good and between us we had both the starters and mains butternut squash soup and gravlax with beetroot followed by rump of lamb and hake.All the dishes were well prepared and presented. To accompany our food we enjoyed a very good French Pinot Noir. My only gripe was that for reasons that escaped me the head waiter would not serve me any bread until we had ordered notwithstanding that my guest arrived late and I had already ordered and was drinking our wine!

Very convenient to the Hampstead Theatre but because of roadworks we were 20 minutes late for our reservation. They were not too happy about that and were not very welcoming. The food was tasty and nicely served but the waiter had a bad cold and kept blowing his nose between servings. Wouldn't really recommend unless you really needed a pre-theatre dinner very close to the theatre.

We’ve been dining here for decades. It’s always been an excellent, well priced neighbourhood restaurant with good food and excellent abstract artwork on the walls apparently made by the owner . What’s changed? We’ve been twice this year, in February and November. The food and value are the same but the atmosphere is …toxic. The waiting staff are rushed, rude and frankly out of control. Any semblance of the happy environment conducive to an enjoyable meal experience is completely absent. From having to beg the waiting staff to switch of the max air conditioning on a cold February night because ‘we’re hot from rushing around’ to being attacked for arriving 15 minutes late ‘you should have been here at 1730. Its 1745. We’ve cancelled your reservation’ it’s all…hostile. I’m not sure that the Bradley’s are ever in the restaurant. . Perhaps the owners will read this and consider improving the service team? I hope so.
