Tall European gentleman with spikey brownish hair and glasses is incredibly rude. He seems to be some sort of head waiter or bar man. Found his attitude a bit disrespectful as if he thinks he's better than everyone else. Needs knocking down a peg.

Went to try tasting menu for wifes birthday. Great service, very attentive but not intrusive - and the food was amazing.

Yet another amazing dining experience at Purnells. The food was exceptional, and the wine flight superb - courtesy of an extremely knowledgeable & good humoured sommelier! I highly recommend and have already booked in my next visit.

What a lovely experience. The food is amazing, so tasty and full of flavour. The staff give really great service and the sommelier introduced us to some interesting wines with the wine flight.

Everything is perfect at Purnell's. Service is friendly and professional, food is top drawer and some great wines too. Can't beat it for a special occasion.

Lovely food with just enough of an experimental twist. Great wine pairings and reasonable value for the class of dining. Chefs table area in bar at front of house, though, is a bit of an odd setting. Felt slightly tacked on, sitting seeing everyone coming and going. Would opt for main room dining next time, I think, though it was genuinely nice to have all the lovely kitchen staff explain each course.

Top restaurant. Individualistic. Will be back.

From start to finish the experience at Purnells is faultless. The staff are extremely attentive and friendly without being OTT, you are treated beautifully as soon as you step through the door. The decor is relaxed and warm but timelessly chic and the birdsong through the corridor is magical. The food is on another level, every course is packed with flavour as well as looking visually stunning and the stories that come alongside add to the experience. The tasting menu and chefs table menu are, in my opinion, very affordable for a Michelin star restaurant of this standard, and the drink selection is second to none.

Absolutely stunning! We have been lucky enough to visit a few Michelin star restaurants and this was my favourite menu by far. The front of house staff were fantastic, Adrien sat with me and went through the tasting menu to substitute dishes that weren’t appropriate as I am 20 weeks pregnant, nothing was too much trouble. My bespoke dishes were amazing. Lovely to be able to see into the kitchen and see Glynn and the team. Would definitely recommendDietary restrictions: I am pregnant and wasn’t able to have some of the courses but they made me bespoke dishes or changed the cooking to some of the other to accommodate me. I offered to have vegetarian meals if this made it easier but nothing was too much trouble. They wanted me to experience as much of the tasting menu as possible. Fantatsic service

Everything was brilliant! Nothing was too much trouble. All the team were amazing; they took the trouble even to rustle up a couple of Vanilla Margaritas which are no longer on the menu but these were delicious and the team were so accommodating at swapping out dishes. There was theatre but the flavours were also spot on. An experience from start to finish. Thank you!
