    Service was excellent. Food was terribly overpriced for what it was. Steak was a cheap cut which was too poor for a medium rare cook, meaning it was chewy. Most side elements were covered in various sauces, most of which were overseasoned and the Pana Cota reminded me of school dinners - utterly awful. The menu needs serious work with kitchen staff to focus the flavours and define the offer to customers.

    Excellent food, welcoming and attentive staff on a not so busy Friday night. It's an out of the way location, but it's worth searching out. The pork belly was great, and servings were generous.

    The Glean (Owner)

    Thank you Steve for taking the time to leave a review and so delighted that your experience with us at The Glean was good. The pork belly is one of our most popular dishes - a good choice - once again thank you for visiting The Glean and we hope to see you again. The Glean Team

    We visited after attending an exhibition at the Tate Modern. As it was a rainy midweek afternoon, it wasn't particularly busy but the service was excellent, and appropriate, not too overbearing. The food was lovely, well cooked and well presented. The cost was reasonable, I would highly recommend this as a place to eat and would be happy to go back.

    Because of the train strikes we were the only guests in the restaurant. Still the staff were very friendly without overbearing, the food was excellent as was the wine. Would definitely go back there.

    It was brilliant for our team Christmas dinner. We had the Green Room downstairs, which was perfect for 12 of us. Would definitely recommend! Food was lovely and the service was great!
