We had delicious food, (highly recommend the slow cooked lamb and Moroccan mess for dessert). We shared several meals and that way you get to taste much more of the menu. A lovely atmosphere and the friendliest staff!

Hi there, you guys were not busy today when we dined with you, we asked for our meals to come out together, but I had mine a full 10 minutes before my Partner did very dissapointing, Also I think Salt and Pepper should be offered if you are not going to put them on the table. We did both enjoy our meals just would have been nice to eat at the same time.

Authentic food with wide variety to choose from. Very generous portions of lip smacking awesomeness. I had the pulled pork and lamb shoulder, they were simply amazing. Plenty of tap beers to choose from. Food Price is well set, the view is amazing esp in summer and very courteous service staff. Definitely coming back to further explore other delicacies.

We chose to share 3 main dishes and the food was delicious! However the service over the lunch period was slow and after finishing our mains we didn't see a waiter for 30 minutes as we tried to order desserts. Food scores 5 Service scores 3

Metered parking required coins only - bar staff refused to help. However our waiter resolved the problem. Numerous drink orders were incorrect and main food servings were a little on the small side. Waiter couldn't have been more helpful - he saved the evening - otherwise may not have stayed.

The ambiance and view is amazing, the menu simple to understand and the ordering quick. Food arrived quickly and was very good, there was not a disappointing dish! however the service of our table was a bit of a let down, not enough to stop us coming back, but a glitch in a perfect evening

Amazing food! Expect Turkish/Middle Eastern/Greek inspired food. Good service. Relaxed atmosphere. Make sure to make a reservation. You can probably get away with no reservations if you're just a couple of people on a weeknight.

We love Mr Lawrence at the London, and we're lucky to live locally. The food is very authentic and reminds us of holidays in Turkey! We love the specials board, and there's always something new to try - and it's always great! Would recommend this is a good place for an informal meal.

We enjoyed a great family dinner together at Mr Lawrence recently. There's a great range on the menu with added daily specials to choose from. Service was quick and very attentive (a bit overly so at times). Loved the cauliflower fritters and pizza the best.

The atmosphere is good, the food and wine was great, one waitress was very friendly and helpful the other had a couldn't care less attitude. When I'm trying to bring my work collegues to a new venue which was great last week, I need upbeat service with a happiness attitude, so I can bring them back. Thanks

Great food, friendly service. I wondered, though, why we couldn't book an outside table and had to hope that one was free, given we did have a reservation. But - a small point in an overwhelming pleasant experience. We'll be back!

Waiter was a bit over the top. Too bad at socialising with us instead of listening to our orders. Meals were incorrect & some didn't arrive. He was apologetic & they gave us a complimentary bottle of wine!!!

Mr Lawrence is always a great night the atmosphere, the buzz, great service and the food is superb just when you think that's it with a good meal the temptation to eat their amazing desserts is just too much to deny.

Fantastic food, simple clean venue, pleased to be in the quieter room with air-con as the main bar and dining room was very noisy and hot. Didn't get any useful advice when selecting our wine, but very happy with the selection and pricing. Food was delicious and filling.

A busy Saturday night - friendly ambiance and enough space not to feel too crowded. Interesting menu with plenty of new tastes to try. Recommend sharing plates of different goodies rather than going for individual starters/mains.
