"Nobody, absolutely nobody, wants to spend their birthday showing a waiter a Powerpoint presentation entitled ‘things I don’t want on my plate’. When a picky eater needs a special occasion restaurant, Kerridge’s is always a good shout. This place serves British classics in a big classy space full of oxblood leather seating and a slightly ridiculous statue of a gold suit. Think, treat for your eyes and a treat for your friend who basically wants a nice version of the things they already know they like. And that’s exactly what Kerridge’s is about. Expect some pretty hefty price tags, but the space makes it worth the money for a big shebang." - heidi lauth beasley
