hometipple

Went last night for the Marie Mitchell residency and thought it was fantastic. Never been to Hometipple before but a relaxed vibe. Our server was really friendly but gave us space too. We were a group of 6 and basically ordered 1 of eacg small, large, side and dessert (couple were doubled up). Thought the prices and portions were good value and most importantly, the food was delicious. That mackerel! Would definitely recommend. Will return for the next menu change! Wine also very nice!

Good service and also service that lets you get on with the meal and this creates a nice flow to the occasion. And good choice of music as well. Food was lovely, all ingredients seemed very fresh and a lot of thought was put into the flavours and textures. The Malfatti was amazing, rich, tasty sauce with fresh peas that complimented it well. Marinated trout, tomatoes with goats cheese and the cuttle fish were also outstanding. The cuttle fish broth was incredible!

A lovely bar and restaurant in Walthamstow, with a regularly changing series of kitchen residencies from great chefs. The place is like a tardis - from the outside it looks like a wine shop (which it is), but once you get beyond the counter it opens out into a beautiful restaurant, with lots of natural light. The current menu - by chef Marie Mitchell - is excellent. The fish dishes are particularly good!

Came here for a sunday roast, and everything was amazing. The heirloom tomato starter was so tasty, and we loved the cheese plate too. And you must order the warm bread with butter! We had a beef roast and the pork belly with a side of cauliflower cheese to share and both were incredible. The best roasts we've ever had. The basque cheesecake was the perfect dessert too. Billy is an amazing chef, will be looking out for his next residency. We'll be back!

Took a friend to enjoy Marie Mitchell’s residency on a Tuesday evening and it was excellent. Lovely food and attentive FoH.

It was largely empty. Had their Sunday roast pork which is 2/10 but the service was the worst, waitress was rude, main food took an hour to come out. I guess that’s why it was largely empty. Would not recommend.

Absolutely perfect dinner and environment. Staff all incredibly knowledgeable the perfect balance of attentiveness and keeping a low profile. And the food! Billy Fisher has created a delicious menu full on invention, and this was the best meal I’ve had in a very long time. I ate vegetarian all night and the rich and diverse flavours kept coming and delighting right through. Very highly recommended.

Used to be a wine shop, but now they have added seating and a kitchen for a restaurant as well. The restaurant and wine shop areas overlap, so there's a chance you'll be eating while people browse the wine next to you. Food is really great tasting. Based on the menu, it seems like they might be trying to get a different "chef residency" every once in a while. Service is ok. The staff is trying at least. The menu has specific wine recommendations for each course, but they don't make an effort to bring the wine and the food at the same time. While I was there, the back door to patio area was left open a few times. This was on a cold, December night and made it uncomfortable until we asked for the door to be closed.
