"What is it: A casual small plates restaurant serving modern European food in St James’s. Perfect For: Casual Weeknight Dinner, Catching Up With Mates, Date Night, Dinner With The Parents, Eating At The Bar, Literally Everyone When we walked into Scully we were convinced we’d stepped through some kind of tesseract. One minute we were in St James’s, in the heart of establishment London, the next, we were doing the small plates thing, sitting at casual counter seating, and wondering what they keep in all those mysterious pickle jars. We could have been in the depths of Peckham or Hackney, and it was a fantastic surprise. As was the food. We ate a spiced chickpea snack that should be served at every bar in London, a short rib croquette that we now want to get delivered to our office every day, and a fresh tomato salad served in a sauce that made us want to lick our plate clean. Verdict: We’ve put Scully on our Hit List and we’ll be coming back here with all our friends." - sam collins, oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, eileen twum
"Scully is a restaurant that does not hold back on flavour, nor unusual ingredients, and now you can bring both into your own kitchen. The St. James’s restaurant is doing three banquet boxes (beef, chicken and vegetarian) with things like beef short-rib pastrami, XO rice and desiree potatoes, or chicken marinated Malaysian curry pasta. Order from their website." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"The first time we went to Scully, our tastebuds stood to attention and everything in the world seemed just a little more exciting, and also kafir lime-filled. Then it happened the second and the third time we went, and now it can happen in your home as well. The St. James’s restaurant is selling three different six/seven plate banquets with things like masala chickpeas, roasted aubergine with sambal tumis, and beef short rib pastrami on the menu." - jake missing
"The eponymous chef-owner’s travels and family heritage inform his style of food, so his dishes feature an array of international influences. Punchy, diverse flavours give the cooking an appealing vitality and the kitchen makes good use of the shelves laden with spices, pickles, preserves and oils. The tasting menu leads the way, but there’s also a fixed price 2 or 3 course menu available Tuesday to Saturday." - Michelin Inspector
"Scully is a restaurant in St. James’s that’s making slightly bonkers food. The kind of food that walks into a room and announces itself with a foghorn whilst hitting you over the head with a giant stalk of lemongrass. It’s exciting and sometimes crazy stuff. The spiced chickpeas and charred pumpkin are some of the most memorable things we’ve eaten in a long time. Just make sure you come after dark and sit up at the counter. It’s the place to be here." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, eileen twum
