  Stopped past this small restaurant in Angel on Saturday. As we didn’t book – we were seated downstairs. The upholstered chairs were stained and dirty and the table had been properly cleaned such that I could feel breadcrumbs on the table from the previous patron. The service was quick and waiters attentive. My boyfriend and I shared the octopus and squid ink risotto and the malfatti. The malfatti was the clear winner but we found both dishes lacked a bit of a punch. Overall good food but the decor let the place down. Darren Grindlay

  Managed to squeeze in a last minute booking to the tiny but tasty Oldroyd. & it was top marks all round.Crammed but cosy in an upstairs table arrangement, with excellent, friendly staff that exemplified homely but professional service. A short but sweet menu: the mushroom croquets (to start) came with a divine truffle mayonnaise that might be the closest thing to ambrosia I’ve tasted; the seaweed and cider saucisson was quality, accompanied by posh mini gherkins that were an absolute beaut. Finally overcoming a stigma towards Steak Tartare instilled by Mr Bean, I grabbed the large version of the dish – loads of food, and proper delicious, just the right level of richness.The Gambas Pil Pil (basically seafood and chorizo stew/soup) was brilliant too. Perhaps a little on the rich side, but quality prawns and a divine sauce to dip into after.(Good wine and beer too ofc) Lovely place overall, get yer bookings in and try a few of Oldroyd’s banging plates.
