Brilliant meal! The steak tartare oysters were a stand out as were the beetroot with beans and the spring salad. And you have some great non-alcoholic options - much appreciated - keep them coming! (The chilli that reappeared in different dishes felt unnecessary and like it muted some of the nuance of other flavours.) Thanks for a lovely evening.

Always a good meal and a good atmosphere at sir Henry barkly’s. We are in the dining room and most of us had parmas - which were delicious. They were kind enough to bring out a dessert with a candle in it for my birthday too!
