Truly an exquisite meal from start to finish, to celebrate the end of our honeymoon. Service was fantastic, with staff skilfully providing background, insight and detail into each of the seven courses we enjoyed. The wine pairings complemented the individual plates to a T. My personal favourite was the Cornish cod - delightfully autumnal and just warming enough to prelude the next course with a smooth ease into the depth and richness of the beef shin sirloin. We greatly savoured the fresh and light hues in our halibut starter as well. At the close of the meal, the ampersand buttermilk mousse took us on a culinary escape to a bright, sunny meadow. In regards to the technicality of the meal, portion sizes were perfectly thought-through, and each course was a logical step through the next aromatic, layered experience of the palate. The venue was thoroughly COVID-secure, whilst not comprising the welcoming nature of the service team and comfortable atmosphere. My partner and I agreed that the seven course offering and associated wine pairings from Purslane comprised the single best meal we've ever had. (Photos demonstrate just a few of the immaculately-plated courses.)

We had a very enjoyable meal at purslane. The 5 course tasting menu was superb, and well introduced and presented. Wine pairing to match were a treat too! Would have liked the 7 course menu but I can understand the need to turn customers over to stay in business. Slightly disappointed by the attention to detail, especially in a restaurant that charges a price point at which you would expect perfection. The interior decor was a little shabby in places, cutlery was handed to us in a cloth bag (seems unnecessary even with covid), and the halibut dish was slightly over salted. This did not distract from the fact we had a wonderful meal and I'm sure we'll be back in the future.

Exceptional food from the first mouthful to the last and as beautiful to look at as anything we've had anywhere. We had a wonderful meal at Purslane with our 7 year old daughter. All three of us enjoyed every morsel. The standouts for us were anything with crab in it, from the little cannoli to the crab with buttermilk to the crab stuffed courgette flower that accompanies the lemon sole. And the desserts.. Wow! Oh, and the bread, and, and, and! The only thing we wished was that the main course in the taster menu was a fish dish rather than the lamb. Not that the lamb wasn't great, it's just well... the fish was all so wonderful we wanted more of it.

We had a great meal at Purslane. The food was excellent and very inventive. I would highly recommend the scallops which were fantastic! The restaurant has been set up with very smart screens between tables to allow diners to feel safe but maintain a decent amount of tables. We were very impressed by how the staff adapted to the new environment and all the precautions they took!

Amazing, try the tasting menu, you will not be disappointed. The waiting staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. Looking forward to a return visit in the near future.
