Hush reviews
Stopped by for dinner with a colleague one weekday. Very very average food, at high prices. No wonder they have to give all these 50% off offers on toptable to draw in the crowd. We just chanced by, so we didn't get the offer. In any event, with the rude service that we experienced, we won't be going back ever again whether or not there is an offer.

We'd booked a table for 7 for a late lunch as a special treat for a friend of ours who is off travelling for 6 months. The place is expensively priced, so you expect a certain level of service and cuisine. However...
The service was appalling - it took ages to get offered even a drink, let alone order our meal. It wasn't as if it was busy that time of the afternoon on a Saturday, and there were a number of waiting staff milling around. Once the food arrived, we waited over an hour in between courses. Then - here comes the 'best' bit - the staff, some of whom were obviously coming off shift, brought their takeaways in to the seating area and sat on the raised section overlooking us whilst they munched everything from their takeaway sushi to soup! We did take this up with the waiting staff, but they were completely uninterested.
Visit again? When hell freezes over!

Service was good, but the food was average, considering the price. Shame, as I was really looking forward to it. A great outdoor dining experience though.

Too expensive for a very average meal. They also include a 'leukemia donation' to your bill without even asking you. I suppose that makes them a 'registered charity' so they pay less tax?! Very disappointing.

Food was lovely, location is fab, wine tastes good - can't complain. Had a fab day at Hush and would strongly recommend it.

Great location but food forgettable and overpriced. Have a drink but eat somewhere else!

Great service, great atmosphere. Food very good, but a little overpriced. Sticky toffee pudding was to die for.

Good venue, but the compulsory set menu for larger groups is designed with a mean budget and a good profit in mind. Food is well presented, but ultimately lacking in aroma and flavour. Sadly they're well beaten by most pubs and supermarket ready meals.
Most overpriced food I've been served, made more annoying by seeing some of the a la carte dishes served at adjacent tables.
Service? Lets just say they slopped water into our wine glasses and didn't replace them... in a word RUDE!

Great service, lovely food and we had a brilliant time. Staff very obliging. The confit of duck was melt-in-the-mouth. Fab.

Food is easily forgettable, but I go here often because it's so conveniently located. Really nice in the summer if you can get a spot outside. Don't let the staff give you a hard time.

The upstairs restaurant serves excellent French food, with an interesting wine list - which if you eat on a Monday is sold at their wine-shop prices - fantastic value.

The food in the upstairs restaurant at Hush is excellent and it's often not too difficult to book at short notice. Very good wine list too. Only eaten once downstairs and it was ok, but not outstanding.

The food here was superb, as was the design. The atmosphere and attentiveness of the staff were excellent. The desserts didn't quite match the quality of the main courses, but were nonetheless very good. All in all a fantastic option if you're not on a budget.
