We have been here quite a few times, but last Saturday our friends were looking for a cheapie for their Anniversary, so I suggested Little Bay, so they booked. On the Saturday morning, we telephoned them to see if we could pay for a bottle of wine to be put on their table for their arrival. They could not have been more helpful, even down to putting a little note with it. Our friends had a wonderful time & really enjoyed the opera singer.

So thank you, guys at Little Bay & well done for making their evening so special.

Have been to this place about 5 or 6 times now, and it NEVER disappoints!

Food, service and decor are all wonderful.

Last nght tried, for the first time, the profiteroles: so absolutely delicious. Never tasted profiteroles like it.

Try this place, not only is it great value for money, but the food is outstanding!

Been going to Little Bay for years - was a regular in Battersea until the awful fire that closed it down a couple of years back - but Peter maintains that he intends to re-open soon. Get a move on Peter!

Also been to this restaurant at Farringdon which is every bit as good - both in quality of food, service and price as the Battersea branch. Great brasserie food served in a very pleasant, if highly-over-the-top theatrical setting - but I challenge anybody to try and beat the value you get at Little Bay - and it was great to see some of the Battersea staff re-deployed here.

Only ever disappointment for us was the Kilburn branch - food not such a great experience and the bad news is that they don't take credit or debit cards, which is crazy seeing as the other locations do - even worse when they don't tell you in advance when you book and you have to leave you partner as a hostage at the end of your meal while you troll the streets looking for a cash machine - Peter - you need to sort this out!

Mind bogglingly cheap what with the sale so thought I would give it a go. Obviously the quality isn't great but I was perfectly happy with the mussels (cooked adequately, fairly plump in size) followed by plaice in cream and wine with spinach. Due to the low prices I treated myself to a cocktail which they alleged contained 2 shots of alcohol but was unlikely to have been more than one. Still tasted pleasant and not too sweet. Atmosphere was busy and decor is pretty hideous, evoking an am dram props department on a serious time constraint, but nevertheless worth a stop for a very cheap 2 courses which was more enjoyable than I expected.

Went here on Saturday night on their fantastic half price deal.

We had a lovely evening & the opera singer just topped it off.

They deserve to do well. Will definitely be returning.

Little Bay Farringdon is really special and it made my day when I found it. The service is great, the food is better but the price is the best! I can't wait to go back!

Little Bay Farringdon is just the greatest restaurant in London. No fuss, no rules. Just great service and great food. Especially the profiteroles!!! When you eat the profiteroles, it is like your body just melts and you must can't help yourself. It is gorgeous!! GO NOW!

Was very dissapointed with this restaurant. We were placed up these stairs on a table next to the front door which looked like it had been made on Blue Peter. I felt very uneasy sitting up there but thought as the staff were pleasant and the restaurant was busy the food must be good.

Wrong!

I ordered potato skins for starter and main a chicken pasta. Both were warm, if that and tasted of nothing. I thought the restaurant was european but the menu was quite confused. I seriously think that they put on the menu whatever they feel like cooking that day. It wasnt expensive but i wish i had gone somewhere else and actually had something enjoyable to eat.
