Till now, best dinner in our trip. The wine was good, the tortellini was amazing. My wife's fish was tasty. Or waiter was very attentive and courteous. The sticky pudding at the end coronated the night. Everything went perfect. It is an excellent option in London. Since they have other items in the menu, we will come back for more.

As visitors from the states we were extremely impressed with our lunch and the service we received. The coffees were top quality, and I’m not comparing them to the ones we get back home (sadly, there aren’t any coffees that come close to European standards), but the ones we’ve had through our many journeys through Europe. We ordered a burger, cheese plate, spinach salad, and I had fish and chips, with the best tarter sauce I have had. We ordered two desserts: sticky toffee pudding and something our server, Parth, recommended called eton mess. Both were excellent and the eton mess was a huge hit with us. Parth gave exceptional service and was welcoming, personable, and very kind. The layout is beautiful, relaxed, with several casual areas to lounge in comfortable chairs and sofas. Great atmoshpere/experience and highly recommend!

Scoff & Banter reigns supreme! Fish & chips that scoff at competition, onion soup that'll warm your soul, and service that makes you feel like family. Plus, an ambiance that sets the perfect scene for banter and belly laughs. Don't just take my word for it, go experience it yourself!

A few footsteps away from Gloucester Road tube station, you may well stumble across the unassuming entrance to the Radisson Bleu hotel. Inside, you will find a delightful Scoff and Banter restaurant from which I can highly recommend the great value set menu, which I had booked in advance. I was warmly welcomed by Mahesh, who attended to my every need through the evening. I really appreciated his diligence and attention to detail. I enjoyed the French Onion Soup, followed by the Norwegian Cod and the Eton Mess dessert. The portions were generous, especially the dessert, unlike some other restaurants whose set menu portions leave you wanting. All in all, I enjoyed a relaxed dinner that rounded off a pretty hectic Saturday.
