good ambience - but had to be corrected on the bill regarding the fork discount, and also charged us for a drink that never arrived

Our main waiter was lovely, but the shift manager seemed overworked and a little hostile. We came for the Sunday Roast. They only have the pork left which was super fatty and a little sickening because of it. Probably wouldn’t come again.

Staff were friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was relaxed. The Bloody Mary’s were outstanding. We had the Salmon, which was delicious but the Side dish portions were very small. The side of Roast potatoes came with five halves of potatoes and the seasonal mixed veg consisted of three thin slices of parsnip and three thin slices of carrot. So disappointing. If the portions were bigger it would have been a lovely meal but unfortunately, we came away hungry.

They didn’t have our table even though we booked through the fork website. I showed her the booking and she still said that wasn’t on their system. We got forced to a bar area when there were heaps of tables around. The host didn’t seem to care. We opted to sit at The bar was was given a free drink of our choice yet we never received any service beyond that. It was hectic and there was people everywhere. There was one bar man and one host for such a busy restaurant was abysmal…. The fact they couldn’t even seat us even though I showed her my booking details through fork!!! Very sad. We were starving and didn’t get enu service. We left and went to somewhere else on bermndsey street no lease get your sh*t together. Such a disappointing day

Food was OK… wasn’t bad but I’ve had a lot better and I’m glad we wasn’t paying full price! We went for the beef Sunday roast with cauliflower cheese and an extra Yorkshire pudding. Staff are great but they don’t automatically take the 50% off so check your bill!

Food was good but portion size very small. Service was formulaic - staff obviously under pressure to maintain turnover. Told we had 3 minutes to leave!

The food was a bit hit and miss and small portions. The aubergine was nice but literally half a small aubergine for regular price of £13.50 as a 'large plate' is a bit wild. Very glad it was half price with The Fork or it wouldn't have been worth it. Lovely place though!
The Last Talisman • Owner
Hi Cassie, We appreciate your honest feedback, and won't miss to take it into consideration. We believe every customers' review matters as it is a way for us to know where there is room for improvement.

They had no food, I understand why last is on the name...
The Last Talisman • Owner
Hey! Thank you so much for your feedback! As it's stated on our website and on our menu, all our Sunday Roasts are available until it last, therefore we strongly recommend to pre-order it before your visit to ensure stock availability. After speaking with the manager, only Beef Roast was out of stock at the end of the night. Apologies for this, Team Talisman

Service was good, staff were friendly and the restaurant was pretty. Food was okay - I’d have been disappointed to have paid full price for it. Steak and calamari were chewy.

The ambience and food was good, portions coud definitely be more generous, and service could be more attentive (given the 12.5% charge for it). We had to ask our waiter for the desert menu, he then forgot about it for half an hour, so had to ask another waiter. We had the Sunday roast which was OK, nothing too exciting, but their deserts were very good, especially mango panna cota, as also recommended by other reviewers. Seating area in the cubicles could be cleaners, one has to sit on a shabby looking rug.

Service felt a bit like they wanted us to leave once we finished eating. Portions could be a bit bigger. I was still hungry after having a starter and main. Had to get them to add the Fork offer once I received the bill.
