4 of us visited on Saturday afternoon at 1:30 we were the only table in. We ordered from the lunch menu - 2 course £13:50 or 3 course £16:95. Our waiter was really nice and friendly and patient when the others couldn't decide which wine to order. We had soup, the ham wrapped in mozerella and sardines all really lovely,... More

We visited Stock with the Travelzoo voucher and so should make the final bill more paletable than normal. It didn't start well when we were shown to our table but it wasn't ready and we were then marched back to the bar. I wasn't best pleased to be told our table was ready as we arrived at the bar I...

Visiting Stock for the second time using a Travelzoo_UK voucher and the experience was just as good if not better. A totally different menu from our previous visit saw my wife start with "Sardines so fresh they tasted like they'd been swimming 10 minutes ago" whilst I opted for Mussels which we fiddly as usual but fresh, tasty and in...

Went for a pre-theatre dinner with friends in March. Food was completely out of this world delicious,, service was excellent and as we were dining before 6.30 we got 50% off the a la carte menu which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Have been to Stock before and was completely underwhelmed and that is why I've avoided it... More

the most georgeous italian "cod and beans" dish I've ever had for a main course - but..........insalata caprese not great - i know it's difficlut to get decent tomatoes in the uk at this time of year, but these were particularly flavour-free. veggie pasta also very dull and the pasta tasted remarkeably like "tesco's value" and it was a bit...

My husband and I went to Stock for the second time having first visited about 18 months ago when we were really impressed with every aspect of the occasion. Unfortunately the standard has dropped in every area since. The food was OK but my pasta starter was bland and my duck breast main a little on the cold side although... More

We were a party of 11 celebrating the retirment of a colleague and friend. The service was slow, we were not offered bread or olives while we waited.

This was our second visit to Stock. We had had such a fab meal on the first visit but dear oh dear. What a disappointing meal in comparison. Must have a different chef. This place is expensive for what you get. We asked for bread and the (lying) waitress said they had run out and were baking some more .... More

We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the food and prosecco at our Broadway event. The Prosecco we use is of a high quality, and imported directly from Italy. Prosecco is the Italian equivalent of champagne. Please do not hesitate to give us a call on 01618396644 should you wish to discuss your complaint further. More
