Coqbull Soho

Visited here for a weekday evening meal as a group of twelve. Unfortunately we all left feeling pretty disappointed with the experience. The table was spacious given the number of us and everything seemed clean enough. Orders for drinks was taken quickly and it was nice for them to all be served to the correct people who ordered each. The food menu isn’t massive but has a good range for the type of restaurant and is easy to choose from. There seemed to be a lot of confusion when the dishes arrived though, with the waiting staff a little unsure of what some of the items were, They also arrived at varying points over a long time period, with some individuals finishing their meals before others had even been served. The raging bull burger was fine flavour wise, but no where near as spicy as the name would suggest, and it wasn’t very large. Given it was nearly twenty pounds the actual patties weren’t much meat, so fortunately they serve with two as standard. Lots of salad and a thick bun makes it very tall though, so if you prefer to eat your burger by hand you’ll need to deconstruct to make it possible! Sides of chips come as standard which is good and they were crispy how I like, which is fortunate since there was never an offer of sauces or condiments. It was also annoying that every salt grinder across the table was empty. Of course you’d usually ask a member of staff for an alternative, but once the dishes were served we never saw anyone again. No drink refills, no checking if things were okay, no clearing of plates, no offer of a desert menu. Given we were all getting rather thirsty after just the initial arrival drink we decided it would be quicker and easier to pay up and head somewhere else. Seen as we never got the chance to have more drinks or more than the main course it ended up being considerably cheaper than we’d expected. However even so it didn’t feel like good value, either for the portion sizes or the service. It’s a nice easy going place with fun decor and a good menu, but I doubt we’ll be returning any time soon.

This place was great! We chose it due to its location and its easy menu but the food was really good, the cocktails were nice and the staff were extremely attentive. Excellent service! Best onion rings in London 😉

The place has a nice atmosphere, especially their rooftop seating. I think the restaurant could gain from obtaining some higher quality ingredients as certain elements of their food took away from it having that wow factor. The staff were sweet and attentive, and they had a good drinks menu.
