Skewd Kitchen offers truly authentic Anatolian fine dining, using specialist ingredients and the most modern and inventive cooking techniques in Cockfosters. This fabulous eatery should be one of your first choices to experience the best in authentic yet modern Turkish cuisine. Skewd Kitchen is run by Executive Chef Maz Demir who won Chef of the year at the British Kebab Awards in 2017 and 2019. If I need to describe his menu, I would say it is cultivated by the cultural heritage of Anatolia.From starters; kisir salad bulgur wheat, spring onions, tomato purée, and celery mixed herbs and pomegranate molasses, delicate and tasty. From hot mezzes; Pachanga Filo pastry, filled with mixed bell peppers, Portobello mushrooms, kashar cheese, cured fine beef and parsley, on roasted red pepper sauce, beautiful textures. And Hellim, charcoal grilled Cypriot cheese with Bertha roasted plum tomatoes, we all hooked . Adana Kebab, made with vigorously seasoned, chilli-flaked hand-chopped meat enriched by the smoke that results from fat dripping onto coals snaking its way around and through. Laid tenderly on a long thin slice of lavash it is the star of our meal.What more can I say. Just go and experience the incredible food!

Based on the Trip Advisor rating we visited Melange for the first time today. There were for of us in our party, my 6 year old, me and my parents. My son ordered tomato pasta with cheese from the childrenâs menu. I ordered a fresh tuna salad, my mother ordered the ravioli and my father the fillet steak. It was busy at the time (although not at capacity) and we waited a rather long time for the food to arrive. My fatherâs meal looked good and was a standard generous portion. My mother and sonâs arrived with the smallest stater sized portions. Immediately I mentioned to the waitress that served us that my sonâs portion was really tiny. She shrugged and said âthatâs the portion we giveâ you can order another meal of the same. I told her no thank you because I didnât want to pay twice just to get a standard sized child portion and that the one provided was more akin to a 2 year old and not a 6 year old. My mother was too polite to say anything about her 3-4 pieces of ravioli until the end of the meal. We requested Parmesan (again) as it hadnât arrived. My tuna steak salad arrived with the tuna well done. I had specifically requested it pink inside. I cut into it and told the waitress it was well done. She told me that I must have requested it that way!! I assured her that I wasnât lying and backed up my my family (how horrendous) she took it away to get it replaced. I was so upset at being accused of lying and if it wasnât for us waiting for so long to get to this point, we would have left there and then. 5 mins later and with only a couple of forkfuls of my sonâs miserly meal, the Parmesan arrived. A little for my son and the waitress leaned right over my father mid meal to put some on my motherâs plate. My mother had to ask her not to lean over him but to walk to the other side of the small table. Surely this is a basic of waitressing. My tuna arrived when 2 of the 4 meals had finished. I ended up giving half of mine to my hungry little boy. Feeling so ripped off we didnât order dessert, paid our bill without the 12.5% service which was slapped on for us and left hungry. We will not return and I feel incensed enough by the experience to leave this negative review. Let me think of a positive to say... the decor was nice and the toilet was clean. Sad that the most enjoyable part of this ârestaurantâ experience was going for a wee! :-(Dear KoopyKof, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback regarding your recent experience at Melange. You chose our restaurant after reading positive reviews on Trip advisor which we are happy to hear. Our kitchen and floor staff work tirelessly to provide our customers with the best possible experience and when in return we receive positive feedback the entire team are over the moon. We serve circa 100 customers each day so naturally sometimes we do make mistakes and we are sorry to read that we failed to meet your expectations. However, from time to time we receive negative feedback which we deem unfair and we feel that regardless of our efforts we would still fail to meet the expectations of some customers. From looking at your previous reviews, 23 of the 35 posted are graded 3* and below (19 were deemed Terrible. Ouch) Surely the person cannot be that unlucky choosing the places to visit? Regarding portion size trying to balance portion size with food quality whilst at the same time offering our menu items at a price deemed reasonable by our customers is a challenge. What we do not want to do is sacrifice the quality of our food given we feel this is of upmost importance. We are however pleased to hear you enjoyed our bathroom facilities; we will continue maintaining our restrooms to the highest possible standards We wish you and your family all the best

Hadnât been here for such a long time but a friend visited and reminded me of what a great restaurant it is so decided to visit for our daughterâs birthday - we werenât disappointed as it was as good as ever. Fantastic, attentive and personal service from the charming owner Eric and his lovely, young assistant. Relaxed but time appropriate service of really delicious, authentic French food, served with a very French ambience. Highly recommended.

Posh restaurant???? More like a cafe wanting to be a posh restaurant! The plates were stained and the food was lukewarm. Customer service was nonexistent. Donât get me wrong I have been here last year and the service was amazing. However this experience was disappointing in every way possible. I would of complained but it was hard to get someoneâs attention and by the time it was ready to pay the bill, I was closing a business deal and did not want to ruin losing the deal. I would recommend your staff to be briefed on how to deliver good customer service.Was the food really so terrible and is the Mary Beale restaurant really as bad as you make out ?I only ask this question because the tendency on social media is to exaggerate everything,We have a beautiful hotel with amazing grounds, and many hundreds of satisfied guests every week.I hope you raised the issues with the staff at the time, if they had known they would have taken actions to rectify any problems. If you are able to advise me of the date and time of your meal in the restaurant, I can make further investigations. Thank you.Andrew BealeManaging DirectorBeales Hotels

Just 4 of us for a fish and chips meal. The service continues to be helpful and friendly. Not everything on the menu was available but that still left a more than adequate selection. The food was freshly cooked to order and it showed. Very decent quality and quantity. Will certainly go back in the future.

Went to this Turkish restaurant for the first time. We were not very 'up' on the Turkish etiquette so we ordered some meze and a few other bits as starters ...big mistake :-) As soon as you order they bring complimentary plates of houmous, tzatziki mixed salad and copious amounts of pitta bread. By the time the starters arrived we were already stuffed. But it is amazing how much food you can pack inside when it as delicious as Aksular make it.The restaurant is very crowded (Saturday night) and noisy but if you can put up with that then this is a worthwhile visit

Whole experience is Italian. The menu is what most Britâs would identify as Italian both in its 4 course layout and items available. The wine - a dry red - was very good too. Food served in a timely manner by friendly courteous staff. Above average is atmosphere and styling - good quality table cloths, serviettes and glasses etc. Will be going back. Many thanks Ph1 MariOn for the Review.We you have enyoyed your dinnerAnd we all hope to see you again in the near future.Arrivederci Presto.

Oh dear,back to mediocre Sunday Roast.... I am always horrified when an establishment cannot produce a decent Sunday roast it really isn't that difficult!Main criteria of a Sunday roast crispy roast potatoes, crispy chicken skin and a thick gravy.... oh and if you're having cauliflower cheese they nice runny cheese sauce over the cauliflower!!Once again the old manor failed on every single one of those points.... a couple opposite from us also complained about the gravy and the cauliflower cheese so it isn't just us!We arrived at 12:20 and were greeted with leathery potatoes, uncooked chicken skin, watery gravy and congealed cheese on top of dried cauliflower. Needless to say we won't be going back here again anytime soon.... such a shame!
