If you’ve not been to The Rook on York street do yourself a favour and make a booking. The food was amazing, Cocktails next level and Shaun and the team turned our random walk in for lunch into an evening to remember.

Im sorry to say we were very disappointed. The food was greasy and covered in sauce. The choice of beers is limited. One positive was the pornstar martini was good. The place was empty. It just wasn't how people's reviews said it would be. 😒

A nice rooftop bar. Cocktails were great. I had a Risque Rose which was yummy. Food menu looks good but we only got truffle fries and squid fritti. Both were good. Staff were friendly. The venue was quite warm even though it was maybe 30% capacity. I'm a perimenopausal sweaty woman so I wouldn't want to be there when it's full.
