Our table wasn't ready for 7.30pm, we waited until about 7.40pm to be seated they then told us we had to leave at 9.30pm but didn't take our order until after 8pm. They also made mistakes in the order. Aside from that everything else was great.

Booked Bodean's for a catch up with some work colleagues, and it was a really disappointing experience. we ordered the house lager, which took 3 attempts as it kept arriving flat, the waitress had to go down to the downstairs bar in the end and bring up a jug that we were left to pour ourselves. we understand that these things happen but it shouldn't be arriving at the guest table, especially as it had already been pointed out. we also ordered the Mash potato which when it arrived it looked more like a bowl of milk. when we pointed it out to waiter he looked horrified that this had been served up, however he was the one that had given it to us. i'm sure on another day we could have had a good experience but on this occasion unfortunately it wasn't

Food was a huge disappointment from what we have experienced before at Bodeans. The pulled pork was tasty but a really tiny portion for £15. The fries were just pathetic. The other dishes were mediocre at best. The overall impression of the place from plates to tables to toilets was tired, aged and in desperate need of attention (wc especially dirty) The visit was not a good experience. One positive is that our server was excellent.

Very disappointed with the whole evening. Pre booked the table over a week in advance with comments that wanted a table downstairs. When turned up were given table upstairs with cock n bull story about no tables available downstairs when it was half empty. Food was tasteless apart from maybe wings which we Ok. Ordered Ribs which were bland and dry. Would not go there again in a hurry.

Found the meat a bit dry and was disappointed about the lack of sauce on the spare ribs - might just be my expectation after other ribs places and what is served at the Bodean is just different. Otherwise nice joint for a meal catchup.

Had a great time a food was great as usual. However I felt the portion sizes have reduced which was disappointing. The ambience was great and the service was decent however getting service at times was quite difficult and we were left waiting with our food for no cutlery for quite a while. We also didn’t receive any condiments and had to grab these ourselves whilst also requesting some mayonnaise which never arrived.

The man at the front desk gave us quite a cold welcoming, considering we were the only customers in the restaurant i'm not sure why he had a problem with us. The staff downstairs were really friendly and helpful, delivered excellent service and great cocktails Just abit of feedback on the food: The food was really good apart from... Truffle Mac and Cheese - Could not taste or smell any truffle and it needed alot of salt which is different to the last time we had it here Hemp Burger- I'll be honest I've not had a hemp burger before so I'm not comparing this to anything but it was just awful, tasted like burnt bubble and squeak!

Server allowed me to taste a small portion of the truffled mac and cheese before ordering, which was nice of her. Starter of nachos to share was drenched in plasticky cheese sauce which obscured the other toppings. Nachos were a strange texture too. Not a very pleasant dish. I (vegetarian) ordered the BBQ Jackfruit meal for my main and wished I’d ordered the mac and cheese instead. Fries were crazy-hot and ‘bourbon-spiked beans’ tasted far too similar to the jackfruit. The servers messed up my drinks order, giving me a regular mojito rather than the non-alcoholic version which I ordered. Service would have been 7 but I took 1 point off for the drink mistake. Good thing I’m not a recovering alcoholic!

Meat was rather salty. The coleslaw was nice but the meals (as standard) could come with some plain salad which would make the meat more appetising and easier to eat. The chips didn’t have much flavour.

I've been to Bodeans quite a few times (to all Central London branches) but I've never had food like that served on Saturday 26 June; thought perhaps they had a new chef that day as the ribs were dry (and this is no fault of the chef, but Burnt Ends were very fatty)! Was looking forward to getting back to Bodeans as food is normally delicious, but that has put me off and I don't think I will be visiting again :(

Service was ace considering we were a group of 8. Only marked down on the food as one member of the party ordered the £25 steak and it was brought out cold. They werent keen on making a fuss so didnt want to raise it at the time - he still ate it!!

Super experience! We turned up early, and the waitress was able to accommodate for us, she did an excellent job with her service! The food is as we have come to expect from bodeans, truly delicious. Thanks to all and we will be back!

Beer selection not brilliant during our visit. Food was great as always. Tables a bit close during Covid and it was a bit cold but presume that was adding extra ventilation!

As soon as we walked in me and my partner felt unease. Not a single person (staff or customer) was wearing a mask while walking around. I found this appalling due to the fact it is mandatory. We were sat down and our seat was close to other tables. At this point we felt unsafe and walked out.

The Jacob’s Ladder ribs which I have loved in the past we’re a bit dry this tough unlike some I’ve had at the restaurant before. I didn’t get that marinated in sauce taste and texture or shall I say that the sauce didn’t marry well with the meat and your bbq sauce in general could be better! I’m a lover of BBQ and when I go out to eat it I don’t want to think I could have done better at home because I shouldn’t be able to. I come to you guys for an eating experience especially as an American from the south living over here for many years. I want home when I bite into your ribs!

We’ve been to Bodeans before and loved the food so decided to have a Christmas meet up with friends. The starters for most people were really good, but my soup resembled baby purée and I couldn’t eat it, my husband shared his chicken wings with me. The mains looked amazing, but some of the meat was a bit dry. Also certain things were missing and we had to ask for them. Bodeans did take some money off the bill and gave us complimentary shots which was a nice gesture. Will I return? Most likely as hopefully was a one off.

The whole experience was below average . Despite booking online my reservation could not be found . Service was very poor , there were items missing from the menu but not made clear to us until we had placed our order then 5 mins later told we couldn't have them ! Waiting staff were not very attentive and we didn't stay long .

Drinks took a while to come. We ordered double burgers but only single burgers arrived. One of our party ordered a medium burger but this was well done. The food was good but we couldn’t understand the mistakes - the restaurant wasn’t busy. They did give us money off the bill but it was a disappointing experience

Our afternoon server (She - cant remember her name) was excellent. Given other places I have eaten at - I felt the cleanliness of the restaurant could be improved - still using old menus (during covid times) - so uncomfortable touching them. Also not sure how well the tables are cleaned after every use. Also , the toilets could be cleaner.

Everything was a little better than Ok. Sadly my memory was that it was exceptional when I went some years ago. Not disappointing just not outstanding.
