By chance I had arranged to have lunch here on one of their new menu tasting days. This meant it was a little busier than you'd expect on a weekday lunch hour but also that everything was half price. Being guinea pig to their chefs was frankly fantastic and at £13 odd for a starter, two mains, a flat white and a peppermint tea you couldnt fault it. The food was fresh, imaginative and cooked to perfection. The fish taco starter reminded me of sunny days in California while the beef with chimichurri sauce left me dreaming of Argintina. This place claims to deliver classic British food I'd dispute this but say it's none the worse for it. Service was very friendly and quick enough without...read...
...The Apiary fuses rustic charm with foodie goodness to create the perfect relaxed dining environment. I had no preconceptions about the restaurant before we visited it for lunch, due to being in the area. S.o. had heard good things, but mostly just liked the chic look of it from streetside.

The place is filled with rustic tables and booths with twinkly fairy lights and candles.

I plumped for the chicken hearts to start which were covered in honey and smoked paprika and came with gin smoked cherry...read more
I can't sing that the apiary praises enough. I've been here several times and everyone was visiting was stellar. the eating is well portioned and inspired by the whole world, on this wise not dissimilar to blonde on st. leonards street. her imagination and the daring with her menu she really deals with exotic meats regularly with (colm and ilma! here and the crazyest ice creams (they remember pink pfefferminz and white chic, pb and j and lemon and basilikum . is not disappointed to the special attention of the magnificent seafood acts and the entire dessert menu. her lunch menu of 2 curses for 10 £ and pre theater 2 courses for 15 £ is incredibly valuable. it is...read more
