Holy Smoke (Wimbledon)

• This isn't your standard 'smokehouse' it's smoked foods with a modern and international twist
• The pork belly is also a must try and I've got it on good authority (Dad) that the veggie options are a cut above as well
• Really would recommend this spot for a date night or with another couple or two
• I went to The Holy Smoke with my girlfriend and it is an upscale restaurant with a cozy and romantic atmosphere and is a great choice for a dinner for two the perfect place to have a good time
• You forget about what is it that has come and just enjoys everything happening
• The dishes were well presented
• This time it was a long dinner with the full suite of tasting menu and wine list
• Holy Smoke was great on so many levels as a restaurant
• Knowledgeable and welcoming service and excellent value are all huge plus points but the execution of the food in my view could definitely have been improved
• 12 for the lunch menu for two courses is great value
• The goat's cheese salad with pomegranate cream dressing and granola nuts was very dry and lacked quantity on the dressing which was a shame
• The main of pulled pork with coleslaw and black vean risotto again was a delicious idea and the main part of the pork was cooked and seasoned to perfection
• The black beans and the rice in the risotto were undercooked nad not seasoned and there could have been more coleslaw
• Like the pork was also delicious
• With coffee the bill was only £
• 14.50 per head which was outstanding
• Feel compelled to write something for the first time in a while as I was almost put off visiting on account of the current Zomato rating of 3.2
• Bow bow how was this arrived at when the five votes Holy Smoke has received to date were one 3.5
• That makes 4.3 in my book and much more appropriate a score for an intimate restaurant with a slightly offbeat take on British cuisine and a relaxed
• Well worth a visit if you're in the area but what's with the scoring methodology
• I popped in here for my birthday lunch as everyone was raving about the food
• Then ate a main of pulled pork with black bean risotto which was very rich in flavour
• The lovely staff gave me a packet of mints to take away with me as a birthday present
• The founder is a true food lover
• Works tirelessly himself to ensure everything is perfect and each dish is clearly made with love and attention
• With only a small number of covers each night it is a marvel that Holy Smoke (Wimbledon) can survive at the prices charged
• You will be hard pressed to find any place in London with better value for money than this
