The food is always incredible, and, even on a quiet evening, the atmosphere is welcoming and cosy in no small part because of the lovely staff. The "small" plates are extremely generous - not little tapas-type bowls and reasonably priced for such high quality and imaginative dishes.My favourite restaurant by far.

Mixed feedback from me and the mrs. Great service, good wine and some very tasty dishes. However, there was a lack of plain sides to balance out the super-flavoured ones on the menu; by the end we felt like we'd overdosed on sauces and oil in all the dishes apart from the bao buns (which were very good). It was a cold night and we could feel it in the room so I wasn't comfortable throughout the meal. My feedback is please control the room temperature and don't assume to put ice in the drinks! The menu is pot luck by the look of it and I think we hit a relatively bad one for our first visit.

RIP OFF.Portion of food was shocking. Prices were extortionate. Food came out cold! Really dissatisfied. Will not be going back. Waste of money.

We had a wonderful night here as a romantic meal with my partner. The service was lovely and we felt "Nook" was the perfect name for the place. They even gave me the first oyster that I've ever really enjoyed! It was delicious and a wonderful night.We really like that the menu is never the same and it constantly cycles so it always means you can go back for something new.

The food was fantastic. Some really creative and unusual dishes that you talk about for weeks afterwards. The service was excellent and the kitchen coped amazingly well with one of our party's gluten intolerance. The wine list was interesting and the orange wine a revelation. However the restaurant was absolutely freezing. I was the only one who risked taking their coat off and those on other tables who had dared it wrapped their coats around their legs to keep away the chill. It was uncomfortably cold. We would definitely go back - but not in the winter.

OMG. I've wanted to eat here for ages and it did not disappoint. Every single dish was absolutely delicious. I would have licked the plates if I was allowed to. We're still dreaming about the pickled cucumber. Yum, yum and yum!

Food a bit undercooked, the wine was nice. Not enough options on the menu. Garlic fries and sauces were really good.

Such a disappointing evening at Nook. Having eaten there on a number of occasions, and had a brilliant experience, this evening meal in September was very poor. With only two options on the menu - oysters & fried chicken, as a vegetarian I was offered left overs from the brunch menu. There was not even a dessert option to make up for the lack of variety. I contacted Nook directly to express my disappointment but had no reply. Bad form. Disappointing.

I don?t know what?s going on, but what a terrible experience. I?ve been going to Nook for years and have always adored their food (one of my favorite restaurants). Usually, the food is interesting and innovative and a delight. I was so excited to take my friend here, but what we got was deep friend chicken and French fries- regular pub grub. Staff knew nothing about the wine. NOOK!! What on earth are you doing?!!? I couldn?t have been more disappointed.

Nook by the river pop up. Great location. Nice atmosphere in the tent and friendly staff. I found the food underwhelming. Ordered two small plates- one was delicious and the other tasted too much of bbq for me but my wife loved it. The pork main was also not to our taste at all. My wife loved the rice pudding dessert but again I didn?t like cold rice pudding. So all in all a mixed bag but a nice experience. The menu was clearly labelled and options for gluten free diners :)
