"Exemplary… I advise visiting before you can't get a table at all. If necessary, move into the neighbourhood."

The Independent

"The Artichoke is a smart outfit, the kind of restaurant you'd hope any fair-sized British town with a modicum of taste could support but, sadly, doesn't."

Jay Rayner, The Observer

"The Artichoke set out to be a good-quality neighbourhood restaurant and it has never strayed from that path. From the amuse-bouches to delicate petits-fours, every mouthful is a joy."

Fay Maschler, Evening Standard

"A genuinely warm welcome combined with professional service."

"Expect waves of amazement - texture, colour, impact, surprise - Laurie Gear's cooking is gaining depth as well as clarity - seasonality is king and the menu is tweaked as the months roll by."
