Bradleys - Camden

We went for the really very good value set meal before the Hampstead theatre probably like everyone else there at 5.30 on a Thursday just before Christmas. We would happily have eaten either option for both courses. I managed to have chestnuts for every course a win in my book. Delicious bread to start with and then an ok chestnut and mushroom soup with a delicious mushroom pastry alongside. But the real triumph was the confit of duck with parsnip and savoy cabbage and a dark sauce. Plus we ordered extra sprouts and chestnuts and potatoes on the side. It was a delicious combination of tastes and textures: quite sweet in the parsnip and duck but the sprouts cut it. Desserts were fine: more chestnuts on the meringue and husband enjoyed raspberry creme brûlée. All that for £30 a head plus sides and Prosecco seemed a good deal to me and we would go back like a shot. The full menu is very much pricier but did look good

Went for a pre Theatre meal on Saturday evening as we have done many times over the years. Usually the restaurant is full this time less than half full. The choice of food via the fixed price menus very good. Soup and soufflé for starter excellent. Schnitzel also good but my wife’s lamb dish poor really stringy.Deserts ok, Big issue was restaurant did not appear to have much heating on quite a cold damp evening. Neither of us felt comfortable.. This was confirmed by comments made by fellow diners we spoke to at the theatre who said this would be a factor in deciding whether to eat at Bradley’s the next time they went to Hampstead Theatre.

We celebrated my husband 's birthday here and the evening was a great success. The food was delicious and each table was served together, the service was excellent, the care taken with 'fussy eaters ' was exemplary and it was a 5-star experience. This was confirmed by all our friends the following day. Simon the owner could not have been more helpful and more professional.

The restaurant is perfectly situated within a few yards of the Hampstead Theatre and the clientele, like us, were mostly going there. The early meal was served efficiently without the usual panic of having to rush the last course.. The choice of food was interesting and we both enjoyed the food that we ordered. Certainly somewhere that warrants a return visit.

Enjoyed an excellent pre theatre meal. The set menu food was very good and between us we had both the starters and mains butternut squash soup and gravlax with beetroot followed by rump of lamb and hake.All the dishes were well prepared and presented. To accompany our food we enjoyed a very good French Pinot Noir. My only gripe was that for reasons that escaped me the head waiter would not serve me any bread until we had ordered notwithstanding that my guest arrived late and I had already ordered and was drinking our wine!
