July 2023I had a fantastic experience at The Drift. It had been quite some time since my last visit, but it effortlessly matched my recollection. The service was remarkably swift, and the food choices and their quality were exceptional. I was pleased with the generous portion sizes, and the polite and attentive serving staff added to the positive experience. Impressive was the ample seating available both upstairs and outside. The quiet location made it perfect for enjoying the pleasant London summers while standing outside. Additionally, the cleanliness of the toilets was noteworthy. If you’re visiting with a large group be sure to reserve a table in advance.

May 2024Amazing place! Great selection of drinks, delicious and good price. Food is amazing! Delicious! Great place that might get busy at times. Excellent service. Totally recommend this place for a lovely meal with fantastic drinks and a great atmosphere. Not loud so you can have a nice conversation with colleagues or friends. Totally recommend the dessert apple cinnamon hush puppies! Heavenly!!!

March 2025One of the best bottomless experiences I have had. Great music, great atmosphere, drinks were flowing and the food was good. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were fabulous all afternoon. The DJ was also really good. We were off to the Usher concert after, and he was able to pop a few songs on for us within his set.

April 2025Delicious cocktails and nice vibes. My friends booked an area upstairs here for their engagement party and it went great. I especially liked the new york sour. The cocktails weren't outrageously expensive for central london, around £13 each. We also ate a few nibbles which were good.

November 2024Busy little spot. Nice interior with friendly staff but to get acknowledged and have our order taken was a tad too long. But on the flip side food came fast and was quality. The fish was fresh light and delicious
