"We had the Feast menu at Bank, and it was exceptional from beginning to end. At just £49 per person, it felt like an incredible value, especially considering the quality, portion sizes, and variety of dishes offered. The online photos truly don’t do it justice; everything looks and tastes even better in person.
We kicked off our meal with the grilled Nocellara olives and Calabrian butter, accompanied by smoked nuts, pretzels, seeds, and crackers. It was a brilliant opener—rich and savory, yet light enough to set the perfect tone. The middle courses were outstanding. The violet artichokes with tomato and peanut sauce and green harissa were vibrant and incredibly flavorful. The barbecued tomato with crispy polenta and sundried XO was packed with layers of taste. A standout dish was the smoked pork belly paired with pickled watermelon salad and mission crab butter—smoky, tender pork complemented perfectly by the freshness of the salad. The sourdough focaccia with smoked garlic oil was not only delicious by itself but also ideal for mopping up that outstanding mission crab butter.
The main course of landrace pork chop with miso mustard sauce was cooked to perfection—juicy, smoky, and flame-grilled, balanced beautifully in richness. The sides complemented the dish splendidly: French fries with black garlic amino butter were indulgently umami, while the baby gem salad with smoked garlic Caesar, parmesan, and croutons was fresh yet bold.
Dessert was a knockout. The whipped Basque cheesecake with Sichuan strawberry and pretzel crunch was light, creamy, and flavorful, with the right amount of texture from the crunch. Each portion was generous, making it truly a “feast” menu rather than a tiny tasting menu. Every dish felt complete and satisfying, and the progression of flavors flowed beautifully from start to finish.
Overall, the balance of flavors, the smoky, flame-grilled cooking, and the generous portions made this one of the best tasting menus I have experienced. For £49 per person, it is exceptional value. Bank is a must-visit; the flavors, the cooking, and the attention to detail create an unforgettable experience.
