I regularly go to the Little Bay in Kilburn in NW London. I would have expected this one to have been very similar which is generally good food at a very reasonable price.

The good/bad news is that the restaurant burnt down last night so will presumably be closed for several month while it is being rebuilt.

Hopefully a brand new restaurant with clean new toilets will be a great improvement !

This place was great!!! To be honest i wasn't expecting much considering the three courses for ten pounds deal (if you have a party of ten) but wow even paying the full prices (which wasn't that much) i would still have been happy.

Lets start with the service the waiter Velcro (or something very similar) was very nice attentive but not intrusive (he was fabb), and then the food well where do i start because we came in a large party we got to try each other food and there was not one of us which was not happy with a single plate of food we were served!!!

I started with the Pork belly with black pudding (which was juicy and full of flavour) i then went onto the mussels which was creamy and really tasty great with the fresh bread they served.

For dessert i had the banana profiteroles which were lovely but to be honest my friends cheese cake with passion fruit sauce was lush!!!!

This place was a great find it had live opera singers and was really entertaining I'm definitely going back for round two.

I live a walk away from Little Bay and have been going ever since it opened 4 years ago. The first couple of years were brilliant, really good food, prices, atmosphere and very importantly good service. I brought friends, family and have suggested it as a good venue for birthdays.Then a couple of years ago possibly less, the service in there changed, and became less than good. From going there at least once every couple of months I started going less and less.

Then a week ago I went with a friend even though I had warned her the service was no longer very good,but hoped that maybe things had improved since id last gone 6 months ago.But it was the worst its ever been. We arrived there at 6pm and immediatley were reminded that we had leave at 8pm, which i had said on the phone when i booked that this was fine.

We were further reminded 7 times through our meal that we had to leave by 8pm by a very rude waiter. We finished our starter and main by 7.30 and the waiter came up to us looked at his watch and said that we couldnt have desserts, which we were not planning to have anyway.It totally ruined the night and when we spoke to the manager, he couldnt have cared less.

We were always going to leave by the allocated time, and what was worse is that the resturant was mostly empty.Due to the continued bad service i will certainly never be going again, which for me is such a shame as it used to be such a perfect place to go.

The food and prices and the resturant itself is amazing, but the managers over the past couple of years have let the place down with the overall service.I think if you go in a big group you are fine but if you go as a couple of you then all they want to do is get you out of there as fast as they can, and treat you quite rudely.

Had a great time here on my birthday with a group of friends; its such a fun place to be with the OTT decor and friendly opera singer (who seranaded me in my native tongue -welsh)
There were some large parties there but we had good service and my meal was delicious - one of my friends is a chef he was impressed by the quality and price of the food too
The murals in the toilets are obscene but thats part of the fun (should be clearer warnings maybe)

I visited Little Bay last night with a group of friends and had an utterly fantastic time.

It's a place that really has an impact from the moment you walk in - in fact we walked in just as one of the opera singers was mid-song right by the door so were serenaded as we stepped over the threshold!

The booths feel cosy and private so it's fantastic for an intimate dinner with friends and they're so lavishly decorated you feel like you're in an opera box. We did spot a random coat hook and a school-bell style fire alarm hidden away in the midst of the decoration which made us laugh for a while - the whole place has such an eclectic feel and climbing the narrow steps to the top boxes above the bar feel like you're climbing into a bunk bed!

The staff were friendly and whilst the service could have been a bit quicker, we were quite tucked away on a busy Saturday night. The food was top and well worth a little bit of a wait - tasty and large portion sizes for such cheap prices. The opera singer even came and sat with/sang to us at one point, followed by the manager who gave us a free bottle of wine and some tequila shots later - most definitely service with a smile.

After being a little bit apprehensive about what the place would be like as none of us had been before, we all had a fantastic time and the atmosphere was second to none.

I'll definitely be going back soon - we've already started planning the next Little Bay evening!

THE WORST MEAL I HAVE EVER HAD.

We went to the Little Bay for a friends birthday. We ordered our food at 8.20pm our main courses arrived at 11.05pm! In the meantime no one ever came to offer us drinks or explain the delay. The duck was disgusting- deep fried and hairy. My braised beef was 'fridge' cold in the middle - when I sent it back,both the chef and the waiter touched it to test the temperature then sent the same touched food back microwaved! After several complaints the manager (12th Jan) never came over to talk to us and then threatened to call the police when we thought that perhaps we shouldn't pay the full price for the meal.
P.S The Kitchen looked dirty and the toilets were filthy and out of order. Perhaps spend more time cleaning them and less time painting hard core porn on the walls.

I GIVE THIS RESTAURANT NO STARS. IT IS DISGUSTING!

I've been a regular at Little bay for a few years, and I'm sad to say things have started to go downhill. Whilst the novelty of the singers is a great touch and the decor and service are all fantastic, I've always left feeling a little disappointed with the food.


If you're a vegetarian avoid this place, the sweltering heat is beyond a joke and don't wear your finest outfits if you dont want them permanently stained with the smell of duck fat. Litte Bay has good prices and good wine, but poor choice and average food.

Little Bay is a great place.

I had an excellent meal at Little Bay and will be visiting again. The toilets are certainly something to see! And if you don't know why I'll let it stay a surprise!
