Reviews Bar + Block Steakhouse London Sutton

It is a new bar on the first floor of the Premier Inn hotel. The full English breakfast is only £10 and anyone from outside is welcomed. The things I like. The food is overall good, but some days they have a chief who has no idea how to cook. Every time he is on shift, the food is terrible. I was staying in the hotel many times and before the food was always good. It seems that he is working recently and the good is taste awful when he is there. He just turn the food into the garbage. He overcooked my eggs. He didn’t put butter to mushrooms. The tomatoes are look saggy. It is very bad reputation to this bar because of that new chef. I hope he will be fired snd a good person will be put in place.

What can we say about our experience at the Bar+Block…… Jess gave us a warm welcome and some great recommendations for the 2-4-1 cocktail offer. Needless to say we indulged and wasn’t disappointed. Had the 12oz Ribeye with dirty fries, with side order of Mac cheese. Wow!!! Team leader Jess is a credit to the business. Fabulous service and hospitality. Would highly recommend.

Stayed at the premier Inn attached to the restaurant so had the meal deal of evening meal and breakfast twice, thought the food was well cooked and well presented also the staff were pleasant and attentive

I went here for Father’s Day and I deliberately didn’t check out the menu before hand . Located just behind the main shopping high street you wouldn’t have thought much until you get inside . It looks really cool .It is very spacious and airy . There is a massive bar and a mixture of seats and booths . The staff were great. Full of energy and knowledge about the menu. The kids ordered the Mac ‘n’ Cheese bites and the burger , both with fries 🍟. They loved it but the only weird thing was the burger was only half a burger. Not only odd in appearance but you my boy felt cheated . Where is the other half daddy?? I ordered the Spiral Rub eye steak with seasoned fries. The steak was well cooked to my requirement of medium rare . The fries were not seasoned though. You know you pay extra. I am all for saving costs but please…🤣. We also had a nice surprise with a massive beer glass and a bottle of alcoholic cider …for free. ! 👍🏾We didn’t realise and left the beer glass. 🤣All in all it was a nice experience but was let down on the basics when it came to the food. The prices were ok …a week later and I am not sure if I would recommend it …I will go back and give them another go and write part 2 .

Visited here recently with family without a booking. Jessie, our waitress greeted us warmly & showed us to a table, explaining several dishes were temporarily not available due to certain items not being delivered & also advised us of being short staffed with only 1 chef on duty. Whilst we did wait a little longer than usual for our meal, this was more than worth the wait, as Jamie (chef) had cooked & presented each of our dishes beautifully, to perfection. During the wait, it gave us chance to enjoy a very fine glass of red wine. We were advised that if wanted to try the venue's sumptuous Christmas menu, we'd need to book as items are ordered specially - we will be doing so as can't wait to try Turkey Ballotine with all its trimmings. Thank you Bar & Block, we will return to your lovely restaurant. Visited again bank holiday 18/04/22 & had Rump Steak with Triple Cooked Chips & Peppercorn Sauce. Asked for medium rare done steak which is exactly what I received. (A good point is regardless of which chef is working, steaks are cooked consistently as per customer's request.) Waitress very friendly & service good. Previous visit: Great looking steakhouse with many separate eating booths to allow for privacy. (Located where previous Bowling Alley /Laserquest used to be & next to Premier Inn). Food excellent & wine recommendations added to menu for each steak; a good idea. Had 8oz Ribeye with Samphire, Green Peppercorn Sauce & Triple Cooked Chips, which was cooked to perfection; other family members had Classic Burger & Fries, all of which lived up to expectations. Can choose size of steak, sauce & sides. Puddings naughty but delicious. Galina, our waitress was lovely & provided a quick, efficient & friendly service, as did Andrea on another occasion when chose Cod in Beer Batter with Triple Cooked Chips. Will visit here again, superb food.

An amazing space for work during the day with a fresh drink beside you. Has some amazing cocktails and the best thing its 2for 1 from 5pm to 7pm

Returning visit. Went in november when Bar + Block had just opened. The evening was a disaster. Meal for 10,orders came one at a time over an hour period ten of us only 6 meals had arrived with 4 being incorrect. So I put that down to the company not the management nit training staff correctly and chefs were not qualified to work in a primary steakhouse. So 6 if us have now returned 2 months later to give the restaurant a second attempt. We pre booked for an early Saturday( 4 Jan 2020) We were welcomed by the manageress Olive and shown to our table by our waiter Dani (very warm and friendly Italian man) A couple of starters were ordered after our drinks order was quickly taken and served. Scallops with chive mash were perfectly cooked,along with salt and peppered squid. Mains obviously were steaks and one surf and turf(a very well prepped lobster tail) My fillet as requested was rare with a good sear and arrived exactly as requested,others had a medium and medium rare fillet and one mixed steak option . All prepared and served promptly and together cooked superbly. Sides were garlic mushrooms,sweet potato fries and triple cooked fries. All good but you can tell machine restaurant supplier for the fries/chips . Dani the section waiter was always between his tables checking in that all his clients were satisfied with meal,drinks,etc. The manager came over also with a couple of cocktails she had herself prepared as one as she stated hadn't been made for a while so wanted to make one personally. After the desserts were ordered the chef even came over to check in that steaks were all as requested. Desserts were a crumble,sticky toffee pudding,and chocolate bomb(restaurants most popular) Good size portions lovely fruit crumble and very good rich chocolate desserts,churros. We found out since our first visit some staff and chefs had been replaced which showed through 100% in atmosphere and meal quality. I would definately recommend giving Bar + Block a try but do note the get very busy later into the evening. I thanked our waiter manager and chefs(I as always say thanks to the actual cooks as at the end if the day they are the staff who prepare your food) Superb eatery very much improved. My fillet was one of the best I have enjoyed eating.
