Konstam at the Prince Albert

Stephen Emms (25 January 2008)

Konstam at The Prince Albert, has an attractive interior and the chef/owner, Oliver Rowe, can boast that 85% of his menu is locally-sourced, seasonal food from around Greater London. The exposed kitchen, complete with swinging frying pans makes a great centrepiece even if the conversation slows down, and the crowd and service is laidback. The menu changes every day, but within 25 minutes they produce such delicacies as Syon Park trout or grilled pigeon breast with elderberry sauce and buttered beetroot. We particularly loved the slow roast shoulder of lamb and velvety broccoli puree with chunky braised chard. They also have a good collection of expensive and reasonable wines and if you’re feeling brave, try a Somerset cider brandy.

Had the delight of eating breakfast here one sunny Sunday in June. I have to say that this is one of the best breakfasts I have eaten the food quality was amazing. It was totally let down by the service or lack of it though. We had to wait 10 mins to have our order taken and after asking three times after waiting over 20 mins for water and two cold drinks the drinks finally arrived. The staff are pleasant though working a little faster might help customers to keep returning. I am a local resident and would use Konstam more if I could guarantee that it would not take over 1 hour just to get water, two cold drinks and a 1 course breakfast of no complexity. I will try again soon.
