Best roast chicken that I've had in years!

Maybe I just ordered the best thing on the menu, but I was REALLY impressed. I'm surprised the Yelp reviews are not even better--and that this restaurant was not packed. The roast chicken with stuffing and gravy was so moist, so flavorful, and seasoned just right. And it was a half chicken so I really didn't have room for dessert. Fortunately, they serve a "mini chocolate cake," which makes up with flavor what it lacks in size. And the prices are quite reasonable by London standards. (26 pounds including tip). Be warned: the pornographic artwork and wallpaper in the men's room is not really kid-appropriate.

I dislike nothing more than a disappointing dining experience...and this place was a real let down. 

The initial welcome was friendly and promising, but this did not continue. Service was terribly slow and ice cold, bordering on awkward at times. 

For a £17 burger, I was thoroughly underwhelmed from the moment it arrived- saddest looking bacon I've ever seen! One of my friends ordered a steak with a side of chips (my meal was to come with chips too) - without mentioning anything, they set one order on the table next to his steak. I enquired about my chips and was told that the order was for two...like, really? Why would you just randomly assume two people want to share something they ordered?! When I questioned this, the waiter replied rather rudely "sharing is caring". We were eventually brought our separate bowls of chips, but by that point I was put off by the curt service. Not impressed! 

On to the actual food. Gets a resounding meh, a mediocre burger with chewy bacon and bog standard chips. Condiments were displayed in fancy little dishes on a wooden board, but portions were super skimpy for a table of 5. Maybe this place should stop trying to be cool and trendy and actually focus on customer service and improving their food. 

In short, overpriced, mediocre food with a side of terrible service. Safe to say I won't be returning.

f you are looking for a traditional British meal head over to Hixter on Sunday for Sunday roast. I look forward mostly to my Sunday meal anytime I am in England. Sunday roast is a traditional British meal that is traditionally served on Sunday, consisting of roasted meat, roast potato, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, vegetables and gravy. roast parsnips, Brussels sprouts, peas, carrots, and broccoli. Make sure to make reservations in advance as it is not like America where they take many walk-ins.

Got seated right away, quiet night for them on Sunday evening. After reading the Yelp reviews I tried the Yorkshire pudding with chicken liver pate. Two thumbs up! I could eat that pate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My Yorkshire pudding was huge, slightly darker than I'm used to but all very delicious. For my main dish I had the traditional Sunday roast beef with sides of mushroom, peas, and potatoes. I asked for pink, your options are pink or well done. Meat was seasoned well and very tender.

Get the lunch deal, lots of options for £9.95 bargain!

Steak and chicken sandwich with fries is delicious - great steak and gorgeous lettuce almost like coleslaw.

Cool little place with a funky bar downstairs and open kitchen.

I have been here 3 times and have really enjoyed all experiences. However, having said that, it doesn't quite get the full 5*. It's always been very pleasant, but not quite got that wow factor for me. I do like the streak here but have had better for around the same price. The most notable mention regarding the food is actually the Yorkshire pudding with whipped chicken liver starter - I order that every time now! 

I would still come here again, but would be inclined to try other restaurants that might offer something a little more... Exciting perhaps?

Went on the recommendation of a friend (who met me there) and we had a not so traditional, traditional English brunch. Beef, chicken, Yorkshire pudding and sides. Oh, Bloody Mary's too! Ali was great and service was spot on. Look forward to visiting again during a future visit and hope to check out the bar downstairs!

The food was alright, but the service...was...horrible! I don't know the last time, if ever, it's been so bad. And it wasn't even busy and there were plenty of servers around. I usually only write reviews unless I can give it a 5 star, but this wasn't a near miss, it was a helluva long ways away from being worth the wait for your drinks (including water...which came out after our meal despite the fact that we asked twice for it) and food.

Awesome restaurant in the very trendy Bankside neighborhood of London. We happened upon this place while walking to Borough Market and The Shard. Came back tonight for dinner and glad we did. For our starter we had an amazing roasted allium and cheddar croquette, then a tomato salad and for our main course a sirloin steak salad and half herb roasted chicken with stuffing (too die for!!!). I highly recommend this out of the way very hip and trendy foodie restaurant.

Hixter is just okay.

The drinks were good - the pudding was good - but why oh why do they serve you from a freezer bag american style fries and call them chips on the menu?

Not sure id care to go back as its mostly a dining place, and well the food wasn't as good as the drinks and well they only have a small bar kinda awkward by the door so.....
