Perhaps my expectations were low because online reviews described Chiltern Firehouse as overhyped, but I really did have a fabulous experience here. Our orders were churned out from the kitchen well-paced like a well-oiled machine, served to us by affable waitstaff, most notably the very personable Bryan (Brian?), an attentive French chap who took great care of us and had us in peals of laughter throughout the meal.

The food, of course, was on point, starting with this "Snack" of Bacon Cornbread served with the most indulgent butter sprinkled with cheese powder – think Cheezels seasoning. The flavour of the bacon was quite mild, but the overall savouriness of these moist and dense yet fluffy, corn muffin-like breadsticks was decidedly winsome.
