Provincial is always a good consistent choice for European pub fare. Dishes always have an interesting twist, but doesn't veer too far from the original.
Bouillabaisse was lovely, rich, generous flavours. The boys had the fish selections both were cooked to description.

We've been going to the Provincial on and off for around 20 years. Unfortunately, it is going downhill in some aspects (cashing in perhaps)?

Early dinner last week and firstly, service was pretty good. Interactive and friendly staff (without being intrusive), though some lack of menu knowledge. The food was very disappointing however. Their Garlic pizza/focaccia has changed so much in the last 15 years. You used to get hand pressed flat bread loaded with full garlic cloves and loads of olive oil. Now, you get a basic, dry round pizza base with a handful of half garlic cloves.

Sorry guys, not got enough as like a good Tom Yum, this is your yardstick in my opinion. Pork main cutlet was tough and overcooked for the price so overall a disappointing experience and we won’t be back.

The restaurant part of the hotel is really nice. We had a great night and all the meals were amazing. The gnocchi is delicious and home-made and so fresh! I would highly recommend this place.

I kept waiting for the demolition crew to come in and finish knocking this place down. 1950's decor being retrograded to 1940's London blitz probably won't catch on. Service was ordinary and drinks overpriced.
