Here are just a selection of the fabulous feedback we have received here at Franco’s.

Keep ‘em coming – send us your feedback and we’ll add it here.

“It’s democratic, modern, switched-on, informal and small. And when it’s full, which seems to be most of the time, the first floor dining room can be buzzing and noisy. In compensation, it has style and swagger in equal measure. Where minimalism can be cold and alienating, it proves benign here. If there’s such a state as post-modern cosy, Franco seems to have found it…
…Notions of comfort also figure strongly on the menu which, while courting some elements of food fashion, finds time to blow it a quick Raspberry…”

Robert Cockroft, Yorkshire Post

“What really strikes you about NoSH is its character and warmth. The building itself-the oldest on the street-makes a welcome change from converted banks and boxy out-of-town pre-fabs, but it’s the attitude of Ben and his staff, and the quality of food and wine that makes NoSH so worth the detour. Londoner’s should definitely check it out, although a night out with no snooty staff and an enjoyable unpretentious atmosphere might be too much of a culture shock.”

Theme Magazine, September 1998

“You can tell from NosH’s motto good food is good fun”.
School dinner favourites such as toad in the hole with mash to posh dishes like roast chilli sea bass, miso & tempura. All served in two 350 year old cottages. Tops!

Sky Magazine

“Aside from the obligatory culinary endeavours, NosH’s repertoire includes theatre nights, live jazz, stand-up comedy and bargain meal deals, 2 supremely edible courses for £9. A la carte, as expected, are nicely executed in presentation & flavour. Not for the less is more brigade”

Andrew Haige, The Guardian Sept 2003

“Thank you so very much Ben and team for the outstanding catering at our wedding in August. We and our guests were blown away by the spectacular presentation, delicious food and the friendly and professional service, you made our day that little bit extra special”

Stephen & Nikki Cooper

“Ben and Team catered for our birthday party at home. Ben oversaw the whole event, organised a huge amount of the party and offered advice on the other bits! They were totally professional, the food was absolutely delicious and their staff were wonderful.

I would recommend them totally. Less than 24 hours after the party, the house was clean and restored to normal.”

Graham & Sally Wilby, Summer BBQ, 2008

“Just a quick note to thank you for the fantastic effort yourself, Nicola and the team made on our special day.

The food and service were excellent, but your experience in coordinating between the marquee company, drinks supplier, Master of Ceremonies, and all the other elements of the wedding made a major difference in ensuring the day ran without a hitch, with both of us being able to concentrate on enjoying it.”
