I came here for a hen night and had a set meal of a starter main and dessert, but for £30 I thought was very steep indeed. Cant remember the starter (that memorable) the mian was chicken with frites, basically chicken and chips, but not as good as my local chip shop and no way near as good value, blatent rip off food maquerading as something classy and sophisticated when it clearly is not. Dessert was something equally memorable as i cant remember that, but felt like the night was expensive and the food wasn't as exciting as I'd been led to believe. Would not come back here again as I can cook better and you can get better for less elswhere.

Great steak and wine 6th April 2008

I had a perfectly cooked "Onglet" cut of steak and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had in the UK. Highly recommended, and a restaurant where you can trust them to cook anything rare... although I tend to go for medium/rare.

Don't feel too bad about going for the cheapest wine on the menu, the Shiraz, I found it went great with the steak.

Also, very nice ambient lighting and the wine collection in public view beside the tables... I like that sort of thing.

Affordable French 25th July 2007

Chez Gerard is a good restaurant and is reasonably priced especially if one gets the midweek deal of two courses for £10. The entrecote is really good and the chips are thin and crunchy. The side veggies are also very good and not over done.
You need to book in advance especially on the weekend as the place gets very crowded.
