    A lovely Saturday night with friends at City Place, Wanstead. Doing a new Saturday night Burger menu, alongside their evening menu, great burgers from ginger pig butchers! Mum had that. And when you collect 10 stamps you get a free burger.🍔 My friend said she'd had the best surf and Turf she'd ever had. Me I Love that they also do have a great tasting vegan burger, vegan coleslaw and vegan mayo, feeling spoilt. May sound daft but they have the best onion rings I've ever had in my life, Can't resist them. The live music from Etienne tonight was most enjoyable. Definitely recommend City Place for a lovely Friday or Saturday evening out whatever the occasion. We'll be back again. Thank you City Place

    Memorable evening thanks to superb vocals of jazz singer Sue Holliday and virtuoso keyboard player Gabriel Keen. Great atmosphere. The food was very good, too and staff were very friendly and attentive.

    Came here on an event night to see Candy Gigi, special smaller event menu, good food and decent portion sizes. Friendly and welcoming staff, not too crowded and service was very efficient. Would come again
