Frankie & Benny's

Strangely for a family who loves eating out, we have never visited at the Italian American restaurant, Frankie & Benny's but a trip to see the Black Venus exhibition at Somerset House offered an ideal opportunity as there was a restaurant just a few minutes away. 

Our first impression was the really friendly welcome (I had been given a voucher for the review but the staff had no idea we would be reviewing their venue) and were directed to comfortable seating where there was room for Lizzie's buggy. We were straightaway offered a highchair (not needed yet!).

If you sign up for the newsletter on the Frankie & Benny website you get a voucher for their Pizza Garlic Bread – Harriet's favourite and ours too when we discovered it's vegan. In fact the menu caters for anyone with food intolerances or allergies. Harriet added another of her favourites – Mozzerella Sticks.

Our mains were: Chicken Burger with Mozzeralla ( I opted to have this without the bun), Arrabiatta and Carbonarra – all served piping hot. Delicious was our joint verdict. We had no room for a dessert.

As a family friendly restaurant, Frankie and Benny's is great with excellent baby changing facilities, good seating arrangements and a menu to suit all tastes.
