The cheese platter was a little under ripe for my taste. Puddings and cheese are all Stg 4.00. Given that many pre-show diners may not want to send themselves to sleep by drinking too much wine, we thought we'd try some wines by the glass. From the number of diners on a Thursday evening in January I concluded that restaurant goers have discovered that the People's Palace is a good place to go even if you are not attending a concert or a play. For those who enjoy good cooking without unnecessary elaboration or massive choice, the People's Palace offers excellent value for money.
Service is professional and unfussy.
The People's Palace, The Royal Festival Hall, South Bank London SE1. Garry Rhodes has left the Levins' group of restaurants to work for a large catering and banqueting company. Stuart Busby is now cooking at the Greenhouse. The new head chef at the People's Palace is Stephen Carter who until recently cooked for Stephen Bull, whose eponymous restaurant is also noted for the excellence of its Modern British style cuisine. Prices remain the same as our review above and the front of house team remains the same.
