It is with a real heavy heart I post this review. Having followed on social media for well over a year, having dropped many many hints to my husband about wanting to sample 12.51, he took me for my birthday in February 2023. I was so excited for this meal. We arrived a little early, but they said they were happy for us to take our seat. They wished me a happy birthday and brought out a glass of bubbles. Lovely. Husband had arranged the 10 course with drinks pairing. I had not even finished my bubbles when the bread, swiftly followed by first and second dish came out. The bread and butter was lovely. And the first 2 courses, the jerk chicken and the neeps and tatties black pudding hash brown were incredible. But very rich. And washed down with a pairing of a rum, apple and Prosecco cocktail, it was a bit intense. Which is why when the next course and wine came out, with 2 drinks already parked, I was beginning to struggle. As the mackerel went in my mouth I immediately gagged. I could not swallow it, and my husband finished the dish. I normally love fish and seafood so this was worrying. The celeriac dish was lovely, but service continued to be very quick, and the dish with the crab baji unfortunately had the same effect. At this point my husband asked them to slow down- we had 6 courses in under an hour and with paired drinks it was all too much. It was with much anxiety the next course was partridge. I often struggle with the richness of game, especially as high end restaurants often serve it quite rare. However mine was quite well cooked, which made it more tolerable, however my husbands was like a drumstick lolly- half white half pink. At this point he complained and he was offered another dish or the veggie option, but he declined. The cheese and dessert were lovely, normally by that stage I’m stuffed and the husband eats my dessert but having gagged on 2 dishes I was still reasonably hungry and the dessert was probably one of the best dishes. They came and asked if we wanted anything else. We asked for a coffee but they were unable to facilitate that. I mean even a greasy spoon cafe can muster up a coffee! Having complained, they did knock £20 off the bill. Small fry considering the spend. But upset that my birthday meal had not been what he had hoped, my husband paid and we made a swift exit. He followed up the issues on social media via Instagram, but 3 weeks later he’s had no follow up. In summary, service was rushed, cooking on a number of dishes were poor, and value for money is questionable. Really really sad and disappointing as I had so much hope for this venue, and as you can see from my history and food gram, I’ve travelled to a lot of high quality restaurants yet very rarely leave negative feedback, such a shame. Other people have commented about the toilets. Yeah they were pretty poor and located right next to the kitchen. But I think the bigger focus needs to be in the delivery of the food and drink and timing.
