New Reviews Pan Ed Sheeran’s Bertie Blossoms for Pricey, Underwhelming Mains

Reporters cite long waits with higher in‑venue prices than listed online.

Overview

  • Recent visits by local outlets found the Notting Hill spot effectively offers only two mains: rigatoni a la vodka at £20 and a flat iron steak with fries at £30.
  • The £20 pasta was described as bland and soggy, with a sauce likened to Heinz tomato soup, earning about four out of ten.
  • The steak ordered medium rare arrived well done and underseasoned, with chimichurri tasting mostly of parsley, drawing a roughly five out of ten overall for that dish.
  • Service was friendly yet slow, with waits of about 30–35 minutes for pasta and a further 10 minutes before the steak, despite a quiet dining room.
  • Prices in person exceeded the online menu, including Bertie’s Fried Chicken listed at £10 online but charged at £14, while a fan‑focused interior and an Ed Sheeran shrine appealed mainly to devotees.
