The Nudge London

Many years ago The nudge was a way to genuinely be on the pulse of london from people in the know. It’s now thinly veiled PR for bars, restaurants etc who pay the nudge to be on their mailing list with hardly any (real) quality control. It’s not a true recommendation engine - lots of the very best established and new restaurants in london are missing off its list. Yes, there are some “50% off” offers for members, but they’re hard to get and usually just for soft launches where kinks are still being worked out in service and food. I’ve been using the service for many years but have decided to cancel my membership

Extremely good picks for what’s going on all over London (not just bars and restaurants, but other cool events), and is constantly updated. If you subscribe you get offers for new launches too!

Great content on London. App could really use improvement - you can’t even Search on it anymore.

Excellent if you want to know about new openings but the gushing reviews are often way off the mark. We found Joia’s Bacalhau a Braz almost inedible. They need to get feedback from the punters. Lina’s in Marylebone was awful. They had Amalfi lemon on the menu which turned out to be your average Tesco lemon and they brazened it out by saying their customers hadn’t complained. They refused to provide tomato salsa with a dry cotoletta a la Milanese. I can search for “afternoon tea” on my PC but not my IPhone. Can you remedy this omission please? Can you please create a SIMPLE search facility that gets you straight into the London map showing all the restaurants?

I love your writing style. It makes me chuckle. e.g. Best Seafood restaurants are not by the coast but certainly not coasting. 😂 Just the right amount of information about lots of exciting places. I also trust the reviews as I’ve been lucky enough to verify that on a couple of occasions to date. Thank you for providing great, British review material with a huge dollop of foodie humour.

App does what it should but could do with a search function and filters for when you look for places, for example a price filter. The idea section is a great concept but a bit annoying to use with pressing in and out of menus. Would love to see some improvements come in for it especially for those that are members.

Love the nudge. It’s all about finding the place you want to go. They even have a venue approximate cost on the reviews. But I can’t filer by this in my “ideas” searches. The fields here need to become more dynamic depending on previous choices. I want to find a cheap meal. This can’t be hard.

How can you search the Nudge? I want to find the best burger in London! The Nudge has a burger review article but I cannot search for it instead having to trawl through the database. Please make the app searchable And also why do I need a nickname to send a review??

I signed up for the week trial but did not find it that useful, but found it impossible to find any useful information on how to cancel before the first subscription payment was taken today. I have now finally found a cancel option that I don’t believe was there before I had paid. Annoying but thankfully only 3.99 so not worth the effort to pursue.

The search function is terrible and the choices are poor. No wow content as such. And I got tricked into paying for the subscription extension without my knowledge
