For my birthday Sat (March 3rd) and I want to go for a nice meal. 4-6 people.
Dinner by Heston is full. The Ledbury is full. I've booked Texture at the moment but wanted other suggestions.

Skylon is good. Bibendum? Pearl?

Im a big fan of the Galvin Brothers so would say to go for one of their places.
La Gavroche is menat to be one of the best for quality in London, its certainly got the highest dinner rating on Toptable

Also really enjoyed Roka on Charlotte Street. OK the staff can be a bit "off" sometimes but the food is lovely

Roka - had lunch there back in November (we were staying at the Charlotte St Hotel). Food as you say was excellent, but it felt very expensive!
Gavroche - did that for the Mrs birthday last year.
Le Manoir is on the to do list but not suitable in this case, looking for somewhere between ourselves(west of London) and friends(east).
The Square and Galvin are a good call. Pferdestarke, I'll check out your recommendations as well.

Wanted to book our local place L'ortolan but they are full on the night in question.

Coworth Park and Pennyhill Park are between you and London

Coworth is very good, not so taken by Michael Latymer

Took some people there about 10 days ago, cocktails were good, not overly impressed with the food TBH. No complaints just not as nice as I'd been led to believe.
