Table of 5 family - Anniversary Dinner - looked after VERY well, food consistently excellent, ambiance is perfect for the style, loved the music to go with this year's Selfridges 70's Disco theme!! My family all felt very spoilt and amazed with the whole experience. Cocktails are strong and delicious and wine list perfect. You MUST share an Eton Mess with someone you love (and trust to stick to just half! lol)

Very good atmosphere for a football game, lots of screens to watch the game. Service was decent but could do with more skill when pouring a Guinness.
