Step into 1st floor RAILS Restaurant for a buzzy and relaxed dining experience. Expect a great modern British-French grill with succulent meat, fish and vegetable dishes served with sauces and sides, and the best moments from a Parisian brasserie menu, not to mention interiors.

Frenchie cocktails and digestifs top off the occasion from the adjoining Little Bar, wrapped in William Morris wallpaper dressed in eclectic art.

In addition, GNH Bar and Terrace, a bustling and welcoming space, blending British heritage with world influences welcomes you downstairs on the street level. The GNH Bar is open every day from 9am to 11pm.

    Lovely restaurant, however the service wasn’t great although it wasn’t overly busy - a starter was forgotten and then due to this the meals were cold. Steaks weren’t cooked as ordered either. We were offered a reduction in the bill and then this was forgotten so we had to request it twice. Overall not what I would expect for the price.

    Terrible terrible service, please don’t go here for your own sake. We waited an hour, didn’t get our drinks even by the time we left and the bill was triple what we had. My worst restaurant experience ever!
