Really pleased with the newly refurbished venue. However the music got turned up part way through our visit and it did seem a bit too loud. It was quite hard to hear others in our group speak.

I was there today - Sat 16th Nov. Love the cob salad. My friend and I always have that, a glass of wine and a coffee for lunch. Always great and fab service.

Excellent menu, friendly staff and nice to be back. I would say that it was a little pricey for what we actually got.

I like The Huxley for brunch and this was first time for dinner. The service is always 5 star, the space welcoming and not too noisy for good table conversation. Food is generally strong although not a big range of options and in my dish not as value for money as I expected. It would not put me off going again though.
