    We gathered that the food during the year is excellent however the Christmas Day gourmet lunch was poor and very overpriced. That said, we were lucky to get anywhere on Christmas Day and the staff were very nice and helpful.

    Excellent food in very pleasant surroundings. Service very good, and the staff managed my wife's dietary issues very well (particular thanks to our waitress, who was a young lady from Iran.) It was quite expensive, but this might well be 'normal for London'.

    It was very good with good service. Limited menu options but I suppose that means the food is always fresh. Good service, music from the speaker was abit loud but it was overall a good experience.

    We had a lovely Sunday Roast experience on a Sunday of course! Very polite and good service. The food was very good and the aged prime rib was wonderful. Lovely setting and dining ambience.

    We had a lovely meal here last night. The food was good quality, the noise levels quiet which was ideal. The stand out part of the evening though was the service - the staff were very friendly and attentive and made sure our evening was great. Thank you for a lovely meal and experience.
