Excellent as always I choose Cheese souffle which was amazing followed by Ray Wing with capers and a beautiful buttery apple pie with clotted cream and a well priced bottle of Lugana. If you like fish this for me is the best fish restaurant in London and steeped in so much history the staff are always so pleasant

Wonderful afternoon tea but... I booked on open table and booked the 20% traditional afternoon tea experience however when the bill arrived they said this offer was not on and they’ve tried to contact open table and their manager has tried to change it also but cannot. Apart from that the gentleman that served us was excellent, the food was excellent also. Thank you to the Stage at the Londoner.
