An enjoyable lunch, with a wide range of cuisine. Pleasant surroundings food was lovely. Just an idea my friend who is 80 years old found the seating a bit hard! A jug of water on the table would also be a good idea! Reasonably priced too

I love the clubby relaxed feel of this place, so it easily wins 5 stars for ambience. The service is great - typical top end London chic. But the surprise is the food. The menu doesn’t look exciting but the finished product certainly is. From the chicken salad stater through the pork belly mash with black pudding mash to the way better then normal cheese board, it was a perfect place to work through a few excellent bottles of wine whilst putting the world to rights!
