The afternoon tea was very disappointing. Dreadful fast food bits to start with Dreadful dry waffle, dry brownie, and extremely tiny tiramisu

I’m sorry to say we had a very disappointing visit today. Came to celebrate one of the family’s bday and from the moment we walked in it was a shambles. We were told our table would be ‘upstairs’, not guided at all where we were supposed to go. To then try and figure out what table we had on the terrace - if we had known maybe would have wrapped up abit more. The table we had booked was for 13 to which we arrived to 2 tiny square little tables which we were somehow supposed to all have dinner on?! We were continuously asking to order drinks throughout the whole visit and took about 30/45 mins to get our first drinks. Not to mention the amount of times we had ask to remind them to make some of them. There was clearly not enough staff - or just most of them were more occupied by the event happening downstairs. You could clearly see the staff weren’t particularly joyful and don’t think I saw our server smile once. The food was actually good and thank god it was! All in all I wouldn’t recommend and we won’t be returning.

Definitely wouldn't recommend for bottomless brunches - drinks are watered down, it does nothing to you. Also, it took 20mins for drinks to come every round. They did apologise and gave us an extra 30mins as a result. I'd stick to Cococure and Slug and Lettuce for bottomless - this doesn't come close.

Today after 5pm on Friday, not particularly busy, unfortunately we waited 10 minutes, no one came to us so we could order food and we decided to leave because the waiters were more busy talking to each ,because I was there once, I remember the food was good but now I don't know

Jairo and Will were amazing. Food quality and portion size is good as well, with decent selection of vegetarian/vegan options. Amazing selection of cocktails, there is a lot to choose from, so everyone can find something they like.
