    We were asked to move tables. Then had no service at all! I had to get up from the table over 3 times to get service.

    The rare beef sandwich was literally raw meat on bread. It was terrible. I sent it back.

    Always good and handy for a late office lunch. Food is nice, service is sometimes slow but that is what you get in the City during lunch rush hour

    had a lovely meal with a client, who also enjoyed the food variety. The food came out together and was very well cooked.

    We went here for a work lunch - there was something that everyone could eat, the service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere was really good even though it wasn't that busy (nowhere is in January!)

    So many better options. Poor service, below-average food, and multiple things on the menu "not available" the night we were there. Far too many better options in London for a good pub experience.

    Super quick service, which is always appreciated when popping out for something during a lunch hour. No complaints with the food either.
