"Sadly, after many years of visiting this establishment, our visit on 11th November 2023 was shocking. This was our first visit since the Coronavirus Pandemic, we arrived at 9.41pm after travelling a long distance for what has always been a monthly treat (pre Pandemic). The people serving were not at all pleased to see us, we placed our order including a fishcake on it 's own (I have a receipt to prove it) the lady who took our order was asked to confirm our order by the chef, he shout angrily and aggressively at her No Fishcake . She then came to us and said, sorry no fishcakes but you can have anything else , we reluctantly ordered a portion of Calamari. The woman who appeared to be in charge was hostile and rude to the lady that was serving us and demanded that she go down stairs to get Tartare sauce. She was not at all pleasant to us neither, it was very clear they wanted to close up, all be it there was a good 15 mins before closing at 10pm. Unfortunately, to add to this hostile reception, the food was awful, the fish and calamari was tasteless despite being freshly fried for us, the mushy peas and tartare sauce were equally as tasteless, the chips, although freshly fried were a little undercooked. All in all our £40.50 meal we travelled miles across London to enjoy after several years of not being here was truly disappointing. As a resident of Maida Vale in the 80 's and 90 's, we have been patrons of Seashell since the days when Princess Diana and her children frequented this establishment. I 'm without a doubt this establishment is no longer run by the previous owners, as the level of service and the quality of food is no comparison. Needless to say I will no be recommending Seashell or visiting again."

"We escaped the main body of the flare itself, only the tail end of the energy wafted across our planet, like the smoke from next door’s bonfire drifting into your garden on a Saturday afternoon. It made for a spectacular lightshow, the midnight sky illuminated as beams of super-heated gas shot across the heavens, streaks of light, sunset orange at first then a brighter yellow then finally bright white, the intensity of the energy increased and blended with our atmosphere. No sound, not at first at least. The bright streaks overhead moved in silence, from what seemed like directly overhead then off into the distance, they looked to disappear over the horizon as they shot off into space. Then came the noise, it sounded like distant thunder to begin with, a low rumble that grew and swirled around the busy sky. The streaks overhead increased in size, until the whole sky flashed white with intermittent blinding explosions within the magnetic field around our Earth. We stood and watched open mouthed, as the universe gave us a stark reminder of our place within it. It acted as a global EMP, frying solenoids like bacon all over the world, we lost almost all electricity overnight. Weeks passed before the power started to come back on, clean became available and the world was settling back down to a variation of normal. It took years to properly rebuild, decades of struggle, but now some forty years later we have new technology borne out of the flare, electromagnetic propulsion was fast becoming a reality. New discoveries were being made decades after the event, only last week a chap in Germany had learned how to ignite a fire underwater, a remarkable, if somewhat pointless endeavour. All of this leads us to here, where the next great discovery happens, today, to a man called Jack."

"Booked a table in the attic for dinner. We were promptly surrounded by half cut punters shouting and swearing who had been diverted up from the bar downstairs. This is unacceptable and disrespectful to customers who have come specially for dinner. It should either be...a restaurant space or a pub, not both. It didn 't get much better... I 'm bring generous to say the servers were poor at their job. The were disinterested to the point of being arrogant. Very much gave the impression of being students who had no interest in doing their job. Put down soup and dessert without noticing we had no spoons!! The table next to us had to repeatedly go to the bar to ask for missing cutlery too. After having to go to the sering station to ask for condiments we were given an empty salt shaker! Food was literally dumped down and slid along the table, canteen style. The mussels starter was the only good part of the meal but spoiled a bit by the fact the clueless servers didn 't bring a dish for used shells, meaning I couldn 't really get into the sauce beneath (leaving aside the fact they didn 't bring a spoon! and there was no hot water brought to clean my fingers. Fish and chips was passable but overpriced at £14. Worth a tenner at best. The 'mountain burger ' was an absolute joke. It looked like a kids meal from Wetherspoons; similar to the picture below by another reviewer. The burger and chips were straight from the frozen catering catalogue. The night was summed up by the horrible sight of the boss publicly dressing down one of the servers in the middle of the restaurant. He was almost face to face with her, puffing his feathers out and finger pointing. At one point a customer who was walking past to the toilet tried to intervene because it was getting so uncomfortable. He was responded to with : it 's OK, I 'm the owner. I don 't care how poorly somebody is at doing their job, nobody has the right to take liberties like that. The irony is that he was obviously pulling her up for something to do with the tables of drinkers as he clearly hadn 't noticed the standard of restaurant food and service. On that note; it 's not a good look for an owner to be boozing in his own establishment and rise to his feet to play the boss card just to look like a big shot."
