"On a Sunday afternoon in Canary Wharf, my companion and I were exploring the Light Art Installations in the area. The weather was cold and windy, so when we saw a sign outside the Henry Addington advertising 'Winter Warmers,' we were excited to try them out. The first item on the menu was Mulled Wine Cider, which we thought would be perfect to help us warm up. I approached the bar where some staff members were in the middle of a training or discussion session, but one of the barmen kindly took my order. However, to my disappointment, he informed me that they were not serving mulled wine and suggested they should remove it from the specials board. I was surprised by this decision, especially considering the chilly weather and the fact that it was only the beginning of winter. Instead, he offered me tea or coffee as alternatives, which did not quite compare to the comforting warmth of mulled wine. It made me wonder if they would also remove popular summer drinks once the season changes. Overall, it was a letdown to not be able to enjoy a classic winter beverage in a bustling bar and restaurant located on a cold and windy corner."

"I visited family in London from Ireland, and we mostly stuck around Islington to minimise travelling around cus of the whole covid concerns. The Bull had *the* best vibe of anywhere we went in Islington, had really good music, fantastic drinks and very friendly staff....Special shout out to Alex who was a great personality serving us for the evening, made a delicious drinks recommendation and also saved the night when one of our group left their scarf behind (one that they have had for like years or something) and Alex came running down the road to find us and return the scarf!

"Dukes is a spacious restaurant that we stumbled upon during our long weekend in Sidmouth. We made a reservation for Sunday lunch (they also offer roasts), but opted for a couple of bowls of salt, chilli, and ginger squid instead. The squid, mostly whole baby squid, were delicious with the ginger and soy dipping sauce. It would have been nice to have a wedge of lemon and a sweet chilli dip as well. For our main courses, we had the traditional battered cod and chips and a fish pie. Both dishes were tasty, but I wish the fish pie had more variety of fish, as it only included salmon and white fish; some prawns and monkfish would have been a nice addition, especially considering the price of £19. We also enjoyed a non-alcoholic IPA and a cola, bringing our total bill to a somewhat expensive £66. The service was good, and we appreciated that automatic service charging is not customary in Sidmouth. We left a £7 cash tip for our efficient server. Sidmouth is a dog-friendly village, so be prepared to dine alongside well-behaved canine companions."

"Meal Type: Dinner Price per Person: £60–70 Food Rating: 5/5 Service Rating: 5/5 Atmosphere Rating: 5/5 Recommended Dish: Fresh Oysters I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant for dinner. The overall cost per person ranged from £60 to £70, which I found to be a fair price considering the exceptional quality of the food, service, and atmosphere. The food was top-notch, earning a perfect score of 5 out of 5. I highly recommend trying the fresh oysters—they were simply exquisite. The service was equally impressive, with attentive staff who made us feel welcome and ensured that our experience was enjoyable. The atmosphere was delightful, creating a lovely ambiance that enhanced our meal. Overall, I would gladly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience."

"Spent 50 mins at Salts bar and bought Scampi and fries (fries being sold separately which were expensive) So not only did we feel short changed with the portion sizes at stupid expensive prices we get £100 parking fine a few days later for parking in the signed customer parking I had to come onto Trip advisor to find others had had the same dating back to 2019!! I contacted the info placed on others replies re contacting [hidden email] and the fine was removed very quickly but why should I have to do this?? Clearly Salts you are not putting into practice and help for customers if I see complaints on Trip adviser complaining of the same issue 5yrs ago! I appreciate that you are facing a school so you have put this in place but you made absolutely no effort to tell us on arrival, when ordering at the bar, No signage on the bar, no signage in the car park on the door etc Putting your reg in to prevent a fine is not the norm so if a patron parks in customer parking then you should be making the effort to inform customers that you have this in place, clearly Salts you are not putting into practice and help for customers. Removing the fine retrospectively has left a mediocre experience into a 1 star really peeved off experience and will not visit again Now I know why it was quiet in there on a Friday Afternoon, not exactly a welcoming visit."

"We booked a table for six, for our mothers 80th Birthday treat, but left disappointed. The service and some of the food was way below what we had expected. Two small round tables had been pushed together to accommodate us, not ideal. We were told that we would have the champagne and strawberry’s to start. We had all drank the champagne before the strawberries arrived. The only sandwich with any real flavour was the smoked salmon. We were told we could have more sandwiches, when we asked they took over an hour. Teas arrived very late and we had eaten misting the food beforehand. Birthday cake placed on table without any kind of celebratory effort. Waited 30 minutes for knife to cut cake. One of the staff wearing a ‘G’ badge was wonderful, sadly others seemed less interested with one boardering on officious."

"Between October 2019 and January 2020, I found myself working in Hammersmith at a job that I hated. The workload was completely unmanageable so every day in the office was frantic. I worked flat-out but at the end of each day, I hadn’t got any nearer to getting on top of my workload than I was at the start of the day. This was a miserable chapter in my life to be sure but one of the few good things about this period was that I discovered Bäkehaus, a German bakery and coffee shop. My place of work was located just behind King Street so I used to escape my desk at lunchtime to go to Bäkehaus for something to eat. This restaurant became my little sanctuary during this time, a place of calm and cosiness which was the perfect antidote to my horrible office. As the name suggests, Bäkehaus bake their own fresh bread every day. In addition to bread, there are pastries, cakes, filled baguettes, salads, fresh oven-baked pizza and hot dogs available to buy. The food here is fantastic. I usually opted for a baguette and my favourite was the chicken and avocado, which was crammed with thick slices of both and garnished with salad leaves. The baguette bread is just as it should be: crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The salads are really good, too. They usually consist of the same contents as the baguettes, except they’re served in a box without the bread. I used to like the chicken and avocado salad, too (what can I say, I’m a creature of habit! , and thought the little pot of balsamic vinaigrette included in the box was a really nice touch; it’s lovely to drizzle on your salad or to dunk a freshly-baked bread roll into. My only grumble about the lunch options was that they didn’t have many sides to go with a baguette or a salad. They only sell one flavour of crisps but even these weren’t always available and the only other option was a yoghurt and granola pot, served with either chopped strawberry or mango. The yoghurt was delicious but not something I wanted to eat every day so it would have been nice if there were some other options available, for example soup of fresh fruit. I only tried the pizza once but this was a hit, too. Served piping hot out of the oven, you get a very large slice for a reasonable price. I had the pepperoni topping and was really impressed with it: picture a crispy crust and strings of gooey mozzarella as you take a bite. There are lots of other toppings to try as well if you don’t fancy pepperoni. I didn’t try any of the hot dogs because I was trying to eat healthily (and they are also quite pricey but I definitely want to go back to try one because they looked delicious. They serve a really good cup of coffee that is presented to you in a modern china cup and saucer (better than the paper cups you get in some other establishments and the hot chocolate is rich and velvety and a lovely treat on a cold winter’s day. A perfect companion to one of Bäkehaus’ hot drinks is a slice of one of their freshly baked cakes. Actually, slab might be a better noun to use rather than slice because the cakes are enormous and you get a really big piece for your money. I tried the apple pie which is really good; the pastry is subtly sweet and there a big chunks of apple inside. As I mentioned above, the atmosphere in Bäkehaus is lovely, especially in the run up to Christmas, which is when I visited most often. The staff greeted me with a smile and were always helpful and polite. The restaurant is lit with warm yellow lighting and was decorated with lots of white fairy lights for the festive season. When looking from the inside out on to the cold blue light of King Street, it felt really cosy inside. Added to this, Christmas classics like “Jingle Bell Rock” and “Let It Snow” played on the stereo, which gave it an almost magical feel and many times I didn’t want to leave. Bäkehaus is a real gem offering something a little bit different in terms of food and atmosphere compared to the other usual suspects that appear on King Street. I quit my awful job at the end of January and am much happier in my new role. I’m so grateful I discovered Bäkehaus because it was a sanctuary for me during this time and I’ll always have fond memories of it."

"We stopped in at Daly's for a pre-theatre dinner. The staff was very friendly and the service was good. We started with the hummus. It was fantastic. We had a very generous portion, but they didn't provide much bread or veggies for it, so we had to ask for more bread. They charged us 4 pounds for the extra bread. A bit extreme. My wife ordered the chicken shawarma and I had the tortellini. We agreed that the chicken shawarma was one of the best chicken shawarmas we've ever had. It was absolutely delicious.....really, really good. The tortellini was average. It was literally smothered in a very bland, common red sauce. I was very disappointed I didn't order the chicken shawarma, too. So, we would highly recommend Daly's, if you get the chicken shawarma!"

"Whilst on a short break near Whitby we walked into the town on a sunny hot day. Whilst walking round the centre we happened accross this , what looked like a small tea room, with a dog friendly sign in the window. This'll do we said and were pleasantly surprised to be met by a lovelly waitress who showed us to a table towards the rear which was lovely bright and cool, indicating a table which she said would be handy for the dogs to lie down. I ordered the fish and chips and my wife ordered loaded chips. The fish was huge. Fresh and beautifully cooked and the chips were real chips not out the freezer as is so often the case. Easily the best fish and chips I've had for a long long time. The staff were attentive, helpfull and pleasant. The whole experience a very positive one. Thank you. We will definitely return."

"We were staying along the road from this establishment for a week, and booked a meal for our last night. They were fully booked but managed to slot us in earlier (6pm). So make sure you book in plenty time. I ordered breaded Brie with Cranberry sauce. My partner passed on having a starter. They were small but tasted lovely along with the side salad. Set me up for the main course Chicken Goujons and chips. There were 3 massive Goujons on the plate along with skin on chips. My partner had fish and chips. Both meals were lovely. We will go back again when we are next back in the area."

"This will be the strangest review. I am reviewing Henry Moss. I worked for Henry in the early when he had the shops in Carnarby St, and the warehouse. The showroom was in Gt Portland St. It was a wonderful job. I remember driving Henry around in his white Jaguar to and fro from Carnarby St to the showroom in Gt Portland St. I remember the faces of the staff but can\'t remember the names. I remember going to his house in Hampstead for a party. I would love to meet up with Henry and chat over old times. He was a superb boss. I live in Lincolnshire and own a holiday lodge park. Henry taught me much without knowing. my email is [email protected]. I just hope this reaches Henry and we can meet up."

"We have always enjoyed having lunch here, with great views, and tables outside in the summer. Our favourites have been the club sandwich and the fish sandwich usually excellent quaility, perfectly cooked and generously filled, making them great value. However we had a couple of visits where the quality was not as good, the sandwiches were clumsily put together and the chicken was dry, or there was too much, or over cooked batter on the fish. We put this down to junior staff being in charge when the main chef was away, and we still kept coming, hoping. So we visited again and tried the new menu. It looks as if many of the new items are designed simply to re use sunday roast leftovers. The beef roll (for £8! was just a pile of dry sliced beef and lots of stuffing in a stale roll. The imaginative concept of a yorkshire pudding wrap was ruined by it being full of leftover veg and dry meat. A lunch wrap with chunks of recycled parsnips and carrots, green beans, huge wads of stuffing and more dry meat was a surprise, and not a good one. We understand that in the current economic climate it is important not to waste food. But we wish that better control of sunday lunch leftovers would allow this great clubhouse to go back to making the fantastic fresh sandwiches we have enjoyed so much in the past."

"Last week we held our Goostrey Probus annual dinner at the Swettenham Arms with nearly 40 people attending. Having worked with the events team and planned the event for some time we were able to select our meals from a choice of three or four starters, mains and desserts plus tea and coffee. We pre-selected our menus, provided a table and seating plan and everything went according to plan and bang on time. The Lovell Suite, (which has been extensively redecorated), looked brilliant and the tables were beautifully laid out. We also had use of the private bar facilities in the room. The food and service were excellent and we would certainly recommend this venue for such events. We were brilliantly looked after by the Events team, led by Jodie. Thanks for making this a great success and see you again in the future."

"I went to this restaurant with a friend after a long time since our last visit, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was even better than I remembered! It was a quiet lunch time, and it felt like the place was reserved just for us as we were seated upstairs with only two other tables being served. Although the food took a bit of time to arrive, the service and quality were well worth the wait. I had the Puerto Spritz and fish & chips, both of which were delicious. I regret not remembering our waitress's name, but the manager clearly valued her hard work, so I hope she receives the recognition she deserves."

"Do not come here! Absolutely shocking service and staff attitude in this establishment. My partner and I ordered our food, 40 minutes went by and tables seated after us were receiving their orders before we had so much as a starter. It became very clear they had not passed our ticket to the kitchen. When I asked one of their teenage waiters what was the hold up was, there was absolutely no concern for issue. It then took a further 15 minutes for a manager to resolve the problem. Today we tried again as the restaurant has a nice outdoor seating area, however, upon our entry to the bar area no one came to seat us or even acknowledge we were standing there. We left and will never return."

"Not many cafes or restaurants open in Thurso on a Monday so we opted for Y’Not because we have been there a few times in the past. The restaurant and toilets were very clean. There was only one lad serving, clearing tables, taking orders, dealing with queries and making drinks. There was another staff member around but I’m not too sure what his role was. I was there with my husband and our two year old and nine month old granddaughters. We were presented with 4 adult menus. No idea why we would need 4. I asked for a child menu which quickly arrived. We ordered drinks but the coffees aren’t exactly full. I also ordered a bottle of water which arrived with no glass. I asked for a glass and was presented with a whisky tumbler! We ordered a child’s macaroni, a steak ciabatta and a Highland burger. We then waited approximately 50 minutes for it to arrive even though only one table had food during that time. When the food did arrive the steak ciabatta didn’t have fried onions or corn on the cob as stated on the menu. There was a generous helping of onion relish though. The meal could have been hotter but it was really, really tasty and the steak was cooked the way I liked it and the ciabatta was packed with steak. It would have been better with thicker chips and not stringy fries. The Highland burger was also tasty but it was only warm. The kids macaroni tasted like ready made sauce and had no cheese on top. It was almost cold. We asked for a second cappuccino but it didn’t arrive. Overall, we will come back. The food is good, just not hot enough and it takes far too long to arrive at the table. The front of house staff needs assistance. He’s definitely over worked at busy times. This could be a great restaurant if the niggles are sorted."
