"meanwhile through a busy week, I decided to be a little bit cheeky by jumping off the work for a few hours. a quick text to my friend and a finished customer meet later, I was on the way to a lazy lunch. we heard the buzz over the recently reworked white swan at chancery lane. herr flavour and I were once regular and could not wait to see the new version. Unfortunately for him he was gone on the business and let the ladies explore in his absentness. this former irrigation hole was historically a popular hot spot of the fleet street pressebrigade before it turned into a posh pub and dining room. now again opened as pub and cophouse, the natives are already in the waiting line to come. at the entrance were the delicious aromen from the dining room to sue us up. rule number one of the lazy lunches dictates, however, that a frecher g t has to be consumed before eating in a sleepy manner. gin is something that the white **** has in full! our sophisticated bartender led us to a Hendrick ginn, served long and chilled with a gurkenband. this is the point! the new chophouse theme was certainly well received. past are the white tablecloths and wallpapers, replaced by trendy exposed bricks and deep wooden tables. this beautiful room is available for private rental and would be a great place to impress your friends or colleagues. the menu consists of pub favorites, cuts from British finest meat and fresh fish from south coast day boats and British fishing ports. if mr. flavor had been here, he would have made a beeenstock for the 45-day white park sirloin with béarnaise and large chips. we believed a little easier. the salt baked celeriac, blue monday cheese and kale salat with chestnuts was divine and flavored with a beautiful earthy seasonality. my friend ordered iron age ‘Pick and Brunch’, pickles and English senf, which came in the form of a terrine. I could not resist helping me to a greedy unhappiness. the albarinho was certainly a suitable partner for following the fishing nets. fluffy fishcake with fertile tomatenrelish were mouth-watery crunchy and bursting with terribleness. I had never ordered gurnard before and his fleshy texture was beautifully complemented with braided fennel. the big chips were absolutely crushed and let us dessert without room. as much as I enjoy a girly lunch, it is time like this when I miss my pretty man and his inexorable appetit. a quick espresso later I was moved back to the office with an earlyling in my step and a very satisfied little bit. I cannot expect to introduce my customers into this wonderful new venue, which is available for 7 days in the week."

"I was expecting an average afternoon tea given this is a hotel and also being days before lockdown I could forgive them if it was below par but this was hands down the best afternoon tea I have ever had. And I have had alot of afternoon teas and it wasnt the fact that it came with Dom Perignon. The cakes, scones and sandwiches were heavenly to eat. Amazing flavours perfectly paired. Ive already told my husband we will be going back for my birthday"

"The food at this restaurant is excellent and the service is friendly, although it can be a little slow at times. However, it is not a major issue. Overall, the value for the price is very good and I would definitely return."

"We had made a reservation at this restaurant for a special occasion two months in advance. The day before our reservation, Open Table asked us to confirm our booking, which we did. However, when we arrived at the restaurant on the day of our reservation, we found that it had closed down, ruining our special occasion. Today, Open Table sent me an email thanking me for dining at the restaurant and asking for a review. I checked the Open Table website and saw that the restaurant was no longer available for booking, indicating that Open Table must be aware of its closure. It is disappointing that Open Table did not inform us of this closure and continues to act as if the restaurant is still open. This lack of communication greatly affected our experience and I will be more cautious in relying on Open Table for future bookings."

"I have been a frequent customer at Yumn Brasserie for many years one year actually getting food poisoning from this restaurant due to the chicken which was not cooked properly. However as the manager has been very nice I have always come back due to myself being a Croydon local I enjoy helping out local business. On recent occasion as you can see from the photos I booked today for 2:15pm. I was running late made several calls and went on the chat to let them know I was running late and if there was a grace period. I ended up getting to the restaurant 10 mins late in the end. Once I got there I was greeted by a woman and gentleman. The woman said you must leave we are closing. I stated look at my booking the man tried to look on the system as again the woman tried to usher us out the restaurant. As I have worked in customer service I said to them hey let’s just come to the agreement there could have been something wrong with bookings on your side and let me re-book to celebrate the new year in with my family. She said I am not too sure the gentleman looked at the bookings and said we can squeeze you in. Then the manager walked in I explained the situation and the bad customer service and he said well do you want the booking then? I thought personally this was very bad customer service as the manager knows we are locals and we come to this restaurant every year to support their business. He could have made things right by offering us a complimentary drink or discount on our food. Unfortunately, I will not be dining here again. And Yumn Beasserie has lost me as a customer due to the level of service."

"We came early for a pre concert meal. The staff were welcoming and the restaurant has was already quite busy. We ordered a glass of house wine of good quality a main dish, side salad and desert. We both chose the fresh=made ravioli with crab meat with a lobster bisque sauce, which was delicious, along with a very fresh mozzarella/tomato salad. A shared ice cream desert rounded off a very enjoyable meal. Service was professional and friendly. Highly recommended."

"Today, 8 of us visited for lunch and had a great experience. The staff were pleasant, the service was excellent, and there was a great selection on the menu. The prices were very affordable and the restaurant was clean. We can't wait to come back and try the evening menu. Best wishes to Ray, Ciaran, and the whole team. We highly recommend this restaurant and think it is a great addition to the craft village in Derry city centre. We will definitely be back soon!"

"We had booked for the two Course menu as two families of four. Amazing value for money and food of high standard. Our waiter was outstanding. Made the experience. Efficient, polite, entertaining couldn’t do enough for us. Disappointed we didn’t get his name as would like to acknowledge him personally."

"Such a beautiful hotel! From the moment we walked in we felt so at ease and well looked after. Every single staff member had a smile on their faces and nothing was too much trouble. Sol checked us in late in the evening and could not have been friendlier. He told us a little about the hotel and made us feel really special! The room was very large and beautifully decorated. The bathroom had a large shower and a stand alone bath (which could probably fit a whole family.. . The breakfast staff was super lovely and accommodating, topping up our teas coffees and checking up on us. When we came down for breakfast the second day, Ian remembered our hot drinks of choice and it was brought over to us before we even had a chance to ask for it. If you're looking for exceptional service in Birmingham's most beautiful hotel, this is it. The whole hotel is extremely clean, the food and drinks are delicious and the service is superb. I wish I had time to come every weekend!"

"Food absolutely lovely, can't fault that, but why the service charge, and not give you the chance to tip by choice ?... This is added on the bill but optional, I know that, and is in the small print along with allergy info. I would have left the same tip anyway. But 10% on the drinks, when we sat in the bar, and when the place is actually a pub. That's 45p on every pint and 64p on a glass of wine, for a total of about five steps from the bar to the table. But what grates me is the first round I ordered at the bar and carried it to the table myself, but was still charged for my own service. This spoilt the night and I wouldn't go there again just out of principle. So I recommend when you want a drink, go to the bar and pay there. Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2"

"Overall it could have been a 5 star experience but they made a few major mistakes. Food is good Prices are fair Staff is friendly Went there with 4 people, only 2 drank wine. Staff did not ask who drinks wine and who not. Table was full of food, drinks but the staff did not remove the wine glasses of the people who didn't drank wine. In a gourmet restaurant I expect the staff to show some attention. Staff also did not noticed that water was empty, so we had to refill by ourselves. You can't put a bottle holder next to the table and then let your guests serve themselves. Staff started get the store ready to close while people were still eating (it was around 10pm). Overall a very nice place with much potential but atm I would not come back here."

"I love this hotel and location, so decided to meet my parents who live in Brighton at the restaurant for a lovely Sunday lunch so we headed down on London. On arrival the restaurant didn't have our booking even thought it was confirmed through Open Table, they told me this happens all the time . It took 15 minutes of back and forth to get this sorted and they squeezed us in, and it killed the experience the table was right by the kitchen door and we ended up having to keep moving to let people past, it was a shame. The food was good but after the problems the experience was marred. Bering made to feel like this was my fault will prevent me returning again, they have lost a very loyal guest."

"Parking is quite convenient, though on a sunny weekend we had arrived by 9am which was adequate to ensure availability of parking. By the time that we left at 11am, there wasn 't really much parking left. We had breakfast, which isn 't really what Rick Stein 's is about (that 's seafood), but it is a restaurant with a good deal of visual drama of dining in the restaurant area with the 'Harbour View '. Certainly, climbing up the stairs and passing the kitchen to be greeted with the view of the harbour is fantastic. There weren 't any real complaints about the food, which were all very good ingredients. The coffee was good and the brewed coffee offered complimentary refills. The **** mary was really good. The children were catered for on the same menu and they seemed to scoff their food too ages ranged from four to thirteen! For me, the pick of the dishes was the crab omelette, a must have. Service... they were all very nice and professional but had a tendency to gaze downwards rather than scanning the room, a personal pet peeve. Overall, it 's certainly a lovely place to be on a sunny Sunday morning and I would visit for lunch next time."

"Second visit to Hotel du Vin after a few years for a special anniversary dinner and unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations. Had to ask 3 times for water to be brought to table but starters arrived promptly. I had a reasonable sized portion of mussels but my boyfriend had the parfait which unfortunately came with a side of plastic wrapper. I had duck shepherds pie which tasted ok but lacked a little seasoning. Then bf ordered A £20 main only to be told sides needed to be ordered extra as it came with nothing. Couldn't fault dessert but was disappointed when someone took my glass away and didn't bother to see if I wanted another drink. But At £10 a glass of wine I suppose it saved me some money! Maitre D was very apologetic about starter disaster but was not offered anything. Meal was overpriced for what it was and poor service means I will not be rushing back here."

"My entire family follows Tom on Instagram and we've all admired his culinary skills. The unforgettable tasting menu we just experienced was truly worth it. It’s hard to pick a standout dish because everything was fantastic, including the delicious dark sourdough bread. The staff was wonderful, and I loved the ambiance of the restaurant. We will definitely be returning. Thank you. — Alan Tate"
