"Booked afternoon tea for me and a friend after looking at several excellent trip advisor reviews (I should have read more! . We paid £32.95 each plus £8.95 each for small bottle (one glass size of Prosecco We thought from the menu that we would get a variety of sandwiches but only got a choice of 1 each (2 fillings had a supplementary charge . When the food arrived we were soooo disappointed. The sandwiches were incredibly ordinary. No fancy bread or cut nicely. The ‘home made’ cakes on top were visually boring. A couple of fairy cakes with watery icing and 2 pieces of very small millionaires shortbread that looked ‘old’. The scones however looked and tasted lovely. And 2 teacups with very small portions of Eton mess were also nice. There was absolutely NOTHING special that warranted such a huge price! Nothing at all. We asked for the cakes to be boxed up and we ate them on our train journey home. The fairy cake was just ok and the millionaires shortbread did indeed taste old. On the way back to the train station we called at another place (Mama Doreen’s emporium for a drink and the afternoon teas that they were serving were incredible. We found out they were £25 each ! I don’t believe in posting a bad review on here without making the place aware first. I’ve sent them a message but had no reply. Hence I have no qualms posting this review."

"Friday evening 19th October and we visited this restaurant for dinner. It is located in Mermaid Quay and overlooks Roald Dahl Plass and the Welsh Millennium Centre. We did not have a reservation, so luckily they were able to accommodate the seven of us. We were greeted at the door, warmly welcomed, and shown to our large circular table. We were presented with the menus, there was the a la carte menu as well as a set price two and three course menus and the drinks menu. This is an Italian, Spanish and Welsh flavour to the food served here. While we decided on what food to order we ordered some drinks from a friendly good humoured waiter. We finally decided on what to order which was a range of starters including garlic mushrooms, chicken liver pate and homemade soup. My starter, the soup, leek and potato was delicious. Home made Welsh faggots proved to be rather popular with a number of us ordering them. It was unfortunate that there were insufficient faggots for us all so a couple of us reselected the chicken breast. When our food was served it was delicious the chicken breast was succulent and tender and the faggots were very much appreciated. There is certainly a sense of the theatrical, dramatic and the zany about the decor here. From chandeliers, Greek statues, theatre curtains, unusual lights and other oddities, they all added to the atmosphere here. We really did enjoy our evening here, reasonably priced, quality delicious food, attentive and amusing staff and the over the top decor."

"So I went to Hache in two minds, not sure if I wanted a burger meal for lunch and came away feeling satisfied with my choice at the end. I had looked up 'interesting places to eat at Camden Town ' on Google and Hache 's name had been within the top 10 and so my friend and I decided to try it out. Locating the street where Hache is, on a Saturday afternoon was easy enough, but finding a spot to park the car was not. We found a place, but it was a bit of a walk. The restaurant facade is non-assuming and they put out a small black board with the Hache name outside. There are a couple of interesting places around it which seem worth exploring too. Even for a bright spring afternoon, the place is quite dark inside. Finding our table took a second. The place is small and on busy evenings, I would expect a queue. The menu is the same as that on their website, except that the lamb burger is missing. I ordered the chicken and bacon havana club burger. My friend went for a steak mexican. The burgers do not come with fries and need to be separately ordered. We had the 'Hache Frites ' which is skinny fries. My burger was very good by itself. The avocados provided a very interesting texture in a traditional grilled chicken burger. I liked it. The fries were crispy. They do not provide any house mayonnaise or dips with the fries. These need to be separately ordered. Overall, I would say the place is worth a visit if you are in the Camden area, but not worth making a special plan just for it. I have had better burgers in London for the same price."
