"Hopefully, this review will be balanced and fair.....I was so excited about this evening, a meal on a tube for an underground enthusiast on her birthday. I think you need a mix of great food, service, ambiance and value..... I know my daughter had emailed...ahead and asked for specific seats... when we arrived, we were not even on tube seats, but rickety, incredibly uncomfortable wooden chairs and a table at such an angle, we kept having to rescue the food. We asked (we were pretty much the first people on), if we could sit on a table that was actually a tube seat and the woman was really rude to us. The service was mediocre... the food was slow (i do understand this isn't a commercial kitchen), and the only warm course was cold. We were not asked throughout the meal how it was (I suspect due to our initial request to change seats). The guy in charge was friendly though The food did taste good, but I would expect that for the price. The menu was interesting and we cleared our plates each course A lot of the time, the serving staff looked bored and redundant when they could have been more proactive...(they never once tried to offer additional drinks which would be a lucrative opportunity) When we were offered bread to start, she barked just take one' which was quite amusing.... We had too leave as soon as the food had finished as the chairs were so uncomfortable our backs were hurting and legs gone numb (first world problems i know). The music was so loud too. They did make an effort at the end with a candle which was a nice touch I think this is a sound concept, and. with some finesse of the timings, service and comfort, could score a 5...... I wouldn't go back, The thing that makes me sad is that my 19 year old daughter had spent the £100 on this meal for us and was gutted as she felt she had let me down... which wasn't the case at all"

such a beautiful concept and amazing eating. a mixture of various South American foods by talented chef. service was friendly and informative. the train itself is brilliant and only looked fantastically illuminated by candlelight. the meal and the drinks were favorable and it was. a beautiful experience. I would do it again.

I loved the setting and the staff but sadly the food was average and a HUGE disappointment... our starter was tiny but tasty, main course looked like slop served in a bowl with a sliver of meat (and I mean sliver) and dessert was...basic.... I've been to many supper clubs and this one I'm skip.... unless you have a burning desire to eat in a tube carriage.

After reading recent reviews was a bit concerned about what to expect therefore really surprised about the wonderful evening that we had. Would recommend that it you want something a little different that you go and see for yourself. Definitely worth a visit. Thank you...for amazing food and wonderful venue Only reason not scored as 5 as feel that wine was overpriced so maybe a slight reconsideration of the cost of this would improve the experience But I will be telling friends and family to go if they get the opportunity

Remember those childhood years when your mum used to feed you saying here comes the choo choo train? Well you can now actually take it one step further and experience eating on an old Victoria tube carriage with Supperclub.tube. Set within the grounds of The...Pump House Museum sits an old disused 1968 Victoria Line tube carriage. Upon this carriage you can dine. This was a commute food journey of delight. Siting in the carriage felt really odd eating at a table laid out as if you were in a restaurant but what an experience. As this is a supperclub you do join other guests but this adds to the fun. The food was delicious. But the best thing about this train is there was no delays. I highly r...

now known as supperclub@tube and offers a South American tasting menu with 6 curses this is a great place to eat. the ambiente of a former Victoria Line Tube Car cannot be tasted for everyone, but with so many memories of the use of the line. from the day it started, it was a fun experience. the tasting menu was excellent. possibly the main, a lamb bowl with chocolate, can be improved by using more sauce, as it was a touch dry. that would be the only criticism. the personal was obviously happy to mark someone birthday and the whole cricket joined singing happy birthday. the dessert has been labeled on a special plate. the weinlist is limited, but there is a passable Argentine red. You want a...

We booked the £48 Colombian-inspired tasting menu for the last Friday in May. The atmosphere built as the night went on, with the conversation getting louder, the jazz music getting crazier, and the lights getting dimmer, creating a really good buzz. The food itself was...a very high quality, especially considering it’s not being cooked in your typical restaurant kitchen. It was certainly worthy of a high-end place. My favourites were the medium-rare beef, and the seafood dish. We had a complimentary glass of Prosecco and then two bottles of very reasonably priced NZ sauvignon blanc. The only downside was some of the service. The waiters weren’t proactive in offering drinks (we had to wave d...

The meal started really well – we were greeted at the entrance of the underground carriage by the host and a shot fruit juice, then taken to our table. We started with some great local beers and the restaurants own take on a Cosmo cocktail....I was having the fish menu and my boyfriend had the veggie option. The starter arrived – prawn salad for me and roasted tomato salad for my boyfriend, they were both very good. However it all fell down a bit when the mains arrived, the side dishes were spicy rice and cucumber salad which were perfectly fine, but there could have been some more veggies. For the central part of the main I had seabass which tasted good, but maybe could have been seasoned m...
