"My friends and I had probably the worst “hospitality” experience due to the manager of this restaurant. First, the restaurant run out of water. Secondly, we have been asked to move table after 20min seating) since the manager had double booked our seats. We kindly accepted to move and they mentioned “the drinks will be on the house”. During the diner, we heard clients complaining about a similar double booking of table and the staff were trying to move the clients to different locations. The peak of this extremely poor experience was when receiving the bill. The drinks were added so we kindly asked the manager to remove the bottle of wine £50) and keep their word. The manager, coming to our table half hangover) replied we should be happy to have a table on walking and mentioned “I cannot remove the bottle of wine but I will give you 1x sparkling water and 1x bottle of Coca-Cola for free”. We were shocked and told him to call the “proper” responsible person of the restaurant assuming it couldn’t be him managing this place of high-end reputation. Unfortunately, he arrogantly said I’m the manager of this restaurant. This is all I can do for you today. Long story short, we were so angry with the manager behaviour that we said “fix the bill now or we will walkout without paying”, to which he reply “feel free to get out” and literally left the restaurant without telling anything to his staff. We had to wait 10min to understand he actually left the restaurant and left his team to deal with the situation without any feedback whatsoever. Thankfully the team sort it out instead, they were wonderful and apologies on behalf of the manager who apparently gets lot of amazing reviews reading the previous comments. Great food, beautiful decoration and a manager to take care off immediately!"

Excellent atmosphere and nice interior design for a cosy dinner or brunch. Good date night place. I've only tried one dish, but it was balanced and tasty. I loved the tea.

The attention to detail was on point. The manager and the staff were very helpful and welcoming. I can honesty say I would go there again and again. The food was really tasty and interesting. Definitely recommend here for hanging out at the bar with mates or a lovely meal with loved ones.

We sat outside for brunch on a weekend, tables are tight packed, we could all hear each other’s conversations. Service is slow and staff are not very friendly. Took ages to get a menu. Food is very basic, eggs royale were ok, pancakes were not great, they were completely drowned in compote. Wouldn’t really recommend.

Recently held a big birthday party at BBB upstairs in the ballroom. I couldn’t fault it! The staff are incredible and could not do enough for me! Everyone commented on how helpful and friendly the waiting staff were, Tansie and Daisi worked so hard to ensure everything went to plan and it was an absolute pleasure to deal with them all. The venue is beautiful and in the most perfect location. Thank you so much!

If you want a unique venue to go for brunch, then Beach Blanket Babylon definitely ticks the box. It is a beautiful georgian mansion house with opulent Baroque style decor. We really did enjoy the vibe and atmosphere. The cocktails taste amazing and are so colourful. I tried several and really could not pick a favourite. The brunch menu itself is a bit limited in choice, however we did enjoy the flavours in most of the dishes. The staff are very friendly, however there was a mix up with a couple of the dishes we ordered (they did offer to rectify). We got a sneak peak of the upstairs function rooms and the cave-like rooms downstairs too and I will definitely keep this in mind in the future w...

I should’ve trusted the bad reviews about the manager being rude and disrespectful. I went ahead and booked a table for two. Upon arrival, all was perfect, the ambience was superb, our waiter was exceptional, and the lady serving us drinks was excellent. The food here is exceptional. However, once we ordered our dessert, another waiter told us that the manager had asked us to leave the table. The shock was an understatement, and we asked her why. She said that they needed our table back and people were waiting, and she told us she disagreed with what she’d been asked to tell us, but she had to. We then asked her if we could finish our desert then leave. She went and came back then told us th...
