"My family and I went for some “Lunch” at the Energy Café after a morning of walking around the Museum which was great. The service there was terrible and we felt like we were being rushed by the “Gentleman” behind the counter and then I had to shout at the girl at the till to make myself heard because of the Perspex screen between us, eventually I had to bend down and talk to her through the gap in the screen where she gave out the change. The food wasn’t great, my eldest hardly ate any of her Chicken and mine wasn’t very good either but my wife and my youngest daughter persevered with their pretend meat Lasagne. I then made the mistake of buying a cup of tea. It came in a metal teapot and it wasn’t until I started to pour it out that I realised that it was the weakest cup of tea I’d ever seen in my life, it looked like the tea bag had been used before. I even squeezed the tea bag out in the vain hope of making it stronger but to no avail, it was like dish water so in the end I didn’t drink it. We then went to the Natural history museum and after a walk around we got ourselves some drinks and found that the exact same food was being served here as well so I assume that the same catering company must supply the food for all three museums including the V&A. If this is the case then they seriously need to change their caterers."

This charming café offers a variety of delicious hot and cold dishes. The customer service is excellent and the staff are very friendly. The seating area in the middle of the museum is lovely.

Divided up into various subjects ie Space, Medicine, Home , engineering a wealth of information to view. Something for everyone. IMAX theatre to be recommend to view a film on Antarctica . Will definitely be returning.

The fish fingers and potato wedges were lovely. The chicken drumsticks and greens were good. The Sweetcorn were overcooked and yucky. The pepperoni on the pizza were bland (my 8 year old daughter said they should have been spicier). The garlic bread had no garlic flavour View menu

Wow, this restaurant is amazing! The food is fantastic, so tasty and fresh. It's also very affordable for central London. You have to try this place! We ordered three different fresh filled rolls and all of them were delicious. And they even serve a proper cup of tea! The staff was really helpful and friendly, the restaurant was clean and tidy, and the atmosphere was lovely. Thank you!

We went for a family lunch. The food prices and portion sizes were ridiculous. £7.50 for a small portion and £13.50 for a large portion of chicken cooked with peppers. My small portion consist of half a boneless chicken thigh yes half!!?? a couple of strips of peppers and nothing else. You can see the trained staff trying to portion control it was ridiculous. Side cooked cabbage was an extra £4.00. £11.50 for a chicken strip and chopped cabbage. Very poor value View menu

For a science-orientated museum, the in-house eateries offer a very poor selection of food and drink for those with (very common! dietary restrictions such as gluten. It said to ask a staff member for advice if you had allergies, which I did, and was met with a perplexed look, after which I was offered cabbage or chips. I like cabbage but it didn't really work alone or with chips, so I opted for the chips. They were cold and rubbery. Perhaps some scientific innovation could be applied to the menu and how to keep food hot.

Very poor selection of food and close to none in terms of healthy options. We ordered coffee, later followed by tea, soup and carrot cake. The coffee was bitter and cheap tasting; the tea unable to decode the brand had a unpleasant, artificial taste to it, far away from your classic Earl Gray and English Breakfast cuppa. The soup only came with white bread and dairy butter, the soup itself was unbelievably salty, shocking ! Moving to pudding, the carrot cake in itself would have been decent if fresh ! Taking advantage of a trapped audience is outrageous.
