Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings in Islington

Had my birthday dinner here. Ambiance was beautiful and good was delicious. Big thank you to our server Gigi who was so friendly and sweet.

Fabulous place. Highly recommend. Delicious cocktails!

We brought our toddlers, and they were very accommodating. Food was decent as well

Overpriced and not so great service. I ordered 2 eggs Benedict and the eggs were hard boiled. Really not a great experience considering I paid £16.50 for 2 eggs (boiled) on cold and hard to cut muffins with a bit of avocado e sauce. Spending total of £37 for 2 eggs, hash browns and a small bellini. Definitely the most expensive brunch I had so far. The place is cool to see and sit but I won’t go back for sure. 👍

Very nice restaurant with great food, good vegetarian options and friendly staff.

Interesting interior, ordered steak with bone marrow and chocolate cake, very tasty.

Lovely place to have brunch. Friendly service and neighborly vibes. It does get a bit busy though so in case you don’t like people, you’re probably better off swing by during off hours :)

We enjoyed food and atmosphere there very much, so we will visit again in the near future.

Very much enjoyed the 10th birthday for B&H! Had a great time made a birthday very special. The staff were so attentive like a well oiled machine!

A lovely spot for brunch, staff attentive and food good. Unsure if we got our correct entitlement for bottomless but staff were into the top ups throughout the session.

What a great bottomless brunch. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the drinks kept flowing. Special thanks to our waiter Matthew. We'll definitely be back.

Wedding reception, great atmosphere, lovely little venue ☺️

Atmosphere ok and setting nice but very poor food, so many better options in exmouth market

The vibe is great the food is not. I wish so badly this was a place I could add into the weekend rotation. The only reason to go back would be if it came under new management/ kitchen etc

We had our wedding at B&H and are so pleased we did! This is such a fun venue to get married at, and the team were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Highly recommend this to any couple looking for a gorgeous, fun, and chic wedding venue!

We held a private party for my wife's birthday...India and the team were epic as was the venue. Really, really great time, well worth booking this venue as it's truly unique...the club downstairs...well, you'll need to see for yourself!!

Brand new menu! The main was so delicious I even forgot to take a picture ^^ Just a perfect evening out

Lovely quirky place. We had a girls brunch, took our time… cocktails were very good, food was nice and service super friendly! Recommend for a chilled quality brunch.

The interior of this place is lovely but the food is distinctly average. £16 for a veggie breakfast which comprised of just 2 eggs, 1 piece of bread, half a mushroom, half a tomato, a couple of cubes of feta, about a teaspoon of mashed avocado and baked beans taking up most of the plate. Very unimpressed sadly.

Beautiful interior, lovely spot with great brunch and cocktails, Definitely worth a visit!

Love food here. Just amazing taste along with service. Recommended.

I hosted my best friend's bridal shower here in May. Great experience overall. They were amazing with dealing with the orders of 15 people and responding to my many questions. On the night, we had a dedicated waitress, which meant we did not have to wait around to get our drinks topped up or for our food to arrive. It really added to the experience. We were there until closing, and we did not feel rushed out. Beautiful decor and calming atmosphere.

We had our daughter's wedding reception there recently for 90+ people and it was absolutely fantastic! We took over the entire building and it all looked beautiful. All our guests loved the space and the staff were professional, helpful and efficient. Great service, really delicious food and generally a wonderful happy and relaxed atmosphere. Would absolutely recommend.

Excellent and friendly service and ambience, highly recommended 👌 👍🏼

Great brunch spot - quality food and multiple options for drinks all at reasonable prices. Very attentive staff and great service levels. Would definitely recommend

1000000% the best wedding we have been to! Yes we are biased as it was our daughter’s wedding but B&H were brilliant. From the pre wedding organising with India to the reception experience headed by Matt it was fantastic. So many guests commented on how lovely the venue was how friendly and attentive the staff were and how incredible the food and wine was. We are truly grateful for all that your staff did on that day. What a rockin party we had both above ground with our band then 11-1 down in da club Would recommend without hesitation. In fact very happy to be a reference for you guys Thanks so much Mike & Lisa xx

We recently visited B&H for a company event with more than 25 people. The organisation was very smooth and the event was tailored to our needs by India. Matt was extremely welcoming and ensured that everything went well during the night. Thank you!

The meal was excellent! The service was very, very friendly! The pictures promise more of the ambience as it actually is. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit.

I had been waiting to go to B&H for a while but ultimately left disappointed. The service was excellent and the bottomless brunch is good value, however it was let down considerably by the food. The food appeared pre-made and then reheated, and the portions were quite small. I won't visit again and there are far better brunches in London. Update: I did in fact visit B&H again recently for brunch, and this time was very disappointed by the service. We chose the bottomless option however the staff were very slow to top up drinks / take orders, and they started the clock from when we sat down (notwithstanding one member of our party hadn't arrived and we didn't order anything until they did). Disappointing.

We came here for Sunday brunch because of the good reviews and because we could book a table which takes the stress out of it. It was really enjoyable with good selection including a proper English breakfast. My only feedback is that the beans were spread across the whole plate. That doesn't bother me particularly but I know it's a deal breaker for lots of people!

The Garden Room was perfect for our party last night. Charlie, who looked after us throughout the evening, was brilliant and incredibly attentive, exceeding all our expectations. The manager and the rest of your team were also fantastic. All the guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Highly recommended!

Lovely atmosphere and decor, very friendly staff and good cocktails

Went for brunch as a group of 3. Start with the pros, atmosphere/ decor is cool and fun vibe. It's all downhill from there. Food was good, but not warm by the time it reached table. Bread & muffins were cool and difficult to cut.. Big issue is service. Arrived at 12, managed to get one drink order and one meal order, then we were ignored. Nobody else came to see us for nearly 2 hours. We all would have had more coffees and onto sweet treats, but after a while you sort of give up on the idea. Even getting the bill required going to the payment area and requesting. Paying service charge when you don't get service is a con. Overall disappointed, as they were not that busy!

Overall two stars because whilst the vibe and atmosphere was great the food was below average, really underwhelming menu and quality was subpar. Pricey for what your getting

We had a really lovely brunch with our children. I love the decor at Bourne & Hollingsworth so much.

It’s. A very beautiful and not so busy place I love their fries and summer terrace

Went for brunch, breakfast was great. Nice drinks and attentive staff. Great vibe also.

We popped in for a drink. Lovely interior. The drinks were high quality and the staff are great. Would visit again. The only downside ..the WC's need a deep clean.

This venue is racist, their staff act in a disgusting manner to a wedding guest and removed him from the venue, once it was established that he was a guest they allowed him back on but did not allow him to sit down and made him stand at the back of the room for the duration of the wedding. It is a disgrace that this behaviour is still seen and people are treated this way because of the colour of their skin. This needs to be addressed by the venue.

Beautiful decor and relaxed vibes, great cocktails!

Great staff and wonderful leaving do for a great guy

Went for a friends special birthday, we had a delicious meal. Great place for a group booking. Would definitely recommend. We had a set menu.

Nice visit. Tasty brunch. Excellent service.

Great experience and friendly staff

Fantastic place to host parties/ nice staff, nice food and drinks 👍👍

Very nice restaurant nested in a quiet street in the heart of Clerkenwell. Food was good but own opinion is that prices are slightly steeper than other places in the same category (£5 for hashbrowns in a full English when it should already be included in there…) Service was excellent from reception to handing the bill.

Private dining area was perfect for our work dinner - ambience as well - and service impeccable

The food was ok and the decor was really nice. Although the service was generally friendly, it was slightly confused with some orders being forgotten about and other things that hadn't ordered and didn't want showing up.

Awful food. Tasteless and poor quality Had a starter that was still frozen on the inside! Decent interior though…

Omg the service was absolutely amazing so was the food the staff are so friendly yet so professional

Really fun cocktail bar, interesting drinks plus all the classics, friendly service. Particularly enjoyed A Pear Necessity and their Old Fashioned.

Beautiful stunning venue. Light airy place. Had the bottomless brunch, it was disappointing. Didn’t get our first drink for ages, had to keep calling for a refill, therefore bottomless is not worth it. The food was very average. Had the full English and it was just ok, the scrambled eggs were strangely tasteless. The pancakes were not great, tasted microwaved, not fresh fried pancake. The bill was a faff! It was so complicated, those that had no alcohol paid so much more. Please improve the food quality! It a shame that it’s such a beautiful space, but the food is a let down. Maybe some of the other dishes were better.

The decor and vibe are really cool, but the food was mediocre at best. How can a dish with chorizo be bland? The pancakes were cakey than is expected of pancakes, just dry. The French toast had way too much caramel sauce and burnt pecans. At this price point, I expect better seasoning and flavors.

Brilliant place for bottomless brunch, cocktails were amazing

Nice vibe and great customer service

This is a great local place worth visiting. Extreamly service minded staff. Try out there english breakfast and French toast if you like something really sweet and special.

Amazing brunch ! Great drinks and delicious food highly recommend

worst experience ever. very overpriced and barely got any food. staff weren't friendly and no effort was put into our service. never going back. do not recommend. wish i could get a refund.

Great place for bottomless brunch at the weekend.

Came here for a special evening not too long ago, the warming atmosphere with the roaring fireplaces and eclectic array of plants made this destination immediately feel like home. The drinks were absolutely sublime, and the bartenders were consummate professionals. I can’t wait till the next occasion I get to return to Bourne and Hollingsworth. It’s the perfect destination for any occasion, big or small. Do yourself a favour and go for dinner, drinks, or brunch at B&H as soon as you can!

I wish I could give this exquisite dining abode the 10 stars that it’s worth instead of just the 5 allowed by google reviews. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a romantic evening with their special someone (or someones, we don’t judge). The charming atmosphere is sure to enchant your senses as much as the delectable food will delight your palate. The manager is incredibly kind and will anticipate your every need. All in all, such a big slay.

Service charge doesn’t go to staff. Which is absolutely unacceptable. Tips are not to top up wages or to go to the business owners, they are a bonus for great service which we received. Until they sort out their policy I won’t be returning. The food and service were great but I cannot return to this place until they look after their service staff better. They work long hours, and deserve to be rewarded for their hard work. Not lining the pockets of the owner.

Didn’t go inside in the end as didn’t like the vibe.

Food was okay, however they got two of our orders incorrect and gave one of our friends a food with an allergen so she had to take an antihistamine. Our friend called ahead to ensure this wouldn’t happen and spoke to staff when she got there and it still happened. This is something that could shut down a restaurant and the staff did not take this seriously. If you have an allergy I would not risk coming here. One of the waiters was lovely.

Amazing venue. Such a wonderful ambiance. Food was amazing and the singers were a fabulous surprise. Staff were very efficient and friendly

Very spacious location that is decorated lovely. The food was majorly delicious, however the deserts were not keeping up with the expectations. The service is horrible. Numerous orders were taken wrong, served delayed, and stuff doesn't seem to want to leave a good impression. Unfortunately, this left us with a disappointing birthday experience for one of my friends (group of 10).

NYE event was great, except for indoors fireworks, please never do this again :)

I booked for a birthday brunch here for a group of 10 of us. B&H offer many different brunch combination options and I was the only one in my group who chose the bottomless Bellini one, while some just had a different drink or just one Bellini. While the food and atmosphere was great, the waitress seemed overwhelmed and even mentioned she had been working a long time without a break. She appeared to input our brunch combos into the bill wrong and we had to dispute this to get it corrected. Given this and the unhurried pace regarding topping up my bottomless drink, we decided not to pay service charge. However, I would recommend coming here because the interior is lovely and the food tasty, the food did come at a fast rate and the staff were helpful when we had a query. We enjoyed our time and I appreciated the candle for my birthday! Thank you B&H Buildings

What a wonderful discovery - loved this place. The food, the service and the ambiance were perfect. Thank you. Must come back for brunch.

Bottomless brunch was incredible. Great service. Great drinks. Lovely atmosphere.

Came for the Molton Brown Brunch which we really enjoyed! The food was delicious especially the french toast and eggs Benedict. Drinks were never empty by the staff being so attentive and top it off it came with a goody bag full of Molton Brown goodies. Very cool vibe!

I booked the Private Dining Room for my 40th Birthday Celebration and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. The pre-planning team were super helpful & organised making a very smooth & stress free experience. Special shout out to India who answered all my Q’s like a pro! The venue is stunning, food delicious and the team on the night were fab! Discreet & friendly service. Thanks so much!

Excellent food - a delicious brunch. Generous with boozie element of it. Lovely decor and great service.

Celebrated our Christmas Party here and loved every second, the package was perfect for the team. Servers were attentive and friendly throughout the night, with bar staff quick and efficient. Would highly recommend events here, one of the best parties we have had in a long while!

Ambiente molto suggestivo, soprattutto sotto Natale. peccato l'acustica che lo rende molto chiassoso se c'è tanta gente. Accessibile con sedia a rotelle, c'è uno speciale bagnetto al pianterreno.

The place looks the part, very nicely decorated, trendy. Our food was average at best. My eggs benedict were lukewarm and the sauce barely had any taste. My partner’s burger was ok fries were deepfreeze fries. Cocktails were ok. Pancakes slightly burned at the edges, my bacon tasteless and seemed like it was made the dat before.

The place is absolutely stunning and decorated with great taste. I was however disappointed by the food, which I found quite expansive and relatively basic. I had a brunch formula, and the Vegetarian English was not that exciting. I would have preferred to order a la carte instead of having to order two dishes.

Not a great experience. The waitress seemed off from the very beginning and came across rude, when asked if she was okay, she responded in a defensive manner. I then spoke to the man at the door about the experience with the waitress. He was more interested in taking people to their seats rather than talking to me about my experience. Me and my friend both felt the service was poor, unfriendly and had a long delay. Food is nice and unfortunately we won't be coming back because the service is astoundingly bad. What a shame.

Worth every penny for a Sunday brunch. The staff were really great, food was delicious and service was great. Would suggest doing a reservation, even if i went in alone and got a spot instantly. Suggestion: bottomless+ brunch. 2 plates and flowing spritz

We booked an Evening of Seasonal Indulgence … but didn’t get it. We got “the season’s best food and drink ingredients” although the duck was overcooked and didn’t arrive till 2 hours after the 7pm start of the evening. We also got a harpist and a choir singing between courses, but we also got a deafening level of noise from surrounding diners - the acoustics were so bad we couldn’t hold a conversation. And where was the “specifically designed fragrance to enhance the dessert course”? By 10pm we had headaches and gave up, so we probably missed the promised indoor fireworks. The final let-down was the £55 bill for 2 glasses of wine and a bottle of water.

Really enjoyed their Huevos Benedictos, also had the French toast - I had asked for sauce on the side which I recommend as you can then pour the amount you want (it comes with a lot!!). Overall great value for money with unlimited drinks - you’re not restricted to sticking with just one choice (can literally have cocktails, soft drinks, and coffees/teas!) which is much appreciated as rarely the case. Super cool atmosphere and nice decor. You are held to the 1h30 booking slot though, we did somehow felt pushed out at the end.

This place looked so delightful, and was very quiet, mid-morning on Saturday. We asked if they could give us a quick coffee-and-croissants or some such. The waiter on the door said no, then was contradicted by the manager who said yes. But no, they didn't have any croissants or any food this side of a full brunch (which we didn't want or have time for). We waited half an hour for our coffee, being avoided by all waiters when we looked like we might ask them about it. And then, since we had an appointment in fifteen minutes, we left, just as the coffee arrived.

Most creative and delicious cocktails I have had in a long time, seriously worth it - Adam the bartender (from Madrid) was fantastic and gave us some great travel recommendations

Impeccable service in a gorgeous environment. The food was good, too. Not just one of these "instagrameable" places that trap you with their ambience and don't deliver.

What a stunning place! An absolute must do when in London. The food is out-of-this-world and the aesthetic is amazing. It's like sitting inside a a cottage greenhouse/orangery. It is the perfect place for celebrating with friends and family. While we were there, there were birthday celebrations and baby showers. It has such a nice atmosphere. We had the classic brunch at £32 per person. This came with a drink (soft drink, cocktail or hot), a main course like eggs Benedict (Spanish style), salt beef hash or an English breakfast. Then there is a desert type breakfast dish like maple bacon pancakes or french toast. Everything is delicious!!!

I fully recommend this place ❤️ Amazing views and so natural, I will come back again for sure. Customer service its excellent 👌, very aware and well attention. Thank you, I've had a good day on a special day at the right place 😊

Excellent cocktails - thank you Rich!

The place is very instagrammable when you look it up but the whole experience left much to be desired. The menu sounds all fancy, but difficult to decipher what it all actually means and very limited. The dishes are poor in terms of accompaniments. The food itself wasn't that well presented and didn't taste special. My friend had 3 clams on her plate, of which 2 were empty. They serve some of their cocktails in jam jars which is unappetising, unelegant, cheap and weird. The service is awful. They ask you if you are ready to order every 5 minutes from the moment you arrive but when everyone is there and ready, they don't check at all. We waited like 45 minutes for our food. Then another 20 for drinks. We asked for the bill to be split but the girl never came back. The other one said "yeah, yeah" then turned her back on us and continued to re-arrange furniture. Would never ever go back again. Super expensive and most of us left hungry and disappointed. We actually requested the 12% charge be removed as £250 was already plenty of spend on this.

Fantastic gem worth visiting!! The atmosphere food and service were absolutely amazing! We celebrated my friends hen night there it was few of us so we were sitted in beautiful rustic covered in pots and plants room full of light which gave cosy but elegant feeling! We had bottomless brunch and boy those mimosas were delicious and coming fast!! If you ever in that area it is a must visit! Your better book before as it was packed on sat brunch time!

The only thing is that the cushions were dirty and the toilet could be more comfortable/clean/modern.

Gabriel was great and really attentive with food and drinks. Would definitely recommend

Excellent location, space and service. We went for a work event and the place was an excellent choice. The service was excellent, very professional and friendly at the same time.

What a lovely welcoming place this is . I went with some lady friends for Saturday brunch and we enjoyed every moment . The staff were all lovely and welcoming without exception and that really made a difference . The atmosphere is relaxed but lively . Our server was very charming and patient explaining the menu . We went for inclusive spritz cocktails which were light and tasty and we were brought refills without having to ask . The food was plentiful and really tasty especially the banana pancakes . Once our time was up we were not bluntly required to leave our table - just nicely invited to move to the sofas for coffee . Really really lovely experience and we will definitely return 😊

Enjoyed a lovely bottomless brunch with friends for my birthday - really reasonable priced for London, two courses and bottomless drinks, attentive service meaning we were never waiting too long for a top up! I had the Mexican take on eggs Benedict and the pancakes, both of which were great. Drinks options could have been more varied but overall we had a brilliant time. The main selling point is definitely the building itself, stunning interior and a really laid back but bustling atmosphere.

Quirky and fun ambience! Great friendly staff. Was here for a seasonal menu tasting event and was sat at the bar. The bar staff were experienced and was fun to watch them in action, they were also happy to chat and give informative background on the chosen cocktails of the night. They were very knowledgeable. The food was absolutely divine and service was excellent, dishes went out so orderly to the whole venue so that you were all experiencing the same flavours at the same time. There was a choir that came in and sang between some of the courses, it was such an intimate and wonderful experience. Everyone was so friendly and helpful that it just added to the experience. This venue would also be a great option for hiring out! The layout is so versatile and they seem so accommodating.

Absolutely delightful evening celebrating a birthday - staff were the nicest, most helpful and gorgeous in every way. The food was delicious, went for three course menu very reasonably priced and terrific quality. Lovely ambience also for a special evening, gorgeous dining room setting.

Came here for my best friend's baby shower and it was just the most beautiful setting! Service was impeccable and friendly, from booking all the way to small requests on the day. Super accomodating and great brunch venue!

I had a really lovely experience at B&H buildings, the venue is stunning, food & drink is exceptional & the service is top notch! Fully recommend a visit!

Nicest staff and beautiful cocktails.

Loved the bottomless brunch here, will be back!
