It's a busy spot opposite Tower 42. The traffic and city workers pass by. The service is always good, the staff attentive and not intrusive. This is a wine bar so accent on the wine, thus menu is concise. Expect to pay at least £20 to £30 a bottle for wine. City prices I'm afraid.

Good range of food & wine. Bit noisy where we were sitting, but it was Friday lunch time. Very convenient location.

The staff are outstandingly friendly and helpful. Despite it being busy, there was no wait for service or drinks. The tempura veg was fantastic.

The food was mediocre and the sword fish portion was rather small. They made a mistake with my salmon dish and brought smoked salmon instead of baked salmon. Then they served the broccoli side dish whilst I was waiting for the baked salmon, so had to eat that before it went cold, and also to keep my guest company so we were not eating at different times. They did apologise about this, but the whole dining experience was not impressive.

It was dispapointing to go to this C&B which has been recently refurbished and be expected to sit on a stained seat. We had booked for a table for 3 and got one that was pretty cramped, right next to the door. We seemed to wait ages for the food and when it arrived my fishcakes were lukewarm; our guest had ordered the special of swordfish but it was a pretty paltry portion. Luckily we had ordered a portion of chips for the 3 of us to share or he would have been very hungry.

The longest wait for the poorest food. 45 mins for 'salt soup' and over an hour for a chicken salad to appear. then it tasted like it was left over from a previous day - dry and tasteless. Many other guests complaining, too.

Hostess handled seating well during busy December lunchtime peak. From then on service got somewhat slow. Food was ok for the price and given its a chain you're not going to get wagu beef. Great to meet colleagues for location/convenience, buzzy atmosphere and good beer.

The service was absolutely appalling. It was the drinks area that particularly let them down. The pre lunch drink for one member of the party took about a half hour to arrive and that was after having waited approx 15 minutes before being told they had run out of the first wine chosen. That information should have taken minutes to relay.. Maybe understaffed or inexperienced staff either way things were not happening. A senior, possibly a manager, stepped in, apologized and improved matters after I complained and said the service was appalling and completely unacceptable. Nevertheless, this is a City location and timely service is essential at lunch time. It put a bit of dampener on the a lunch between former colleagues.

Good menu and very well trained staff. My colleague wasn't very happy about the lettuce in her salad - a couple of very large leaves that didn't appear to be very fresh. She pointed this out to the staff and, to their credit, they apologised profusely and deducted the salad from the bill. They also offered us a couple of complimentary drinks as recompense. I was very impressed with the way they handled the complaint. Well done.

We needed a relatively quick lunch. The service staff were very attentive without being in your face. We chose the sandwiches which were nicely packed with fillings - no stingyness there! Sandwiches were served with a delightful Chablis. Wish we could have stayed longer. Music was a little loud, though, for a lunch time...

Having eaten here twice now, in the hopes that the second time we would get some better service, it quickly became apparent upon arrival that this would not be the case. The food is good, albeit a tad expensive for what it is, the location is prime for business lunch and the atmosphere is quite nice. The major pitfall is definitively the lack of service, attention and any kind of care from the restaurants serving staff. Barring this, if you don't mind an exceptionally long lunch this is a decent dive.

We visited C&B for a work team lunch. Some of the meals were poor and not as expected. Service was very slow for food - the starters were not served for 30mins (bread and oil). The air conditioning was also up too high where we were sitting.<br /><br />I would recommend C&B Old Broad Street for drinks but not for lunch.

We were all very dissaspointed that your 'limited' menu that was on offer did not include your simple sandwichs! Therefore, we did not order any food and just had a drink. We did not want a great big meal or the small appetisers (which are very over priced for what they are) that you only offered that day.

We were happy to be able to book a table for lunch during the week before Christmas. Despite many people having pre-Christmas lunch, service was very friendly. The food was good and everyone was happy with their choice: Fish pie, Salmon fish cakes and Cornish Pollock. We would go again.

I booked a table very late on the day (12.15 for a 12.30 table!), but was pleasantly surprised to get confirmation. Was made to feel an individual rather than just a booking reference. Very courteous and professional staff. Attentive, prepared to suggest options for lunch!<br />Service very good during the meal, food was very well prepared and presented. Also very quick to respond when the bill needed to be paid.<br />All round good experience - will return, I am sure!

Great food, good value (as on deal for January), staff very friendly although hard to get attention at times (but very friendly when they did arrive). Over door heaters were broken so restaurant was very cold (it was already snowing outside). Were offered to move table but already had our food.<br /><br />Thank you - will come again.

Dined here for a breakfast meeting and we were placed at the back of the restaurant as it seemed to be the only area with a table large enough to accommodate more than five people. There were no other diners around us, so the ambience wasn't lively, and the staff focused their efforts more towards the front of the restaurant, so it was sometimes difficult to get their attention. The food was okay and, for the City, represented fairly good value. I would recommend this restaurant for quick, informal breakfast meetings. Being seated near the front of the restaurant may have yielded a better experience.

Marked down on the basis of slow service and the fact that I ordered a burger with cheese and bacon but instead they served just a plain burger with fries. The waitress did apologise but then they tried to charge for the cheese and bacon. I think they were struggling generally due to it being very busy, but then they should be ready for that on a Friday lunchtime.

Recommend Yes for Drinks but No for Food. Food we ordered took ages to arrive and it was only simple sandwiches. The service was lackadaisical, no one checked were we happy with our meal and no one kept us posted as to why the delay in getting the food in the first place, we had to flag down a waiter (there were only 2 of them covering the whole restaurant area). When you're short on time for lunch as it is (most of us only have an hour free at lunchtime) it's not ok to be so slow serving a few sandwiches. The food itself was indifferent to poor; my "club" sandwich was not a true club sandwich and the chicken in it was definitely pre-cooked and had an "old" taste and texture to it, very dry and not good. Disappointing.

I have been on 3 occasions now to Old Broad Street since I have recently moved office and this place is very local and convenient for lunch.<br />however every time the staff serving us are foreign and find it difficult to understand our order. Surely they should familiarise themselves with the food and wine lists?<br />On this occasion I ordered the fishcakes as did my friend. The accompanying salad was tiny, very limp and soaked in oil. The chips tasted like they had been cooked in old fat so I left those.<br />Whilst the salmon fishcakes, though small, were fine and tasty I think overall the meal was bad value and quality for what we paid, which I believe was £12.95.<br />We had a bottle of house rose wine which was fine and nicely chilled.

Went in here for the first time as me and the other half just wanted a few beers. We did not know about this pub and were drinking in the pub near the station . That other pub was not at all good so we stopped going. Then came across this pub and it was a nice enjoyable evening. So we have found a place to have a few beers.
