Churchills restaurant in Tower Hamlets

Je pense que notre room service provenait de ce restaurant et à chaque fois c était délicieux , service rapide , rien à dire c était parfait

Un ambiente muy cálido y tranquilo , con una panadería y patisseri exquisita , música suave y charla muy amena

The food was amazing and the wine was nice. The serving staff were really charming as well as efficient. A lovely evening all round.

We came here for a special dinner because of its concept and because St John is undoubtedly a London institution. I’m not usually one to leave reviews less than 5 stars, but I think the service here leaves a little to be desired. The first thing is you’re offered still or sparkling water. We ordered still, and realised this was charged and that tap water was very much an option too (but not an option we were given, and which we would have taken). The food however is delicious and interesting - the chicken liver pate was a stand out for me, it was some of the best pate I’ve ever had. We ordered some mains but unfortunately were quite full from the day so left about 80% of the food (I legitimately took a bite from the two dishes and that was it). It was delicious though, and I was keen to take it home and also not waste it - for ethical but of course budget conscious reasons. I asked the wait staff if I could have the food for take away because we were too full to finish it, and unfortunately they misinterpreted as have it taken away from the table, and threw it out. This was super disappointing; I’ve worked in hospitality myself and I can appreciate the term “take away” could be confusing, but if I saw that much food left on a plate I would have offered for it to be packed too, notwithstanding having that requested. The waitstaff kindly offered us complimentary madeleines on the house (which are once again delicious) but also why offer more food when we’ve just said we’re too full? We ate about one each. Of course we could have come here with emptier stomachs but sometimes and perhaps we will if we come back again. The service charge was taken off our bill (which is ultimately a gratuity anyway?); but I left feeling pretty short changed for a bill that ended up being £120 or so. I would have much preferred to have something taken off the bill, like our drinks, instead. It was ultimately the wait staff who messed up, but we were left with the sour taste in our mouths. From reading other reviews, it seems like service is a recurring issue.

Burger was terrible. Dry and seemed like it had been out for ages. No ketchup. Light on sauce and 1 gherkin.
