Hampshire Bar And Restaurant - Leicester Square in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Tuve una explosión absoluta en mi primera experiencia de té. Serigne fue nuestro anfitrión y no podríamos haber estado en mejores manos. Fue fácil hablar, informativo + divertido. Scoffs & Banter lo tenía todo: comida, agua + atmósfera. . . . todo a punto. Ah, y por supuesto, los bollos eran PERFECCIÓN total.

Recently visited down for the weekend for a night out in Leicester Square, ended up at this place was such a good vibe and great atmosphere! The cocktails were amazing and the service from a Christos was lovely he looked after us and made us feel really welcome!! Would recommend to anyone ....

I visited here with a few friends recently and loved it. The cocktails made by Christos were the best, I had watermelon margarita. Would recommend and am definitely coming back in the future! You should definitely try this place out - you will not be disappointed.

Have visited this place at a night out with my friends to celebrate and had a great time. We were all amazed by the atmosphere made by the decoration of the place as well as the services and staff. Especially Christos and his popular drinks made a big impression on our group. Never had as good cocktails as his ones. Big Thank You and looking forward to visit the place again. Would recommend to all the people who just wants to relax, have fun and spend a nice time with delicious drinks.

Visited quite recently with a couple of friends on a night out in Leicester Square !! There was an excellent atmosphere and the vibe was inviting !! The location of the place helped a lot but what we were impressed with the most were the cocktails made by Christos !! This is a place I would highly recommend and would deff advice people to taste the cocktails which they have on offer!! Will be paying a visit back real soon !!!!

£10.41 for a Gin and Tonic (Bombay Saphire & Schweppes), way over-priced. There is an All Bar One across the square.

Great food, great cocktails, reasonably priced, definitely a must if you're staying within the hotel or in the area.

Nice friendly staff and in a nice location. We popped in for last drinks after a show. It did seem slightly expensive which I think was due to it being connected to the Radisson blu hotel.

Visited on Sat 25th Feb. I had garlic mushrooms on sourdough, cheese n broccoli pie and choc n orange bread and butter pudding. My partner had the spinach and goats cheese salad, a burger, and apple crumble and ice cream. Everything was absolutely spot on. No rush in between courses. A great atmosphere and attentive staff. Lovely sat near the window people watching in Leicester Square.

Came here on a Thursday evening, had a glass of wine and the apple crumble. Was delicious and a very generous portion served with vanilla custard! We ordered two between us but could have just had the one! Lovely service too :)

Local resident from the Scoff & Banter restaurant in Canary Wharf. I am always amazed by the warm welcome and the quality of customer service from all members of staff, especially Stephan who always goes that extra mile to make me feel welcome, satisfied with my food (even if that may not be on the menu) and an overall feel good energy once I leave the restaurant. Always a pleasure to see you and to be taken care by yours truly. Thank you & Kindest RegardsFrom your loyal customer Flora

Management and staff extremely rude, very unhelpful and we were made to feel completely unwelcome. This was my first time at the Radisson in London and with such a location I really expected better! I will definitely never come back!

In Leicester Square for an early movie on a Sunday. The Scoff & Banter (S&B) is clearly focused on hotel guests, but they certainly have no problem taking the business of my family of three. We were dressed in business casual. S&B was 15% full and the four staff seemed to be ignoring us as we arrived. Eventually one came and said he would find a table - I could see 20 empty tables (?). When they came back two minutes later we were perfectly placed next to the waiter's station, with all the noise, smells and general unpleasantness of collected plates. Three orders of eggs benedict. One was fine; second was overdone (hard egg) and the third was under the heater so long the hollandaise had dried out and the egg resembled a golf ball. Tea took eight minutes to arrive, without milk. Just a mess at every level.....and we paid £23 + VAT for each of the eggs benedict plus the cost of the OJ, tea and coffee. Wow. I have lived in London 20+ years and this was in the bottom 10% of my experiences. Maybe you are asking why I did not ask for the properly prepared meal once is came back wrong. Well, we did not have time for that; I should not have to 'defend' myself from bad food; and we should al expect our food 100% the first time.

Although we visit London fairly regularly, due to relatives living there, we had never been in the Hampshire before, but were after a pre theatre meal and somewhere to rest our weary legs after a day walking around central London. We viewed the menu, and the prices looked reasonably (At least for this part of London), and went in.We had a couple of drinks whilst looking at the menu, then requested a table for 5. The food was lovely, and found the service to be good......(The food was reasonably priced, though drinks were expensive, but expected that in this touristy part of London anyway.)Location is good, just a couple of minutes walk to most Theatres, and will definitely be returning.

For somewhere so central and with obvious aspirations to be something it's not this hotel and it's ground floor bar restaurant are best avoided. With hindsight I should have recognised the signs - couldn't care less attitude from the maitre d' and a choice of tables all waiting to be cleared were the clues. Beers to drink while we chose our food took 10 mins to come. We checked if they could get us through quickly before we sat down and the snail's pace service only added to our stress levels. We ordered steaks as they need 5-10 mins to cook and 20 mins later were still waiting despite repeatedly chasing up the kitchen via the variety if waiting staff who deigned to grace our table with their ponderous presence. A visit to the bar inside only confirmed the worst - i have never seen more dirty glasses and crockery in full customer view - a disgrace to see and clear evidence of either a staff strike or that it's time for a complete change of team. Horrible. The food eventually arrived without the cutlery or even the side dishes we ordered - tasty enough but impossible to enjoy when you have to bolt it down - £55 for 2 dinners for the privilege. Appalling. Avoid

A great afternoon tea. Such friendly and polite members of staff, nothing is too much trouble. I requested sandwiches with no mayo and asked for 2 lots of 2 sandwiches rather than 4 different ones and this was accommodate with no quibble. Nothing was too much trouble.With 8 sandwiches, a goats cheese tart, 2 scones with jam and cream and 4 deserts each, there was plenty of food and we couldn't manage it all.We had a virgin experience voucher, but we didn't feel we were treated any different or less favourably than the regular customers.Would fully recommend and can't wait to go back again

Our 2nd visit here but only due to its location for people watching and chilling outside. Impersonal staff and maybe a little over priced, A big group were having some kind of celebration in the main area ( we sat outside ) but they were loud and quite obnoxious . . . . Pacing in and out on mobiles like they had never used a phone before we could hear their full conversation and they did come across as the type of people who would certainly put me off again next time . . . Granted its nothing to do with the place its self but shows how standards have slipped .

We booked a table with one of the very friendly staff. It was a special occasion and I had asked for a good seat which was given to us. The food & service was fantastic and we had a brilliant night. Definitely recommend.

A good meal at a reasonable price, it was my wifes birthday. They did her a small cake and brought it on to "happy birthday" sung by all the staff....a nice touch and was completely unprompted

Great location.Front desk staff amazing!We had great breakfast .Thanks for Adeline and Monika for great breakfast and positive atidute every morning . Dinner was excellent . 5 star

Dark and moody with gentle music - jazz or mood electronica when we were there - makes for a lovely ambience, and the staff are discreet - sometimes to a fault and you have to coax them into coming to your table, but that just makes it feel more intimate and private - though it's not actually very private.A full range of cocktails are available, all taste wonderful and are presented with flair, and the prices are on a par with the rest of London.We'll be spending an hour or so in here on our next visit.

The hotel is alright but the restaurant,service and people are terrible.There is no management and organisation.I came from New York and stayed there.I had to wait for 25 minutes for coffee in breakfast,finally it was served with cold toasts and no butter.Staff is not cooperative.while lunch staff did not know what to offer and answer queries.A nice blonde lady with tie came to me and she spoke non stop.I couldnt understand her accent.I told her to repeat order and explain .Whenever I spoke,she acted rudely.I would never come back to this restaurant and I wont suggest you too.People runs around like crazy without care for customers.

Vi bor på hotellet och grundar med en förrätt och lite vin innan vi ska på teatern. Läget är fantastiskt och personalen är mycket vänlig och ger god service. Maten, en krabb och räkcoctail var god och fint upplagd. Det vita vinet svalt och gott. Dock är ljudnivån så hög att det är svårt att konversera runt bordet. Kan rekommenderad om ni inte vill sitta och prata med varandra.

Afternoon tea for 12 to celebrate my mum's 80th birthday and we were royally looked after. Wonderful service, great atmosphere and great cakes and sandwiches. I would thoroughly recommend it. Thank you to all concerned.

The lovely little canopies that come complimentary were delicious. There is a good wine list and cocktail list. the bar area is comfortable and welcoming.

We've been here a few times for afternoon tea. The venue is delightful in a busy Leicester square and the setting with sumptuous soft chairs , newspapers and of course gorgeous cakes, sandwiches and tea! You can watch people all afternoon! At £19 a head last time we went, it's a real treat but as high tea goes, us good value for London.

Needed a quick meal before our theatre outing. This was just the place. Lovely surroundings, fast, efficient, but not overpowering service. The meal itself was tasty and just enough, although my husband would have liked more. Would definitely recommend a visit.

After my frienda had soent time and effort organising a trip to london for a surprise birthday treat we arrived and the gorgeous hampshire beautifully located. In oar of the interior we were seated quickly. Yhe mood of the day was then to be ruined by what i will call the waitress from hell.After walking over and announcing she "assumed we'd all have breakfast tea" with o introduction or welcome nor a varience or alternative on other teas, which we later found out there was a list of teas more to my tasting.The waitress theb came back and asked which afternoon tea we were having...not knowing there were more than one option the girls promptly showed the lady which we had pre booked and that it stated afternoon tea which we could add a glass of presseco for an extra £7.95...This was instantly dismissed and the lady went on to describe a pink tea (where yoyr food is dyed pink,whether this was for charity we never found out)After a cobfusing and embarrassing conversation and beig denied the offer we then ordered tea and a bottle of presecco....this apparently highly amusing to the waitress who went on to imply later after ordering a second bottle we could not afford...much to our humiliation and anger.The food was promptly brought out with a gluten free option and i must say this now...the food was exsquisite, the chefs should be proud of the light delights of the cakes and scones..such a shame it was tainted with the taste of embarrassment.Aftwr awaiting ti be told what each item was..we waited a long time...when asking another waitress as ours had now disappeared, my birthday wish coming true, asked rudely "why? Do you have an allergy". At which i replied "no. I just prefer to know what i'm eating"....At waljing off to ask the chef the deacription was a s follows "a chocolate one, a lemon one etc" clearly i must look not only poor but unintelligent that i could not work this out myself...Not very good that the foh staff do not know what they are serving...The meal was over and after feeling discriminated against because of reasons unsure... we paid and left...In typical ladies fashion a quick powder room stop happened and whilst waiting in reception for the ladies to re group to take me on to my next surprise and salvage what was a dissapointing high tea...i enjoyed listening to a male member of staff ask very loydly to a colleague..."who are they and why are they hear" i turned to.see him pointing at us...who were quietly stood waiting .... a great end to the whole experience bearing in mind the yound boy had just come off the phone saying, i quote "i know sick bruv"Whether the hmpshire discriminate against under 30's or we had clearly come on a bad day...we had travelled to london for a brilliant weekend and this over shadowed it...Really disgusting behaviour and coming from the hospitality industry a poor diaply of FOH service compared to other high end london afternoon tea hotspots. The price was fair but for what you pay i do not expect to.be treated in anyway..so if you are visiting i would be prepared to be judged and not expect good customer service. I thank the hampshire for spoiling the efforts of my friends and my surprise birthday day.

Went for Afternoon Tea at The Hampshire. Staff so nice and the tea was just amazing - neat little sandwiches, cakes, even jelly in small glasses. Lovely time and would go again.

It was about 4.30 pm on Friday and we wanted a quick drink. There were plenty of tables available outside, so we decided to pop in. We asked the waitress for a table and were asked if we would be eating. We told her that we just wanted a quick drink. She said that we could sit inside, but not outside unless we were eating. Her response was quite rude and we declined the inside seating.

we sat outside in the sun watching the world go by. Excellent location. If it wasn't for the bar running out of bottles of beer we would have stayed longer.... A bar that runs out of Heineken and peroni??? It took a while to get our bill ... but again great location.

We had made an advance booking for a pre- theatre meal. Excellent service, the food was tasty and beautifully presented. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone..

Whole family ate here. Prices average, Quality of food outstanding and lovely atmosphere . We didn't have to wait long for food. which is one of my husbands pet hates. so he was happy. My son had the Burger which was enormous and very tasty.

I stayed in this hotel with my partner and the first thing I must point out is the location. Its right in the heart of Leicester Square next door to the odean. We couldn't of asked for a better location with so much to do and see all around you also only a 15 minute walk to oxford street. The hotel itself was very welcoming with a very relaxed feel in the hotel bar and restaurant with a lovely ambience. The service by the staff was first class always happy to assist you in any way they could. The room was very nice with all the amenities you need on your stay I was quite happy with the fact it had an iron and ironing board in the room, small things please small minds ;). Over all it was a very pleasurable experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who was planning a night or two in the west end of london. Will definitely be staying here again

The service was a bit slow as we had a dinner reservation elsewhere, but it was sophisticated, comfy sofas and a big choice of drinks.

Ongeïnteresseerde service, echt niet prettig. Prachtig zicht op het plein natuurlijk en de drankjes zijn er niet veel duurder dan in een gewone pub. Dat valt best mee, naar Londense normen dus.

We only had breakfast in the Hampshire and this was superb. The choice is vast and the staff are most pleasant.

Before making our way to Scoff and Banter in Mercer St, we stopped at the other Scoff and Banter premises in Leicester Square, for champagne. It was pouring with rain, but the spectacular view of the fun fair in the Square made up for it. The service was excellent, and the Proseco we settled for in the end was reasonably priced and delicious. My friends asked for nibbles and we received a medium sized bowl of Olives, which I never eat, but which they told me were OK. We were disappointed not to be offered nuts or crisps which we usually receive (without having to ask) in other top London hotels. The problem with this venue is the seating: there are two sets of doors to the outside giving a tremendous (cold) through-draught so no-one can sit immediately between these doors without being frozen. In addition the other chairs are swivel-style and extremely uncomfortable - huge gap between seat and back of chair so one feels as if one is waiting for lift-off on a plane. Cushions might improve the situation,Never-the-less, this is an extremely popular venue and we will continue to visit, if only because, when there is a film premiere, customers are in a prime location! (But that's our secret...) We did not eat here, but the food looked fine.
