Scoff & Banter Bloomsbury in Camden

The food was tasty. The environment was well decorated. Highly appreciated about the fantastic service from Gopika. She was very nice and helpful. Always very attentive.

Inside a hotel, elegant environment and good food, slightly expensive. Very clean room and bathrooms.

Good food, service is a bit interesting with missing order but blame on the guests.

Where to begin… arrived at our table and we’re the only ones in the dining area. We had booked a table of 6 for the set menu with a glass of Prosecco. We were given normal menus, so we enquired and were told this was the menu. We then had to find the menu on our phones and show the waitress. They then bring over a set menu, completely different to the offer online. We again questioned this as was told no this is the menu. 40 minutes in and no drinks at the table despite being the only table at the time. Over the course of the 2 hours we were there we’re 6 tables and 3 servers for context total. When the food order was taken, they didn’t ask about allergies, didn’t ask if we wanted anymore drinks. Food came out and no check back despite not being busy. Food cleared before everyone on the table had finished. Ordered a coffee after flagging team down constantly and we ordered 2 coffees… 1 arrived. I then asked to take the service charge off ( I work in hospitality and I NEVER do this, I am also so compassionate to bad days because I GET IT!) and was told no you have to pay that. I then pointed to the word discretionary on the bill and politely told the waiter to check with someone else. How embarrassing? I had to then explain that the service was poor, and not being a confrontational person that made me so uncomfortable. Honestly I am so sad to be leaving a 1* review as I have NEVRER done this before but I left so upset about the experience. Fish and chips was really good, one of the best I’ve tasted! So amazing chefs but the service was possibly the worst I’ve ever experienced in my whole life.

Fantastic service from Geethika and Pradip, good food and super good value for money with TheFork discount. We went for our birthday celebration and got a complimentary dessert. Thank you very much 🙏

Had a very nice lunch here. Nice restaurant (belongs to a hotel) and friendly staff.

We booked a table for 15 and the service was good as was the food. The set menu was good

Muy buena comida y servicio. Mohammed es amable y servicial. La ubicación es buena y cerca del museo británico. Cerca de la estación Tottenham.

Pradip our waiter was very attentive and polite. We both had the prawn cocktail and it was fantastic!! So many prawns 🍤 all cleaned and tasty. Don’t think we ever had such a good prawn cocktail. For main we had Salmon and homemade Shepherds pie both very nice. Shared a carafe of red wine. We will be back as we really enjoyed our dinner.

Posto gradevole, soprattutto Soddisfatti del servizio e attenzioni da parte di Mohammed. Atmosfera piacevole,cibo ottimo senza dubbio torneremo

We were a group of 6, service was excellent. We had the steak, fish and chips, Caesar salad and chicken tikka masala. The medium rare steak was cooked carefully, the meat has good flavour. The fish and chips was nice and crispy. A very happy meal

Enjoyable food and a truly pleasant staff.👌 We ordered Super food salad 🥗, Fish and chips, Shepherds pie.

Great well priced food and drinks. Lovely place for lunch and our server honey so very attentive and amazing!

Lovely chilled evening in the hotel bar/restaurant, away for work. Greethika and Mohammed have been very attentive. The food, steak and fries, were cooked lovely!

Nos sorprendió gratamente, servicio y la comida exquisita Geethika y Mohammed muy atentos Un servicio muy profesional

Excelente servicio de Greethika y Mohammed. Servicio rápido y buena comida. Las instalaciones están muy bien también

Excellent all around. Food, presentation, and service. Geethika Mohammed provided just the right amount of attention!

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner at Bloomsbury St. Lounge, and we were thoroughly impressed. The ambiance was elegant and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed evening. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. A special mention to Ms. Anjana for her outstanding hospitality. She was incredibly attentive, warm, and made sure we had everything we needed for a memorable experience. Her professionalism and friendly demeanor truly elevated our visit.

Been there for Christmas, had a very nice lunch! The staff was so kind and patient with us 'cause we couldn't speak English very well. It is a lovely place too with a nice modern and cozy style.

We went for Christmas dinner as a family with friends and it was so lovely! Geethika was wonderful as were all staff members and the food was delicious!

Nice place! Good service and very tasty and fresh food.

Les serveurs Mohammed et Gegthiila étaient très accueillant nous avons passer un agréable moment Le repas était très savoureux

Special thanks to Honey and the staff. We had so much fun that I'm here writing this message! Can't wait to go back. Food, drink and happiness. Well done. Food is fresh and filling.

very nice experience after viewing British museum. Best fish chips and chicken masala, with absolutely fine service provided by Mohammed and a lady who served our table at first. Enjoyed.

As a coeliac, all staff were very helpful in pointing out bits that could change to make almost everything gluten free! Would definitely recommend

Fish and chips and beer. Good. They need waiters who speak more languages

I find this restaurant absolutely amazing the staff here Ankash Geetika Elizabeth and everyone here are amazing I love this restaurant.

The grilled panini was good, gas service and super clean

Very nice and attentive staff and tasty food for our lunch today. Tasty vegetarian «chicken». Calm and nice atmosphere.

I hit Scoff and Banter before it got crowded and it was lovely and peaceful. The crackly, dark rye bread that accompanied the Scottish salmon was wonderful. The French onion soup, though, was much too sweet for me and didn’t have much if any cheese— I only finished about half of it. It was a little bit of a disappointment, as it was a rainy day and I was looking for comfort food. I was imagining the typical French onion soup with a gooey and broiled layer of cheese on top, the bread soaking up the soup underneath.

Service and atmosphere was great, but, half of our group ordered burgers, and later got food poisoning. Out of 18 people, 6 had the burger, and 3 threw up less than 3 hours later. The restaurant and hotel declined our calls. The food did not match the price at all.

The Food was so bad I could barely eat 2 bites. Complete waste of 25 pounds.

Can’t comment on dishes listed below as didn’t have them-lamb wasn’t on menu Can comment on fact that on choosing wine we felt ‘ hoodwinked’ interms that we asked for a bottle and when the bill came we were charged £7 more than what we presumed was the bottle price of £23, which was in fact referring to a carafe. No bottle column on menu, indicating £. We have never been to a restaurant, certainly in this country that has offered a carafe of wine; having said this, when we did use the term bottle,to the manager who took our drink order did not point out that the bottle was in fact £7 more! The columns to the right of the menu, did say per glass and carafe, which the manager pointed out to us, when we questioned the price charged on our bill, but did not acknowledge that there wasn’t a heading of price per bottle.

Excellent fillet mignon, perfectly cooked as requested. Drinks were good, service was excellent as well.

This is my new favourite place to eat. The food is lush, looks appetising when it arrives & tastes delicious 😋. Staff very attentive.

Took my partner here recently as we were going to see a show at The Dominion Theatre, which is conveniently located very close by. The food was delicious. I had the burger and my partner, she had the sea bass, which she gave me a little taster and I agreed, it was gorgeous. We both had the Eton Mess for dessert and that was amazing. The toilets were a bit of a walk though as they're not close to the restaurant area. We look forward to returning someday.

I liked very much the service that Mohammod gave it to me, he was very attentive, and helpful, he help me with the best selection of the menú and he recommend me too ma y delicious dishes.

About what you expect from a hotel bar restaurant

We've been dining at Scoff and Banter since 2023 and we never leave disappointed. The food is excellent, particularly their fish and chips is what brings us back again again, along with the truffle mash potatoes. And don't omit the dessert, their sticky toffee pudding is delicious. Finally, and most importantly: the service is always impeccable; Salvatore and Elisabeth are extremely attentive, polite and professional, I wish restaurant service were always like that. Keep us the great job!

This is attached to a Radisson hotel. We came ahead of an early evening engagement. The greeting was friendly, the food was pleasant but the service was rather slow. It was a Monday late afternoon. They weren’t busy. Ambience also rather bland. We might come back, as the food was nice, but we’ll see.

Thanks to salvatore and the team of scoff and banter

Such a nice hidy away from the bustle of London, great coffee lovely service.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My experience at Scoff and Banter for breakfast was truly exceptional, all thanks to Mohammed! His warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care for our preferences elevated our dining experience to new heights. Mohammed went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, making us feel truly special. I can't recommend him enough for his outstanding service. If you want a memorable breakfast experience, ask for Mohammed – he's simply the best!

I had a rather late dinner at the hotel and, as usual in a hotel restaurant, I didn't expect much. And yet. The fish was prepared with great sensitivity, pleasantly seasoned and juicy. Accompanied by refreshing shrimp ceviche. I ran out of carbohydrates, so I made homemade bread. In addition, the service is very friendly and cares about the guest's well-being. I recommend!

Great food and magnificent and very friendly service, Salvatore and the entire team are very friendly and have a very good command of several languages, we speak Spanish and Salvatore understood and attended to us perfectly, highly recommended.

What a wonderful experience the evening here was! I booked last minute for a final evening dinner and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Tasteful decor, good wine, delicious food and excellent service made it a wonderful evening! I want to mention Salvatore in particular, who was attentive, friendly and gave us amazing service! Thank you to the whole team!

Best British restaurant we found in London. The spinach and goat cheese salad was incredible! And also the toffee cake. The place is very nice and cozy and the staff super friendly!

My experience at Scoff & Banter in Bloomsbury was exceptional. The combination of delicious food and outstanding service made for a memorable breakfast . I was impressed by the exceptional service provided by Lobsang and Geetika. Their attention to detail and genuine care for their guests made me feel truly welcome. They were very attentive and friendly . Can’t wait to return :)

Hôtel très bien située. Personnel au top. Petit déjeuné super, avec des produits frais et de qualités . Séjour dans cet hôtel très agréable , on le recommande

Great atmosphere, tasty burger, customer service on highest level

4 of us dropped in here for a pre theatre lunch having spotted it on our last visit to the Dominion. It is a really convenient location, just a few minute’s walk away. 3 of us ordered from the set menu that is super value for London and my daughter opted for the steak. That was more expensive but she said it was delicious and promptly cleared her plate. The food and service were exceptional (apart from very hard meringues on the Eton Mess) and we enjoyed a relaxed meal setting the tone for our day out. The toilets also deserve a mention. I am very wary of using any that aren't my own however these were immaculate with great handwash/lotion. We all highly recommend and will definitely return if future shows are close by.

My husband and I visited Scoff & Banter for a pre-theatre dinner on a Sunday evening. The service was impeccable, and the food was superb - I have already booked to show a friend how lovely it is!

Food was poor below average Service was slow and understaffed The experience was ruined by being connected to the hotel hallway which made the place noisy and cold

Amazing food and the waiters were nothing but kind and helpful! Salvatore really helped me with the menu by giving amazing recommendations!

How was amazing food here!! Superb!! I love beef steak so much!! It’s really good highly recommend!!👍🏻 Nice area and clean enough!! Staffs very friendly we went there big group BD party about 18 peoples. I was enjoy with company very good service 5 stats⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice place. Not massively atmospheric, style-wise but the food and the service are great. We both had a mushroom wellington, which we were told would take 30 minutes as prepared from scratch. Was knockout - just right. Elena served us and was great!

The restaurant is near the British Museum. Elena and the rest of the staff were very kind and welcoming. The food was also very tasty and helped us make amends with previous bad experiences with Fish and Chips.

Funny noticed a significant deterioration in service when using a promotion. They don’t have whisky glasses and we ended up just having to go to the bar and go up to pay because the service was so bad and they weren’t even busy

My daughter wanted to see Elf on her birthday, so booked a pre-theatre dinner here. It was a quiet night, so service was very attentive. The food was all very good, Beth particularly enjoyed the French onion soup. My Portobello mushroom wellington was delicious too. The wine list was interesting and we selected an Argentinian white, which was perfect. Would definitely return if we're in the area.

Had an amazing dining experience at Scoff & Banter, largely thanks to our exceptional waiter, Akash! From his warm welcome to expert menu suggestions, Akash's service was top-notch. He ensured a seamless and enjoyable meal. Kudos to Akash for making our visit memorable!

Great food and Service. Our family really enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Thank you to the host and Akash! Must try restaurant in London. 😊

Happy with the breakfast! Good food and many selections. Like the atmosphere of the dining area. Good service - shout out to Mr Mohammed who was serving us during the breakfast! Excellent!

Very good service, the staff is very kind . One of them, Kadin, was very kind and helpful. I totally recommend it! Thank you!

Reservation made for Christmas which was apparently never received by the restaurant. No solution offered, we were told that we had to call a number which was never communicated to us. I don't recommend.

I was staying at the Radisson Edwardian Kenilworth with my family and had the pleasure of getting breakfast each morning in the Scoff & Banter restaurant. There was a great variety of food available for breakfast, all of which was thoroughly enjoyed by my two teenage children. Scoff & Banter is a really lovely environment in which to begin the day. The staff were exceptional. I’d like to recommend Mohammed who looked after us so well each morning. He was incredibly attentive and nothing was too much trouble. A real treat to have stayed here and been looked after so well.

Outstanding food on a set menu - 2 courses £22. Beautiful place but a bit quiet - no idea why it's a little gem!

Great food and amazing service from Lobsang and Elizabeth !! I would definitely come back !

The food here is awful. Boring unimaginative choices (burger, fish & chips etc), bland and dry. We got the wellington (was very dry, not very tasty, needed a sauce.. I didn't eat much of it), and tortellini which is meant to be cacio e Pepe - it was ok, but bland and couldn't taste any pepper at all, definitely needed some more. It's expensive, but even if it was cheap I wouldn't eat here again because the food isn't good. It wasn't busy on a Friday night and I see why.

Food was nice enough but dishes lacked balance. Salmon starter was a large plate of salmon with a smaller amount of bread Main turkey was a huge hunk of turkey with a pitiful garnish of veg, three tiny roast potatoes, 3 small Brussel sprouts and three miniature carrots. Service was bizarre. Despite the place being about 25% capacity the service was very good at clearing empty glasses and plates but awful at taking orders and fulfilling them. On now than one occasion we ordered drinks and 30 minutes later they didn't turn up, seemingly forgotten. When they weren't forgotten they took 10 minutes

We booked at scoff and banter because of the location and it certainly didn't disappoint. Everything we had was amazing! Highly recommended the mushroom wellington, it was worth the extra wait time! The place was really cute and felt formal but not stuffy. Will be...

Arrivati in questo ristorante senza prenotazione, loro cortesi ci hanno fatto accomodare al tavolo e fin qua tutto bene e molto cordiali. Prima che ci venissero a portare il menu abbiamo aspettato 10 minuti e successivamente altri 10 minuti per prendere le ordinazioni. Ci chiedono che acqua volevamo, le abbiamo risposto “una naturale”, la cameriera arriva con dei pezzi di limone che ci butta nei bicchieri e ci riempie a tutti e 3 il bicchiere fino alla fine per riempire tutta la bottiglia nei bicchieri. Successivamente ne porta un’altra, quando noi ne avevamo chiesta solamente una. Avremmo aspettato 40 minuti per l’uscita dei piatti, quindi abbastanza lenti, dato che nel ristorante non c’era troppa gente. Cibo discreto, nulla di che, senza sale il mio fish and chips. Conto, 11,00£ di due bottiglie d’acqua. Per me assolutamente una follia. Non lo consiglio a nessuno. Bocciato assolutamente.

Gutes Buffet, zudem kann man Extras gratis mitbestellen. Sehr aufmerksamer Service, Kaden hat uns sehr nett bedient.

Delicious breakfast, great variety - but the best is the wonderful service! Want to mention especially Lobsang, Geetika and Kishore for making me feel so comfortable. Thank you!

A lovely, quiet break from the noise of London. The food was delicious, the servers were pleasant and attentive, and the prices were reasonable for the utterly delicious meal I had.

We had a lovely light lunch - really enjoyed the crispy duck salad. Kishore and other staff provided attentive and welcoming service. The restaurant is stylish with nice light from large windows on the street. Definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful experience at Scoff & Banter! I would like to specifically thank Kishore who has been so nice with us. He is just an awesome human who excels at his job. Next time I come there I would be happy to see...

Great service from Paritosh and Lobsang. Food quality was nice surprise and excellent value. Thank you

Nice to find a place with nice staff and excellent food, thanks to Paritosh and Co for their service. Had the duck starter, sea bass, and Black Forest trifle. Chilean wine was good too.

After a bit of difficulty finding the restaurant (which is inside the Radison Blu Edwardian Kenilworth Hotel) we were greeted by Paritosh, who showed us to our seats and proceeded to give us excellent service throughout our meal. The sea bass was excellent as were...

I am a vegetarian and it’s not often you find such excellent choices in an otherwise animal based menu. Also, you are not often treated with equal respect as a solo eating woman. In both cases the restaurant excels. Special thanks therefore for the kind...

Once I had dinner and a cocktail at the Scoff & Banter Bloomsbury which is next to the Radisson Blu Edwardian Kenilworth Hotel. The food, drinks and service were always perfect.

Very good experience as French tourists, food is delicious and freshly prepared. Special thanks to Sanjeev for is attention and kindness.

While staying at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Kenilworth Hotel, we enjoyed a breakfast which simply surpassed our expectations. From pastries to fresh fruit, cook breakfasts to some delicious breads, we enjoyed it all... Highly recommended though is the eggs benedict which was absolutely eggcellent! Please...

I had the hot chocolate but it was too milky and not chocolate-y enough. The servers didn’t really give us a second to settle in before rushing to get our order. Not a great experience.

Sanjeev gave very attentive service and I enjoyed the conversation as it was just the right balance of interesting but not intrusive while I had dinner.

Great service and help from Aditya! The food was great as well! Must go! Every server was very kind and helpful!

It was great! We had thought we booked the breakfast when we checked in, but apparently did not go through so they helped us with that! Breakfast was really good and our waiter, Aditya, was super friendly and very attentive and always checking in to...

This is a great spot for casual dining or even a birthday celebration. Breakfasts are also delicious!

Bon accueil, bon service, bonne cuisine.

Went here expecting good scoffing & good bantering but neither arrived at the table

Lots of items in the menu were not there

Paritosh makes the best cocktails!

Very good breakfast à la carte - tasty omelet and coffee

Worst place. They don't have the menu they used to. Now they only have 4 main courses so basically nothing tho choose from.

I stayed at the hotel with my girlfriend for a couple of nights so, we decided to tray the restaurant and actually it went very well, staff was very friendly and professional, food essa soo tasty and also we really enjoyed the cocktails from their list! Definitely we will come back

Great lamb and service by Bart, the restaurant unfortunately was very quiet maybe because of the news! Definitely we will come back
