Searcy's Champagne Bar in Camden

I hadn't visited Searcys for a while but ate there 3 times in the past 2 months. I really enjoyed the fish and chips - the haddock was perfectly buttered and cooked, the tartar sauce and mushy peas were delicious, and the triple cooked chips were ace. I had fish pie the other time which I thought was delicious, but the portion was far too small - it was almost like a small bite portion. I also had bavarois when it was on the menu in Aug which was very delicately made. The ambience is great - a bit art deco but also with a sophisticated, modern feel, and I liked the TV screens. I think there is a young female staff who may need more training, but in general the service was good and plesant.

I have been to this restaurant several times and always impressed with the food, service and ambience. On this occasion the food was tasty, but portions were small and, therefore, very expensive. Service was not up to the usual standard, that I associate with this restaurant. Throughout, the staff seemed to be hurrying us.

Lovely spot to enjoy a drink and relax a little. Staff very attentive and helpful. We sat in a little booth which offered privacy. Was rather cold and the radiator in the booth didn’t work but can see that with the door closed it could be rather snug and cosy. Maybe offering blankets would be a nice idea

I went in for lunch around 3pm. I was seated fairly quickly, given menus, and immediately ordered a cocktail and water. The drinks came, but 25 minutes went by and no one offered to even look at me. By then I needed to get food before my train left so I called someone over and asked for the bill. The server said, "Oh, you're not having lunch?" No. Because I sat here for 25 minutes with no attention. The place wasn't busy. There were more servers than customers. I should have asked them to comp my overpriced cocktail. Rather, they should have offered.

The food was really good. We had three courses and all of them were fresh and delicious. The drinks were pretty slow to come out and the glasses had lots of lint in them from polishing - this is not the worst thing, as the glasses have obviously been polished, but we were confused what it was at first! The service was good, they got our order in quickly and were very nice. The ambiance was really nice, it is quite large and was not even at 30% capacity but we still enjoyed ourselves. It’s a nice restaurant inside and we actually enjoyed how quiet it was.

Thank you for a lovely meal, great venue, and warm staff

Good food and great service, but the experience was rather ruined by a man having a very loud videoconference on his laptop disrupting the restaurant. The staff did nothing.

feedback "Have been a few times previously. Probably now overpriced for what is served although really nice and tasty could probably get more for money in a similar setting in London. Bit slow taking an order for initial drinks which meant I was still drinking my cocktail when food arrived with my wine. Lovely setting and decor always love coming there and team friendly and helpful. I have always had an issue with everyone being able to walk in and use the toilets. Paying £200 for a lunch and having to wait to be seated yet anyone just walks in and uses the toilets!! They are not very clean - there was a tissue on the floor of mine with fresh blood on it and my husband said someone was cleaning their teeth and having a wash in the men’s cloakroom!! Wouldn’t expect this in a fairly expensive restaurant - why are the toilets not just for customers use? Otherwise enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back.

Very good spot for waiting for a train. Davide offered me to try the Lanson champagne the special of the month and i had some food too.Nice place and very good staff will come back for sure

Simona from Italy made me feel so welcome albeit an order of hot chocolate with soya milk. Her colleague Diana from Ecuador came over to check to see if I needed anything else with such grace and smile. Superb service from both and I’ll visit again for sure. Thinking of the yummy hot chocolate…

Came here last minute for dinner with family. Food was good although a little overpriced. However, the 4 star rating is the service from Juan who was attentive and polite.

What a fabulous lunch again - I just love this place and keep coming back Great food - love that we can choose to eat in the Brasserie or Champagne Bar Great location - there is such a such a buzz around St Pancras Lots of different people and their reasons for being there make it interesting and fun people watching, as well as what's going on in the actual Eurostar terminal My Searcy's membership also meant birthday treats for me, thank you Most of all absolutely excellent customer service - this time from Fabio and Lukasa We will be back and highly recommend a visit to anybody who hasn't been (it's more than just a nice restaurant in a big London station)

Very disappointing experience for us for lunch on a Friday. Service was disorganised, slow, our mains had been forgotten and we had to ask again for our side dishes. Both the mussels and salmon were overcooked and dry. Very expensive for what you get and there are much better places in the area.

Food was lovely Service great Easy location Nice ambience

Excellent service as always 👏 and great Smoked Salmon

Outstanding food and great service felt very welcomed in arrival

Wonderful from beginning to end. Absolutely superb in every single way - above all, the service is so supreme, a very rare thing nowadays. We had Sunday brunch, and will be back asap. Congratulations to everyone involved.

First things first, some have mentioned that finding the restaurant can be somewhat difficult. Had the same issue, so go to St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel by walking up the slope, go to the far right of the frontage of the building, through the arch, then go to the left along the Upper Concourse until you reach the Brasserie. Service was exceptional and not rushed, location was immaculate, and each course was served with a comfortable gap in between each serving. The food arrives as a work of art, albeit the pork belly portion was minuscule and was overshadowed by the charred hispi cabbage on the plate. The Searcys gin-cured salmon gravadlax was outstanding, although my favourite course was the pudding - Rhubarb Eton Mess. Great selection of Champagnes available, which was not surprising as Searcys famous Champagne Bar is pretty much opposite the front door of the restaurant.

We were looking forward to our breakfast but were sadly disappointed by the slow service. Food was good however.

This was a birthday treat for my wife and as we have had dinner at Searcy's St Pancras a number of times, but not for a while, it was nice to be back. As always, the food and service was superb. A couple of comments on my starter that may have enhanced the dish a little more, but that was just a small point. Overall the quality was exactly what you expect from this superb restaurant.

This used to be my number one meeting place for coffee or lunch in London, couldn’t be more convenient for anyone travelling to see me. Sorry to say that the prices have rocketed….thats sort of okay, they have everywhere in hospitality. What’s perhaps less acceptable is that the portions have shrunk by an even greater amount. The attached picture of the cheese plate, an eye watering £15, supposedly for two to share, is a good example. The main course ravioli was so x pieces for which the food value can’t have cost the business more than 50p. All in all not good. I don’t see us returning anytime soon.

good location, indifferent food, nice service and a bit pricey.

Very calm and civilised atmosphere to grab a bite to eat between the exiting the train and going on to Heathrow. Very welcoming and attentive staff. Took the prix fixe menu of heritage beetroot and carrot salad, chicken, sun dried tomato stew and wonderfully creamy whipped potatoes and rhubarb Eton mess… a triumph of crisp sweet/tart crystallised rhubarb on meringue and proper whipped double cream. Coffee was also good. Nothing to fault. Recommend highly.

When we arrived the restaurant did not have our booking even though I had responded to the text message they had sent to confirm. The second issue was that they had allowed us to book at 11.30 but the kitchen was closed between 11.30 and 12 to allow them to reset between the breakfast menu and the lunch menu! That all said however the staff were lovely and very attentive the food was delicious and we were served drinks before 12 as they ‘didn’t need to go to the kitchen for those’

We got to St. Pancras a bit early and had a lovely lunch at the Champagne Bar. Great way to prepare for a long trip! The service was lovely.

Went for the Sunday Jazz Feast - bottomless brunch. We don’t drink so we enquired about non alcoholic options. Was pleasantly surprised that they offered a just bottomless food option where we could order drinks separately. Felt like this was a good start, but that was probably the only good surprise we experienced. We were quite disappointed that there were no oysters despite all the PR and reviews saying unlimited oysters. All over IG and Tik Tok it’s reviews about oysters, so that was disappointing. Felt that there were not a huge amount of options for seafood and starters/salads. The roasts looked good but found the meat was seasoned very heavily with salt. The gravy/jus was very watery. Must say the carver was very friendly though! Most of the other hot food (sausages with mash, chicken, risotto) were cold and looked unappetising due to looking dry and congealed. I understand it’s difficult on a buffet to keep things looking fresh but the temperature of the hot food was just too cold. Also not sure why they felt the need to slice the sausages in half? Dessert selection was also very limited and the cheese selection placed on the same table which had a very overwhelming smell. Definitely put me off, I didn’t eat any desserts. Service wise I noticed the tables around us were getting a good level of service, having their bottomless drinks topped up regularly. Maybe it was because we were just ordering our drinks separately and were not consuming alcohol I felt like we didn’t get the same attentive service. Waiters were having conversations with other guests and tables and we barely got a sideways glance. Took ages for us to get someone’s attention to order more drinks, get a top up of water etc. I was tempted to try to ask if I could order oysters but couldn’t get the attention of a waiter so just gave up. Even asking for the bill took longer than needed. Being busy we wanted to free up our table promptly for them. On our departure we barely got a thank you for paying nor a goodbye. Overall feel a bit underwhelmed and slightly cheated that one of the star attractions of this brunch buffet was oysters that weren’t even there. But the contrast in service to other tables and us was what really made this a sour experience. Although vastly more expensive, will probably stick to The Ned or even something like Nobu Shoreditch bottomless brunch.

Great buffet starters & seafood. Amazing attentive staff with sparkling wine top ups . Just a shame all the hot food was cold.

Great start to a skiing holiday in Val Thorens, via the Eurostar. A visit to the Champagne bar and dinner in the adjoining restaurant. Fantastic setting in our own heated booth with easy chairs. Looking at the clock and famous art work. Can recommend the experience and the bottle of Veuve Clicquot was crisp and refreshing. The food and ambience in the restaurant was excellent too.

Went to the brasserie buffett with my wife and had a fantastic time. Had the choice of unlimited champagne or English sparkling wine for 90mins and it was definitely unlimited. Neither of us had an empty glass. The service was impeccable. There was a selection of starters to begin. Followed with an amazing roast dinner main course of lamb beef or chicken. Ended with deserts and a cheese board. Our server Dean was brilliant. He made sure our time at searcys was fantastic.

This bar opposite the Champagne bar has got to have the worst service ever. I have sat outside this bar several times and unless you have a hour or two before your train I suggest you should avoid it.

Attended an "Introduction to the World of Champagne" conducted by the Group's Director of Food & Drink, Martin Dibben. As a group of about 16 we met at Europe's longest champagne bar (at least that was the boast when it opened in 2012) on the upper level adjacent to the Eurostar trains. It is an exciting position but far too noisy when trains are in the station so we quickly retired to the main restaurant. A private room had been created with ample space, seating and low noise levels so we could hear the fascinating introduction. Five different champagnes had been selected each with an outstanding canapes which perfectly complemented the wine. For instance, with the Drappier, Carte d'Or Brut NV we had a hot Croque Monsieur and Quails eggs with caviar in a light pastry flan. Then with the Veuve Cliquot Demi Sec NV, a tiny piece of lemon meringue was offered. Such beautifully prepared nibbles taken with lovely champagne. I was close to gastronomic heaven. Add Martin's well pitched and informative guide and our two hours simply flew by. This is a highly recommended way to spend an afternoon with both friends and new faces.

The location is amazing and is perfect for a treat to end a day in London The Chapel Down (a local produce of Kent) is as always delicious It is expensive which you would expect due to location however some of the staff lacked the necessary skills and professionalism to go with the venue

The staff are terrific. The venue, so comfortable. The charcuterie board is very poor. We paid £25 for a few slices of salami and mini gherkins with dry toast and no butter or olive oil. We were very hungry as had had no breakfast at our hotel. Thankfully, we also ordered a cheeseboard which cost £15, this was more substantial but still very sparse. The charcuterie board possibly cost them £1.50 to make

Cannot rate this brunch highly enough. The quality and choice of the food is off the scale; starters are king prawns, mussels, charcuterie, a range of salads. Mains are 3 types of roast with all the trimmings, as well as sausage and mash and risotto. To finish there is a cheese table and dessert selection. Service is attentive and top ups regular and generous. Definitely worth the money - wish I could go every Sunday!

Stopped here for a quick breakfast while waiting for my train to arrive. Lovely staff and a superb atmosphere. The food was of excellent quality and very enjoyable. Would visit again.

Very nice venue, good food and very attentive service. To be repeated

What a treat having Valentines dinner in this wonderful Brasserie in the stunning and iconic St. Pancras station. We were warmly welcomed by the team and Lukasz the GM. Our waiter Mario Pipo was charming and very attentive and helpful. We started with a glass of bubbly and had the 3 course special Valentines menu. Lukasz and Mario suggested a bottle of Albarino which was the perfect choice with the salmon. The dining room is a chic brasserie and exudes timeless charm. It's warm and unpretentious and the banquette seating creates a cosy atmosphere. For us it was the perfect spot to meet friends with easy access by tube and trains. Thanks again to the team for making our evening memorable and we look forward to another dinner in the future.

It is good experience overall, will consider going again

I wouldn’t bother with the Sunday Jazz lunch again, I would pay more and go elsewhere. They are under staffed and couple of the men waiting tables couldn’t have cared less (walking past dirty plates, chatting amongst themselves having told us to “wait a minute” etc) . The roast was only just lukewarm. We were served exactly 3 glasses of the included fizz in 90 mins - and once we had to ask. Luckily that was enough but I wouldn’t call that unlimited. The first time I came here months ago it was fab. Lots of great staff, glasses refilled regularly and hot food. Will try The Ned next time.

Such a great place to meet, eat or just have a drink. Wonderfully comfortable restaurant with excellent food and exceptional staff. Great experience.

The food and service was impeccable at Searcys. We were well attended to, and the staff were excellent - we never felt rushed or ignored. Presentation of the food was amazing - every course had its little bit of detail to make it that bit more special. My girlfriend had the mussels with mini baguettes for her main, which was very flavoursome and the mussels tasted super-fresh. I had the battered haddock with triple-cooked fries and it was lovely - the tartare sauce was not quite as tart as standard tartare sauce, which was a good thing because it can often overwhelm the taste of the fish. When I originally made the reservation, I'd nominated it as a 'birthday' event (my girlfriend's birthday), but had forgotten it was asked when booking online - so when the waiter turned up at the end of the meal with a plate that had chocolate writing that said "Happy birthday", it finished off a lovely evening at the restaurant. Overall, a great experience - definitely somewhere I'd book again for a special event. The cost of the meal is out of my usual budget, so it's hard to recommend if you're looking for "a dinner with value". But Searcys can't be faulted in the slightest for its great service and tasty dishes.

Excellent service. Food very good. One small issue is the bright lights behind many of the tables such that we were a little blinded in talkin g to our partner who had their back to the lighjt.

Great night out with friends. Great food and ambiance

Great venue. Beautiful design. Comfortable seating. Great menu & wine list. Fantastic dinner as always at Searcy’s.

I took my daughter for a late lunch and the atmosphere was lovely. The service was excellent from several attentive waiters. The champagne was perfectly chilled and the rosemary nuts plentiful and delicious. She had a peanut and chickpea burger while I had a beef burger. Both were very tasty and clearly homemade. My only quibble is with the triple cooked chips which had been sprinkled with salt, rather more salt than either of us is used to. We should have mentioned it straightaway, but we didn't. So I only mention this now so that any potential customers who don't like much salt on their chips are forewarned. They were excellent chips, otherwise, crisp, plentiful and non-greasy. I also had a half of draught Estella and that was well chilled and very good. The staff were quite happy to keep serving us tap water with top-ups and plenty of ice cubes as well. I would certainly go again - the atmosphere was lovely and the staff are professional and friendly - but I would ask them not to pre-salt my chips!

Initially service poor . Had to order drinks three times, with three different members of staff before anything appeared. Exacerbated by table next to us being served in short order.

Wonderful atmosphere and the popcorn chicken starter, I’ve had many times, never disappoints. My one gripe is the state of the toilets, dirty, only 1 out of the 5 had loo paper and doesn’t match the restaurants status - real shame, but won’t stop me going there.

It was the end of our trip and after a meal in the restaurant we sat out in St Pancras and enjoyed a cocktail. Excellent service and a lively pre Christmas atmosphere

Amazing experience!!! Service was excellent, ambience was delightful and the food was delicious and a great selection! My only small critique would be for the gravy to be a thicker consistency and include stuffing with the roast. I will definitely be returning!

We are so disappointed. This was booked as a first; a late Christmas treat for my partner, who loves champagne. We were full of anticipation, and were welcomed warmly. All was fine, until, the gentleman who had looked after us, asked, as is customary, how was our meal. We were honest, having already discussed this, that both our meals, were just about warm. We were already halfway through them, needing to catch a train. The food was delicious, but once we made that comment, the one charming, helpful gentleman gave us the cold shoulder. All pleasantries were out of the window, especially when settling the bill! We were not rude, but don't ask if you don't want honest feedback! In addition, my expectations of the ladies loo were dashed. No loo roll in my cubicle, toilet paper on the floor. It resembled a night club after a busy evening, not the condition I expected from a well known establishment. Sorry, we shall not return.

Excelllent service and delicious food. We had squid and mini burgers (the plate comes with 3 mini burgers) as weren't particularly hungry, and bot dishes were delicious coming in a genererous portion. Berry tart for desert was excellent too - not too sweet allowing to enjoy berry falovors.

We go to Kings Cross Station quite frequently to drop off our niece for her train and have tended to struggle a bit to find different places for lunch which are close to that station, are good places to eat and get round all the challenges for access - she needs support for walking and my wife uses a wheelchair. Searcys ticks the boxes. St Pancras Station where the Brasserie is located is something of a wind tunnel and frosty weather in the minus centigrade bracket doesn't help. However, the restaurant was warm and welcoming. The menu is well priced standards - the fish and chips which I went for was delicious. The myrtille tart was just right for filling any vacant corners. A bottle of Picpoul was decently priced and just was was needed. Yes, it was a good experience and I have to make a specific mention of the staff who were friendly and welcoming, as well as offering helpful advice on what we should choose. Plus the venue has a well designed wheelchair accessible Wc other than the door being a spot on the heavy side. Definitely an addition to the list of places we need to frequent.

Hidden gem among the bustle of St Pancras. A classic elegant brasserie with comfortable seating for chatting and eating. Excellent food from a traditional menu cooked with care. The service team do their job well. Not a bargain but worth it.

I visited on 21st December when the eurostar was cancelled, so everything was quite busy and fractious, my waitress Olivia was delightful, even though some other customers were very rude and impatient with her, for no reason, my food was delivered promptly and was well presented and tasty, except for the chips , they were quite overcooked, my wine was cold and crisp, unfortunately I had actually only gone for oysters and they had not had a delivery, but it means I will have to go again,

Just the place for a mother-daughter lunch. The food was yummy and the service was even better. We were very well looked after by a team of excellent waiters. It's a chic atmosphere that was warmed up with lovely holiday decorations. Fun to be at a train station.

Quickly seated. Service explained. Drinks order taken . Excellent cocktail and good selection of beer and wine. Great table service. Comfortable area to watch the world pass.

Overall, we really enjoyed. The food was tasty, brilliant service and great atmosphere.

The setting is beautiful, the location stunning but please if you’re advertising drinks on the menu at the very least have them in stock. On five separate occasions this year I’ve attempted to order an alcohol free Wild Idol sparkling rosé & not once have you been able to serve it to me as you have none available. I’ve been served mocktails that should contain the rosé & this has been swapped for soda water which obviously affects the taste. The same charge for the drink has also been applied which was surprising, disappointing & frustrating. Perhaps a review of non alcoholic beverage options might be an idea too as currently it’s extremely limited.

Food was great but main highlight was the service. The waiter was absolutely lovely - attentive and warm. It was my son’s 17th birthday and he made it very special.

We booked for a bottomless brunch with buffet food and live jazz. Cannot recommend this enough. First class. Absolutely gorgeous afternoon. Delicious food and the service was outstanding. Will definitely return. Big shout out to Mario who has been with the company for many years and looked after us superbly.

Had lunch and drinks at Searcy’s and it was lovely. The food was delicious and the portions were just right. Service is good and the servers are friendly. The space is clean and well-maintained. I would recommend this place.

Went for a Xmas night out with a friend. The place is lovely, nice atmosphere, staff were friendly. The actual main course of Xmas dinner was surprisingly small and didn't have some of the usual trimmings - like pigs in blankets or parsnips. However what was there did taste very good. The wine was quite overpriced at £33 for a pinot grigio. The main thing that shocked us though was it closed up at 10.30pm on a Friday night. Then on leaving we found most of the surrounding places in the area close at that time too! Not my usual experience of London at all.

Only issue was that Open Table booking for Brasserie was in their system for the Champagne Bar. They accommodated us but clearly some system issue.

Service wasn't great. Had to chase up our drink orders more than once and still a drink was forgotten but added to the bill. Also we had a mince pies included in our set menu which we also had to chase. Food was average.

I really like this place. Food is always excellent, good location and very friendly staff. I had the pork belly which was delicious. The small bites are also good if you’re just in for a quick snack and a glass or two of wine.

Lovely busy traditional vibes . The vegan choices need some work but overall the wine and service was amazing

Comfortable brasseries setting, good amount of space between tables, attentive service but not obtrusive. Food is good value, wine a little expensive. On the upper concourse it's away from the hubbub of the station.

Great food, great service, great ambiance but a little overpriced - eg £65 for an ordinary bottle of Chablis.

having arrived at St Pancras early for my train, i decided to have lunch at Searcy's on the upper level next to the Eurostar platforms. As I was to early for lunch, i had a glass of wine at the Chaampagne bar outside until midday...

Comfortable, clean seating in a very well-appointed room. Delicious food as usual. Great service by friendly staff.

Lovely champagne and fresh oysters! My toddler has a milk allergy so she had the kids menu fish and chips, even the mushy peas they made without cream or butter for her. Thank you! The staff were so attentive and accommodating. Amazing! We will be back!

Excellent food and lovely ambiance. Charming staff when they did make it to the table but it was slow and we had to remind twice for everything we ordered.

Lovely bottomless brunch in a private booth with heating and armchairs… food was delicious along with the free flowing drinks. The experience was made even better by our helpful and friendly waitress Thea. Would highly recommend

Great location food and service, a lovely evening I will return

Unfortunately we had a really disappointing experience, the food was ok however our waitress clearly had some hygiene issues. The smell of body odour was just so overpowering and completely put us off our food. We didn’t raise the issues whilst dining however management clearly...

Had a pleasant meal at the station accompanied by good quality champagne. Great service and ambience in a platform booth.

Food outstanding. Really was the best meal I’ve had this year.

Four of us had dinner here. We wanted somewhere stylish but not too expensive. It was a Thursday and many places were busy. This brasserie was an oasis of calm and sophistication despite being in a busy railway station. We had the set menu which at £29 for three courses was excellent value and delicious. Service could not have been better by a waiter who could easily have been singing opera on an insurance comparison site. Recommend.

Terrible service. Popped in for drinks to treat my sister in law for her birthday. We were seated and then ignored for 15 minutes whilst others who came in after us were served. Walked out.

You would think a restaurant in a train station would be used to serving people efficiently and accurately. Unfortunately, the service here was abysmal, we were there for almost an hour and a half, our first round of coffees took nearly twenty minutes, our toasts were burnt, our eggs were overcooked - and all of this in a restaurant where only 5% of the tables were filled. I was surprised to see such a lovely restaurant with so many last-minute bookings available on OpenTable - now I see why.

Went for dinner with family and we opted for the à la carte menu. Colchester oysters, absolutely superb and plump, served perfectly with delicious shallot sauce and lemon went down a treat. The Parmesan soufflé also superb. Real treat. Fish and chips very good, and...

I was expecting outstanding food due to the rating and the prices, however I was very disappointed!
