The service was good and quick, its table service now which is much more convenient than how things were before. Maybe don’t expect smiles, but the food and quickness with which you get it makes up for that. The salt beef sandwich is still great.

THIS IS NO LONGER THE EXCELLENT PLACE FOR SALT BEEF IT ONCE WAS. THE SALT BEEF QUALITY HAS GONE, SANDWICH CONTENT HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED AND MANAGEMENT IS ARROGANT. I HAVE BEEN VISITING SINCE IT OPENED SO I CAN REMEMBER BEING SO FULL FROM A SALT BEEF SANDWICH THAT IT WAS A FABULOUS PLACE TO EAT. ON 30 AUGUST 2024 I VISITED AT 11:45 TO HAVE MY LUNCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS SO MUCH FAT AND GRISTLE IN MY SANDWICH THAT I COMPLAINED. THE WOMAN MANAGER COULD NOT CARELESS AND WHEN I POINTED OUT THAT THERE MUST BE A REDUCTION IN FILLING COMPARED TO YEARS GONE BY SHE ADVISED THAT THE PRICE HAD NOT CHANGED BUT THE FILLING WAS LESS. SHE MADE NO COMMENT ON THE QUALITY BUT DID ADMIT THAT MY CUCUMBER HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY SLICED. I WAS SO HUNGRY THAT I HAD TO ORDER ANOTHER SANDWICH BUT A FAT FREE SANDWICH BUT THE SANDWICH WAS NO DIFFERENT AND LACKED FILLING. I SHALL NEVER GO BACK AS YOU NEED TWO SANDWICHES AND END UP PAYING A LOT. BUYER BEWARE AS YOU NOW PAY A LOT AND THE STAFF ARE SURLY AND UNHELPFUL. SELFRIDGES HAS LOST THE PLOT HERE. THANKFULLY REUBENS IN BAKER STREET WILL REOPEN IN A FEW MONTHS AND HOPEFULLY WILL PROVE TO BE A BETTER OPTION FOR MY SALT BEEF NEEDS. A VERY DISAPPOINTING VISIT BUT IT IS THE STAFF WHO ONCE MADE IT HUM BUT ARE NOW COMPLETELY INDIFFERENT TO CUSTOMERS. I PAID FULL PRICE FOR MY LUNCH WITH NO GOODWILL GESTURE WHATSOEVER.

What’s gone wrong here? This cafe used to be a great experience, but now fails to shine in any way. Some of the bread from my sandwich had been sitting too long and contrasted in softness with the second half, part of the order was forgotten, and the service simply lacked any of the style that Selfridges delivers across the rest of the store. Disappointing.

We came here for a quick lunch while shopping. The staff (Tarek and Mario) were very friendly and took their time to go through all the ingredients for our allergies. The food was not good at all… we waited ages for a beetroot sandwich in which all the ingredients came from the can and the bread was extremely soggy. The salads were quite good and the bagel was fine. The food was severely overpriced for the quality.

I strongly recommend Asian tourists not to go there. You're not really welcomed there. I think low star rating speaks for itself. If it wasn't in Selfridges, it would've gone out of business long ago. My husband and I sat on the table where the lady at the counter pointed, and some waiter asked us if we were guided to sit there(personally I think he should've checked with his colleagues, but I guess they don't communicate with each other enough and at least he seemed nice to 'his' people), still I can understand to that extent but the problem was with this black waitress who brought us drinks. I've never felt that kind of hostile and stuck up attitude from anyone while I've been staying in London. She never said thank you of any good byes and the way she stared at us was plain offensive. I guess she should've chosen different job to do if she has problems serving Asian tourists or anyone. It's obvious she wasn't 'educated' from the store manager to do her job well. There was only one decent waitress with blond hair and she was the only reason why I paid for the service charge. And food? It was simply salty beef, mustard and the pickled cucumber, which was quite.. interesting.

This little restaurant inside Selfriges serves a signature salt beef (corned beef) sandwich that is ridiculously good. So tender and delicious on rye, brown or white bread with English mustard and a gherkin pickle on the side. They even partially slice the gherkin so you can put it on the sandwich if you want. So good. You wouldn’t think it inside a department store but yeah give it a try.

The food we had was of good quality and was very tasty, You could argue that it is overpriced for what it is there again you are in London and in Selfridges however if they want to charge a premium, the service needs to be better. The waiters were not attentive, did not come across friendly and were even somewhat blunt. The food is decent however if you are expecting outstanding customer service, do not come here and expect to pay a premium.

I ordered two items. Signature Salted Beef sandwich and beef sausage Hotdog. First time eating. Salted beef sandwich, I love it. The salted beef seeds are soft and easy to bite off. The portion is big, but I think the cucumber dip is not enough. If more, it could balance out the corned beef flavor. The hot dogs were average and the beef sausages were of average quality. Not too powdery, but I wanted a bit more beef tendon texture. There could be more pickled cabbage. Mustard. The French brand has never been strong enough for my personal taste. Overall five stars. Because I learned D.

"This place is best avoided. With the abundance of high quality options in London, it is not worth visiting. The offering is basic and the prices are comparable to other higher quality establishments. We ordered a lemonade that tasted like water with syrup for £5, and a chocolate cake for £6 which wasn't up to par with supermarket basics. In short, there are plenty of other, more decent places available, whether in Selfridges or elsewhere outside of it."

I was in Selfridges for my birthday today with 2 friends and we were refused entry because we had “ outside food” ie cakes bought in the Hall where they told us we could go and sit down in the coffee shop. We were told we could not eat outside food due to allergies reasons. We then decided to purchase a take away coffee as the manager told us we would go and sit further down but again no sits available anywhere and they are all privy to other concessions. We came back to drink our take away coffee and decide not to eat as told only to be told that we had purchased take away coffee therefore could not sit inside !!! Sebastian the store manager blamed the rules of the store and his manager and explained that he couldn’t allow it, never thought of putting our coffees in mugs then or think outside the box . To cap it all , they had a homeless guy sitting there and eating his pot noddle!!!! We told Sebastian who explained that he did not realised then said that he had been there for 4 hours. Staff is rude , just make up rules , it’s ok for Selfridges to have homeless people eating their own food purchased from outside Selfridges and not spend a penny in the store and that does not qualify as a risk of allergies to other customers. The staff is so woke and hide behind rules that don’t make sense, we were refunded after complaining. Not surprised to read other poor reviews , the food is nothing special, the attitude is something else and arguing with customers for the sake of letting them drink their coffee bought in the store makes no sense whatsoever! Thanks Sebastian u rock!

I would give it zero stars if I could. I have NEVER been treated with such disrespect in my entire life, I am over 50. I was in the Selfridges Foodhall with 2 of my friends, similar age. All of us dressed very smartly after a birthday lunch. We bought some expensive cakes at the Foodhall and they told us to get a coffee at any of the other food areas and have the cake then. We got the Brass Rail and asked for a coffee and were told immediately when they saw our cake bags that we cannot have the cake at their tables. We told him we bought it next to them inside the Foodhall. Sebastian the manager was extremely rude and dismissive. There were free tables all over. We bought a take away coffee from them and thought ok we will try find a little place to sit. We walked around and there was nothing despite there being a lot of different food outlets selling various foods in the foodhall. The strangest thing was when we moved away from the entrance we noticed a man who looked homeless with a trolley eating, A POT NOODLE! AT ONE OF THEIR TABLES. So how did we get told no you cannot eat a Selfridges cake with the coffee you just bought from them but a man is sitting eating a pot noodle and they don't say anything. When we asked Sebastian about this he was rude and first said he did not know which is absolute nonsense and then he said but he bought other food and lastly changed his story to that the man was there from this morning? Even worse as he took up a table from 10 am till 15:30?? This was absolutely ridiculous that he singled us out. We Then went back to the Brass Rail and sat down near the window where there were lots of empty seats only to be shouted at by one of the waitresses to say you cannot sit there. No real reason given. We then again said could we then sit at one of his tables and he said no you have take away coffee cups. He just gave them to us. At this point we were so shocked at the absolute rudeness we had endured by Sebastian and his staff and the absolute disregard to try and let us just sit down. Even after telling him it is my friends birthday. He was profiling us for whatever reason. We then asked him for a refund as we had then had enough and it absolutely spoiled our day and experience. I will email the company as well but at no point did Sebastian try to be nicer and just let us drink the coffee we just bought. It was the most shocking rudeness I have ever encountered in my life. I am disgusted that they can treat customers this way and get away with it. Not only was Sebastian the manager rude but all the staff there had a terrible attitude and were so utterly incompetent. I have had better service in a McDonalds. Avoid at all costs.

Food was good. It’s selfridges, so not cheap. Service non existent. Had to flag waiter down after numerous other tables that arrived after us were served. Food dumped in front of us. No follow up to see if everything ok. Had to wave waiter down as coffee never came with other drinks after 20 minutes. Then coffee arrived with no sugar or spoon, unlike other tables served around us. Had to get up and ask at counter for spoon. Had to get up and ask for bill, despite line of people waiting to be seated, as couldn’t catch ANY waiters eye. Refused to pay for added service fee. No one seemed to be looking after certain tables. Waiters looked miserable. Think I should get a job here with the amount of service tip they automatically charge! Management need to do something about service!

I've been here on several occasions and loved it every single time! People would consider it pricey, but the quality is excellent & as a big eater, honestly, the food fills you up. I would recommend against ordering your food with English mustard unless you're aware of how strong it is.

Tried the Brass Rail Reuben sandwich as recommended by Tarek who is a very amiable, very polite and great service crew. I enjoyed the sandwich. The place seemed to only have two staff at the time managing over 20 tables but they did so with speed, courteousness, and great service. I shall be back. 😋 The place was full at lunch time with a queue of people waiting to eat their sandwiches.

Scrumptious! This is my top-choice sandwich in all of London.

As London changes at lightning speed it is reassuring that some places remain steadfast. The Brass Rail is one of them. Simple, precise and consistently good. If you want a world class salt beef or ox tongue sandwich on superb caraway-rye bread there is none...

Been coming here for years. As you will read elsewhere it is not Katz in NY but to be fair it never could be. They seemed to have dropped the rye bread which is a shame. Most of the little Jewish delis of my youth have disappeared in London. So if you need a pastrami fix in central London this is your best bet. If Katz is 5 this is a near 4.

Nice enough food, not terribly priced considering where you are although nearly £5 for a bottle of coke is close to silly. What made it was the service, Flynn was excellent. Engaging, friendly and interested. Credit to the place.

The service was good and they are attentive to and friendly with customers. The food was nice but average. Nothing too fancy. You can probably get the same quality of food for a lesser price elsewhere. The only reason this cafe is overpriced is because it is inside of Selfridges. It is also quite noisy but is convenient if you are shopping in or around Selfridges on the day and need a coffee break.

We were disappointed for the first time. After standing in a queue for 14 mins which we can understand. After 11 mins after being seated I had to look for the responsible person to take our order. When the order was delivered it was the wrong order for one of us. Happens but i expect better service

The best place to get a warm salt beef sandwich you can dream of . I never miss it when in London . Take away or sitting . I recommend on rye bread, English mustard and gürken in vinegar. Just perfect !

Server was brusque, led us to a table dropping of couple of menus onto on her way past and left before we were seated. Ordered man and cheese, but it was pretty bland. My wife asked for a fork, rather than the soup spoon which...

I have been coming here for years when I am in London and it never disappoints. I had the regular salted beef sandwich - no fat - and it was as tasty as ever…maybe a little less meat than last time. Only negative was the...

The roll was not easy to eat as it was just before closing time. The bread had probably gone dry. Salt beef was good. Service was good. I was seated in the middle of the cafe. So no shoppers rushing past while i struggled with...

Called for a cake and drink, a little wait for a table, which is understandable at busy times. However they were quick to take the order and really slow to bring the full order, bearing in mind we ordered 2 cold drinks and a slice...

Amazing location on the outskirts of Covent garden and smack dab in the middle of the West end theaters. The staff was super helpful, rooms clean, and a good breakfast should you choose to eat there before venturing out. Close to tube and bus stops as well.

Nice to rest and have light snacks and cafe. I liked the lamps and the ceiling a lot. Worth to stop after getting tired of the beautiful exhibitions in the galleries

Curt female bar staff, not very welcoming. Fine for a quick pit stop, but little else.
