The Folly Bar in City of London, Westminster

A complete rip off. Took our order but failed to deliver. Ran out of roast beef and yorkshire pudding on a Sunday lunchtime. Supplied three tiny slices of beef with no yorkshires 15 minutes after other members of our party had received huge half chicken portions. Should not have accepted the order. They did not offer an alternative or apologise for their failure

Beautiful bar and spacious. Drinks were great too!

Didn't eat here so can't comment if food. But the espresso Martini Hideaway was FABULOUS!

Terrible food, worst restaurant of the year. Ordered buttermilk pancakes, turn out they became 'bitter'milk pancakes. The pancakes are so bitter that I almost puked. (I wonder how they made them, never thought a proper restaurant could fail in pancakes.). I used to finish all dishes even they are not very good ,but this time I had to tell the staff that the pancakes are so unacceptable, and I refused to eat. Services is bad. People around us had all been served water except us, until we requested for the second time. After I complained the dish, no apology from the staff or manager. Instead, the manager and the lady who served us, very obviously avoided to make eye contact with us. Price not cheap but the food and service are honestly not up to standard, very terrible and disappointing. My weekend was ruined, thanks.

This restaurant is absolutely divine (i.e. 200/10). 🥂 The place is magnificent, the food delicious, no waiting, the servers are smiling and pleasant. Frankly this address is flawless. PS: don’t hesitate to go to the toilet, the detour is worth it! PS: the waffle chicken is delicious

Roast wasn't good beef was overcooked, chips were OK, salmon and samphire were both overcooked, only chicken on waffle was nice. dessert wasn't good as well. The ambience and service were good.

Great service combined with amazing food!

The food was rather plain, but I quite liked their drinks collection and they even had nice wine on their menu. The service was quite good, quick and the staff was friendly. Good for after work drinks given the location. Not that amazing for a meal.

Great place for a lunch, very nice range of dishes on the menu.

Rachel quickest pint in london FACTS. 0.5 seconds Amazed Will come again

Beatrice and Ethan are phenomenal, such excellent service and friendliness

The staff are excellent. Really pleasant and efficient. We were sat at a table with comfy chairs that have blankets and cushions on so very relaxed. We weren’t rushed. The food came out in good time. The only thing that wasn’t quite there was the desserts. The steamed sponge and chocolate brownie were very very dry. Everything else was perfect, so had a great experience

This place has a lovely vibe and a cosy atmosphere. The food is great, and the prices are very reasonable. Downstairs is a fun area for drinks and dancing with some fantastic music. Mim provided excellent service; she was polite and very helpful. She even brought us a brownie for our friend's birthday and sang the birthday song for us. Overall, it was an amazing experience!

It’s just so hard to get service and then so slow to get drinks . My bottle of water took over 23 mins to arrive I am sooo thirsty what the hell

Great food and service as always. Thank you Anjali for looking after us 😊

Food was a bit faffy honestly, but RACHEL made our entire night, she was so lovely the whole way through and very fun to be around, everytime I needed her she was literally right behind me, want to take her home with me :( love you rach xxx

Not bad but a little crowded sometimes.

Had chicken skewers and the rump steak. The chicken skewers were wet and if it wasn't for the fact I could see they were cooked I would have thought they were still raw based on the texture. The steak was cooked well but had no flavour. The chips were the dregs of the bag, small and mostly air. If it wasn't the fact that the people I was with had a much better experience then this would have been a 2 star review.

Did the cocktail making class - Arjun was amazing 🤩🤩

Gigi was amazing, Great recommendations and great customer service, would highly recommend

What a great, social place, amazing

Look pretty place but personal wasn’t nice with me

Very dark, multiple people using torches to see the menu. Very loud, waiter couldn’t hear so lead to multiple incorrect drinks. The decor is very nice. Portions are small. Part of the Drake and Morgan group; there are nicer examples than this.

I went for a meetup event, nice place.

I didn't eat, but the drink was ok and not expensive

Gigi was amazing! Best server ever!

Gigi was great - he gave us everything for free for this review! 😊

Great place, thanks for the amazing service GG!

Gıgı ,thank you for everything 🤩

Gıgı thanks for service we have good time

Gıgı . The food and everything was amazing.Furthermore, gigi was very helpful and kind. Thx for service

One of the best fish and chips in London. Excellent service. They have detailed menu outlining the allergens. Very clean and well designed toilets.

Gigi was a great host. Loved the food and wine. Good atmosphere.

Slight confusion on arrival as reception couldn’t find the OpenTable booking. Was resolved reasonably quickly.

Good food, fast service. Nice design and god place for meeting with friends

Great bar for a post work drink, Rachel was especially fab - she made a lovely cocktail! :)

I had booked The folly for a friends 50th with a group of friends. The decor was beautiful with a nice autumn feel . We was first greeted by Beatrice at the beginning of our booking she was very smiley and friendly and extremely welcoming. We had a cocktail making session it was hosted by Ethan he was absolutely amazing nothing was too much trouble he was very friendly and joint in with laughter , I would definitely recommend The folly

Laura, Hazel, and the team at The Folly are fantastic; a real pleasure to work with when planning and hosting a large event. They took us through various options for our event(s), helped us with the decision-making process, and ensured everything ran super-smoothly. I would have no reservations in recommending The Folly if you're looking to host your event in an awesome venue with great service, and offering fantastic value.

Great place, with great atmosphere! Our waiter Gigi’s service was impeccable!!! I really recommend this place for a nice night out!

Gigi was amazing! Coming back for sure after the amazing experience.

Gigi Very good service and very helpful with the menu and wine . Thank you We will come back again Hopefully soon.

Walked in for a drink with my company and was served by Louisa who had the worst attitude and customer service ever received in any London bar was in there less than 5 minutes and decided to go elsewhere due to her behaviour absolutely unacceptable and terrible the Folly is not how it once was stay clear of this place

Really enjoyed the mushroom and burata tortellini. Served by Gigi, who was lovely, attentive, funny and friendly

Great experience and lovely waiter called Gigi

Service was absolutely amazing from Gigi

Gigi, our server was a truly incredible showman. Yes, the food was great, but he made it incredible

The main, the fish and chips was very sad, but the starter and the dessert were so good!

Mr bingi the bar tender is so amazing

Such a beautiful place and the food was great! Gigi took great care of us and made great suggestions! We would love to come back here and try other things too!

The food is perfect and lovely atmosphere. Also friendly staff; Gigi recommended us the food and we really satisfied.

Great spot for lunch, the roast squash salad was really good. GG’s service was also super attentive.

Rude and slow service. Food was ok-ish

We ate here at the beginning and end of our trip. Both times everything was excellent. Coincidentally, the waitress Anjali was there for us both times. She was very friendly and helpful. We would order from her again at any time. An excellent restaurant with exceptionally good food.

Great food and Amazing decor. The staff was really helpful. We had Gigi for a waiter who was really friendly and helpful.

Amazing place - Gigi was very attentive and we really enjoyed ourselves

Highly disproportionate quality/price ratio. Very nice place but staff not always friendly. The main courses are good but the desserts are terrible.

Wir waren zur Mittagszeit dort und haben uns für Fish&Chips entschieden. Das Essen war sehr gut und der Service hervorragend. Ganz toll ist auch die Einrichtung bzw. das besondere Ambiente dieses Lokals.

The only downside for us is how noisy it was. We couldn't hear ourselves, almost like a marketplace, unfortunately. Aside from the noise, the food was nice and the service good

Wonderful dining experience! Our server, Reshma, was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place!

Reshma was our server today and she was wonderful. We really enjoyed the service, atmosphere but most of all the beef Sunday roast.

Reshma was a brilliant and friendly host. Nice atmosohere and good food.

Excellent food and great service. Thank you Reshma!

Had a very calm and smooth time at the Folly and Reshma made sure everything was fine and was always ready to make the experience better

R - responsive E - eloquent S - splendid H - hard-working M - magnificent A - amazing RESHMA was a brilliant waitress! A fantastic venue, with even better service.

Our visit to “The Folly” was simply amazing. One guest was not allowed milk or gluten, there were lots and lots of special requests and everything was delivered as ordered. Everything tasted delicious and the portion sizes were great. What we liked best about our visit was our waitress Reshma, she was totally helpful and open-minded. Thank you for that! PS: Be sure to visit the toilets, they are really nice ;)

It was An absolute culinary delight. Our waitress Reshma was fantastic. LOVED the experience. Would brunch again. <3

Gigi was a great host and looked after us well!

Very good atmosphere, original and neat decoration. The food is good there 😄

Incredible food and atmosphere and great service from Gigi!

Took 2 out of town friends here for dinner & although the atmosphere in this place is cool the service is so unbelievably long and scatty. Our server was lovely however & that’s the only reason we we didn’t leave annoyed but for the price point the service should be a lot better. We all ordered the sirloin steak which was chewy & bland & one of our friends came well done when she ordered medium . After waiting 45mins to order our mains turned up midway through our starters & then our drinks didn’t arrive until after our mains despite chasing 3 times. Again want to mention our waiter was lovely but looked rushed off his feet with multiple tables to look after. For the standard & price point of this restaurant hire more staff & take more care over your mains being delicious for the prices being charged.

Great welcome and very fast service. We were attracted by the flowery front and were not disappointed. The interior is beautiful and the food is excellent. Reshma was very attentive to our requests and was very responsive. Thank you so much! One point that can be emphasized: it may be noisy. But that’s part of London’s charm!

Food was delicious,lovely atmosphere,beautiful setting ,Reshma was our server and was fantastic

This waiter was the best ever! This food was so delicious 😋 I love this place, thank you for the amazing quality service! I’m in love with the fries 🍟 And the arancini was great 🥰🥹 A huge thank you to Jay and Nafa.

Gigi provided excellent service and was extremely attentive. Had a great time dining at the folly - the duck salad was the best I’ve tried.

Gigi was amazing so helpful and made us smile! The sticky toffee pudding was divine! And so was the duck salad!

Gigi was simply fab - helpful attentive and very friendly

Truly spectacular place, well-kept and clean in every detail, even the bathroom is wonderful! We ate really well, super tasty breakfast burger, and crispy and good onion rings. We also took a special full works, the only flaw was the chips which arrived cold, but the rest of the dish made up for that lack very well. We were served by Reshma, very sweet and friendly! As soon as I return to London I will happily return there. Well done guys! Greetings from Salento 🇮🇹
