Came with my partner for drinks and we got a great table with really comfortable chairs. Our waitress was very friendly and polite, we were offered different types of wine, definitely the waitress knew a lot about wine ! Also we had few starters and then steaks for main course. Food was really tasty, no complaints. Coming back for sure!

I went to Gingers bottomless drag brunch show a few weeks ago. All the acts were incredible! It was fun and really inclusive. Definitely worth the visit - but only for the show. I don’t recommend the restaurant at all. I had a bad experience with the restaurant’s waiter who was really unprofessional. When I arrived at our table I sat down on an unstable and wobbly chair. I moved it to the side so that no one else would sit on it and hurt themselves if it broke. Shortly after, the waiter stormed over and scolded me and my friend (who did nothing wrong) for moving the chair because he ‘looked stupid and was confused’ because he didn’t know that I moved the chair. When I explained why I moved it he angrily challenged me stating that it looked fine. I invited him to sit on it. He did. He then removed the broken chair by storming off with it. He came back to scold me again. He moaned at me that I should have told him - how would I know he personally set out the chairs as a customer? Me telling him that he needed to calm down angered him even more. When my friend intervened to try calm him down, he was rude to her too and he stormed off again. Personally, throwing a temper tantrum, overreacting and making a scene in front of everyone, scolding me and then ignoring our side of the table with other guests who weren’t involved for the rest of the event is just plain unprofessional and childish - all for moving an unstable chair. If he was so confused, he could have just walked over and seen the chair placed to the side.

Important to say that the drag show was fabulous. Unfortunately, that doesn't take away from the shocking behaviour of one of the waiters. Probably the most childish, unprofessional and disrespectful interactions I've ever had. Upon shifting an unstable chair to the side, we were berated like children. Incomprehensible ramblings and snarky remarks while stomping around the table grabbing cutlery and the chair. Eventually when I tried to discuss it with him, he rolled his eyes and said "ugh, I'm not even listening to you" and huffed off. If it wasn't so absurd it would be comical really.

Do not book this place for football. We were put in front of a pillar and a bunch of people to watch the screens. When we complained that we paid £60 to reserve we were told to complain to designmynight where we booked.. management did not take responsibility, unbelievable! Alberto was a great waiter and tried to make the best out of the situation which was all we could ask given the sitch. Much appreciated Alberto, you are a role model to your colleagues

We had a Christmas dinner at this place with a big group of people. The food is some of the worst food I have ever had. Salmon with dry bread as a starter. Dry turkey with overcooked potato’s that was so hard we could not chew them. The vegetables were undercooked and hard. The dessert was just horrible…it’s been a long time since I’ve had such a bad food experience at a restaurant🥴

It wasn't that busy but the staff weren't that interested? Perhaps too hot for them? We seated ourselves after a few minutes waiting, got menus for ourselves after 5 mins or so and ordered our drinks direct from the bar after another 5 mins or so waiting for table service. Eventually flagged down a server who took our order and then 19 mins later came back to say that a menu item 2 of us had ordered wasn't available. Food was ok.

Drag Show was probably the beat i have seen but the service was overall just rude. Basically kicked us out when we still had 10 minutes left. Had to ask for more champagne several times (it was bottomless) and i have experienced others. When it come to cut my birthday cake, they told me “you only have 20 minutes, do it in another place”. They should feel embarrassed of the food they served. Will never go back, and only writing this so that people know what they are going for. It was a very poor experience.

Truly dreadful. Went there for a hen do, for a bottomless brunch. Ginger and her crew were fantastic but £300 spent extra on a round of cocktails which didn't arrive and we were asked to leave as next session was being set up for. Manager walked away and wouldn't deal with complaint, offer any explanation or try to diffuse the situation. Esther, one of the servers was the only decent one there who tried to help as much as she could. Totally spoiled what had been a fantastic day. Wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend, far better places in London.

I did request to one of the staff as to why it was so cold and I was told the heating wasn’t working. Disappointing

I mean, lots of people were sat still with their coats on, eating and drinking etc … I asked a member of the staff if they could turn up the heat and they said it was broken … hope it’s not like this next time I visit …

Attended a bottomless brunch here, the service and alcohol servings were generous, but the food has to rank as one of the worst meals I’ve ever had in London. The burger bun was cold and still thawing from the freezer it had been in. The chocolate brownie was inedible. Frankly, I don’t know how you can even make a chocolate brownie inedible. Scanning the room, most people’s plates were unfinished. Hire kitchen staff who can actually cook food, and it’ll be ok.

The place is nicely decorated and not bad. However, the beef burger was overcooked as they would not do a medium cooked burger. To cook rare, medium, etc. the restaurant needs to check they can with the meat supplier. This place has 1) not checked so I would question the quality of the meat or 2) asked and been told no, which points to possible meat quality issues.

Probablement l'une des meilleures expérience en tant qu'allergique! Je connaissais déjà cet endroit pour y avoir mangé à plusieurs reprises lorsque je vivais à Londres et voulais faire découvrir le brunch à ma sœur lors de notre court séjour dans cette fabuleuse ville . Malheureusement toutes deux très allergiques à la cacahuète et à la noix, nous avons directement mentionné cela lors de la prise de commande et quelle surprise de voir autant d'investissement et d'intérêt ! Le serveur m'a mentionné le fait qu'il y a actuellement une contamination avec la moutarde et m'a demandé si j'en étais informée. Le message a été aussitôt transmis à l'une de ses collègue qui est ensuite venue à notre table, ce qui prouve une très bonne et réelle communication entre la team de "The Breakfast club" à spitalfields. Tout était parfait et cela a donné un gout encore meilleure à toute l'expérience, Merci infiniment à la super équipe et à l'investissement des personnes qui y travaille! c'est un tel plaisir de voir cela! Sans mentionner que notre assiette était un vrai délice!
