The Melody Restaurant in Hammersmith and Fulham

Very courteous staff. The food was all of excellent quality. The only flaw was that the starter I had was too cold... in my opinion it should have been kept slightly warmer. The portions of the second course are abo Nice environment but too sacrificed. Finally, the bill is proportionate to what the environment offers. In conclusion, a recommended place

Me dijeron que el chef estaba apagado cuando tomó 40 minutos traer un cubo de hielo para el vino - difícil de resolver el vínculo entre un chef y un cubo de vino. La comida era realmente extraño y bastante horrible - pescado quemado, espárragos crudos, ñoquis triple hervido (alimento para bebés) y así sigue. Sentí mucha pena por los camareros - hicieron todo lo posible y redujeron la cuenta cuando nos quejamos de la comida. Pero dado que era una celebración de cumpleaños hubiéramos preferido tener comida decente en lugar de un descuento. Ha sido genial en el pasado, así que una verdadera pena. Realmente espero que pueda encontrar su camino de nuevo - lugar encantador y muy local, pero por el momento es difícil de recomendar.

El bar de whisky Melody tiene una excelente selección de whisky y organizan algunas degustaciones de whisky increíbles. Esta fue una cena - la comida por sí sola merece una estrella Michelin - acompañada de unos excelentes whiskys con una buena presentación de humor. Esperamos asistir a más de estos en un futuro próximo.

Bland food, comical service and overall disappointing booking.

Charming decoration for Christmas. Excellent value for money for tea time with the unlimited champagne version. Very caring and attentive staff. I go back there every year for Christmas with great pleasure!!!

Went here for a champagne afternoon tea (not a voucher one) and was left sorely disappointed. The smoked salmon that used to come with a small load of bread had the most crunchy toast that was almost inedible it was so hard and there was no butter. The scones came wrapped in a napkin and I would have hid in a napkin I was such an awful scone. They were more like hockey pucks. The waitress did apologise when they delivered it and said something had gone wrong - I'll say! The sandwiches were quite bland, no butter and no seasoning. The cakes were nothing to write home about and it took 40 minutes to come out. Was definitely not worth the trip to London and nowhere near worth the price. We won't be back. As a side note we did get a free glass of prosecco to make up for the scones.

The slowest service I had in a very long time, will never come back here again

The serve is excellent, their coffee and breakfast are great, I do recommend this nice cafe

We had champagne afternoon tea at The Melody restaurant.Everything was delicious, and the scones were the best I have ever tried!The staff was amazing!It was a lovely,calm, and relaxed Sunday afternoon!We definitely we will go back again!

The restaurant is very nice, with a calm and warm atmosphere. We ordered the afternoon tea and it was quite good, especially the scones, which were delicious. But the sweets were mediocre and the price was too high for what it is. I recommend the experience as a foreigner but I would not repeat the expense.

We visited this restaurant for a Sunday roast as a family of five, and I can confidently say it was the best roast we’ve had in ages. The food was beautifully presented, with portions that were spot-on—not too little, not too much. Every bite was a delight, with flavors so rich and comforting that we savored every mouthful. The desserts were simply heavenly. Each one was beautifully crafted and indulgent, leaving us fully satisfied yet wishing we had room for more. We walked out feeling content, grateful, and already excited to return. The service was outstanding. Every staff member was attentive, warm, and made us feel truly valued and spoiled. The chef coming out to greet us added such a lovely personal touch, especially when he surprised my daughter with a special scoop of ice cream. That gesture absolutely made her day and created a memory for all of us. Our whole experience was phenomenal, from start to finish. We’re already planning our next visit! A huge thank you to everyone, especially the head chef and the attentive waiting staff, who made our day so memorable.

What can I say afternoon tea with a glass of bubbly 🍾

Me and my pregnant wife went this afternoon after being bought a voucher. Everything started off fine after having starters, but then we got to the Sunday lunch. My wife ordered the pork which was completely frozen, cold to the touch. For a fine dining experience I’d at least expect my food to be cooked through and a therefore have a good level of food safety, especially as my wife is pregnant. We were offered a re-cooked meal however didn’t want to risk eating more food from somewhere that clearly doesn’t have a basic level of food safety.

Visité hoy para un almuerzo dominical y se sirvió vientre de cerdo que estaba frío y congelado en el medio. Reservamos como parte de un vale que recibimos como regalo y habíamos viajado a Londres especialmente para ello, solo para estar totalmente decepcionados. Esto muestra 0 seguridad alimentaria, sin comprobar la temperatura de la carne. Me ofrecieron una nueva comida o postre gratis, pero me negué ya que estoy embarazada y no quería arriesgarme a comer más alimentos de algún lugar sin seguridad alimentaria básica. Incluso trataron de cobrar un cargo por servicio además de los entrantes adicionales y el agua que pedimos, afortunadamente, aceptaron que no paguemos por los entrantes después de la comida y la experiencia terrible.

Only came for the whisky bar, so can't comment on the food. The whisky however...wow! Around 600 bottles on offer with prices to match most budgets. You can get a decent Islay or Speyside malt for around £5 but some are rare and so crazy expensive. They also do some great cocktails plus other drinks if whisky aint your thing! Service is spot on - they bring you the bottle so you can read about the whisky and see where it has come from. It's a beautiful little place too with outdoor space and in the park grounds. Wonderful experience.

The worst restaurant I’ve ever been to. The waiting staff are trying hard, but seem to have never been in a restaurant before. The food on the menu is not what appears on the plate (gravadlax is smoked salmon CURED in dill… not just emptied out the packet). The started advertised as coming with ‘sourdough’ came with crackers. We were told “we don’t have bread” This is a restaurant with NO BREAD! When it did arrive the food was cold and undercooked. They even tried to save on gravy! The whole thing feels like a scam set up to exploit unlucky people who have been gifted vouchers. On the plus side it became funny after a while, and they did take the drinks off the bill (but not before the waiter tipped one on us and then tried to serve the same bottle!) check it out if you want to write a sitcom.

Food that was incorrectly described - menu items were not what I or my partner were served. Spilt drinks, no bread in the whole place seemingly?!?!, cold and undercooked main - all in all the worst I’ve had for a long time.

Went for afternoon tea and the service was abysmal. We tried several times to attract the attention of the server's and were actively ignored. This was brought to the attention of the manager, who did not seem to care and did nothing to rectify the situation. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone.

We reserved a seating via The Fork service online but reataurant didn’t have it. Luckily they still had room for us. Afternoon Tea food was excellent and very tasty. One minus star comes from the tea, which was quite basic bag tea in a pot. We also shoukd have taken only 2 servings of food since our 10 year old couldn’t eat as much as adults. Same price from all of us. Staff was very helpful and friendly, I can recommend this place.

Fresh seafood well presented and delicious. Priced reasonably and nice relaxing atmosphere. Enjoyed my dinner.

Het was echt heel lekker, aardig personeel maar 1 mannelijk personeelslid heeft bij het afrekenen op eigen houtje 12,5% tipgeld gerekend a £ 16,19 En natuurlijk zien wij dit veel later op de bon staan. Beetje onsympathiek om het zo te doen bij argeloze toeristen en de ervaring een nare bijsmaak te geven.

It was really delicious, nice staff but 1 male staff member charged a 12.5% ​​tip of £16.19 on his own initiative when paying. And of course we see this on the receipt much later. A bit unsympathetic to do it like this to unsuspecting tourists and to give the experience a bad aftertaste.

Went for an afternoon tea. Great selection of food and many choices of tea. The staff “Vicky” was extremely helpful and attentive. There was a BBQ party in the garden on the day we went so it was a little noisy and smelly with all the grilled food. However both my sister and I enjoyed our time there. Thank you!

A total rip off! We ordered two cocktails and this is what they served us!!!

Worst afternoon tea Staff didn’t bother to check on us on the room we were placed. Each time we gad to walk to the bar to get their attention Taste of the sandwiches were bad and bland. Dry focaccia served

This evening I brought my family to this exquisite place. We had the fabulous most delicious Sunday Roast. The Chef is Gianluca who presented himself once we had eaten. What a delight. The Chefs amazing food as well as superb service. Thank you and most definitely shall be returning to this wonderful place. 💫💫

Wonderful! Delicious! We had the Set Menu for lunch today - only £25. The food was delicious and very generous portions. We started with duck pate, followed by tender lamb, cooked perfectly, smashed potatoes & a wonderful selection of vegetables and finished it off with an amazing panna cotta. We’ll be back!

Fuimos a tomar un té por la tarde y estaba bastante ocupado, pero todavía agradable. Teníamos un surtido de comida y sándwiches. El personal era muy servicial. Los sándwiches eran frescos y los pasteles eran encantadores. No tuvimos una recarga de sándwiches, pero sí de té. Bonito ambiente y bonita zona ajardinada. Los pasteles también estaban deliciosos.

Disappointed in our visit for afternoon tea, 40 minute wait for food from sitting down is too long in our opinion. The service was slow bringing out salmon plate we had to ask for as it never arrived, I had no cutlery for some reason. Others were getting served before us when they came in later. The food was good & couldn't eat it all so asked for it to be boxed so we could take it away, the waitress bought 2 boxes to our table for us to do it ourselves yet she took another tables food away to be boxed. We asked her to box them seeing as they add a service charge on the bill. Also waited ages for the bill & had to ask twice. Unfortunately won't be back as theres better places to go It spoilt my partners birthday.

Great experience of Eng. afternoon set for the starters!

Tried the tasting menu. It was delicious and portions are big

I took my mother here for a birthday afternoon tea which was really lovely and special. The service was swift and excellent, with warm and friendly staff who looked after us very well. The food was plentiful, with delicious finger sandwiches, cakes, and scones coupled with the brilliant English Breakfast blend and signature champagne. It was a rainy day, but the restaurant interior was gorgeous, with paintings and classical décor across the room. I will be bringing my family next time!

Great setting within a hotel with view out to a pretty garden. Elegant fittings and promising menu that fails to deliver the same standard. Went with a The Fork promotion otherwise quality/price ratio would have been completely off the scale (not in a good way).

Top... typical English hotel restaurant of the past

I have just returned from an amazingly delicious cream tea at the Melody Restaurant in Hammersmith. I highly recommend the restaurant and the food, but especially the service. All the staff were extremely polite and helpful, but I found Anthony to be incredibly charming, hospitable and an absolute pleasure to be served by.

Had an amazing and filling afternoon tea here. I checked the prices vs quality at other London places and this place is top-notch. Generous portions and amazingly delicious. Only detraction would be that I wish the service could be more attentive at times and that they have a wider selection of loose leaf tea. Nevertheless, definitely recommend and would go again.

Very nice food, staff are all very friendly and accommodating.

Was given a voucher for a birthday present so booked this hotel for a champagne Sunday lunch. Beautiful setting on Hammersmith Road, very tranquil. The lunch was lovely and we enjoyed it. It's also a whisky bar with an amazing collection of whiskies. The site of historical interest. Excellent customer service. Short walk from Barons Court tube station.

Nice place, good service, but expensive for what you get.

Free flowing champagne afternoon tea experience was great. The staff are very attentive and friendly

A lovely, out of the way place to relax and unwind. Fantastic outdoor space, too. Great staff and service. Amazing selection of whiskies would give any Whisky bar a run for their money. Look out for their regular whisky tastings

Lovely afternoon tea. Great scones, sandwiches and cakes.

Tried their 8-course whisky tasting menu! We had such a great time! So much great fresh ingredients and amazing flavours!!

Excellent Champagne Afternoon Tea the best we have had , Beautiful, at a relaxed pace. V attentive charming waiter who really kept all 6 of us very happy . Beautiful room also can’t fault , 2nd visit in the last 5 months, will come again , noticed there enormous collection of Whiskies . Would love to stay in the hotel around December time, it feels a very Homely hotel.

We booked a Champagne Afternoon Tea. The champagne was nice. The start of the food was good - smoked salmon and salmon roe. It went downhill from then. I ordered loose leaf tea. The leaves were brought out in a strainer which I was asked to pour the water from the pot through the strainer. I tried to tell them that you should steep the tea in the water first and then strain the tea, but this went above their heads. I put the tealeaves in the pot to brew and the teapot had a crack and leaked tea all over the tablecloth. A napkin was placed over the soaking area - they should have replaced the cloth. There was a finger sandwich of cucumber which was made from 'junk' bread which stretched as you tried to bite it. The brioche buns were dry as there was so little filling. The cheese scone was nice. My husband tried the fruit scone but left it as it was dry. He also tried the carrot cake which was also dry. We left more food than we ate.

Fortunately we had a great experience, rather different from the Diane H review. Excellent friendly service, we enjoyed the champagne, the various teas (although we didn’t have the loose tea options) and the interesting selection of quality food. Plus the historic significance of the venue.

I hosted an event here for work. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful in the lead up to and during the event - anything we needed, they gladly did. The breakfast buffet food was excellent - really great quality and plenty of it. The only thing that could have been improved was that the space we used for the event was very dated and not really in line with the standard of the rest of the restaurant and hotel.

Had a lovely afternoon tea here Friday 3rd May. Food was excellent, scones were great especially the plain ones with bacon jam! Also the plate of smoked salmon was excellent too, a lovely touch. Service was very good and very attentive. We had the champagne afternoon tea and the champagne was fabulous and a very generous glass. We also had some cocktails, which were very good. This was a virgin experience gift and we were very impressed. Good location near Hammersmith Station. 10 out of 10 and a big thank you to all the staff. Highly recommended

My friend and I had a wonderful afternoon tea at The Melody restaurant today. (Buy-a-gift present). The food was very nice and there was plenty of it. The staff gave us a box each to take the leftover cakes home to enjoy. We had a nice jasmine blossom tea. The atmosphere is relaxed and the restaurant is clean, complete with nice paintings and a chandelier. The staff are polite and welcoming. The hotel is a beautiful old building with interesting history. Well worth a visit.

Had the champagne afternoon tea and it was the best afternoon tea I've ever had ( I've had quite a few!,) food was so nice and the smoked salmon and caviar side was unexpected. Each bit was delicious and staff so polite and attentive and kindly swapped our champagne for white wine. Definitely would recommend and the hotel was lovely too. We had a groupon voucher which made it excellent value for money.

A wonderful champagne afternoon tea. 🍾 They catered impeccably for my gluten intolerance. The food was well above par. The gluten-free bread was light and fluffy. The pastries didn't fall apart, and the scones? Ooooh, they did not disappoint! 😍 The staff were knowledgeable and extremely polite.

Magnificent brick building with a garden area. I went there for afternoon tea between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. A British experience to live. The service was impeccable and the room is truly superb. I recommend making a reservation to be sure of having a place. The content of the Afternoon Tea is very copious and a doggy bag is possible if you can't eat it all, which was the case for us despite being fast ^^ Compared to others the price was fair £31 for the first price. Tea is unlimited if you need it. I highly recommend if you are in the area.

If you are looking for an affordable Afternoon Tea, The Melody Restaurant is highly recommended. Please see photos for reference. Thank you to the Filipino Staff who served us on that day. Thank you Kuya!!

This was our fourth event at The Melody Restaurant / St. Paul Hotel and the only word to describe the evening was MARVELOUS. The food, the beverages, the atmosphere, and the service were all impeccable! Kudos to Carl, Ariana and the entire Melody team for another extraordinary evening!

Lovely staff, lovely atmosphere and service. 4* for the food as we didn’t like the savoury afternoon tea options that much (personal preference) but everything else was absolutely amazing. Hands down the best afternoon tea I’ve ever been too. Would go again in a heartbeat

Celebrated my big birthday here with a beautiful afternoon tea, it was incredible! I can honestly say it was the best I have ever had, excellent value, generous, the service was first class and what a beautiful place and setting. Highly reccomended.

Great value and good quality. Sandwiches a little boring with not as much filling as one would like, but the excellent salmon dish. scones and cakes more than make up for it. Will happily return.

Booked a Champagne Afternoon Tea using a Virgin Experience Voucher. The food was generous in size , extremely tasty and well presented with unlimited tea/coffee. The service was excellent throughout.

Booked this for a thank you meal with am important customer. Beautiful building. Excellent service. Lovely food. Quiet spot. Definitely will return

music, waiter and food were really good (valentines menu)

Amazing service and atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful, specially Ferdrico, the way welcome us and explains all the details of the food served.

Solid ambience and very nice service.

Booked an early dinner for 5:15pm before a show at the Apollo that started at 7pm. On arrival at reception there were 2 staff members fiddling about with the thermostat, they turned to see us then immediately turned back to what they were doing, without acknowledging us at all. After standing around close to 5 minutes we just walked around ourselves until we found the restaurant. The restaurant manager then informed us that the restaurant wouldn't be open until 5:30pm (although it let us book online for 5:15pm specifically for dinner and time was obviously of the essence due to our plans later in the evening). We were shown to a table in the bar to wait 10 minutes (which turned out to be 15) and neither the restaurant manager nor a single member of staff came over to offer us a drink whilst we waited. Eventually we were taken through to the restaurant where we were handed menus which was not in line with the online menu, missing a lot of items and no replacement dishes. I asked to see the bar menu as due to dietary restrictions and the reduced menu there weren't any mains of my liking. The waitress brought over the bar menu happily. When it came to ordering we were told that they couldn't serve anything from the bar menu in the restaurant, and they couldn't serve anything from the restaurant menu in the bar. They offered to seat us in a more private area - but when pressed as to whether we could order off different menus we were flatly told a firm no. Despite the fact we would not be eating in either the restaurant or the bar. At this point we cut our losses and went to find something else to grab quickly before our show. From start to finish, the issues with the booking, their service, the lack of accommodating to customers you have already disappointed and the pure, absolute pretentiousness of the chef to refuse to serve items from different menus in a private area of the venue made this a truly awful experience in every way from start to finish. Afternoon tea may be nice, but I would steer well, well clear of having dinner here.

Lovely afternoon tea, thank you 😊

Really enjoyed the 3 course meal here. Superb food and great service- will be back again !-

We had a lovely afternoon tea there with 9 people. Friendly staff, great ambience, good quality, recommendation

I’d give 10 stars. Afternoon tea sumptuous top quality and fairly priced. Staff are attentive and absolutely charming. I’ll be back thank you

Six of us including two kids went to The Melody restaurant for afternoon tea and it was a wonderful experience. The food was really varied and tasty and they took in to account our dietary requirements. The food was plentiful, in fact we took home a few boxes of leftovers as we couldn’t finish it all. Hot drinks were free flowing and plenty of teas (and coffees) to choose from. The restaurant and settings are beautiful and just a short walk from the tube station. We were looked after by Jackie who couldn’t have done more to make sure we were happy, she was so helpful and attentive. A special thank you to her and those who helped answer our questions prior to booking. I’d highly recommend this experience.

A great place for afternoon tea. Lovely food and great service.

Excellent meal with top-notch service in a very nice space. Highly recommended.

Service très long Oubli carte des whiskys

Food was lovely and service was excellent and a very reasonably priced menu on Christmas eve. Made a wonderful family memory.

Beautiful interior and amazing food. Service very good from all of the staff. Would definitely recommend. Not far from Hammersmith Station.

Really enjoyed the afternoon in lovely room with good food.

Delicious dinner served by friendly waiters in a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend

Had a Champagne afternoon tea, it was amazing, the place is stunning, service 5*, and the food amazing! Salmon and caviar was a nice surprise, for my husband! I loved the cheese scones, so good! The fruit scones were fantastic, never had any like that before. We had a lovely, relaxed afternoon with food that was unique, tasted great and made us feel very pampered. Would love to go again.

Great food and friendly staff ,especially Fredrico. Afternoon tea was delicious.

This is a review of the whisky bar. Excellent selection of whiskies. Three of us did whisky flights - 3 selections of five whiskies. Very good prices, lovely ambiance. Shall definitely returning.

My friend and I dined at the melody restaurant for afternoon tea, which included a glass of champagne. It was excellent.

This place was excellent. I went there twice during my birthday weekend with a group of friends and cannot rate it highly enough. Ambiance was olde world and very cosy and attractive setting. Food very high quand excellent service. Had 3 course dinner and afternoon tea the next day. They even presented me with birthday dessert plate.

Posto meraviglioso. Personale gentile, ottimo cibo, varietà di tè. Bellissima esperienza.

great selection of whiskies, probably the best in london

Lovely spot in Hammersmith but very disappointing Restaurant .Two of my friends had Mushroom Risotto which they found inedible . Not a mushroom in sight.!!My Fish was VERY Dry and tasteless accompanying vegetable which i had no taste to it . Even the Mango Sorbet was pretty tastsless. VERY DISAPPOINTING .

Service: really lovely staff and very attentive. My only suggestion would be, please don't ask diners if they're ok with everything what felt like every 5 minutes. We just mostly wanted to be left alone and felt like we were being watched like a hawk. Again, very very sweet and friendly, but just tone it down a little. Atmosphere: not much to say, cosy and lovely Food: I hate saying this about anything I eat, but it was just awful. Not only did the food arrive late (we got an apology for this) but it was cold, like it had been waiting on the counter for a while before it came to us. My risotto was the worst dish I've ever had and I couldn't finish it - bland and no flavour, parmesan on top so cold I had to use my fingers to tear it. My friend's steak and mash were cold and lacked flavour. The only decent thing was the broccoli but cost £6 and something so simple to make that it doesn't justify the price point. Alot of the positive reviews seem to be mostly about the afternoon tea experience, which I have not tried (and don't plan to) - fix the menu please. The food is truly not worth what you pay for and needs reworking. It's a shame, always wanted to try Melody so I'm really disappointed. However, thank you to the staff who were the only good thing about our evening.

Helt fantastisk upplevelse. Trevlig personal, underbar mat och trivsam lokal.

Champagne afternoon tea was lovely, great service and fantastic selection of teas.

Went for the afternoon set this afternoon. Great selection of tea but the food is quite bland.

Had an afternoon tea here and had to repeat twice my allergies, and had to remind them about my surprise which I asked on the phone

Had afternoon tea here today and it was honestly our favourite we've ever had in London. We do a LOT of afternoon teas, including the Ritz, and would still prefer to come here as it is excellent value. Service was impeccably polite and they were very accommodating when we had to do a last minute reschedule. The food was delicious and included an extra plate of salmon & caviar in addition to the usual scones, sandwiches & desserts. We were able to take our desserts home in a box as we were very full (although they accidentally didn't pack the scone as requested). We will 100% come back again. Highly recommend!

Pleasantly surprised on the quality and portion size. We had the Sunday Roast deal. Good value for money and have taken up another deal

Excellent food, and very lovely service.

Un Afternoon Tea merveilleux et délicieux, copieux et bien garni! Un bon Champagne et du thé de qualité. Le lieu est magnifique et calme et niché dans un petit parc ! On se sent dans une petite campagne pourtant dans Hammersmith. L'amabilité du personnel qui nous a servi est à noter. L'accueil à l'entrée en revanche était limite. Nous y retournerons sans aucun doute j'ai eu un superbe anniversaire.

We had a wonderful afternoon tea, the staff were very attentive and their attention to detail was fabulous.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff serving delicious afternoon tea, comprising of variety of sandwiches, scones, pastries and a glass of champagne. Great place to go in London.🫖☕️🍾🥂🍰

Afternoon Tea was exceptional. Wide choice, so fresh and tasty. Perfect surroundings, you would never know you are in central London. Just perfect.

Hervorragender Afternoon Tea und top Service!

This is just my favourite place in London because it is an all rounder: the quality of the food, the atmosphere, the beauty of the building and its history as well as the kind and warm service from the delightful staff team- perfect. P.s this place has the best whisky selection for miles around and the whisky flights are very reasonably priced!

Essen sehr gut. Leider keine Abweichungen von der Karte möglich

We had the standard St. Paul’s Afternoon Tea for two people (30£ pp), and it was absolutely delightful! Scones were warm and fluffy, overall a good balance of fruity and sweet pastries vs slightly savory sandwiches. 3 page long selection of tea. Relaxed, private atmosphere. Servers were friendly and accommodating and packed up the leftovers very nicely for us upon request. Excellent price/quality ratio, if given the chance, would go again.
