The best restaurants serving British food in Church Street City of London, Westminster London

It’s the price that sets this place apart. Pretty decent food at a very generous price for this part of London. Sat atop the huge antique market, it has a simple menu, not the vastest choice but full English tasted reasonable enough. Can sit inside or weather permitting in the rooftop terrace.

So this restaurant was taking part in the Eat Out To Help Out scheme where everything is 50% off when dining in. I double checked this with the waitress before placing my order. Big mistake... I was treated differently from that point onwards. I placed an order for one Shish Taouk. There are 2 sizes, small and large which I forgot to stipulate to the waitress at the time. The waitress didn’t bother to ask me either. Moments later when I realised I asked the waitress what size is my dish (small dish is £8.50 and large is £11). The waitress said she ordered me the large dish because I had to spend a minimum of £10 with the Eat Out To Help Out scheme! However this isn’t true. There is NO minimum spend, but with a maximum of £10 discount per person. I did not appreciate her dishonesty. Her service was poor also. To make matters worse this restaurant is clearly not bothered about social distancing. Every other table had tape plastered on it in order to adhere to the social distancing rules. However a customer sat on one of these tables which was adjacent to me and was served by the waitresses (as shown below). I asked one of the waitresses why this was happening and she didn’t seem to care. So I asked the manager, who gave his name as Ali, why are you asking customers to leave their name and number when you’re clearly not abiding by the social distancing rules? I told him I felt I comfortable sitting less than one metre from a fellow diner. His response was it shouldn’t happen but he can’t control where people decide to sit down and eat. Well it was the waitress’s job to ask the customer to sit elsewhere. The manager didn't fill me with any confidence that changes will be made for me to want to return anytime in the near future.
