The best restaurants serving British food in St James's City of London, Westminster London

We were looking for afternoon tea and dropped in to enquire, and what a day to drop in! I went to ask a lady by a champagne stand and she gave my husband and I a free glass of Veuve (my favourite drink) and asked someone to help with our query! Omar (I think) came back and said afternoon tea was available and sat us in ‘The Den’! It’s an interesting room with fun art and board games. Monica then came to take the order and we got three adult and one child aft teas, during this time the lovely lady from the champagne stand brought our girls a ‘St Martins’ monopoly game present each to keep and another champagne! The afternoon tea was really tasty, the scones warm and crumbly, the savoury food was deliciously different and the detail and storytelling was fun too! My husband and I have decided we will stay at the hotel next time we’re visiting London as it was just so wonderful. We had music from the birthday party next door, which was great, our girls had things to do, lovely food, great surroundings, perfect location and wonderful atmosphere! The staff here were exceptional - the champagne lady (I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name), Omar, the young lady who told the afternoon tea story and Monica, you were all so lovely, thanks for a above and beyond London afternoon tea experience! Cheers!

Habíamos reservado la cena en conexión con una velada en el teatro. Entradas prepagadas a una producción musical y cerrar un prepago comida en un restaurante especializado en una cena de carne asada con todos sus detalles que había estado allí antes y yo estaba deseando mostrando mi hija la comida increíble y experiencia. El agente de reservas era Evan Evans - una agencia de buena reputación que habíamos reservado y llevado 4 tours con esa semana. Imagine nuestra sorpresa cuando llegamos a encontrar el restaurante reservado sólo 2 meses antes ya no existía. Reformas de haber ocurrido 5 meses antes. Nos aseguraron que la reserva sería respetada en el mostrador de recepción y luego de nuevo a la zona de restaurante. Nos llevaban para el teatro y no se han acostumbrado a comer bien y así estábamos bastante encantados con lo que parecía ser un encantador y renovado menú rediseño del nuevo restaurante. Elegimos el vino (no incluido en la reserva) y nos dirigimos a las opciones del menú Seleccionar dentro de los parámetros de lo explicado como domésticos de nuestra reserva - hasta ahora tan bueno. Elegimos un aperitivo para compartir y entre cada una de las Dover y el acompañamiento. El servicio era impecable, aunque sospecho que el pescado no era fresco como sabía más bien como una pecera huele rancio. . Pero luego seleccionados un intrépidos del desierto que compartimos como único era bastante abundante y me por el sabor.

After a lovely evening at the theatre I wanted a cocktail before we got the train home. I have had drinks and food at the Rockwell bar on a number of occassions but yesterday we got treated very badly but a rude member of staff at the Rockwell. The bar manager continued to argue with my family group ( of ladies ) as ‘ we had already had a drink before hand ‘ To then be told wasn’t able to have a drink there even after we was served water and had ordered. Then asked to leave like and had to get our things and go. Very rude, patronising and embarrassing situation for me and my family. For that I will not be returning not recommending this bar to anyone and you can definitely get better service elsewhere.

No staff on. Any checkout ( serious ) 2 of 4 Self help. Tills broken and no. Floor. Manager I left 200 pound worth of. Foid at the broken till Not going. Again sainsbury and waitress Much more proffessional and intrested in..customer care Never again Martin..digan

It’s cheap and that’s the only plus. The food wasn’t tasty, some of the dishes came cold. Very moderate. Horrible toilet.

Four of us drove up from the south coast for a weekday lunch. Easy journey, parked in the basement, enjoyed a pre lunch drink followed by a delicious lunch in the Coffee Room served by friendly and attentive staff. Great value and a fine day out. Must do this more often!

This review is for the Pinner high street outlet of Cafe Amici. It's a warm n cosy cafe serving beverages , snacks, sandwiches etc . Washrooms are available in this outlet

Un super restaurant avec beaucoup de bonne humeur ! De la comfort food british typique faite maison et je recommande le crumble aux pommes On reviendra !

OMG the focaccia! We stopped here for a drink mid-afternoon. The waiter was very laid-back, friendly and accommodating. We had a bottle of the Picpoul de Pinet (very nice) and a beer, great olives and the most amazing, warm, perfect focaccia. Very impressed and we will return for lunch or dinner.

This was a Birthday celebration for my son's 40th. We had cocktails in the bar before going to the restaurant for an excellent 3 course meal. The food and service could not be faulted and the decor fantastic, this all made it a wonderful memorable evening.

The panini sandwiches here were the best ones we have ever tasted, it was very friendly and nice service, Flam was the nicest guy who made the best hot chocolate! I would 100% reccomend this place to anyone who enjoys friendly service, a warm restaurant, delicious food and a welcome like no other. Love Orsini Cafe!!

We arrived to the vessel at 7:30 to find a lengthy queue already forming. The weather was chilly, but fortunately no rain, or a great many would have suffered exposure to the elements in their fine dress. Thankfully we had done our research, and the FAQ section did warn of this possibility beforehand and we were not caught off guard. The onboarding process went fairly quickly and we were whisked away to our booth accommodated for 7. The champagne and wine pours were swift, substantial, and surprisingly superb. One might never know with “inclusive” beverage packages, but the elegant offering was spot on. We enjoyed Beef Wellington as our main. It was delicious and memorable. One of our guests suffers from a gluten allergy and the advance planning with the SS coordination team paid off. We enjoyed seamless service to address the dietary requirement from start to finish. This is critically important to a successful event, seeing as we would not have wanted to start our meal without everyone in our party having been served. Things could have quickly go awry with meals getting cold, but this was not endured by our party, and we could not have dreamt of a better outcome. The view for the fireworks was amazing and onboard music was entertaining and enjoyed by all. As a New Year’s celebration, it is expensive by most standards. Additionally, one must consider pricey pre-arranged car service. The transportation around London is quite challenging at New Years, with several road closures to navigate, and you’ll want informed and dependable transport. Trust your hotel concierge and prearrange! All things considered, it’s a highly recommended once in a lifetime experience.

A sign saying they have moved but not telling me where to! Can anyone help! Great little place with reasonably priced baguettes, an easy lunch go to most days!

Visit to London. This lovely little sandwich shop 500 yards from our hotel. Service from the owners very friendly. Food lovely and all reasonably priced especially given its location. Please spend your money at this place instead of the 100's of Pret de Mangers.
