Best British Restaurants in Westminster

My first time there and I must say it’s one of my favourite Indian restaurants in London. Great service , delicious food, lovely live jazz music and great wine selection. We will go again !

Food would have been five stars but the sauce for the scallop appetizer overpowered the single lonely scallop.

My friend and I had a table booked for a late lunch at 15.00. I turned up at around 14.30, and it was no trouble at all that I was so early. We both went for the fixed price menu at £19 for two courses, and had the salmon rillette and chicken satay to start, followed by the haddock fishcake and shepherd's pie. My friend had a side of green beans as well. The food was all delicious, as usual at The Ivy, and the service was efficient and friendly - although our young waitress was asking us about the food before we'd had a chance to eat anything. The bill, with two glasses of House Champagne and a large glass of Sauvignon Blanc came to roughly £50 each including service.

It was my first time visiting,catching up with my friend. Food was lovely and the drinks flowed nicely

The Orchard Room is a lovely part of the Conrad Hotel. We arrived for our afternoon tea, unsure of where to go and the lovely gentleman from the concierge walked us to The orchard Room. He then spoke to a man in a black suit to let him know we had arrived and our booking name. However what happened next was not professional. He was telling the concierge gentlemen to take us to our seats and kept pointing at the table, as though he was too busy. There was only one other table having afternnoon tea! Eventually another gentlemen appeared in a grey waistcoat and took us to our table. We were then advised that whatever we didn’t consume we could take home. Fast forward… we were then advised at the end that we couldn’t take anything home. We felt that the conversation previously taken place, was conflicting. I don’t mean to say, but the gentlemen could hardly speak English, so there was a little confusion his end. We booked The Orchard Room from an instagram recommendation. The afternoon tea is £65. For this price we would have expected from the beginning to be shown to our seats, as oppose to to the Manager being ‘too busy’ and palming his duties off onto the concierge. On a positive note the afternoon tea was excellent. The table display, the crockery was simply outstanding. We will not return sadly.
