We had a lovely evening in the 'secret courtyard' The snacks and wine were delicious and not too pricey for London. All four members of staff that served us through the night were absolutely lovely. Table service is a nice touch! Will definitely return to try the food menu too. Thanks for a lovely evening 😊
