    Service and food was good but the heating had broken so we were quite cold - staff apologised but it did take from the evening

    On paper, this looked like an attractive menu with something for everyone. Perhaps £5 extra for bread and butter should have been a clue. The portions were ridiculously tiny: £25 for a fish pie that came in a dolls house dish, and £19 for a smallish plate of 'linguini with cockles and crab containing 5 cockles and a teaspoonful of crab meat. The 'creamed spinach' (£7) was a small handful of bag baby spinach with a bit of cream stirred through. We were going to a concert in the Hall, and had told them so, but we had to get up and find somebody to order our puddings: two icecreams, which we were told took no time to prepare but in fact took so long that we didn't have time to finish them. I know Skylon has a captive market and - for those who get a window seat - nice views, but to me that doesn't justify these prices.
