The Ned

Was up smoke and my niece recommended The Feast as we are both foodies that like both quality and quantity. The Feast didn’t disappoint! Never had such a variety of seafood and Sunday carvery at exceptionally high quality. It’s not cheap and you get 2hrs which went very quickly however IMO it was very much worth the money and would do again. The starters Inc oysters, cravettes, smoked salmon and smoked meats were so good. Then it was lobster again with a few more oysters, salad and salmon en croute. Didn’t have the main course chicken but had both pork and beef and pork again, so good. The roasties, veg, cauliflower cheese covered in the meaty gravy was the best. Don’t really do desserts but did have a pop cake. You do get a drink with the meal and had water as well. The staff are attentive taking away plates and cutlery and ambience with live music making it a great place to also hang at the bar. Will be back!

I was 60 last year and I have been celebrating my birthday. On 1/3/2025 my friend and I visited Millie's Lounge. My experience was extremely upsetting. The 3 doormen (2 white and 1 black) were chatting and did not greet us so I said 'good afternoon gentlemen'. The 2 white men immediately responded however the black man blatantly ignored me and continued chatting. The black doorman opened the door for 2 white people before us, he did not open the door for us. Our order was incorrect and we were unacceptably overcharged! My friend went to view The Vault restaurant, she did not know that she was not allowed in there. Another black man on The Vault door was really rude to my friend and refused to accept her sincere apology for her mistake. He also blatantly ignored me when I tried to apologise. We felt that as a black woman, we were not welcome at The Ned. The Food & Beverage Manager categorically said no to any recompense. I will not be returning to The Ned. I will return to The Ritz and The Shard where I have been warmly welcomed regardless of the colour of my black skin.

Exceptional service at Library Bar for a hotel guest. Simon is to the table with aplomb. Truly lived up to its reputation. Could not recommend any higher for a quiet drink or quick bite to eat. Hidden gem with exceptional service. Very grateful.

Beautiful room and amazing concierge team. They were so obliging and kind as I prepared for my wedding here. Aside from that, I was disappointed by a distinct lack of flexibility, and limited access. My feeling is that this place has the potential to be a knock-out, but it is currently style over substance.

We opted for drinks and food in the Nickel Bar , service good as was the burger. Shame about the refurb noise . Fabulous building with the old bank strong room still visible on lower floors. We hope to return when it’s a little quieter and more open
