Tucked away beneath the arches of Charing Cross, Champagne Charlies is ideally located for wining, dining and entertaining. The wood panelling, exposed brick, intimate alcoves and candelit tables make for a cosy yet rustic ambiance. Our heritage as part of Davy’s wine merchants guarantees an extensive cellar, alongside the best in craft beers, premium spirits and soft drinks. Port is always decanted and Davy’s Old Wallop real ale is served in pewter tankards or half gallon copper jugs. Menus are created using fresh, seasonal produce, celebrating classic British fare with something for everyone.

This was a ladies' catch-up lunch, and CC is perfectly located for us - plus you really can't go wrong with a Davys Winebar. We both had coffees, burgers and a glass of house red, all of which were just what we wanted/needed. I've been going to various Davys for years (even held my retirement dinner in one) and will continue to do so.

A very poor experience indeed, as what we booked was not what we received. We were given the regular menus and when we explained that we were on an opentable fixed price 2 course for £19.95pp offer, the server had no idea what the options were and left to check, returning to offer a choice of 2 starters, 2 mains or dessert, all of which were vegetarian, (bruchetta, or burrata salad and chilli linguini or butternut squash), when I questioned this and said that it didn't resemble the menu on opentable and that only 2 choices ( both vegetarian) was pretty poor, she went to check again and returned to add sausage and mash, stating that the menus were just changing. Both starters consisted of a piece of regular sliced bread, lightly toasted and topped with very little topping. Both main dishes were adequate. When we asked for the bill, we were disappointed to find that we had been overcharged and the bill was for £42 plus service, when I pointed this out to the server, she went to speak with the manager, who returned and made us feel extremely uncomfortable, stating that the restaurant would have to take the hit and be out of pocket and deducted £2.10 from the bill.

We were searching for a place while visiting london that was open for reservations. When we arrived the host said we didn’t have a reservation and that the restaurant was out of most things. Desperate to rest after a long day of touring London by foot, we decided to grab a drink and collect our thoughts. In the end, we shared the welcome we got from the host with the waitress who put us at ease. We decided to stay for dinner. The food was ok, not bad but nothing special. What we really enjoyed (and needed) were the drinks and quiet atmosphere.

I don’t know if this is an authentic British dining experience, but for us American tourists it was exactly what we were looking for. I had bangers and mash and was happy!
