    Had to send my starter back as it wasn’t what was on the menu- scallops were with dry peas instead of a pea purée. Mains- salmon and chicken were really tasty for both of us were lovely. Service was excellent not intrusive, professional and attentive. Been before, will go again. Much better than the IVY!!!!

    Fantastic lunch at Schpoon & Forx yesterday! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was impeccable — Kiera and Radu went above and beyond to make the experience special. Chef Louis was a superstar, creating dishes that impressed everyone, including my 85-year-old mum, who thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and exceptional hospitality!
