    We went for the Back To The Future afternoon tea with unlimited cocktails. We expected a themed atmosphere and a more themed serving. Hot dogs were delicious,Burgers were very good. Burritos were ok,a bit dry,Mac in toast was ok,deserts were very good. Cocktails were weak,we had 6 each and had no effect on us. The waiter added 13.5% service charge,he did inform us but it made us feel compelled to pay it. We're glad we went ,but wouldn't repeat the experience. The main food for others looked delicious and served by robots.

Your comments on the service charge are noted, and we always strive to ensure that guests are fully aware of it before it is applied. We hope to have the chance to welcome you again and create a more enjoyable experience next time. Kind regards, Guest Services, SOUND @ The Cumberland

    Great visit - greeted promptly and shown to our table where our waiter, Aslam (Ricky Martin!!), took our order and explained what was on offer. He was excellent and very attentive (we had booked a bottomless brunch).
