    Manager showed us to our seat when we arrived then sent over our server (Lewis) to to take our drinks order. We had a fantastic table with thee perfect view of the castle and for people watching. Lewis was very attentive all evening and was happy to share his knowledge and personal experience for cocktails and food options. He really is a great asset to The Huxley and made our first experience truly memorable. We will both definitely be back to try other cocktails and food options. Certainly clued up on Ceoliac options too and I had a fab gluten free meal.

    Came with my partner and my daughter and her boyfriend before the rugby. Welcoming and friendly service, especially from our waitress Cat (sorry if name wrong). Really made our day

    me and my friends normally have a great time at the huxley but yesterdays visit fell below the standards that we normally experience and it was notable that all in my party felt the same in terms of the time taken once ordered to get both food and drink. the huxley is normally very busy especially on rugby international days and i have factored this point into my response but unfortunately the experience just did not sit well on our shoulders. i would add that stuart who we normally see and has to date provided excellent service for the many times that we have visited was not on duty and this may have contributed to our average experience this time.
