    I was meeting a friend for lunch and booked a table (unfortunately) assuming there would be something that could accommodate vegan even if it was just a salad. I asked a member of staff (who looked like a manageress) but she didn't even seem to understand what vegan was but then said they don't cater for vegans. I was shocked and said surely something could be made vegan but she insisted there was only a vegetarian menu. I pointed out that on the back of the menu it said that most dietary requirements could be met, but she said again they don't cater for vegan. Then she said she could ask if a specific thing I asked for could be vegan (even though I kept asking can ANYTHING be made vegan) so I asked about the falafel burger and she was even rude the way she responded. She came back and ignored me, I had get her attention to ask her again and she said no. The whole experience was awful. I will never ever recommend this place to anyone ever again. On top of all this they have a contact email address that just bounces back. It's a joke of a place.

    The meal (Steak) was impossible to cut and not provided with the correct knife. A steak knife was provided on request and the steak still couldn't be cut, it was full of gristle and impossible to eat. It must of dies of old age. Service was prompt.

    Service was slow and it was very cold. The food was ok but not hot when it arrived. Our waitress was friendly.

    Went for lunch in-between Christmas and New Year so was pretty quiet. Service and food was good though. Not sure what it is like during busy periods.

    I had fairly low expectations from this venue which is situated in Liverpool Street Station. But I needed to eat before catching a train and frankly I couldn't find anywhere else available to book on a Friday evening approaching Christmas. In the event I was presently surprised. Inevitibly it was busy and fairly noisey with revellers but the food was well prepared and well presented. I had the "naked burger" option (meaning with salad instead of a bun) and the salad was much bettter than the token effort I expected. My cask ale was well kept though the choice of ales might have been better. Service was friendly despite the pressure of a busy crowd.
