Excellent, friendly and helpful service. The Sunday roast menu was comprehensive and the food was well presented and of high quality. The wine list was extensive with interesting varieties on offer. The charges are on the high side but in accordance with what now appears to be the norm in London. We enjoyed our meal and visit very much. The bill was chargeable on card only and included an already charged service charge of 12.5 %. We would have preferred to have left a discretionary amount in cash directly for the excellent waiter who served us so well.
