Food was spectacular. Only odd and negative point was that after gladly paying the discretionary 12.5% service charge I was asked to tip on top when presented with the card machine, being told that this additional tip would go to a smaller number of the staff as opposed to being divided by all as the original one was. Suffice to say I felt a bit awkward then and really somewhat pressured into handing over more money. So a meal for two with no alcohol ended up costing me £40 for service which I thought was a bit rich. In short, I don’t think you should be asking for more tips on top of an already paid service charge.
