Professional service from start to finish. A glass of Prosecco was a welcome start to the fixed price meal. Carefully prepared dishes were focussed and precise. The veloute was creamy, the pork belly was succulent but not fatty, the venison was tender and pink. Four (different) puddings were idiosyncratic and delicious. The wine list is comprehensive and an Australian Chardonnay was ripe, fruity and good value. Coffee came with petit fours.

The afternoon tea with champagne was excellent. Perfect service, faultless catering of cakes and scallops really was a lovely birthday treat for my husband. The added bonus of a surprise birthday treat served with a greeting message was very well received. Thank you Savoy x
