Delicious food. Service was good. Skybar is closed so a little disappointed we couldn’t follow our meal with a drink at the bar. Otherwise a good experience.

We arrived and were told they no longer offered the bottomless brunch we had travelled quite a way to attend. Asked to see a manager but after stood for ages waiting we gave up and left. Very unhappy as it ruined a planned special occasion for us all

Fantastic lunch at Schpoon & Forx yesterday! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was impeccable — Kiera and Radu went above and beyond to make the experience special. Chef Louis was a superstar, creating dishes that impressed everyone, including my 85-year-old mum, who thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and exceptional hospitality!

All very nice apart from some items were missing from the menu - decided to go with the lamb linguine - to be fair it sounded a strange option and in reality it was! Iti turned out to be substitute spaghetti Bolognese with pulled lamb in it - can’t say I enjoyed it that much although the staff seem pleased with their new menu options…

Had a lovely meal, very attentive and helpful staff, quick service. The roasted cod was delicious as was the Tiramisu dessert, my husband really enjoyed the beef brisket. Couldn’t fault it and will definitely be returning.
