    I made a reservation at Huxley's so I could have breakfast with my mother. What a great discovery. Everything on the menu looked so good, we had to call on a staff member to advise us! I finally had eggs bennies Florentine and my mom had the Huxley. The hot chocolate was delicious. The space is warm and the staff very welcoming.

    All fab, staff super nice and friendly, good fantastic, decor lovely. I took one star away from ambience purely because the noise level was just a little high for dinner when we arrived at 7pm as there were lots of people at the bar. This did calm down by around 8pm

    We only had wine but getting charged 10% for service for delivering 2 bottles of wine to the table. Are waiting staff not paid to wait on tables why are the customers being automatically charged an extra service charge. It’s becoming a joke.

    The bar service was exceptionally slow for drinks. The place wasn’t even busy. Quite expensive for standard food. We weren’t impressed and won’t go back.
    The HuxleyResponded 4 days ago

We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to provide you with a better experience in the future. Have a Great Christmas & New Year Team Huxley
